Nice comeback. Anyone who has spent any amount of time playing any of the SF2 incarnations can relate to it. Ah, memories dumping countless quarters into the SF2 machine at Stop N Go...makes me hungry for a jalapeno hot dog.
It wasn't so much that he needed to jump to block that last kick, but that he jumped in order to start his own combo. Which makes it even more amazing in my book. And the fact that he did it in a competitive match makes it almost unfathomable. In basketball terms, I'd equate it to J.R. Smith doing his slam dunk competition behind the back dunk, in traffic during an actual game.
OK, I know very little about Zelda and SF, but I do know my Starcraft. These guys were just way too excited over a simple rush victory.
right after he blocked cuttino mobley, and ran full court down the other side to do that dunk you mentioned, hence winning the game by one point.
It's nothing special at all, REALLY. You should watch some of the "the king of fighter" clips played in asia, that's what I called INSANE.
Perhaps it has something to do with that we're watching real men, relying on physical proweses to do that instead of a seeing some guys sitting on their @sses hyped on Mountain Dew seeing who has the fastest thumbs. I'll take actually playing basketball on a real court anyday over playing NBA Live on an Xbox 360 and I'll take watching real live basketball players than digital simulations no matter what kind of sick dunks we can make them do in gamespace reality and I sure as hell will take a real martial arts / combative sport match between real people than Streetfighter even if the guys can't breathe Yoga fire or hang in midair.
