@phbz I had no idea this existed. Hopefully this thread can continue to enlighten me with new esports!

FINALLY found a copy of Hitman HD Trilogy for PS3 at a reasonable price. No brainer

@dmcmaster Sad story. Also sad news for fighting game fans because Chaos Code is awesome. If you have a PS3 and like anime fighters, I recommend you pick it up on PSN. Apparently there's also a sequel on PS4.

@bam541 pretty crazy SonicFox crashed out 0-3. I didn't watch but even they said everybody is playing out of their skin so it must have been nuts.

@bam541 I don't know if I've ever even killed that many bots in a row. That 4th kill, had they taken damage already before or are head shots always 1-hit?

@bam541 That is so insane. I have never played whatever game that is (CS?) but am so impressed with the creativity on a map I assume they have all played countless times.

@el-shmiablo he's in the tournament. Silver lining if he loses maybe he can do GF.

It should all probably start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaWV-szmnY

Things not mentioned in the video:

1. The input to parry is forward. Miss one, you're toast.

2. The input window to parry is 10 frames at most. Not quite frame-perfect but he still hit that 1/6 of a second window 15 times in a row. For the uninitiated, this does not mean you have to mash forward as fast as you can. This means you have to tap forward within that window and at no other time. Then bring your stick back to neutral and hit forward in that window again and then repeat 13 more times.

3. The players were sitting beside each other and Justin stood up and mashed on his buttons and stick to try to distract Daigo during the sequence.

4. Taunting in SF3 gives your character a small buff that stacks. For Ken it's a small damage increase.

5. Justin later said that he knew he had enough life left in case Daigo parried and supered. What he didn't count on was the jump parry into jumping hard kick to start off the punish which pushed it to enough to kill him.

6. Everybody who doesn't play Chun-li hates Chun-li in Third Strike.

@dipset I think that was 2012 and the only reason I remember is because I'm from Vancouver :(

@dipset NBA? Yes. Especially those brutal Warriors vs. Cavs years.

NHL? I'm not so sure. The Blues were third in their DIVISION last year and the President's Trophy winner rarely wins the cup. Although one thing I would say is that it can sometimes dumb down the hockey in the playoffs where lower seeds start playing super tight defence and win a bunch of 1-0 games.

I don't disagree with MLB playoffs being super intense but can you imagine playing 162 games, being 30 games over .500 and not getting in? Not saying it should change but man that would suck.
