During this match, Umehara made an unexpected comeback by countering 15 consecutive hits of Wong's "Super Art" move with only one remaining unit of health.

[1] The Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike finals of Evo 2004 took place at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona on August 1.

However, instead of avoiding it, Umehara chose to "Parry", a high-risk, high-reward technique which allows the defender to block an incoming attack without losing any health, but requires moving toward the opponent's direction in the same time a hit lands,[8] within six of sixty frames of the impact animation – a tenth of a second.

Umehara did so successfully, and went on to counter a final kick of Chun-Li in mid-air before launching a 12-hit combo, capped by Ken's Super Art III; Shippuu Jinraikyaku (疾風迅雷脚, "hurricane thunderclap leg"), winning the match.

[3] GamePro and Eurogamer pointed out how the moment was elevated by the "euphoric" reaction of the crowd, which erupted in cheers and shouts as Umehara parried Wong's moves and turned the game around.

Cureton uploaded the video under the title "Evo Moment #37", picking an arbitrary two-digit number to represent the highlight.

[12]A previously unnoticed recording of the match was discovered by Evo business developer and Tekken brand and community advisor Mark "MarkMan" Julio in 2019, lying amid a stack of old tapes and discs.

Recorded by Ace R., this video is filmed from a different viewpoint and includes distinct live reactions of the people in the crowd.

[15] In an interview with John Guerrero of EventHubs, Justin Wong stated that he believed Evo Moment #37 may have helped "save" the fighting game community, which was becoming less active at the time.

In a friendly match during 2016, British Street Fighter player Ryan Hart notably pulled off Daigo's parry while not looking at the TV screen.
