Daigo explains his discomfort with Street Fighter III's core design — specifically the parry system's reliance on player prediction over pure reaction, and how this shifts the mental load compared to other entries he prefers. CasaRetro breaks down why this mechanic creates a fundamentally different risk-reward dynamic and why it remains divisive among pros despite the game's technical depth. The video cuts through the "it's just hard" dismissal to examine what actually bothers high-level players about the parry's demand for read-heavy gameplay.
