He did a red parry to gigas.

RED PARRY TO GIGAS.

In the middle of a match with a very good player. I've never seen that.

you need to watch more 3S then

[ai2006b]

I watched every single videos from TheShend, more videos here and there and looked at loads of people play.

That doesn't exactly apply to me. I might have missed some occasion of "red parry to gigas" but its rare, and at pro level its even more impressive no matter what.

hayao does it when he and kuroda were in the finals of sbo 4..or 5...whichever

[JavitsArias]

then you need to watch some videos of Hayao and YSB, they red parry gigas all the time.

I thought Matei was decent, showed a lot of potential at clutch times...but didn't mix it up enough, or moonsault enough.

He does look a lot better than YSB, whose popularity as Hugo I've never understood. Hate to be such a fanboy, but where is Hayao these days?

[jlysvoll]

YSB is often in these ranking battle videos, that only show games from top 8 and up. For a hugo to be this often top 8 in japan demands respect

[onreload]

you make a very good point...but i think he's gotten a bit worse in recent times. and let's not forget the power of low-tier and the challenges in predictability it poses to people who are used to playing mid/upper/top tier characters

[Flowend]

Wow, I had never even heard of Matei until now.

Great Hugo.
