Though Street Fighter 3 wasn’t quite as successful as its predecessor, BST|Daigo and Justin Wong’s match together at Evo 2004 is an event that’s even famous among non-fighting game fans. Though Justin Wong was poised to take the match, Daigo Umehara made an epic comeback through a series of parries and a punish.
Needless to say, “Evo Moment 37,” as it’s been referred to ever since, has become an iconic moment that has arguably changed the landscape of fighting games. Even Justin Wong himself acknowledges the impact it had.
Of course, the act of parrying Chun-Li’s super art in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike is said to be more difficult than it looks. In fact, you pretty much have to be prepared to parry before the super flash animation due to the raw speed of the attack.
However, it seems that ChikoPS2 was able to recreate Evo Moment 37 not once, but twice in a single round. Rather than playing as Ken, ChikoPS2 was using Dudley in this match up.
The first instance of this happening, Chun-Li attempted to overwhelm ChikoPS2 and get out of the corner. This ultimately resulted in ChikoPS2 parrying all 17 hits of the sequence, with him then following up with a 16-hit combo.
Still stuck in the corner with a huge life deficit, the Chun-Li player attempted the sequence again in hopes that the first time was just a fluke. Unfortunately for them, ChikoPS2’s ability to recreate Evo Moment 37 was just as on point as the first instance.
