This was seriously amazing. Maybe it's me, but I see a lot of Fighting in the Age of Loneliness in the way this video was structured. But I think no one has been able to present so well why that particular moment at Evo was so magical. Thank you Curly Brace ^^
I first saw this a few months ago. Once in a while, I come back to it. I don't play fighting games. I can't, with these wrists, so I didn't fully understand Third Strike except the barest essentials of how parrying works. I didn't understand the micro spacing Daigo needed to do right beforehand, or anything else like that. When the weight of what you explained finally hit me, years after I'd first seen EVO Moment #37, at 18:40. . . It hit. Hard. It's hard to put into words the feeling I felt, and still do, thinking about it, then learning Daigo did not go on to win the event. The weight of the title statement, everything-- I'll admit, you got me. I got misty-eyed, too. I can't remember if a video essay has ever made me feel something so visceral and human before. Thank you.
Gaaah! I wish this was a more popular video, I wanted to reference it and it was like hell trying to find this again. This is too good to fall into obscurity
Wow..... This is absolutely incredible. I have no words to describe how much I loved this. Thank you for making this. What made it so much better was that I could feel in your voice, how much this meant to you and I feel the same way towards both this video and Daigo’s parry. It’s a shame that this didn’t get picked up by the TH-cam algorithm and more people couldn’t see this. Once again, Thanks a lot. Also, Merry Christmas and A Happy new year. Hope you are doing good.
I love your essays, I think they count among the best structured content discussing videogames on this platform, and I'd been patiently waiting for the next one. Thanks.
Also should be noted that between the first 7 and next 7, Justin realizes wtf is going on and desperately mashes as loud as possible in order to throw off Daigo's timing. Failing to do so.
Thank you so much for making this video. By a stroke of luck I had already seen Evo Moment #37 and I thought it was absolutely amazing, but your breakdown of the whole thing; the genius strategy, the mentality of the crowd, and the mentality of Daigo and Justin in that moment just adds exponents to this insane moment in time. I’ve never played Street Fighter before, but I’ve been trying to get back into video games and I wanna play this series, see if I can get really good at it. It’s almost like the martial arts I practice and the spars I’ve been in, but the speed and eye hand coordination just seem to make the quick thinking and rushing blood of real life martial arts all that more exciting and amazing. Martial arts and fighting really is about living all you can, taking that one chance every single time, and risking it all on one thing just because that one thing means so much to you. Subbed and liked, your passion and knowledge and breakdown in this video is awesome, I wanna see more of it :) If you don’t mind, do you have any recommendations for Street Fighter games I should start out with and characters in it I should try out and practice with? :)
Glad to see you're still alive. Hope you can accommodate video making in your new lifestyle cuz, ya know, to say your videos are among the most deeply moving experiences one can have on this platform would be an understatement so, yeah, I kinda like 'em. ^^b Cheers!
Hey, I've seen your video a couple months ago, I wanted to watch it today again, but by typing "evo moment 37 analysis" TH-cam search didn't find it! Thankfully I had it saved, I thought I would let you know!
Fantastic video! Only criticism isn't with most of the video itself and more of a technical aspect- audio mixing At the very least on my end your voice was _much_ quieter than the music, and it led to the music blasting out our eardrums as we had the video loud enough so we could hear you. That said, worth it :)
This video is arguably the best recounting and analysis I've seen so far of EVO Moment #37. 13:32 I must confess I hadn't noticed Daigo was preemptively pressing forward in order to pre-parry Justin's Super Art. Good catch!
@@sage2050 Yes, I know that's necessary, but I used to think that was only required at point blank range -at least that's where I've managed to pull it off the few times I did it-, not across the screen.
You know the sad thing is that even if I show it to people unfamiliar with FGs they won't understand how great this play is. You only start feelign how great this is when you try to do it yourself.
This channel is probably my favorite TH-cam channel. A long while back, someone linked to your Ape Escape video in a game dev discord chat. I've been a fan since then. Good luck on balancing life, work, and this. I hope you manage to make this work, though, because I love it. .... Also, you want $10 a month? Because I'm down to... what's the best word here?... pay you $10 a month. I know it isn't much. We can do it via some means where the middleman doesn't get some of the money. Also, slight criticism: I found myself having to shuffle the volume up and down during this video.
Bois would be proud. Great vid, Curly.
Strong agree. Big fan of Bois, Geller, and now - Curly.

What a criminally underrated, underexposed video. Astounding introduction to the players and breakdown. Thank you.
Fantastic video! I had no idea the parry had to start before the attack started. I've gained a whole new appreciation for this.
Gaaah! I wish this was a more popular video, I wanted to reference it and it was like hell trying to find this again. This is too good to fall into obscurity
yeah unfortunately it's on youtube
This is one of the best FGC history videos I've ever seen. Your edit and narration are absolutely on point.
This is absolutely phenomenal, great work!

Still among the best video game documentaries ever. Absolutely brilliant.
I’ve rewatched this many times now and it always tears me up. It reminds me again why I love fighting games and it fires me up to keep on the journey
I love your essays, I think they count among the best structured content discussing videogames on this platform, and I'd been patiently waiting for the next one. Thanks.
Amazing video keeping up the fantastic work
YOOO THE TRANSITION WITH THE JUMP PARRY WHAT A FKIN MASTERPIECE
Jesus christ this video is incredible. Writing, editing, pacing. All of it, just *chefs kiss*
Also should be noted that between the first 7 and next 7, Justin realizes wtf is going on and desperately mashes as loud as possible in order to throw off Daigo's timing.
Failing to do so.
HOLLT SHIT, i spend two years trying to find this video again praise be
This might have been the best explanation of this pinnacle of fighting game clips. Thank you for making this : )
Hey it's probably one of the greatest video i have ever seen, thank you it's an amazing work

Welcome back, love your content!
I come back to this masterpiece often.. Its hard to find youtube videos this good man.
Watched this, and came back a week or so later to watch it again. 15:51 is that good.
The writing for this video is gorgeous.
thank you, so much
Great video! Love the frame by frame breakdown.
fucking INCREDIBLE video, holy shit. got chills at several points during the vid

Whenever I feel myself flagging, I come back here now for the hype to keep me going.
Have you been watching Jon Bois videos? That frame-by-frame breakdown is Pretty Good.
This video is arguably the best recounting and analysis I've seen so far of EVO Moment #37.
13:32 I must confess I hadn't noticed Daigo was preemptively pressing forward in order to pre-parry Justin's Super Art. Good catch!
You HAVE to in order to parry chuns super. If you aren't parrying before the flash, it's impossible to parry it.
@@sage2050 Yes, I know that's necessary, but I used to think that was only required at point blank range -at least that's where I've managed to pull it off the few times I did it-, not across the screen.
Amazing. I loved every second.
WOW!
Watched this twice now, outstanding, also reminded me of fighting in the age of loneliness
This is pure poetry
You know the sad thing is that even if I show it to people unfamiliar with FGs they won't understand how great this play is. You only start feelign how great this is when you try to do it yourself.
I really liked this video.

A TH-cam Masterwork right here!!! Incredible video

Don't they call Alex Valle Mr. Streetfighter tough?
Yeah. Not sure why he called Daigo Mr. Street Fighter. Probably a mistake on his part.
I liked it.
you turned "it was tight" into a thousand word essay. joking aside good vid!
Where are the uploads
I thought someone else was called the 2D god of japan?
peak
A classless evo society

The Downvote is Justin Wong
Mr. Street Fighter is Alex Valle.
G7GA7 FANS!
