About a year ago, I watched a video clip of some console fight game tournament where some guy blocked his opponent about 20 times in a row with a sliver of health and then did a kill move to win. The crowd is going bezerk.
Anyone know what this was? Is it now on YouTube somewhere?

I've watched that clip probably two dozen times and it's still incredible every time.
I suck at fighting games, too.

How the heck do you block something like that? I remember every block still taking a sliver of health...

I'm not impressed at all by people mastering Street Fighter. Despite how much I love it.

I am waiting for the video of one of those guys interacting with a woman in a social situation. That would be far more rare.

Some background:
This is a clip of Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.
The Ken player is Daigo Umehura, one of the best SF players in the world. The other player is Justin Wong, one of the best US players.
Daigo is not blocking, he is parrying. To parry you hit forward on the stick as the attack comes toward you. When you parry you don't take any damage or get pushed backwards, and you recover much faster than if you were blocking.
He jumps and parries the last hit so he can start his combo with an air-hit.

I haven't played SC in years, so....the Terran peasant units are a lot tougher than the zerg equivalent units?
But anyway....it's Starcraft....lol

Zerg peasants attack slowly and have low health, low damage and low armor.
The terran SCVs have a much better combo of health, armor, damage, etc. I forget the exact ways in which they are better, but they are way better overall.
The Protoss probes are also better than the Zerg thanks to their shields.

A bit. The real kicker with that maneuver was the two marines laying down fire from the back. The SCVs on their own would have gotten wiped out, but using SCVs to run interference for marines is an excellent early game move, particularly for defending against zergling rushes and the like. You just don't see it used offensively very often. :-D |
