Caveat: I don’t play fighting games, but I come to EVO moment 37 every now and again for the frisson it provides me. From what I’ve gathered from folks who are in that community, this fest is even more impressive than you might realize, because he had to begin parrying that move before the screen effects begin. You can even see his character sort of twitching back and forth before the super pops, anticipating the directional inputs necessary to pull the parry off. So, not only is it practically frame-perfect reflexes and timing, but it’s also an incredible display of metagame knowledge to guess that is what is coming.

Once again, Wow! I would probably be panicking too much at that point to even do normal moves correctly.
