The video made waves as Justin\u2019s opponent pulled off the \u201cDaigo Parry\u201d recreating the legendary EVO 2004 moment.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2022 just started man\u2026.

He\u2019s built a resume of excellence over his long 20-year history as a professional fighting game player, winning numerous tournaments in series like <em>Marvel Vs. Capcom<\/em> and <em>Street Fighter<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video, Wong, who is playing as Chun-Li, unleashes the special move Houyoku Sen and is only a step away from defeating his opponent\u2019s Ken who only has a sliver of health left. But the Ken player manages to parry the entire attack and follow it up with a counterattack to take the round.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220104-187795-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: Justin Wong on Twitch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The sequence was reminiscent of a certain renowned EVO 2004 comeback. The <em>Street Fighter III: 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Strike<\/em> semi-finals match between Justin Wong and Daigo Umehara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wong selected Chun-Li and Daigo selected Ken. Wong used Chun-Li\u2019s Houyoku Sen against Umehara\u2019s Ken which only had a sliver of health left. If Umehara blocks normally, he\u2019ll take chip damage and lose the match. In a move demanding precise inputs from Umehara, he managed to fully parry the multi-hit attack and take no damage, following up with a counterattack of his own. The scene became known as the Daigo Parry and is even known outside of the fighting game community.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Streetfighter III Tournament - Daigo&#039;s Comeback\" width=\"1160\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xSGW7CwD5GM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the new video, just before using the move, Wong says, \u201cYou ain\u2019t Daigo.\u201d But like Umehara, his opponent pulled off the parry and won the round. After being knocked out, Wong commented, \u201cThat\u2019s not scripted, he Daigo\u2019d me.\u201d The legendary moment had been recreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Daigo Parry actually happened again in 2014 in an exhibition match between Wong and Umehara, so barring any other times Wong may have been Daigo\u2019d, this would be the first in 7 years and the third in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an unfortunate way to start the new year, but to be in the same situation, with the same characters, and an opponent skilled enough to pull off the Daigo Parry is a rare occurrence. Hopefully this is a sign of exciting matches to come for Wong in 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro gamer Justin Wong gets Daigo\u2019d to start the new year.
