To clarify, the entire match between Justin Wong and Daigo Umehara (Daigo is one of the better 3rd Strike players in Japan... and an average 3rd player in Japan can compete with most of the better American players) has better buildup than the infamous Evo clip. Justin Wong is infamous for "turtling" with chun li, who has ridiculous range and priority in 3rd Strike. She can stay away and poke really well and build her super meter. Her Super Art 3 (which is parried in this match) does stupid amounts of damage and it doesn't take long to get the meter for it. Chun Li, Ken, and Yun are the 3 best characters in the game.

So, Justin is playing his usual style of running away and poking (you hear someone say "LET TIME RUN OUT JUSTIIIN") and he decides to showboat with the ridiculously damaging super.

Daigo then proceeds to parry (3rd Strike runs at 60 frames of animation per second, and many of the chances to parry are [frames are different for each move] under 6 frames (which means 1/10 of a second or less) the entire super and counters it with Ken's ridiculously powerful super.

to be fair, justin could have easily just continued to camp and won (he wins the next match but loses the best of xx games set) and being able to parry supers is sort of expected of good 3rd Strike players. However, the circumstances in which it happened make it a truly memorable and incredible comeback.

also, number 8 is Pop n' Music.

I'm glad that this article doesn't poke fun at the gamers who take the time to accumulate skill through practice and play.

That Street Fighter video literally gives me goosebumps every time I see it. The impossibility of the situation, the pressure, the sheer skill in tech cancelling every single hit of that Super... absolutely amazing.

i remember the first time i saw that sf clip....i think i jizzed in my pants a little. daigo is a beast. and im not sure how someone could play ikaruga like that without suffering some sort of aneurysm or brain explodulation. i wont even get into the others

and @Patius
dont shake the ikaruga guy's hand. im pretty sure thats how he gets his brain powers. that or your hand will disintegrate

How cool was that Portal game!!! He did it so fast that I didn't know what he was doing!!!!

Oops: To quote the description of the Portal video:
"EDIT (11/29/07):
It has been over a month and now I think it is time for everyone to know the truth. This was a total FAKE. I had to do some trickery to pull this off. I will not reveal all my secrets but I will tell you the basics. I enabled sv_cheats. When someone does this there will be a big red "CHEATED" on elevator score board at the end. To remove the "CHEATED" sign, I had to "hack" one of the game files and removed the entry that refers to the message. Now when I cheat and reach the end, there is no cheated sign. Having that fixed, I set host_timescale to 0.1. This makes the game run 10 times slower than normal. I recorded a demo of me playing the map with all my best tricks. It took me almost 5 minutes!! I then played back the demo at full speed, recorded the video, and posted on the YouTubes.
I couldn't help myself from posting this video. I knew the reactions would be just way too good. Well, I've had a lot of laughs, but I think it is only fair that everyone now knows the truth. I wasn't a cheater from the start. At one time the record for chamber 18 was 59 seconds. After hours and hours over several days I finally beat it with 58 seconds. When I went to post the video, I found that someone posted a 57 second run just a few hours earlier. That's what led me to it. I'm sure there are plenty of people that would like to send me hate mail and I will not deny them that privilege. My e-mail: QBikal@gmail.com "
