Street Fighter II - Never give up

If you've ever played Street Fighter in an arcade, you have to watch this. It is the most awesome comeback in a SF game ever.

This fight was at the semi-finals of EVO 2004 between Daigo Umehara (Ken) and Justin Wong (Chun-Li). Daigo is probably the best SFII player in the world, and this fight is a legendary showcase.

I am seriously in awe of how he had the presence of mind to jump and execute the last parry, after executing a combined sixteen parries before that, and then follow it up in style.

Some people seriously play computer games too much.
