Speaking of Street Fighter...

I still can't believe this actually happened. Anyone who is into Street Fighter has to have seen this at least once, and marvel at how impossible this is to do, especially considering the setting.

I have totally seen that before. Holy crap.

Maximum Spider · 05-17-2008, 09:03 PM

Jesus that's amazing....

15 parries. 15 effing parries.

I was always skeptical towards Street Fighter IV (mostly because the gameplay is already as polished as it can get in SF III: Third Strike, IMO), but even moreso now that I found out Capcom is taking out the parry system. That's really what separates the men from the boys.

I'm still interested in IV, but I'd have to be really wowed by this "focus" attack thingy they plan on putting in.

Wow....that was amazing.

Kevrosini · 07-28-2008, 08:12 PM

SML I must say that's impressive, no, even more so, utterly spectacular. I admit I'm not the biggest Street Fighter fan but to achieve 15 parries like that must I'd imagine, take tremendous amounts of skill, old bean.

I didn't realise he had to parry multiple times - i thought it was just at the beginning of the combo.
Wow.

[Yeah, you have to have exact timing for each hit in the combo...I'm able to do that in training mode about 3 out of 10 times, when I know the attack is coming, but I can't imagine doing that in a tournament match, with that many people watching, and his health basically being at 0. He HAD to parry, which is the cool part. ~SML]

That was F*ckin awesome!

no idea why this was bumped, but another guy did the exact same thing to the same guy at a recent tournament. (By recent I like five days ago or less)

Swordmaster Link · 07-31-2008, 10:25 AM

o rly? video?

REALITY = LIBERAL BIAS · 07-31-2008, 01:47 PM

Ok, maybe i have an impaired memory, its not the exact same thing (he dosn't air parry the last hit for instance, and hes Yun instead of Ken)

This however, easily ranks up with the Daigo stunt:

And that wasn't Daigo. Poor Justin, having that happen to you multiple times in front of so many people.

Oh, and I've seen other videos of that Hugo player, he's really good.

I didn't know I sucked so much at Street Fighter until now.

Swordmaster Link · 08-05-2008, 08:39 AM

Well, those guys are really good, so you could still be decent.
