Seen it a long time ago. While thoroughly impressed, this isn't as amazing as one might think.

One must remember that a) daigo had loads of time to sit there waiting for the super combo
b) this was taken at Evolution, one of THE top fighting game competitions in the world. Surely everyone there can parry pretty much anything if they know it's coming

But yes, it is amazing and the level of concentration is incredible. For those who don't know, if you miss ONE parry, you are unable to parry the rest. As well, in the case of Chun Li's super, the timing changes on a few of the hits (unlike moves like Ryu's super fireball)

There is a much more interesting video of the highlights of the Evolution tournament that they are selling as a DVD. If you download it, it includes the clip of daigo as well as many other jaw dropping feats.

I could of swore I downloaded the video at shoryuken.com... but it seems to have changed into a forum only site. Or else i'm not looking hard enough.
