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.

Nerd.

[UKnowWhatItIs: welcome to my traps....game over]

^So everyone who plays games & becomes good at it is a nerd??? Ahh,yeah,sure.Anyways,all I can say is that was unbelievable.

Playing the game doesnt make you a nerd. The fact that there was a crowd watching them is what is kinda odd.

you dont understand the stakes in Street fighter, its one of the only games which is also a spectator sport... it's the closest thing to fighting man, whenever me and my mates had an argument on an issue we let Alpha 2 solve our woes...

the longest i played alpha 2 was 25 hours strait, when i got up my legs almost caved in on me, i felt like i was in the game by the end of it, kinda a out of body experience 

[We Fly High]

25 hours straight.. haha wtf.

[rafsta]

I mean..playing games professionally is big business now..

CPL (cyber athlete profession league) is a pro league for gamers, CS, quake 3 all sorts of games.

Prizes of up to $20 000 winnings...

Kids are paid to travel the world, in Korea, pro star craft games are so popular they are televised live on TV.

WCG (World Cyber Games) is held everywhere and winners have their expenses all paid to compete annually in which ever country they are running it in..

Its big time for games...games are commentated on-line shoutcast everything!

[eS El Duque]

^^^yea thats true


I saw a documentry about this kid who would go around playing UNreal Tournement, he was actually sponsered, people would pay to play him. His sponsers said he wasn't allowed to die ONCE....this kid practised like 8 hours a day

[Macaframa]

That is carazy

[::Mr. Hahn::]

It is man, but i guess people are seeing that games are played world wide now, and its big business and its really competitive out there, people spend so much time playing it, why not have competition etc.

I know if they showed world class counter strike competition on TV i'd prolly watch it...

They rekon it will be on ESPN one day..
