The Next Street Fighter Lets You Try to Re-Create the Coolest Street Fighter Moment Ever

By |

At a tournament in 2004, facing near-certain defeat, Street Fighter player Daigo Umehara turned back a hurricane of an attack from another top player Justin Wong.

What he did, under pressure, in front of a hollering crowd, was incredible. It was one of competitive gameā€™s best momentsā€”perhaps its most thrilling play ever. Now you can try to re-create it.

The game Daigo and Justin Wong were playing in 2004 was Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. The game is being ported and polished this year as an Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 downloadable game dubbed Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition. (We got the latest on it yesterday.)

The new Online Edition has a training mode that challenges you to pull off Daigoā€™s unbelievable move. Watch the clip above as Capcomā€™s Seth Killian explains the history of that great gaming moment and shows how itā€™s been woven into the revitalized game.

Think you can do what Daigo did?
