@@MegaCodgod99 You can find videos from jmcrofts or Justin Wong himself that explains it perfectly, but to try to sum it up: Daigo (Ken) had a pixel of Life left. Any hit would make him lose the round, and since each had won one round, it would make him lose this match. Any hit, even a blocked one, due to chip damage (you take much reduced damage when you block, but you still take damage. Super moves deal a lot of chip damage) So Justin used a super move that Daigo couldn't evade due to their position. Daigo couldn't block, because he'd die to the chip damage. Justin went in for the kill. Which lead him to parry Chun-Li's Super. Instead of holding back to block, in order to parry, you need to press forward on the controller, within 1 to 6 frames of the hit or something like that (around a tenth of a second). If you mess up the timing, you're gonna get the hit straight to your face, because you're pressing forward instead of back to block. It's extremely difficult to parry moves in general. Daigo parried every kick in Chun-Li's super. Each time pressing forward perfectly timed with each kick. Pausing in the middle of the sequence and continuing. Parrying the last move (an overhead) in the air *AND* doing his own combo into Super Art for the finish. In front of a lot of people. In the EVO's finals (largest fighting game tournament in the world). Daigo went on to lose the set. I believe he lost the tournament. It doesn't matter. He won many tournaments, Justin won many EVO's too, but what Daigo did was unheard of. Some say he even baited the Super, since he was throwing Hadoukens that allowed Justin to build up super meter. But one thing is for sure, Daigo was the protagonist in the FGC's most hype and famous moment.
1.- Daigo prepares the play fueling Justin’s power bar with a pair of Hadokens 2.- Daigo synchronizes movements with Chunli’s to get the correct direction when Justin’s starts his predictable super 3.- Daigo parries correctly the 17 hits, concentrating despite the crowd shouting and Justin mashing 4.- Daigo counter attacks with a winner combo Everything in this play is SUBLIME👌🏻
notice how he didnt used hadokens in the whole game, just in the second round because he knew that he was going to do the S.A. After parry the 15 hits he makes a combo that kill justing. This nigga got everything calculated god mf damn
2:43 this is still one of the most iconic moments in all of FGC history. Daigo's parry may have been impossible, but an insanely impressive feat in his career
One of the most, if not THE most, hypest moments in FGC history. Maybe even video game history in general. Several years later and it still never gets old. Always brings a smile to my face
Next year will mark 2 decades. This represents the kind of competition, hype and pure adrenaline in its most raw form, and we likely won't see anything quite like it again. I just wish I was in thar room. It's a moment that I believe if you asked anyone who was physically there, that nothing or nearly nothing has topped that experience.
Justin Wong kind of did. There's another shot of this video where you can see him mashing his stick like crazy. Maybe he was trying to mess up Daigo's timing, or maybe he was just mad.
daigo actually said that before going into this Evo, he intended this to be his last ever tournament. he was simply too poor to continue playing seriously and couldn't support himself.
@@dahgameps432 and how does just saying something make it a promise in the first place. i'm going to have an omelette for breakfast tomorrow but if i wake up and then decide to have toast instead i'm not breaking a fucking promise lol
@@WHAT_1400 exactly lol You could wake up and just not crave omelettes anymore. I can say im getting mcdonalds but say fuck it and go to wendys instead
The crowd getting loud with the first few parries and then getting louder when they realized Daigo was actually parrying the whole thing makes this so much more memorable.
This right here is the peak of competitive gaming, change my mind. Perfect execution. Down to the wire. High stakes. Only one option for both players. Pure hype throughout the entire room. No room for toxicity, only respect for what has just transpired.
Hrmm. Moment 37 absolutely defined competitive gaming but "the peak"? Nah, that's an exaggeration. What you're saying is that any and all other events in the FGC from EVO 2005 until now and in the forseeable future, whether you've seen them or not, are worse or not as good as moment 37. That is a claim no one can make because you can't know that, it's way too subjective. Do you know how many fights happen off camera? In casuals and in money matches? Or how many fights happened that you didn't see in games that you aren't interested in? Do you know how many amazing players exist that simply choose not to play competitively? Like I said, moment 37 was absolutely a defining moment for the FGC because it showed players something they may have not seen before en masse, but to say that the FGC peaked at moment 37 is a claim no one can make objectively.
This clip is about 18 years old and it’s still an insane clip to this day. The matter of fact that it was round 3 and Diago had to parry, and stay calm enough to preform a combo to win in a massive crowd is insane especially because parrying is a .2 second time window. He even taunted to tick off Justin enough so Justin would super then. What a set.
The taunts in SF3 had many different properties, such as power boost for the next attack, increasing defense, etc. In this case, Daigo was setting up. It’s possible people thought he was doing it on purpose instead of with a purpose, in that moment, which was why they hyped up Justin
This is what real victory looks like. One that has meaning. Against an incredibly strong opponent, one that would beat the living hell out of almost anybody else, in a seemingly hopeless situation with exactly zero room for error... and then pulling off what nobody had ever done before. This match rightfully holds its place in history, and both players deserve the highest praise.
You can hear someone yelling “LET TIME RUN OUT!” On one hand, if Justin listened he would have lived and won the match. On the other, this clip wouldn’t have existed.
Something similar happend in smash when ZeRo fought hbox in the first smash 4 tournament. the announcer said a minute left on the clock and he heard that and so he proceeded to camp and win the tournament.
This moment was etched in our memory forever, it is the most epic thing I have seen in a fighting game. I've seen it so many times and it's still too epic.
B for my alcoholic dad who beats me and my mom everyday when we used to live with him. I hate everyone equally except for my mom. I hate her the most because she decided to hit on me. On her own son. My brother left my family and I hate him too, but the truth is, I don't really blame him. Also, my grandma was useless.
Imagine pulling off one of the hypest maneuvers in all of fighting game history, creating a once in a lifetime moment that will be remembered and revered long after your death, and the game itself tells you, “Meh, solid B rank”.
I just can't watch enough this video, I really love to see it with more quality, this is so EPIC. Maybe there is nothing better than this fight on this competition.
I have no idea why i woke up this morning and this was on my mind i don't even play 3s, this is still a joy to watch has the same impact today as it did 18 years ago thank you...
Just for context: it took Maximillian, a professional fighting game streamer, *139 tries* in trial mode to get this sequence right even one time. Meanwhile, Daigo did it in *ONE SINGLE TRY,* under pressure, having Justin smashing on buttons and shaking the table next to him to try to fuck him up, the entire crowd rooting against him, having to perfectly anticipate and read the moment when/if Justin would throw out the super, and PERFECTLY TIME his stick movements with EVERY SINGLE HIT of the super, AND do the jump parry for the maximum damage punish. The sheer iconicness and talent in this moment legitimizes eSports for all times, I mean, seriously, how many people on Earth are even capable of this?
Jacob Hutchison professional entertainer, sure. Most games he plays he’s not good at though. He’s barely a tekken green rank, guilty gear BnBs are a struggle to him and he’s played a hell of a lot of street fighter yet he’s a bit above an average player at best. Not a pro gamer. He’s a real cool guy and TH-camr though.
This moment right here changed the fighting game landscape forever. This happened during a time where arcades where dying and the fighting game community was an uninteresting underground sport. Look at it today. Huge heavy kudos goes to these two men right here. Justin Wong and Daigo.
This is actually a lot harder then this looks. To get the first parry, he has to input it before the screen freeze. Justin knows this, so he's trying to throw off his timing. So he not only guessed right, he then pulled off the entire super parry, which is as hard as it looks, then does a pretty difficult air combo that's super easy to mess up, especially with all that pressure, to get the kill. There were like 30 different ways that he could've easily messed up. The fact he did it is a miracle.
I do agree with you on everything except that it is not a miracle, it is mothafuckin Daigo and its hours of practice, even a God couldn't help in that situation, yet he managed to pull through...
It's even harder still, he zones him to push him to make this move. It's not just guessing right, but actively setting up his opponent to do it in the first place, then guessing he'll throw the timing! Honestly, the zoning is almost as impressive!
@@Klamageddon I agree. The most impressive part is that he correctly hits the 10th of a second window before the screen flash. It looks like he's guessing, and while he is, he's using mind games to make his guess likely. Every part of this is impressive. The best part is that he's bluffing. He can't go in and fight him because he has a pixel of health, so Justin feels pressure by a non-existent threat.
People who haven't played this game don't know that Chun-Li's special move has a different number of hits based on the distance to the other character. So not only did he masterfully parry the whole combo, he also gauged the exact number of hits based on Chun-Li's distance. That's how much crazier this feat is...
And to add onto that, it actually hits a different amount of times depending on if you’re playing ryu, ken, akuma, or Sean, meaning daigo would have had to specifically prepare doing said parry with Ken
Man, the date this was posted it literally was winter break/the end of my 1st semester of my 10th grade year in high school at 15yrs old. What a time it was back then 🙏....
I can’t even imagine the amount of adrenaline that fight gave them. With that many people to bear witness as well. I love that capcom immortalized this moment as a playable training mission, right down to the final retaliation super combo.
This is literally the end of a movie. The protagonist have everything againsr him and at the last second, he somehow manage to overcome and almost as it was a miracle, he epicly achieves victory.
@@22espec The most memorable thing is that no one cares if Daigo lost in the finals, THE DAIGO PARRY it's in the history of esports, if I see a TOP 10 esports moments that not have THE DAIGO PARRY in first in just call the video bullshit and the whole world have the same sentiment.

17 years ago . We are getting old . And im still in Love with this Game . This was insane for me back then and its still for me one of the most iconic's things in my Life . I Love Streetfighter 2
As someone who never played this game or much of Street fighter, I always assumed it was a really cool clutch moment. I recently learned about the mechanics of the game and that particular Chun Li move. Now it's the most amazing thing I have ever seen in gaming
Absolutely my friend. Parrying that attack would probably take me 100 hours of straight practice on that game. And I'm an above average street fighter player lmao. Parrying a super that's a projectile is actually rather easy, but that's just different
@@LunarianQueen so in street fighter if you counter, which is to make the exact same attack as the opponent in the opposite direction, you negate all damage. Chunli's super attacks 15-17 times, depending on the game, in an extremely short window. We're talking in the sub 10 frames area of fast. Prior to this it was considered impossible to counter the full combo
In this game, you can press forward to parry an attack within a 10 frame window (~0.2 seconds) just before the attack lands, which negates all the damage. If he'd just blocked, the chip damage would've killed him, so he had to parry Chun li's super which has 15 individual hits that each have different timing, perfectly in order to survive.
pretty sure he jumped at the end when it was not mandatory to parry the last hot but to set up his combo afterward, taking a small risk for a big reward.

Once a year
This happened 19 years ago from today. Let that sink in.
I have no idea why i woke up this morning and this was on my mind
i don't even play 3s, this is still a joy to watch has the same impact today as it did 18 years ago
thank you...
Scientist: “Humans have 5 senses.”
Daigo: “Hold my Pringles.”
I am eating a pringles while reading this
Edit: I was
The real pringle was the friends we made along the way
@@Mike20321_ yes
Hold my fingers
Humans actually have way more than 5 senses. The 5 senses thing is just a cultural myth
Just for context: it took Maximillian, a professional fighting game streamer, *139 tries* in trial mode to get this sequence right even one time. Meanwhile, Daigo did it in *ONE SINGLE TRY,* under pressure, having Justin smashing on buttons and shaking the table next to him to try to fuck him up, the entire crowd rooting against him, having to perfectly anticipate and read the moment when/if Justin would throw out the super, and PERFECTLY TIME his stick movements with EVERY SINGLE HIT of the super, AND do the jump parry for the maximum damage punish. The sheer iconicness and talent in this moment legitimizes eSports for all times, I mean, seriously, how many people on Earth are even capable of this?
Calling Max a "Professional" is a stretch.
Lava Sharknado mate idk about you, but I’d call him a pro.
@@asmodeus235 Can't even do a BnB in Xrd. He's a hype man nothing more.
Jacob Hutchison professional entertainer, sure. Most games he plays he’s not good at though. He’s barely a tekken green rank, guilty gear BnBs are a struggle to him and he’s played a hell of a lot of street fighter yet he’s a bit above an average player at best. Not a pro gamer. He’s a real cool guy and TH-camr though.
Daigo said he pratice this parry quite alot
I remember seeing this video 1 year later, I have been a fan of competitive videogames ever since. Easily the greatest moment for competitive gaming
This moment right here changed the fighting game landscape forever. This happened during a time where arcades where dying and the fighting game community was an uninteresting underground sport. Look at it today. Huge heavy kudos goes to these two men right here. Justin Wong and Daigo.
2:39 this dude straight up had a flashback of his tragic past and the main theme song started to play
"no, i can't lose!"
Giorno theme
also he never successfully performed the special move during training but he has no choice but try it during a real fight
"I'm sorry master but i must go all out, just this once"
When the anime protagonist starts talking about friendship and the heroic version of the main theme starts playing
This is actually a lot harder then this looks. To get the first parry, he has to input it before the screen freeze. Justin knows this, so he's trying to throw off his timing. So he not only guessed right, he then pulled off the entire super parry, which is as hard as it looks, then does a pretty difficult air combo that's super easy to mess up, especially with all that pressure, to get the kill. There were like 30 different ways that he could've easily messed up. The fact he did it is a miracle.
I do agree with you on everything except that it is not a miracle, it is mothafuckin Daigo and its hours of practice, even a God couldn't help in that situation, yet he managed to pull through...
@@lasterman94100 the only god Daigo needed was himself
It's even harder still, he zones him to push him to make this move. It's not just guessing right, but actively setting up his opponent to do it in the first place, then guessing he'll throw the timing! Honestly, the zoning is almost as impressive!
@@Klamageddon I agree. The most impressive part is that he correctly hits the 10th of a second window before the screen flash. It looks like he's guessing, and while he is, he's using mind games to make his guess likely. Every part of this is impressive. The best part is that he's bluffing. He can't go in and fight him because he has a pixel of health, so Justin feels pressure by a non-existent threat.
Bro that sounded so complex that it makes the existence of the 4th dimension tame in comparison. What a fucking God...
People who haven't played this game don't know that Chun-Li's special move has a different number of hits based on the distance to the other character.
So not only did he masterfully parry the whole combo, he also gauged the exact number of hits based on Chun-Li's distance.
That's how much crazier this feat is...
And to add onto that, it actually hits a different amount of times depending on if you’re playing ryu, ken, akuma, or Sean, meaning daigo would have had to specifically prepare doing said parry with Ken
I wasn't looking for one of the greatest fights in history, it presented itself in my TH-cam home page lol
No matter how many times i see this, it never gets old. The energy in that room is so insane you can still feel it 17 years later
Yeah, thats what the guy with alot of likes said 9 months ago…
@@ShinzoUchihaX oh no, two people on the internet have the same opinion? What will we do?!
@@Luxorcist more like one person is cringe as fuck and wants to get fake likes by stealing other peoples shit. Clown

Daigo: *makes the greatest parry and come back of all time*
Street Fighter: Grade B
B for Beast
Frigidmoon
Or “Badass”.
B for bullshit
@@theemperor3672 jajaj jaj
Daigo: Am i a joke to you?
Man, the date this was posted it literally was winter break/the end of my 1st semester of my 10th grade year in high school at 15yrs old. What a time it was back then 🙏....
It’s 2023 and I am still impressed with the technical skills Daigo pulled off.
Truly a tale for the ages.
"What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge Chun-Li's kicks?"
"No Daigo, I'm telling you that when you're ready, you won't have to"
this comment right here proves that legends never die, matrix, street fighter and 2004 evo, what more can I ask for?
He is the one
Nice reference 👌
10/10
Lol
I can’t even imagine the amount of adrenaline that fight gave them. With that many people to bear witness as well. I love that capcom immortalized this moment as a playable training mission, right down to the final retaliation super combo.
the same amount in every final
In what game?
@@Yetiii23 3rd strike: online
Nah,for the japanese It was Just a normal daigo play
Imagine Justin's PTSD! Hahah! JK! Both LEGENDS!
It will be remembered for the next 100 years as the most incredible moment in esports history.
The moment that actually made me fall in love with this genre in 2022. As a beginner i cannot wait for sf6
2:14 the most pivotal moment of the fight. Look at the lifebars. To come back from that, and the way he did it, is nothing short of spectacular.
This literally the FGC Equal to Lebron coming back 3-1 against Golden State in 2016 Lol.
*And the Let’s Go justin! Is the same as Blocked by James!*
Ask ur mom for what the most pivotal moment for her was last night with me lmao
16 years ago… wow I’m getting old
2:43 Daigo: "Argh, Call an ambulance...
2:51 But not for me."
Underrated comment.
Justin: "AHHHHHHHH I NEED A MEDIC BAG!!!"
2023 y este momento sigue siendo el momento mas epico en el mundo de los video juegos
Even tho 2 decades passed, the energy in that room can still be felt until today
This is literally the end of a movie. The protagonist have everything againsr him and at the last second, he somehow manage to overcome and almost as it was a miracle, he epicly achieves victory.
Then you find out that it's a semifinal and he lost in the final.
He remembered his friends and suddenly that gave him power
@@22espec The most memorable thing is that no one cares if Daigo lost in the finals, THE DAIGO PARRY it's in the history of esports, if I see a TOP 10 esports moments that not have THE DAIGO PARRY in first in just call the video bullshit and the whole world have the same sentiment.
@@22espec he lost at the finals but won at life because i been know dis nigga ever since i was 5 years old and now im 21, i literally dont know any SF champion by name, only this nigga right here (tekken's better adjectively)
Karate Kid
This is still the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life
Novembre Pleut not many things come close
though he didnt win he did perform it again in 2014
Me too man, I haven't known this epic beattle it's was really amazing..
IT REALLY IS!
That is so sad...
ウメちゃんの白道着ケンがまた伝説を残したので来ました。
どの動画ですか？見てみたいです。教えてください。
17 years ago . We are getting old . And im still in Love with this Game . This was insane for me back then and its still for me one of the most iconic's things in my Life . I Love Streetfighter 2
Me:How many attacks can you parry?
Daigo:yes
MANY
All the yes
Hahahahahhaha
YES YES YES
Yes: Daigo
Here for my monthly fix
lol
+TheGeek327 me to
+TheGeek327 so true
same
+TheGeek327 I watch it every now and then for the same reason.
I need this fix@!
19年（EVO2004から）経っても同じ人が白ケンですごい逆境から逆転劇してんのほんとすごい
This is honestly pure gold
And must be preserved
As someone who never played this game or much of Street fighter, I always assumed it was a really cool clutch moment. I recently learned about the mechanics of the game and that particular Chun Li move. Now it's the most amazing thing I have ever seen in gaming
Absolutely my friend. Parrying that attack would probably take me 100 hours of straight practice on that game. And I'm an above average street fighter player lmao. Parrying a super that's a projectile is actually rather easy, but that's just different
th-cam.com/video/rjR3fEVY95s/w-d-xo.html
I am not familiar with this game mechanics. Can you explain or send a video that explain it complexity? ty!
@@LunarianQueen so in street fighter if you counter, which is to make the exact same attack as the opponent in the opposite direction, you negate all damage.
Chunli's super attacks 15-17 times, depending on the game, in an extremely short window. We're talking in the sub 10 frames area of fast. Prior to this it was considered impossible to counter the full combo
@@LunarianQueen here's a good video explaining it better th-cam.com/video/4cNCa8PylLA/w-d-xo.html
Just remember this when you think everything is lost
Oh shit, a Paul McCartney profile pic
100% 🔥🔥🔥
Nunca me esquecerei dessa lenda, pqp isso foi perfeito!.
My god, this moment still bring tears.
Winner Grade: B
Biggest lie ever told in a game
I mean a B against Justin is pretty fucking good
B for Badass I guess
In this kind of match where both players are very good its very common to get as final note: D, C or B.
It's not a lie. It's a lesson--grades aren't always a true reflection of someone's ability.
B is pretty decent for Japanese grading system
In this game, you can press forward to parry an attack within a 10 frame window (~0.2 seconds) just before the attack lands, which negates all the damage. If he'd just blocked, the chip damage would've killed him, so he had to parry Chun li's super which has 15 individual hits that each have different timing, perfectly in order to survive.
Chun Li's super has 17 individual hits :)
Thank you for your explanation
well obviously
pretty sure he jumped at the end when it was not mandatory to parry the last hot but to set up his combo afterward, taking a small risk for a big reward.
And then he had to land a combo.
I've been watching this clip for five years
I still cheer every time
The people jumping up and clapping in this version is just cinematic as all hell.
