*Notes* - Daigo Umehara would win this match but go on to lose the grand final against Kenji Obata - Street Fighter 3rd Strike runs at 60fps however the window to parry is about 6 frames on the ground, not 1 frame as I stated in the video. You have about a 1/10 of a second to react to each one of those kicks as opposed to 1/60th, which is a really big difference - Justin Wong is Canadian not American, not really sure how I missed that detail I'm guessing one of the 5 articles I read about that evo tourney claimed he was American either meaning "from the NA region" or simply "not Japanese" as is the case in a lot of esports. - Even before the dancing for spacing before the super you can see Daigo throw two hadoukens giving Justin Wong a easy ability to block/parry to give him just enough super bar to use the Houyoku Sen, meaning Daigo was baiting out this super usage for exactly this counter play - Justin Wong would go on to say later in an interview that the thought of Daigo perfect countering that super didn't even cross his mind, he absolutely thought he had won the second he threw out the Houyoku Sen Super Art - The original video named "Evo Moment #37" has no significance, and was named "moment 37" simply to make viewers think there were 36 other equally hype moments like this at the events. - 10 years after this moment Daigo and Wong would come together to compete in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of this moment and play the same characters. Wong would once again use the Houyoku Sen and Daigo would once again perfect parry the move, however would end up losing due to Justin still having enough health to finish him off this time. - In Street Fighter 5 Chun-Li's Critical Art Houyoku Sen is a 37 hit combination, in reference to Evo Moment 37.
@@lollmaoimcool ua-cam.com/video/yWrcFZWaEh0/v-deo.html They start talking about a scenario where the queen dies at around 15:29, this video came out only a couple weeks ago.
Never heard of the Daigo parry before. Fckin awesome. Speedrunners rule out TAS strategies that have more than one frame-perfect input. Especially near the end of a run. Imagine being at the end of a tournament. Absolutely beautiful art.
Something nobody remembers: Daigo lost. Justin Wong (the Chun Li player getting parried) has been reliving that parry for literal years. People show up on his stream just to try to do it to him and it's hilarious every time.
Just to be clear, parries in Third Strike have a 10 frame window, not 1. Not to discount the difficulty of the Daigo parry, but just to say that it's difficult for other reasons.
I just learned about Moment 37, that's insane. _Another_ crazy thing about it, according to some UA-cam comments, is that (it's very likely) _Daigo was baiting Justin into supering._ The theory: Justin wasn't able to super, so Daigo threw out 2 fireballs hoping Justin would parry them. As Daigo predicted, Justin _did_ parry them and charged his super, which is why Daigo stopped throwing fireballs and started making sure he was in position to parry. So Daigo didn't JUST play the game, he played the player. Man, what an absolutely wild clip. Thanks for showing me.
I read that comment and thought they meant daigo was charging his super as a bait and didn't understand, him purposefully charging up Justin's super just for the parry is insane
On top of that, I read that daigo didn't have to parry the high kick to live the super, but to ensure that the animation prevents justing from parrying daigo's super. By parrying the high kick, daigo made sure that justin's user input could no longer affect the outcome. Effectively, justin starting the super was the last thing he did that influenced the game.
i've seen the Daigo parry a few times before but it's still utterly incredible to this day, and the way you set it up made it so much more dramatic when the big moment finally happened. i honestly got a little teary-eyed wathcing it just out of sheer awe, it's that good. gaming is hella art
Imagine waking up, jokingly tweeting about how you hope the queen dies so you don’t have to go to school, and then four hours later the queen actually dies.
Sometimes you get your cheeks clapped just right, to where you don't mind you lost to your opponent. Losing to a god like play like that makes you feel not too bad compared to losing to cheese
I don't think 'Getting destroyed' is accurate. It is two players playing absolutely perfect, but one had to lose. The moment he launched this ultimate, there was nothing else he could do.
It happens man, I used to play pvp 4x/grand strategy games, and sometimes when you get wrecked, and lose the last 5 hours, you still just have to sit in awe of the brilliance that just happened
Are we gonna talk about how you did a whole DnD scenario with IH about the queen dying and you becoming the king like 2 weeks ago? Got something to say, Sumito? 🤨
Hey Sumito. Just wanna let you know that the first time I saw this video, and how passionately you explained the Justin Wong clip... I knew that if I was having a real bad time, this could bring me out of it. Goddamn dude, you really helped today. Thanks, king.
I don't need BBC News, this is where I get all my information from. I believe in the SumitoMedia supremacy. Thanks to you I passed my A-Levels!! I literally had your vids on repeat in the background while I studied. But I will never forget the aboslute fear I felt when I forgot I had left my Bluetooth speaker on and I heard your voice behind me. Legit thought you had broken into my house. Im going into the University of my choice so thank you!! Now you got me in, you are legally obligated to pay for my education. That's how it works, sorry. But honesty, cheers man. Have a good one
I rewatched those last 4 minutes so many times. Not only is that the greatest end to a street fighter match, but your narration made it absolutely enthralling to watch over and over. I commend you, your majesty, King Sumito
You didn't even mention that Daigo studied how to parry the Chun-Li super with both visual and audio cues, and halfway through the combo he lost the ability to hear the game due to the crowd popping off, forcing him to rely on visual and muscle memory to correctly hit the parries on the second half of the super. Watching that clip is always a treat.
Remember when the English government was going to stop snoop dog from coming into Britain but the Queen herself vouched for him and let him in? Lizzy was the best queen and we shall never see her like again. If only her kids weren't evil.
Sumito always striked me as a guy who already knew about moment 37, but either way it's always fun seeing people still get so hyped about it years later
I knew about moment 37 a friend of mine showed me the clip in like middle school or something, I just couldn't appreciate it until I was well into my twenties
Ok. I've only seen up until 2:41, but I do want to comment that the dance radio death announcement is indeed edited (faked). The real one that possibly inspired this edit has a fanfare before the announcement. Sorry everyone.
Imagine giving people shit for playing videogames but spending the same amount of time sitting on the same chair reading a book or listening to music ia supposed to be oh so great. Like bruh, not everyone is just playing NBA2K or CoD.
My favorite youtube content creator Internet Historian doesn't make much content these days, but, at least, he turned me onto SumitoMedia like some kind of Internet historian methadone.
Sumito. Thank you for another video. Just one thing, I gotta say it because it happens a lot: when you say "serotonin", what you mean is "dopamine". They're both neurotransmitters but dopamine is the main feel good one.
thank you sumito! you picked the exact right moment to show and explained it well too!! i show people that and i always have to explain why its special because it happens so fast
4:26 omfg the timing is impeccable 10:12 immediately thought of how I, a Dota 2 scrub, cycloned myself out from a Pudge hook at a work tournament (technique learnt from wtfdota lol) and everyone losing their f*cking minds. people really get hyped for dota 2 but dayum I could hear screams from next door 🤣 it's such a toxic game but that moment lives in my head
You're absolutely right, gaming is an art form and nothing will be better than that EVO Moment. Everytime I watch it I get goosebumps and still get amazed of how great it is.
There are absolutely insane feats in the world of gaming. Zero's undisputed dominance of Smash 4 during its era with a world record amount of major and supermajor wins. Hbox's ultimate clutch comeback for Evo. How stripped down and perfected games like Super Mario Bros and Portal are in the world of speedrunning. The first perfect game of Pac-Man. The first 0 death FromSoft series marathon. And so many more.
@@DM-wk3gz yap, our little ol island is still being occupied to this day and everyone acts like it's normal and okay. Not like it's totally unfair to take a literal quater of the available land in our already tiny country and refuse to give it back even a hundred years after they stole it through violence and murder.
My Grandfathers grandparents (my great-great grandparents) lived through the potato famine and moved to Canada to join their siblings afterwards. Then they lived through extreme discrimination in Canada ‘cause Irish. My grandfather wrote a couple of papers on it when he was getting a social studies degree after retiring from the military. It was pretty neat to see his reaction to the queen dying versus my grandmothers (her family is from Engerland).
7:40 because she had a good life way above her species' average lifespan and passed away in a nice place supervised and attended by top-notch doctors while that turtle most likely only lived a fraction of its lifespan in less than comfortable conditions and was then killed (quick google search suggests boiling alive is rather common) to be eaten. Same google search also suggests most people find turtle meat rather bland, so it's not like ANYONE really benefits.
2:25 the addditional line of humor is that some dance/trap music has a bits of recitative in them and that really felt organic with those intonations i am fucking dying
Two things: 1. Weird to think that Evo moment 37 is apparently nowhere near as famous as I thought it was. 2. There are anti-monarchy protests going on in the UK (and some other Commonwealth countries), safe to say that memers are not gonna have that big of an impact. So enjoy yourselves!
Evo moment 37 brings a tear to my eye. The fact they did that on the biggest stage in the fighting game world at the time and not in some friendly is incredible.
That dude's statement about being a "lifelong" gamer, but not having any memories of gaming in the top 100 greatest moments of your life; what kind of lifelong gamer doesn't have a formative childhood memory of a game they played? For me, my two biggest ones are in the same series. The end credits of Medievil 1 and its sequel. The ending of both of the games has the main character accept death and lie down inside their tomb, and right afterwards the credits roll and this gentle, ethereal music plays. Me, as a little kid, feeling all these different emotions, the happiness at winning, the sadness at his death, the sense that it's what he wants. All that bittersweetness, it was the first time I ever felt it, and even now listening to that music it puts a feeling in me I can't fully express. Nausea, tears, release, finality; both sad and glad that it's over. Oblivion, the first open world RPG I ever played, I still have all these clear memories of wandering through a world that looked like it was an oil painting, seeing deer run at my approach, just finding things and being amazed at all of it. Even more recently, Dragon's Dogma and the fucking awesome fight against Grigori contrasted against the gentle singing in the main menu, Doom 2016 and Eternal making my heart do the hokey-pokey in my chest and making me feel alive, Walter Machado releasing what feels like a playable music video, Warframe making me cry during the Second Dream and Sacrifice, just the entirety of Metal Gear Rising. If he really is a lifelong gamer and he doesn't have a _single_ memory of gaming that's important to him, then he should consider getting some fucking taste.
One more thing to add to Moment 37, is it was later discovered that the final air parry was completely unnecessary. You can just jump forward before the high kick, completely dodging it, giving you time to do a much better punish than if you had actually parried the final hit. So looking back at moment 37 with modern insight, NOT ONLY does everything you mentioned apply, but technically speaking, Daigo STYLED ON JUSTIN BY MAKING HIS PUNISH UNNECESSARILY MORE DIFFICULT! Daigo is a fucking legend
my personal gaming art moment: beating Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on Proud Mode without dying a single time. Every time I died I restarted the save file (for context, KHFMPR is pretty much accepted to be the hardest Kingdom Hearts experience, as the difficulty was overhauled to be harder in the Final Mix, and Proud Mode is the hardest difficulty of that particular game), and when I finally completed it I felt so proud it was nuts
That fucking Parry is just as massive and impressive as some of the best sporting moments of all time just because your sitting in a chair doesn't mean it's not a sport let alone art
Evo Moment 37 will go down in history as one of the greatest gaming moments of all time, and the fact that we're still talking about it today speaks volumes.
I guess you could look at it lik the Grim reaper playing Ken and Queen Elizabeth playing Chun li . Then someone yells "Let's go Elizabeth" but then gets parried and taken out of the single elim tournament of life
*Notes*
- Daigo Umehara would win this match but go on to lose the grand final against Kenji Obata

- Even before the dancing for spacing before the super you can see Daigo throw two hadoukens giving Justin Wong a easy ability to block/parry to give him just enough super bar to use the Houyoku Sen, meaning Daigo was baiting out this super usage for exactly this counter play
- Justin Wong would go on to say later in an interview that the thought of Daigo perfect countering that super didn't even cross his mind, he absolutely thought he had won the second he threw out the Houyoku Sen Super Art
- The original video named "Evo Moment #37" has no significance, and was named "moment 37" simply to make viewers think there were 36 other equally hype moments like this at the events.
- 10 years after this moment Daigo and Wong would come together to compete in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of this moment and play the same characters. Wong would once again use the Houyoku Sen and Daigo would once again perfect parry the move, however would end up losing due to Justin still having enough health to finish him off this time.

hype!
I'm surprised that you didn't bring up that Sans was the one who killed the queen of England, but maybe you didn't hear about that...
invented soccer? call it football at least in the same sentence
Still find it interesting Sumito and Internet Historian predicted the explosion of the queen.
"predicted", hmm? That's what they want you to think...
Exactly the reason I had to..."word" it that way
This is a reference of a video i want to see, sooo, sauce pls🙂

Btw Justin is canadian

Honestly the combo is even more impressive than the parry.

The best part about Justin submitting that moment as one of the greatest moments in his life is JUSTIN IS THE ONE GETTING DESTROYED in that clip.

I don't think 'Getting destroyed' is accurate. It is two players playing absolutely perfect, but one had to lose. The moment he launched this ultimate, there was nothing else he could do.
He understands that sometimes a man just has to accept his place in history.
It happens man, I used to play pvp 4x/grand strategy games, and sometimes when you get wrecked, and lose the last 5 hours, you still just have to sit in awe of the brilliance that just happened
It was that moment that solidified Daigo as my favorite fighting game pro player, and he has not disappointed me since
That explanation of moment 37 has given me a whole new appreciation for it
Are we gonna talk about how you did a whole DnD scenario with IH about the queen dying and you becoming the king like 2 weeks ago?

Every time I died I restarted the save file (for context, KHFMPR is pretty much accepted to be the hardest Kingdom Hearts experience, as the difficulty was overhauled to be harder in the Final Mix, and Proud Mode is the hardest difficulty of that particular game), and when I finally completed it I felt so proud it was nuts
I forgot that Sumito Media brought up Moment 37. Brought a tear to my eye.
That fucking Parry is just as massive and impressive as some of the best sporting moments of all time
just because your sitting in a chair doesn't mean it's not a sport
let alone art
Evo Moment 37 will go down in history as one of the greatest gaming moments of all time, and the fact that we're still talking about it today speaks volumes.
I guess you could look at it lik the Grim reaper playing Ken and Queen Elizabeth playing Chun li .
Then someone yells "Let's go Elizabeth" but then gets parried and taken out of the single elim tournament of life
3:49 no way, DMC5!! Very based
Ay good to see you sumit
Seeing Sumito nerd out on street fighter towards the end was very enjoyable
