EVO
Moment #37 Recreated as Justin Wong's Chun-Li Gets Parried by Ken Player
Online

 EVO
Moment #37 is undoubtedly one of the most famous moments in
competitive fighting game history. At EVO 2004, Daigo "The
Beast" Umehara parried all 15 hits of Justin Wong's Chun-Li
during her Lightning Kicks Super Art in
Street Fighter
III: 3rd Strike to win the set. Earlier this week on Tuesday, the iconic "Daigo parry"
sequence was recreated for FGC
legend and multi-time Street Fighter world champion, Justin Wong,
while he was playing a match of SFIII: 3rd Strike online against a
random Ken Masters player (named "capge"). Entertaining his audience on
Twitch, Justin Wong taunted the Ken player by saying "You ain't
Daigo" as he initiated Chun-Li's Super Art... and well, just watch
the outcome.

In case you were wondering, after "taking the L" in
the first round... Justin Wong came back in the next two rounds to win the
match. It goes to show that when the netcode is solid (and when you spend
many hours practicing parries), truly awesome things are possible while
playing fighting games
online. Incredibly, Justin Wong's video has already been viewed over 1 million
times on Twitter.
FUN FACT:  EVO
Moment #37 is featured in Street
Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition as a Special Trial where players
can attempt to recreate the incredibly-difficult Daigo parry under the
same circumstances that occurred during EVO 2004.

2022.
