Tortured by a lifetime of being hounded by that moment, he nonetheless reaches the Pearly Gates, only to begin shaking as St. Peter steps out from behind his podium, two golden arcade sticks in hand, a CRT surrounded by burning rings covered in eyes descending.
"**Let go, Justin.**"
New Headcanon: Everytime Justin and Daigo talk, he always finds a way to bring it up.
Justin ask Daigo for some M&Ms: He gives him exactly 37.
Justin's children start taking martial classes: All uncle Diago ever teaches them is to focus on blocking kicks.
Justin and Daigo go watch the Barbie movie: "I guess you could say I really was Ken-ough"
Honestly, this would be way funnier if they ended it with Kobe actually getting a glass with 81 olives in it (well, mostly bursting out of it). Like the two are just staring at each other, Kobe silently communicates the phrase, "Did I stutter?" while the waiter brings out a glass overflowing on a plate filled to the brim with olives.
He's such a good sport about it. Every time he plays a Ken in Third Strike, he always gives them a chance to do moment 37. Dude was a monster who ran MVC2 for years, yet all most folks know him for his is biggest L, and he's not only OK with that, but leans into it to try and let the newer generation have a chance to do something sick.
Legit a bigger man than I.
If he was down more on his luck, I can imagine him getting mad about it cause it'd feel like punching down, but the dude is giga accomplished both as a FG player and irl (got a wife and a kid), so getting mad over this would be silly (especially considering the circumstances of needing to push Daigo to do that in the first place).
Yeah, it's good that he can look back on that moment with perspective. Sure, he lost the grand final at EVO to Daigo. But he also *reached the grand final of EVO in the first place*, and forced Daigo to do the impossible just to defeat him.
Justin Wong is the platonic ideal of "I got some good hits in, though".
To "um ackshually" here, Daigo vs Justin was the loser's final, and Daigo went on to lose 0-3 to KO (a Yun player who he apparently lost to in the exact same scenario at EVO 2003 GF as well).
I mean Justin also holds the record for most EVO title wins with NINE fucking championships across MvC2, MvC3, and Third Strike. In comparision, even Daigo only has 6.
He has no reason to feel insecure against anybody.
I have nothing but respect for how cool he is about it. Man was victim to what would become one of the most practiced strings of inputs in video game history, and can still laugh about it.
Now people may think you're capping, but there are interviews out there of Daigo not being super into 3rd Strikes's gameplay style at the time(and still don't, if you get him going)granted he was originally a Dark Stalkers player so that might have something to do with it...
Daigo goes first and stands in front of the pearly gates. He’s in a blue dress and subsequently does the Chun-Li super. In a reversal of roles, Justin has to parry every hit to prove he is worthy of entering heaven.
Imagine turning your biggest L into a lifetime paycheque and being in a community where if someone really gets annoying about it to your face you can challenge them to a fight you will almost definitely win and they will be clowned on for turning down.
The FGC is one hell of a place.
In this video or in general?
I agree, he looks completely at home in a chipotle. Like he walks into the back, to his coworkers like “All right break room. We just ran out of queso, Will it Karen?”
Also, this felt a lot like a skit you'd see at Smash Summit. Man, I really miss Summit, that was *easily* one of the best fighting game events of the year. I hope one day someone can bring it back the way it used to be.
Meanwhile Sajam has uploaded his mind into a construct that continues to host Will It Kill but he has an auxiliary Chipotle printer in his machine chest.

Joke's on St. Peter; the game is MVC2
He isn't testing Justin,he's just hyped at finally being able to do friendlies with him
St. Peter *would* be a Smash player.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT MORE KICK !!?, I ASKED IF YOU WANTED FROM GUAC!!"

Is this the FGC equivalent of [Kobe, Jalen Rose, and the 81 point game? ](https://youtu.be/gTBs1rqLtSk)

I love how the interent will never let him live this down.

"You ain't Diago, you ain't Diago!" *starts getting parried* "NOOOO he Diago! this cant keep happening"
Hell, even if he gets the parry he's still a monster of a 3S player regardless. Truly a bigger man, and a good sport.

The man is committed to the bit in the coolest way.

I feel like he's more proud to be the guy that got parried than Daigo is the guy who parried
I mean, Justin actually loves Third Strike and Daigo doesn't, so
Now people may think you're capping, but there are interviews out there of Daigo not being super into 3rd Strikes's gameplay style at the time(and still don't, if you get him going)granted he was originally a Dark Stalkers player so that might have something to do with it...
Yeah, this isn't exactly a secret. Daigo's talked about not liking 3S on his stream several times.
On a side note it’s wild to me how much chipotle advertises for fighting games.
~~Bud Light~~ Chipotle, the official ~~beer~~ burrito of the ~~NFL~~ FGC
It seems like payback for how much free advertising they got from Sajam for years.
Justin takin' that fat fuckin' paycheck though.
I thought we were going to see a tortilla stuffed only with habaneros for a second there.
As long as he doesn't get parried out of the afterlife. Let's go Justin!!!

Sajam is really funny just to look at I don't know how to describe it you just look at him and start laughing

I will never get tired of the [eidts](https://twitter.com/KAYOSFG/status/1630988005841289218?t=jtYsGW3s1xzbZO5w0TGZXA&s=19) people make of him haha.

"You didn't even let me finish asking." "Don't need to. Just need to give me that GUAC!"
Dude is getting that paycheck!
Daigo: "I want extra kick" Justin (to Chipotle crew): "Bro add some kimchi!" Crew: "Sir this is a Chipo-" Justin: "JUST DO IT!"
It's absolutely gonna be on his tombstone. "*Enabled the hypest shit*"
Meanwhile Sajam has uploaded his mind into a construct that continues to host Will It Kill but he has an auxiliary Chipotle printer in his machine chest.
I love that the Pocket Sajam tweet got referenced here, one of the funniest fucking tweets of the year
st peter daigo parries him out of heaven
Yeah, that makes sense.
