Street Fighter 3 Alpha I think. It's one of the Dreamcast ones.
And it's not like in SF2 where you just push back to block. Parrys require a counter move, not just holding back. He's having to time every parry as it happens.
In that case it is quite a feat to accomplish and the audience realises this and praises him for it, especially kicking her ass and finishing her off afterwards.
It's Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.
The big deal is that he has no life. If he blocks a special move or super move, he dies (since blocking either chips away at life).
Normally, when you block, you press "Back" (or Left, assume we're 1P). What he's doing instead is he's "Parrying", or pressing Right (as in, you just walked right into a punch, kick, fireball). If you press Right precisely the moment that the opponent is hitting you, you parry and don't lose life. So he parried all 13 kicks (tapped the joystick in the direction of the attack 13 times, precisely at the interval of every kick) from Chun-Li. Go him.
