Sick Street Fighter III Tourney footage (oldie but goodie)

street fighter 2 daigoWe love this stuff. In the clip that follows, gamer Daigo playing as Ken is up against the ropes against Chun Li in the final round of a Street Fighter III tournament at the Evolution 2004 fighting game tournament. Ken is dropped to zero remaining health when his opponent pulls a super combo move on him. This normally means sure death, but instead, Daigo parries every last one of the 15-blow barrage, then promptly takes Chun Li out.

And of course … The! Crowd! Goes! Wild!

You'd have to have played SFII to really appreciate this demonstration of extreme reflexes and gaming performance, but this ranks up there with some of the other virtuoso moments we've featured in the past (DDR, Ikaruga).

(Update: corrected SFII to SFIII)
