EVO Moment #37 recreated in fan animated clip

 

One of the most iconic moments in competitive fighting game history just got made into a pretty looking fan animated clip, as an animator by the IG handle name sueng_cheng has recreated "Evo Moment #37" - the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike match between Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong which literally took the FGC/ Fighting Game Community by storm and has since become legend.

For comparison's sake, here is the original clip of the moment that came to be known popularly as the "Daigo Parry"

And then here is the animated feature, which uses voice overs from Street Fighter IV.

Evo 2k11 has new champions!

For the life of me, I haven't been this much hyped about an e-gaming tournament for the longest time. Every single year I tune in to the streams and see the Evo Championship Series roll in, it makes my heart skip and tense at the prospect that literally ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN at any given moment, and it just did!

With the results in, Evo 2011 has finally concluded and is in the books. I wasn't able to catch everything due to obvious time differences and schedules, but I pretty much caught the most important and latter segments of the championships, which were the Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition tournament finals!

And the EVO 2010 SSFIV Champion is...

Daigo Umehara, who else!?

As detailed in Kotaku's post, The EVO 2009 Street Fighter IV champ has retained his status as top player of all things Street Fighter, winning the EVO 2010 Super Street Fighter IV Finals to become champion again, and he deserves a well round of applause! Kudos to you, Daigo! I still can't get over the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike "Parry Comeback" you did in EVO 2004!

The Daigo Parry Video!
Again... The man makes the impossible POSSIBLE! Kudo on the win, Daigo!
