@escruzive what's wrong with another website giving a video more traffic? If anything, it benefits the original poster.

I don't get this though, I've played street fighter before. But all I do is spam and all....

@Vercsase

Cool! Thank you for explaining, I didn't know about this new feature

@calogeroaiello Capcom has even gone to the effort of memorializing it in a Parry Trial for the recently released SF3: Third Strike Online Edition and used it again in similar fashion in a recent trailer for Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3's "Heroes vs Heralds" DLC. While Capcom seems to be milking it more often nowadays, this moment is easily the most recognizable moment in fighting game/tournament history.

@calogeroaiello Daigo (Ken) blocked Justin Wong's (Chun-Li) kicks with parrying, which negates damage. To parry in SF3, you need to press forward instead of the traditional holding backwards to normally block. You can't hold forward to parry, however: the timing of each parry has to precisely match the incoming attacks. To pull this off under the pressure of a sliver of remaining health, Chun-li's rapid kicks, and a tense tournament setting is nothing short of breathtaking.
