Wait, this doesn't mean very much to me, since I've never been fond of fighting games... but did he like block a very insane combo and then pull one himself? The loudness gave me goosebumps though, gotta love those kinda events.

As I understand it, he's not just "blocking", the block move he does is actually a trick that blocks an attack without taking any damage. If he would just do a normal block, he would die instantly (no health left). So he has to perforn this trick multiple times at the exact right times, etc... pretty cool.

Oooohhh, I get it now.

That is very, very kickass. On many levels.

It's called parrying.

And yes, it was quite incredible due to the fact that not only did he do something quite difficult, he did it in the semifinals of the biggest fighting game tourney in America. That's a lot of pressure.

...He lost in the finals, though. :P

I read that on another board I visit, it explains a bit how parrying works:

"I'm quite into 3rd Strike, and yes, that video is amazing. Daigo (the Ken player) is one of the best players in the world, and Justin Wong (the Chun player) is the American player who made it to the semi-finals against him at Evolution 2004, a big fighting game tournament held in the States.

If you watched the whole match, which I have, you'll know that Daigo was just playing around with Justin for the whole match. Frequently, he would taunt after doing basic moves and take the damage, just to show how superior he is at the game. So, it's a "comeback", yeah, but only because Daigo decided to end it dramatically by LETTING Justin hit him down to that much health, and taunting Justin by giving him the ability to do his super, which he then parried (something that's very hard to do, but somewhat standard in the 3rd Strike community in hardcoreness). Parrying, btw, is hitting forward on the joystick the very instant a hit connects, and you take no chip damage and actually build up some of your super meter. Chun's super hits 17 times, I believe, so Daigo hit forward on the joystick 17 times in a row, all within 0.03 seconds of the "perfect" time (I believe), and then linked to his super to end the match.

Justin is an amazing player, of course... but he's no match for many of the Japanese players. And Daigo showed it there."

Go figure. Japanese players are insanely good at games. Still awesome to watch though.

I remember after watching me play Fzero GX, my friend said "Holy crap! You're like Japanese good!"

That was silly. So, so silly. Kinda reminds me of the time I beat my friend with HK -> Shoryureppa, which, though nowhere near this, was still incredibly sweet. Good times...

Woot, I guessed it was from SF3 before "parry" came up.

Omg he threw the other player. Cheapass.

one of my friends was actually there, and he said that wasn't nearly the most amazing moment. Some kind of similar situation, but there was a fireball coming in at the same time, so he had to go between blocking each hit of the fireball and parrying each hit of the super. Something like that.

I had a friend who would call me a throw queen every time I threw him in Tekken. I told him if he thought it was so cheap, he should just not give me the chance. Then he proceeded to kick my ass in the game for about 6 rounds. I probably shouldn't have said anything.

Yeah... I had to watch it a few times to let it all soak in... that was insane.

Un. Believable. This is almost on par with the SM3 Time Attack. Although no single thing that the SM3 guy did was as insane as what Daigo pulled off, the SM3 guy did his stuff for much, much longer without a slip. The Tetris video still beats both of them, however.

Man, I was in Dallas one time, you would not believe these two guys. I mean, both had two legs, but they were going faster than anything I have ever seen in my life. At one point that laid down on their backs and did it that way. Amazing.

You DO realize that the Super Mario 3 run was fake... right? It was recorded at about 1/20th speed, using thousands of save states. The guy who made it admits all this. He just made it for entertainment purposes.

Oh, wow, that's news to me. That's odd, because it looks like something that might actually be doable given some hard-core gaming stunts we see. Was the Tetris video real?

Depends on the video. I've seen a fake Tetris vid and two real ones... if it's the NES tetris, starting on max height and max speed, and it has scanlines, then it's probably the fake one.

Just a FYI, while the one that everyone saw first was a fake, someone actually DID an 11 min SMB3 run (on the console, at that!). http://www.planetquake.com/sda/other/mario3.html is the SMB3 page on SDA.

edit: ...someone tell me what I'm doing wrong with the HTML. I'm not very good at it anyway, but using bbcode is getting to be quite annoying :(

He knows, but he wants to know why HTML won't work when there's an option to disable it. I can't work it out either. I tried setting up the page with

Code:

<html> and <body>

but nothing.

Only certain HTML tags work. I don't remember which ones they are, but I think <iframe> might be one of them.
