EVO2K4 Competition Shows Off Crazed Street Fighter Skills

Posted by simoniker on Friday August 6, 2004 @12:06AM from the damn dept.

Thanks to Shoryuken.com for its new post discussing one of the highlights of the recent EVO2K4 fighting game tournament, in the form of "a video of the amazing ending to the Daigo [Umehara] vs. Justin Wong match of the Evolution [Street Fighter 3] Third Strike finals." The video shows in-game footage and crowd reaction to Daigo's nearly dead character "parrying each hit [of a super] individually... then going for a jump in combo." Elsewhere, the brief game-by-game results of the popular multi-title tournament are posted on the official EVO2K4 site.

no he didn't block...if he had just blocked he would have taken some small damage which at high life would have killed him...

He "parry'd" taking no damage and it HAS to be SPOT on. Every single one of those parries had to be perfect or he have died.
