Evo moment #37 has gone down as perhaps the greatest moment in competitive video game history. In it a young Daigo Umehara achieves the remarkable: a flawless Critical Art parry into Critical Art counter for a dramatic win when all seemed lost. And he did it in the semi-final of the Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Evo tournament against perhaps the greatest western fighting game player of all time: Justin Wong.
Evo moment #37 happened in 2004. Now, 15 years later, Justin Wong has analysed his own defeat - and it's a thrill for any fighting game fan.
Wong runs through the entire match, not just the famous parry, commenting on the minutiae as he goes. There's a lot of fighting game jargon and technical talk here, but even casual fans of the genre will get a kick out of Wong's enthusiasm for the fight - and his willingness to acknowledge the stunning skill of his opponent.
