Maybe this is pedantic, but it's not quite that simple. If Daigo (Ken) had blocked any hit from Justin's (Chun-Li) super, he would have lost his remaining health (via "chip damage", which you take even while blocking) and hence the round.
I'm not an expert on the subject so I won't attempt my own explanation. There's a nice article here that I think does a good job of explaining what makes Daigo's performance here so incredible:
I winced as soon as I saw the examples --- these things bug me too. :)
There are quite a lot of sites with buttons labelled "login" or "logout" (HN is one!) which I always thought should read "log in" and "log out".
I suppose the language is heading this way though, so I'm sure we'll consider these things to be grammatically correct eventually, if we don't already.
I'm a competitive problem solver and won the Greed programming contest held by CodeCombat back in June 2014. I have a first class BSc in Computer Science and 2 years professional experience in web development, along with some hobby work on the desktop.
Technologies:
- Web: HTML/CSS/Javascript, jQuery, Python, Perl, MySQL
- Desktop: C#, WinForms, Java
- Others: UNIX command-line, Bash scripting, Git
My side projects also include some F# and Clojure.
I learn fast and love to try out new stuff, so send me an email if you're looking for a friendly developer.
