God Save These Memes - MEMELOAF

[@SumitoMedia]

*Notes* - Daigo Umehara would win this match but go on to lose the grand final against Kenji Obata - Street Fighter 3rd Strike runs at 60fps however the window to parry is about 6 frames on the ground, not 1 frame as I stated in the video. You have about a 1/10 of a second to react to each one of those kicks as opposed to 1/60th, which is a really big difference - Justin Wong is Canadian not American, not really sure how I missed that detail I'm guessing one of the 5 articles I read about that evo tourney claimed he was American either meaning "from the NA region" or simply "not Japanese" as is the case in a lot of esports. - Even before the dancing for spacing before the super you can see Daigo throw two hadoukens giving Justin Wong a easy ability to block/parry to give him just enough super bar to use the Houyoku Sen, meaning Daigo was baiting out this super usage for exactly this counter play - Justin Wong would go on to say later in an interview that the thought of Daigo perfect countering that super didn't even cross his mind, he absolutely thought he had won the second he threw out the Houyoku Sen Super Art - The original video named "Evo Moment #37" has no significance, and was named "moment 37" simply to make viewers think there were 36 other equally hype moments like this at the events. - 10 years after this moment Daigo and Wong would come together to compete in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of this moment and play the same characters. Wong would once again use the Houyoku Sen and Daigo would once again perfect parry the move, however would end up losing due to Justin still having enough health to finish him off this time. - In Street Fighter 5 Chun-Li's Critical Art Houyoku Sen is a 37 hit combination, in reference to Evo Moment 37.

The best part about Justin submitting that moment as one of the greatest moments in his life is JUSTIN IS THE ONE GETTING DESTROYED in that clip.

I don't think 'Getting destroyed' is accurate. It is two players playing absolutely perfect, but one had to lose. The moment he launched this ultimate, there was nothing else he could do.

[@dustinmorrison6315]

Never heard of the Daigo parry before. Fckin awesome. Speedrunners rule out TAS strategies that have more than one frame-perfect input. Especially near the end of a run. Imagine being at the end of a tournament. Absolutely beautiful art.

[@_Jay_Maker_]

Something nobody remembers: Daigo lost. Justin Wong (the Chun Li player getting parried) has been reliving that parry for literal years. People show up on his stream just to try to do it to him and it's hilarious every time.

[@MLGCaptainVirgil]

Just to be clear, parries in Third Strike have a 10 frame window, not 1. Not to discount the difficulty of the Daigo parry, but just to say that it's difficult for other reasons.

[@bane2201]

I just learned about Moment 37, that's insane. _Another_ crazy thing about it, according to some KZbin comments, is that (it's very likely) _Daigo was baiting Justin into supering._ The theory: Justin wasn't able to super, so Daigo threw out 2 fireballs hoping Justin would parry them. As Daigo predicted, Justin _did_ parry them and charged his super, which is why Daigo stopped throwing fireballs and started making sure he was in position to parry. So Daigo didn't JUST play the game, he played the player. Man, what an absolutely wild clip. Thanks for showing me.

[@SumitoMedia]

I read that comment and thought they meant daigo was charging his super as a bait and didn't understand, him purposefully charging up Justin's super just for the parry is insane

[@OWnIshiiTrolling]

On top of that, I read that daigo didn't have to parry the high kick to live the super, but to ensure that the animation prevents justing from parrying daigo's super. By parrying the high kick, daigo made sure that justin's user input could no longer affect the outcome. Effectively, justin starting the super was the last thing he did that influenced the game.

[@swaggerdagger8976]

Hey Sumito. Just wanna let you know that the first time I saw this video, and how passionately you explained the Justin Wong clip... I knew that if I was having a real bad time, this could bring me out of it. Goddamn dude, you really helped today. Thanks, king.

I don't need BBC News, this is where I get all my information from. I believe in the SumitoMedia supremacy. Thanks to you I passed my A-Levels!!

Sick as hell over here, and your first joke about queen bees sent me into a laugh fueled coughing fit. Well worth it.

[@Undercoversteve96]

I just want the Halloween card to say “meme”. I hope to not be disappointed

[@TheBobblefighter]

You didn't even mention that Daigo studied how to parry the Chun-Li super with both visual and audio cues, and halfway through the combo he lost the ability to hear the game due to the crowd popping off, forcing him to rely on visual and muscle memory to correctly hit the parries on the second half of the super. Watching that clip is always a treat.

[@teebobaggins]

That street fighter clip makes my pants feel funny. It isn't every day you witness supernatural abilities, and godlike greatness.

[@berntkernals6285]

I knew about moment 37 beforehand, but the nuances you brought up make it insanely more impressive. For Daigo to have the composure to not parry the eighth kick in each volley feels like it should be impossible. Dude's a robot.

[@wastelandvagrant251]

My Grandfathers grandparents (my great-great grandparents) lived through the potato famine and moved to Canada to join their siblings afterwards. Then they lived through extreme discrimination in Canada ‘cause Irish. My grandfather wrote a couple of papers on it when he was getting a social studies degree after retiring from the military. It was pretty neat to see his reaction to the queen dying versus my grandmothers (her family is from Engerland).

[@equidistanthoneyjoy7600]

That dude's statement about being a "lifelong" gamer, but not having any memories of gaming in the top 100 greatest moments of your life; what kind of lifelong gamer doesn't have a formative childhood memory of a game they played? For me, my two biggest ones are in the same series. The end credits of Medievil 1 and its sequel. The ending of both of the games has the main character accept death and lie down inside their tomb, and right afterwards the credits roll and this gentle, ethereal music plays. Me, as a little kid, feeling all these different emotions, the happiness at winning, the sadness at his death, the sense that it's what he wants. All that bittersweetness, it was the first time I ever felt it, and even now listening to that music it puts a feeling in me I can't fully express. Nausea, tears, release, finality; both sad and glad that it's over. Oblivion, the first open world RPG I ever played, I still have all these clear memories of wandering through a world that looked like it was an oil painting, seeing deer run at my approach, just finding things and being amazed at all of it. Even more recently, Dragon's Dogma and the fucking awesome fight against Grigori contrasted against the gentle singing in the main menu, Doom 2016 and Eternal making my heart do the hokey-pokey in my chest and making me feel alive, Walter Machado releasing what feels like a playable music video, Warframe making me cry during the Second Dream and Sacrifice, just the entirety of Metal Gear Rising. If he really is a lifelong gamer and he doesn't have a _single_ memory of gaming that's important to him, then he should consider getting some fucking taste.

my personal gaming art moment: beating Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on Proud Mode without dying a single time. Every time I died I restarted the save file (for context, KHFMPR is pretty much accepted to be the hardest Kingdom Hearts experience, as the difficulty was overhauled to be harder in the Final Mix, and Proud Mode is the hardest difficulty of that particular game), and when I finally completed it I felt so proud it was nuts

7:40 because she had a good life way above her species' average lifespan and passed away in a nice place supervised and attended by top-notch doctors while that turtle most likely only lived a fraction of its lifespan in less than comfortable conditions and was then killed (quick google search suggests boiling alive is rather common) to be eaten.

One more thing to add to Moment 37, is it was later discovered that the final air parry was completely unnecessary. You can just jump forward before the high kick, completely dodging it, giving you time to do a much better punish than if you had actually parried the final hit. So looking back at moment 37 with modern insight, NOT ONLY does everything you mentioned apply, but technically speaking, Daigo STYLED ON JUSTIN BY MAKING HIS PUNISH UNNECESSARILY MORE DIFFICULT! Daigo is a fucking legend
