Excellent Gaming Videos

[The Boston Crab]

A thread to encompass cool achievement type stuff, documentaries, speedruns and basically anything interesting about games.


First up, one of the best ever matches in Street Fighter 4 between Daigo (probably the most famous fighting game player, infamous for Evo Moment #37) and Momochi, one of the other Japanese fighting game community 'gods'. Momochi had the best Ken in the world, Daigo had the best Ryu but he was playing as Evil Ryu, a more damaging version with less health. It starts off really tight and technical, lots of controlling space and then it becomes a total slugfest, massive risk reward type of stuff as they start to read each other and adapt and gamble. The commentators are also brilliant, putting some of what's happening in context and just getting hyped up at what they're seeing. It does start off quite patient but once they get going, it's one of the best ever sets of any fighting game I've seen.

For those who don't know what Evo Moment #37 is or why Daigo is famous, a little bonus vid for you which is one of the most amazin, clutch, ridiculous things ever in games or sport.

If you don't understand what's going on, Daigo is parrying each hit of the super combo by tapping towards the other player because he doesn't have enough health to block. If he misses a single one, he's dead. Each parry needs to be frame perfect and by parrying the last hit in the air, which is insanely difficult to time because the rhythm is broken, he gets a brief window of a couple of frames to launch into his own combo and then into super combo. It's the equivalent of scoring six sixes off the last over to win a cricket match against the best bowler in the world, something as improbable as that.

Alternate footage of the fight which recently surfaced. You can hear a guy off-camera saying 'don't do it, don't do it' when Justin Wong is about to throw out the super. The guy had seen Daigo playing a few casuals in the hotel earlier and he'd seen him trying to parry Chun's super so he had a feeling about what was coming :D


OH SHIT!!! OH SHIT!!!

The way Daigo presses those buttons is indeed impressive. Parries were solid on Street Fighter 3

The decade long search for the last secret in Shadow of the Colossus. Haven't been too chatty lately or I'd have already posted this, it's a great 20-minute documentary about a bunch of fans desperately trying to find one last secret in this excellent old PlayStation game.

Just for the inspirational self-commentary, Ryan Lockwood's classic Goldeneye Streets Agent 1:12. What a rush.

Trying and failing. I laugh at them.

Very nice.

You've probably all seen this video about Level 4-2, but it's a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg

This video about reverse emulating on the NES is an underrated work of art: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar9WRwCiSr0

Half Life 2 level design analysis. A level designer plays through a bit of HL2: Episode Two breaking down how it's put together and all the principles involved. Really fascinating.

I do still preffer watching older SF3 stuff though, just seems more fluid rather than stand offs and then big combos.

I really loved CannibalK9's thoughtful, wistful, odd and philosophical playthrough of The Void, which I watched all of it even having completing the game, but thoroughly recommend for anyone who's never going to get round to actually completing an IcePick Lodge game:
