what a geek fest
man, who is that girl in your sig? she is so damn hot!
Okay, you guys who think this is a geekfest are bloody stupid and obviously know nothing about the game itself.That video is taken from a professional beat'em up computer game competition held annually in america. This video is FAMOUS because he is NOT, let me repeat NOT blocking. He is parrying.Parrying: Perform a dodge move by pushing the direction button towards the opponent at the exact moment of opponent attack. This absorbs the attack, without you losing health (unlike a block which you lose small amounts of health per attack you block), it also pauses time for a couple milliseconds allowing you to counter attack.So if you've ever played any streetfighter games, or any 2d scrolling beat'em up games, imagine rather than blocking, you can try to tap forward JUST as the opponent's attack reaches your body.If you dont time this right, you'll obviously get a punch in the face and lose health, if its successful, than time briefly freezes, creating a window where you can make a counter attack.In the video above, its a 1 round a piece tie. Ken (Daigo) has hardly any health, so Chun Li (the other player) decides to use a super on his opponent, thinking that he can only block (but blocking causes a player to lose health). If Ken had blocked the super, he would have died. His only other option is to parry. But to parry a super is bloody hard, the attacks are so fast and to get that timing right is just crazy.So guys.....i hope even though you dont like the game, you can accept the fact that there is lots of skill in this game, and its not as simple as it looks.
I've seen that before. The crowd reaction was hilarious. I bet that shit was life changing for them.
