EVO Moment #37 occurred in 2004, at the Evolution Championship Series 2004 tournament.
The famous moment came during a Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike semifinal between Daigo Umehara, playing Ken, and Justin Wong, playing Chun-Li. With almost no health remaining, Umehara parried all 15 hits of Chun-Li’s multihit Super Art, then counterattacked and won the round.
The event took place on August 1, 2004, at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. The highlight later became known as the “Daigo Parry,” while the number 37 came from the title of a post-tournament highlight video.
A common mix-up is confusing the year of the tournament with later years when the footage became widely popular online. The match itself happened in 2004, although its reputation grew substantially after the video circulated internationally.
