LIKE AND COMMENT IF YOU WATCHED THAT MATCH!!! Moment 37|Reloaded: Pomona, California 2014. This tournament celebrated the 10th anniversary of the legendary EVO moment #37. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Evo Moment #37", or the "Daigo Parry", refers to a portion of a Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike semifinal match held at Evolution Championship Series 2004 (Evo 2004) between Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong. During this match, Umehara made an unexpected comeback by parrying 15 consecutive hits of Wong's "Super Art" move while having only one pixel of vitality. Umehara subsequently won the match, though he went on to lose the Grand Final against Kenji "KO" Obata. Evo Moment #37 is frequently described as the most iconic moment in competitive video gaming, having influenced the fighting game community strongly. The Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike finals of Evo 2004 took place at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, California on August 1.[1] Daigo "The Beast" Umehara and Justin Wong, two of the best Street Fighter players at the time, had never played against one another until that point.[2] Despite this, the two were already known for having a supposed rivalry with each other due to their differences in gaming philosophies.[3][4] Street Fighter was the only game to still be played on traditional arcade cabinets at this Evo, all other games being played on home consoles. Umehara and Wong met one another in the loser's finals of the tournament. Here, Umehara opted to play using Ken, while Wong picked Chun-Li. In the final round of match 1, Umehara got off to a weak start as Wong was playing conservatively, slowly chipping away on Umehara's life bar. Rolling Stone described Wong's behavior during this match as "the antithesis of Umehara's aggressive approach" and stated that video of the match shows that Wong's "turtling" was effective in "getting under his [Umehara's] skin." Match commentator and Capcom employee Seth Killian commentated that "this is rare footage of Daigo actually angry ... Justin's turtle-style now on the verge of putting Daigo down." Umehara's Ken was down to his last pixel of vitality. With 26 seconds remaining, Wong had the option to run out the clock, but he was eager to end the match. At this point, any special attack would knock Umehara's character out if connected, since special attacks deal a slight damage even when blocked. To win the round, Wong attempted to hit Umehara's Ken with Chun-Li's multihit Super Art move. However, instead of avoiding it, Umehara chose to "Parry," a high-risk/high-reward technique whereby an incoming attack is blocked without the player losing any health, but doing so requires moving toward opponent's direction in the same time a hit lands,[6] within four of thirty frames of the impact animation – about seven one hundredths of a second. Umehara had to predict when his opponent would start his Super Art Move, essentially making the first parry before the move even started.[5] Once the move was launched, Umehara parried all 15 hits and went on to counter a final kick of Chun-Li in mid-air before launching a 12-hit combo and winning the match.
