When he made that shot, I screamed "OH MY GOD!" and my brother had to come upstairs and see what the heck was going on. I still joke about Kobe's 81 point barrage from last year. If he played EVERY OTHER GAME of that season and scored no points, he would have had a 1 point average for the ...

I haven't watched the video yet, but do the guys who get Comboed have any Super Meter? Usually, the easiest way to avoid that kind of thing is to avoid Neutral States, something that was used a lot in Capcom games even before Alpha 3 made a much bigger deal out of them (see preserving OTG combos in ...

If I recall, you CAN fight against CPU Shin Akuma in the arcade, but obviously you couldn't use him until the home version.

I don't remember the circumstances to fight him. Maybe you couldn't. I'd have to look it up on GameFAQs or something.

Well, Kobe deserves more points, now, as do the Lakers. Let's see if they can keep it up tonight.

And who the hell would want an autographed photo of me?!? Outside of someone whose heater died and is in need of stuff to burn for heat.

But in response to both you and Maj regarding the clip itself: The point of it was to just show how retardedly easy it was to spew out something like that in less than a day without having played the actual game for any serious amount of time. Take that for what it's worth. Of course it's not a sup...

Random note: CPU Zangief in XSF can cancel this throw directly into standing attacks, but the CPU can do that with everyone (launch->s.Jab as a combo). XSF CPU Zangief can also do chains on the ground (c.Short->s.Strong->c.Fierce FTW). My favorite that I've seen is still Gambit doing Crouch Roundho...

My personal reasoning for appreciating manual runs more is: watching manual runs you're seeing the application of skill, thought, and effort. With TA' you're only seeing the application of thought. I personally like the idea of using TA' as a template for manual runs -- to show what is possible and...

Just because of that, you now have to make a Combo Video using Axel F as the background music.

I'm positive it was a different thread he also commented on that. Because he said, like, 5 things in 5 sentences all that cut right to my heart. Hated on Combo Videos, hated on Evo Staff, hated on Trailer makers, and other things I can't remember. I had to respond to him and say, "Geez, hit me ...

Yeah, I can see that. I mean, you watch a video for MeltyBlood, and since I know nothing about MeltyBlood, what can I really take from the Combo Video? For all I know, they are hella impractical, or they could all be very basic combos that you use all the time. I dunno. As one who used to love makin...

Totally. To continue with my basketball analogies, I totally see Combo Videos as being Slam Dunk contests. They are awesome, and some of those dunks performed by Vince Carter, Michael Jordan, and Dominique Wilkins will be watched forever, but the dunk contest never won anyone a championship. Nor doe...

Just curious, then, Xenozip... what's your opinion of Sai-Rec, Meikyousisui, kysg, and the like? All of them are programmable controller players, and I am, in particular, a huge fan of kysg's. The stuff he comes up with is awesome, and you wouldn't ever get to see those things if we didn't have prog...

I'm also a fan of Chen's "Ode to the 2hit Combo" which was beyond fantastic on so many levels. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the compliments, Xenozip. But I do always have to also give tons of credit to Maj himself, 'cause he contributed half of the combos and was the guy who g...

Apoc's logic about Combo Videos destroying SF is similar to, say, John Wooden hating on Slam Dunks. Apoc mentioned that Combo Videos provide this unrealistic expectation to be flashy, and people stop learning how to play "fundamentally" and just focus on Combos. Combo Videos, in other word...

This is starting to get serious, here. :-( Hopefully we can beat Cleveland tomorrow and have SOME momentum going into the break. I jsut hope Luke Walton can return soon after the break. And that Kwame Brown can come back soon, too. I know there a lot of Kwame haters out there, but he can put a big b...

That was one of the most horrible things I think I've ever seen. I can't believe they implemented Tony Jaa camera, too!! Activate a Super and watch it activate FIVE TIMES, sometimes UPSIDE DOWN!!!

- James

I think it was with Shin Akuma. Shin Akuma can Combo into his Raging Demon off of anything. It's HELLA broken. Jump, Meaty Air Fireball, Raging Demon. If they get hit by the Raging Demon, it Combos. If they BLOCK THE AIR FIREBALL, you grab them out of Block Stun. If you knock them down and Raging De...

You've got to know your chicken.

Heh. On that Kyo Combo Video thing, I had absolutely no idea the other Kyo Combo Video even existed until the day both videos were posted. I was a little perturbed by it, because if I had known there was gonna be some contest-y thing going on, I would have tried harder. My video was easily less impr...

Pretty much all asian girl music ever. Shit is ridiculous. I'm sick of pasty white mokes always putting crappily clipped together vids to random J-pop music, it's like the video equivalent of their fractured, pockmarked psyches. My screen feels dirty every time I have to sit through one of those. N...

See, now this is what a Tutorial vid should be like. This was actually really cool to see.

- James

To be honest, I actually really have a low interest in videos that show repeated mixups. Because in almost every 2-D fighting game, there are five mixups: Low Left, Low Right, High Left, High Right, and throw. And when they are all stitched together in such a fast pace, eventually, the viewer stops ...

"I need to get a feel for incorporating transitions other than cross dissovle, additive dissolve, and fade to black." To be honest, laugh, that is what you should use for 95% of your transitions. Your video is one where the clips matter: its content is important (you have some cool things ...

I thought of another one recently... Please don't use Yakety Sax in combo videos that are meant to be funny or that show off glitches anymore (most people will know it as the Benny Hill theme song). I've seen it done sooo many times now that the novelty of it has worn way off (sorry Magnetro... ^_^)...

I don't know what took more skill... making that ASCII art, or somersaulting up a vertical wall.

And I'm glad I'm the only one made to sound so old here. *sigh* Probably because I am the only one who is so old here.

Holy crap. Frame... stepping?!?!?!? In WMP?!?!?

I dunno if it is sad or not that this news makes me so happy. This will be immensely useful.

- James

So much for my plea.

- James

So we beat Dallas, best team in the league, to end their 13-game win streak.

Please, please, please, please don't lose to Memphis today, worst team in the league. This always seems to happen to us. Damn Charlotte...

I'm stuck on FFXII. Yes, I'm a Final Fantasy junkie. I played so much yesterday, I spent the entire night dreaming about License boards.

Honestly, I htink that's why the Japanese Combo Videos are in general "better" than the ones in America. They've been long experimenting with programmable sticks and stuff, so they are forced to come up with crazy stuff. Kysg and Zerokoubou are good examples. If we get to that point here, ...
