[@senorpsycho9016]

I was even more impressed when I read this so you should read it too. I once saw someone that describe the seconds leading up to the moment, so I’m just gonna paraphrase it here: Effectively, Daigo was playing risky, but he knew he could parry the super since he had done it earlier in the day in practice. There’s someone in the crowd yelling “don’t do it” because he had seen it before and knew how inconsistent it was. Chun li actually didn’t have enough meter to do her super, so daigo threw out a couple fireballs that were easy to parry so Justin could get the meter needed to super. That’s not playing a game. That’s playing the player

[@xColinMalarkeyx]

I’ve been in some CoD tournaments in the past and the pressure is real. As someone who deals with anxiety etc it really sucks sometimes. So, I don’t know Daigo’s personality etc but if that were me in his position the endorphin rush would’ve sent me thru the stratosphere. Hearing the crowd roaring like that. Damn

[@nadiamoreno4505]

I believe this is probably one of the things he was best at. But they hardly have the chance to display such thing because the fighting style on these tournaments is tricky and people tend to do repetitive things in order to corner the rival. I bet he was used to parry these moves. Not taking any credit from the moment because it was THE moment to do it. And playing under pressure (as you said) is brutal. But I don´t think that was his first time doing this or something too "uncommon" for him. Yes in public maybe. But not his first or one of his firsts times doing it.

[@jo54763]

@@nadiamoreno4505 But that's the point. Daigo was just that good and that ready to do this difficult task when he needed to the most, and he did it flawlessly... mostly because he grinded his ass off becoming one of the best. He practiced it plenty for damn sure, but this is the culmination of his parry training for this specific fight, and it pays off. Legendary.

[@PaddyRoon7]

I've watched this literally hundreds of times in my life, but something just occurred to me. Was Daigo trying to create this exact situation by throwing those two fireballs, hoping Justin would parry to gain the meter to super? As soon as Justin had enough meter, Daigo threw no more fireballs, he was just dancing in time with Chun-Li, likely because he anticipated the super and you need to be inputting forward before the super comes out in order to successfully parry the first hit. If so, then I am even more completely mindblown than ever, which I thought was impossible.

[@mithril5155]

Daigo indeed practiced to parry that attack, and yes, he probably was baiting Justin into doing the Special, considering as soon as he tried another attack, it'd come out and be his end.

[@baltharaaz9847]

​@brendanlist4811 It's at a cadence, so it's something that can be reliably trained. What _can't be,_ however, was the read. Chun Li's (Justin Wong) attack here is a super move that is "0 frames startup post flash." What this means is that after the super flash (the screen freeze) starts, Ken (Daigo) cannot take any action. So, in order to parry the first hit, he needed to predict Justin's super and input forward *before* the super.

[@Truth_Hurts_Bad]

​@@baltharaaz9847 Wrong. You can parry after the flash, as she moves forward. It probably has some invincibility frames, but definitely not 0 startup.

Actually Jan M is correct, he could have stayed on the ground to parry the final high kick in chun-li's super but he chose to jump parry so he could execute his super from a jump kick which gives justin no time to parry or even just soak the chip damage from a guard

From a video that I saw, Justin was told not to use Chun Li's super because Daigo was seen practicing this parry before the match.
