What. The. Hell? Jess posting a Street Fighter video? No. NO! That’s like discussing architecture with George Costanza – you don’t do that to me. That was a Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike finals match for the Evolution 2004 tournament, between Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong – gods among men in the fighting game world. Parrying an entire super is ridiculously crazy – you won’t understand exactly how crazy until you’ve actually played this game in a real arcade. I have trouble consistently parrying fireballs that the computer throws at me. But to do it in an actual match, and following it up with a jump-in combo, against another expert player, who’s playing a turtling Chun-Li…that’s just insane.

But if it’s Street Fighter videos that you want…then you might want to check out these two as well…

– JChensor’s Ode To The 2 Hit Combo – a disgustingly huge 21 minute, 323 MB video. Some of these might actually be harder than the super parrying.

– A combo video by NKI. Exploits lots of the glitches in some of the games – I’m not completely sure what’s going on in half of them. This file’s a lot smaller than the Ode though.

And that metal rubber link Jess posted was neat as hell, too. And yes, this does open the door to super cool armoured superheroes.

So to recap, we got…

– Metal Rubber Man (Iron Man styles)

– the German superbaby (Nazi Superman styles)

– the Russian x-ray girl (Commie Supergirl styles)

– the invisibility cloaks from Japan (Gray Fox styles)

– London’s Harpoon Man (Aquaman styles)

– the Boneless Korean or whatever the hell he is, doesn’t matter (Plastic Man styles)

– Father Matt Foley aka The Priest, fighting crime from out of his van down by the river (Preacher styles)

– a Maine man who says that a lightning strike has energized him (Flash styles)

– a supersmart millionaire (Batman styles)

We live in an age of Marvels.
