- In case you've never seen it, here's the original Evo Moment 37: • Official Evo Moment #3...
Today we're going into Street Fighter 3: Third Strike Online Edition, and attempting the expert parry trials! Can I pull off the infamous Daigo Parry? Parrying Chun Li's entire Super Art 3 is a tall order, but I think we can do it!! Hope you enjoy the video.

While the parry itself is difficult, the tournament pressure, money on the line, no HP and not knowing it was coming is what really made that moment so amazing.
He knew it was coming.
Justin's mistake was going for the obvious.
Daigo was trying to bait it out of him. Lol
@@malacara1335
He's doing that shit for the whole tournament, thinking no one can get out of his Chun Li's super! Turns out Daigo is not 'no one'..
@@malacara1335 i wouldn't call it a mistake. It was literally the best option. The chances of him being able to chip him out was like 98% lmao.
Imagine doing that under tournament pressure, unpredictability, and with no HP left to mess it up.
donbasuradenuevo Absolutely Insane
Easily the most hype moment in FGC history
Would he have lost if he took chip damage while blocking?
TheGreat Gambino yes
TheGreat Gambino that’s why he parried. It was his only option
Daigo's parry is still the most amazing thing I've ever seen in gaming. It's straight out of a movie. The pressure...the crowd...the payoff was perfect.
Check out Lil Majin vs. JDCR, you couldn't have written that match any better.
What's funny is they called it Moment 37 to emphasize that it was just one of many other similarly remarkable moments at that tournament. (Or imply may be a better verb than emphasize depending on your perspective)
Which, idk, I wasn't there. But if you look at the story of how Evo came up with that name (Rolling Stone has a good article about the whole thing) it kinda comes across like they didn't want their tournament to get outshined by Daigo as a player while promoting the footage, which... Yeah, didn't work as well as they hoped.
if 8 Mile was about gaming, the last battle would be moment 37
Really the only thing I've ever seen that comes close to this was the finals for Rocket League Championship Series in '19. One team being down in a 7 game series 0-3, and then winning 3 games, and then in game 7 the 5 minute match timer completes tied, and then there is a NINE minute overtime before a team scores a goal. The crowd sounded like moment 37 for almost all of those 9 minutes.
Daigo is ok I play better players on 3rdstrike they will destroy daigo lol
When your moment is so iconic that the developers threw it into the game as e hardest trial with a description that just says Evo moment 37 and everyone know what you are supposed to do.
I didn't even know this was the official mode
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition for PS3 and Xbox 360's online services is one of the best ports of a fighting game ever made and deserves to be ported forward
That is Fing Awesome!
@@TheLegendaryZed every fighting game player should play street fighter 3 at some point
Practice Parry -> forget combo
Practice combo -> forget Parry
When can we get that on a shirt
@@mutuallysustainedhateboner1426 so forget shirt??
@@mutuallysustainedhateboner1426 I take 3.5 shirts!
Lol
I would actually buy one.
@@VideoGameManiac8 I see what you did there lol
this vid is such a good reminder about how good looking this game is. I hope they return to this aesthetic
I was litterally just thinking this! IMHO 3rdStrike was the pinnacle of SF. Visually and mechanically.
There are videos out there comparing the pixel art of SF3 to the newer games. It's just more dynamic and better.
They will never do it. Lol EVERYTHING must look like cgi shit.
I'm a KoF man myself but these graphics are pretty rad
I read somewhere that this will not happen ever again. It is just way more time consuming and expensive to do pixel art this elaborate than cgi.
7:14
So there's something fucking insane about the Daigo parry. I don't know if it's covered in this video and I might embarrass myself leaving this comment but I just want to gush about this for a minute.
Street Fighter has different air normals for neutral jumps compared to jumping forwards or backwards. When jmcrofts tries the combo here, you see that he gets the neutral j.HK, which sucks. Daigo neutral jumps, but he gets the moving j.HK, making the jump-in easier.
When Daigo air-parried the last hit, his neutral jump turns into an angled jump. This is a really obscure detail of the game engine, which forces me to conclude that Daigo realized before EVO that he would have to full-parry Chun some day and did all the research and lab work to optimize this situation.
Beautiful explanation
Replying to save this for myself
Holy..
i mean yeah, literally. everyone learned to parry almost all the important supers.in the game, even at the time
❓❓❓ Nobody thought what Daigo did was possible at that time, so no, everyone was not practicing that.
*"How Hard is the Daigo Parry?"*
*Me:* _It depends on which game you play in_
the new fighting games are more cassual.... i remember kof 2002 on the arcades was tight as fuck
Cries in SFV parry
I honestly think it's great that newer games aren't so tight with their inputs, however, when it comes to parrying I think at least that part needs to be tight enough for it to be difficult and a heavy risk to do.
I remember you could just part it by playing a song
? Obviously it's gotta be 3rd Strike
This video pretty much shows how badass Daigo is
Now add in the fact it's in tournament level pressure
No health, Any hit outside of party would kill
And failing to punish will likely never give you another chance
@@dizzyheads aaaaand he was playin against Justin Wong ontop of that lol
Indeed 🔥🔥
"LET'S GO, JUSTIIIIN!!!"
But then.......
Ultra instinct trumpets play
He was Wong.
*Hear Boss Music*
Justin is a tough player whatever, but everyone remembers him through Daigo...
Hi see that guy there . That’s me . Your probably wondering how I ended up like this .. well it all started when I was born
18:34
Not all heroes wear capes
Shai Thomas bet! Wasn’t tryna do this whole video 🤣🤣
I was searching for this comment !
Thanks Shai Thomas
Tnx bruh
Timesaver...
When meeting Daigo back in 2004, his reknown came before him to the initiated. I’d always thought he was naturally talented and had special rhythm button presses to determine the measurement of time in frames per second. It was only until earlier this year did I come across one of his streams did I witness him relentlessly practicing on combos and scenarios. It was just pure skill and repetition In a rock lee way. Daigo himself said he was not talented but worked bloody hard at games.
A genius of hard work
So Daigo is proof that hard work triumphs
It’s the same thing with Desk- he has the best execution in the world (Daigo’s words) yet, he’ll practice a single combo for weeks/months until it’s perfect.
I mean, he’s a musician and is talented but still works harder than anyone to hone his craft.
That's incredible!!
Daigo is VERY talented AND hard working. Without both put together he wouldn't be legendary...
Now imagine doing that at EVO with all that pressure and a loud ass crowd.
PrettyboyPa and not have the same practise enviorment behind it. Not beimg able to practise situation to mastet it. Or was there bots back then?
@@karl-henrikohlin6267 no bots just Daigo's cold blood and experience. Also pissed at Justin's turtling ass Chun Li
@@karl-henrikohlin6267 There was a practice area and Daigo was actually practicing the parry ahead of time. He didn't succeed in practice... then does it perfectly in the Loser's Finals of Evo.
Bro my hands are sweating already wtff
1st try too
The reason eco moment 37 is so epic is these guys back then only had the arcade cabinet to practice on no practice mode set up a recording to practice your reaction this was from pure experience
18:33 is what u are looking for ;)
Considering how fast chun-li super is, he had to input the parry before it even started, which is an even bigger testament to how insane this was
In one of Justin Wong's video, he mentioned that you have have to start input the parry even before the super, which mean, Daigo predicted exactly when Justin goes for his super
evo moment 37 will always give me chills. good vid jmcrofts
>Starts parry trials
>Gets to Evo Moment 37 after 5 minutes
>Sees video is over 20
This may be a while.
The best thing about the Daigo parry is that we can see Chun Li in all her glory. Bless you Daigo
The fact that I get hyped just from seeing it redone here goes to show as to how amazing it is
18:34 Jmcrofts finally pulls off the Daigo parry.
This is the best version of SF ever. So fast, great levels, great mechanics.
Daigo: you’ve activated my trap card! Now I’ll banish you to the shadow realm, Justin Wong!
it was a moment based on Daigo's years and years of tournament experience, cold blood, and hours in the arcade, because I'm guessing back in the day, him, Ino, Kuroda, lived in the arcade practicing.
It's crazy that Daigo did the parry with the pressure of 1 hit away from losing and the audience. Hell, even Justin was trying to distract him.
This was pretty cool and a great visit back into memory lane. Honestly, it can't be stated enough, just how legendary that Daigo parry was.
YEEEES EVO 2004!!!!!! T The stuff of legends! He had no health left and came back from it. It's what inspired me to get more time in the practice room in general on all my fighters.
Nice! Crazy that Daigo actually did this during a tournament with a gun to his head.
Took me until watching this video to realize Daigo wasn’t able to do the first part of the parry on reaction to the super flash. Damn.
This whole process you went through only makes me respect Daigo even more. To do something so technical in a tournament setting. Incredible.
You can definitely do the input for the parry after the super freeze, the window is simply very narrow. That's the way I was parrying Chun-Li's super, and pretty sure that's how Daigo did it too. It's way more consistent when you learn the timing.
Is this an official trial in the game? That's sick
Yes, capcom respected the hell out of Daigo's moment. I mean who does not?
@Leon Jones lmao
It is without a doubt, the most famous moment in VS gaming history. Nothing will ever top it probably.
@@usernameRika Most famous for sure, Wombo combo and M2k vs Shizwiz Melee revival moment will always top i think.
@Leon Jones what game is stop ? on the game boy ?
Me: I got this
(5 months later)
*_(uninstalls Third Strike)_*
Even parrying everything until the last hit is so impressive to me. It makes think that even if Daigo had lost on that last kick, it still would have been legendary as a "never give up" or "SO CLOSE" moment.
This shows how clutch this moment! Unreal that this was done in that moment with what was on the line
Great idea. Really gives you new perspective on what godly concentration that was
Damn jmcrofts, you're on your way to becoming the next Diego!
Haha
Diego...😣 lol
Diego Umejuarez
Yeaah, that'll get 'em on my side!
What?
Daigo himself said it wasn’t something that can be done on reaction, you already have to preemptively do the input.
I think he was trying to say it wasn’t as difficult as people made it out to be....but he inadvertently revealed it was even MORE difficult than ppl thought
As someone who hasn’t played this game this makes me appreciate the evo moment even more. I didn’t know this parry and combo was this difficult
imagine you trying to do that in front of a live audience.
Not just doing it in front of a live audience. Doing this in front of a live audience, in a tournament setting, when you had literally no other option of survival.
This was really cool. Still blows my mind that a human could do this in tournament.
I was literally looking at this video over the weekend lol I still play this game. CLASSIC
13:26... the moment when Neo tells Morpheus that he knows Kung Fu... 💯
Chun-Li SA2 actually has a 2 frame startup but also has a 3 frame travel time, so in theory you can parry the super after the super-freeze, although it's much more harder. Also the shotos parry motion makes them go backwards a tiny bit, that's why it only registers 7 hits instead of 8
actually, you don't have to hold forward during the super flash or after it to get the second hit, if you timed your foward input right before the flash, a tap will suffice
This video made me watch the evo 37 again.
this guy is good and look at how much he struggled doing daigo's parry combo in practice too
11:50
You underestimate what I wish to see sir lol
That truly is an amazing moment. I just rewatched it a few days ago
How tf did he pull that off at EVO in such a clutch moment with no health. Stupid crazy
Lots of practice
Be daigo 😂
Me internally screaming: "PRACTICE FACING LEFT!".
He cant, the quest is how it is because daily was facing left u gone wrong
The thing is, I'm sure people can learn it to death, but to do it, in the circumstances and you can't hit the reset button a hundred times, if he got one bit wrong game over, plus all the variables, a tournament, the pressure, not sat at home, all of these things make it even more special and he was against someone super good too, probably one of the best game moments ever, sealed in time
Just finding this channel. Subbed. Old retired fighting gamer, it’s nice to remember all these moments
bro your perseverance is amazing! im just new watching classic evo matches. i like your contents. keep it up bro.
Simply put: Daigo is the Michael Myers of Streetfighter Period. His face almost kind of favors that mask too. (0_0)
The first parry, the second wave, the jump into optimized punish. All those bits are not crazy but combined and in context very good stuff.
So when are you going to win EVO 2004?
Lmao
Omgosh! Is that Jotaro Kujo aka JoJo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part three Stardust Crusaders, made by Hirihiko Araki!?
He was 2 o 3 minutes in practice and he lost the timing for parrying... so, imagine how difficult it was for Daigo... he had just one shot, in semifinal and with all the crowd watching it...
Daigo is a fucking god in a mortal body
It was semi finals, KO won that tournament
@@tomascattaneo3201 thanks a lot i was sure it was the final... its already fixed lol
JM the very last trial for this is to do it with the soundtrack of the crowd hype in the background; that had to be super distracting for Diago but he executed flawlessly
When front parry comes back to street fighter, then I’ll return to the fighting world. Until then, I’ll stay on 3rd strike.
Holyshit cheers for this vid, I don't play fighting games much and never played this one, so I had no idea how hard this would be (tho obvs looked hard) After seeing the super itself, man that deserved a stadium evo crowd.
We didn't know at the time but on that fateful day Daigo awakened ultra instinct. just pure, flawless technique with no wasted movement at the last possible moment to decide the whole tournament.
Congratulations man! I still can't comprehend the rhythm of that parry challenge
when you got it i literally jumped in my seat, yelped and threw my fist in the air. quickly realized i was alone and felt really silly. XD
Un-rare footage of jmcrofts being pleasant and cheerful.
That anticlimax is insane
The fact that they put that parry feat into the game and then cut it off the exact moment it lands its basically a crime against humanity
"I think its 1 2... Then 3 4...then 5 6 7 8"
My mans figured out counting. He's almost up to ten. I'm so proud 😂😂
Just the sheer technicality of this, getting it perfectly under that sort of pressure then combo onto super.... Mind boggling
Watching stuff like this just makes me want to go and play some fightin games
One of the most memorable moments in Street Fighter and gaming history!
I know it's been said to death.
But seeing how much you struggle to pull this off..
Makes the Evo moment so... So much more incredible.
I felt so happy for you when you finally did it.. Moral of the story, never give up..
12:50 Vibing to the parry
I love the thumbnail so much “is it possible?”
Happened every Friday and Saturday night in arcades across the country after a month of the release of Third Strike. Can't tell you how many times people would walk away from the Q because they just could not hit their opponent. But this was also when people traded money for tokens or actual money for play. So you watch your opponent, there was no lag, and you react with your punish in mind. Stop watching your character so that you can get into the groove.
Ive always wondered. Thanks for the vid. I wasnt sure if daigo parried the first hit and the game autos the rest or if he needed to do all individual hits.
See how he needs to embed it as muscle memory before he can perfectly execute it while Daigo just straight up done it
Fun fact: Daigo had actually practiced ahead of time for a moment like this. He even managed to get the full parry while practicing before the match started 👀. Also, Justin didn’t have enough meter to pull off the super and Daigo intentionally threw hadoukens at him to parry so he could get the meter to do the super so he could parry it... Daigo is a freaking MADLAD 😨
@@nick5zone827 damn Daigo provoked Justin to use Chun-li's super huh
The fact that he did it twice at evo events 10 years apart is insane
I've found with hitbox type controllers if you're used to a stick like I am you end up getting the first Parry of multiple hits very easily but you speed up because you don't have the extra motion involved and end up going too fast
YOU CHANGED MY STREET FIGHTER CAREER 😭😭😭 I could never dp cancel into CA but with what you said that the dp already counts as one quarter circle 😭😭 I can do it flawlessly now I can’t thank you enough for mentioning that.
Shows how good Daigo is, he did this in a tournament with no 2nd chances etc.
Love your content man. You’re the next level.
I love this! Are there other moments you have thought of recreating?
This man started the evo#37 parry challenge at 3:44, this is a 24 minute video. This guy spent over 20 minutes trying to do what the beast did. That's why he's the beast.
20 minutes? You clearly didn't watch it. He said it, it took him 1 hour 20 minutes.
It's so wholesome when he gets it and can barely believe it :)
Me and my brother was hyping you up the whole time. Congrats 🎉🎈🍾🎊
Daigo literally changed the course of time and space, otherwise we wouldn't be here.
Yes he did!!! This is really amazing
18:34 T H U M B N A I L B O Y S
2:20 you can parry after screen freeze, its just a super tight window. something like 1-2 frames
I heard that was possible too...I tried, but still can't get it.
I tried it and it is possible but i think you need space for it
i love the graphics and animation on this
Where did you get this version that has this mode? I need to try this.
Jumping HK to crouching MK to medium shoryu to SA3. What a punish
Well done!
More SF3 trials would be great, yes please.
Well done. Perseverance does at off
You have know idea how happy I was to see you complete that
The music makes the grind much more bearable
I love your reaction when you successfully did it ! lol
Well done !
The only problem: it didn't let you finish out the combo before giving you your cookie. Great job Jmcrofts!
You were practicing it for an hour, if it took you that long to finally nail it I can only imagine how Daigo must have felt in that split second when it was do or die time
Its always nice when we receive some meat in the preview of the video. Pd.: It would be cool if you could regain health by parrying.
I think you underestimated how much i did not mind watching chun li kick. Especially that second volley. ;)
