Don’t Call It A Comeback… Wait, Scratch That

Here’s the scenario for this video: The location is a Pro Evo Tournament in NY. The game is Street Fighter III: Third Strike. The score is 1-1. Whoever wins this round wins the match and will be crowned champion.
The commentator in the video reveals that one of the contestants, Daigo, is showing a bit of anger. What results from Daigo’s anger is an amazing amount of parries to counter Justin Wong’s Chun-Li special move combo. For those of you who never played SF3: Third Strike, to time a single parry move is an amazing feet by itself because it’s a precisely timed input (I believe it’s FWD + Punch or BCK + Punch) and to pull it of in rapid successions as Daigo did is remarkable and truly makes this video one of the most amazing tournament outcomes ever to be recorded.

That was totally awesome!
Wow, I came across this footage again. It’s always incredible no matter how many times I watch it. That’s about as “Grand” as a grand finals could get. ^_^
