This book wasn’t geared to just fighting game gamers, but to anyone with an obstacle that they
need to succeed over, so it has that “philosophy” approach to it. Sort of that “tao of Daigo Umehara” methods to use in everyday life.

Basically if you block, you still take little bits of damage. I think this is AKA Chip Damage. The parring stops all damage. If Daigo didn’t parry, he would have been KOed from chip damage.

Daigo parried Chun Li’s special move, which is a lot more intensive than blocking and means that, unlike blocking an attack, the parrying player takes no damage.

Okay, so I’ve hardly ever played Street Fighter (maybe once in my life?) but I watched the video. And I saw what Justin was doing with Chun Li and did a special attack. But what Daigo do? Did he just block it?

There’s also the footsies. It’s a fairly popular term in the fighting game community, and I dunno about you guys but my shogi games have a ton of footsies.

Also, I don’t think SF has ever had wavedashing. MvC3 has it, though.
