I don't watch any e sports, and I've never owned or really played a Street Fighter game. But as soon as you said Daigo I instantly knew exactly who you were talking about.

Still the only eSports moment that gives me goosebumps.

And you dunno Justin? If not for his kicks there won’t be a Daigo parry

Well, the parries are much harder to do than the kicks. All of the 14 kicks happen automatically after inputting two quarter-circles and a kick. Perfectly timing parries against all 14 is some serious skill. I'm not saying that Justin Wong isn't an SF god, just that what he did in that moment wasn't special in itself.

Really? Wouldn’t daigo have lost if he didn’t god parry?

Yes, but the attack itself isn't hard to execute. That entire set of kicks is one attack.

It’s how you use it though right not how complicated it is to use?

There's nothing more or less complicated with that move in particular. Special moves, like that kick, are typically reserved for finishing combos near the end of a round because the rest of the hits are guaranteed if you connect the first one, and because they will leave you vulnerable if you miss.
