That ST Gouki TAS was actually really entertaining. I'll give a nigga some props.

I think in XSF, you could probably make a good speed run with any character. The game is diverse and open-ended enough to allow for all kinds of crazy stuff.

But if I were doing the TAS myself, I would probably avoid ...

Weird. I remember Mike Z (I think?) showed something similar with Metal Zangief. Because his dash is so slow, you could keep him off screen after he set FS. (Or something like that?)

Somewhere during the mid-screen infinite, he must have hit the opponent on the last frame of hit-stun, causing FSD.

Hah! Good stuff.

I don't mind translating, but a big-ass company like ASCII will certainly have at least one English-speaking person on-hand.

nice, the other day I realized you can do ground moves in the air in msh vs sf by sending the opponent flying while flying.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you can do this in XSF too. (Featured in NKI Volume XI , at 2:55. Dic does a team super while flying, which causes the weird slowdown on ...

God damnit...

So as with everything else on Sonic Hurricane, I'm 6 months late in seeing this, but if there's anything I can do to help out, please let me know. I <3 dogface to death, and competitive SF does not deserve the crappy coverage it's gotten so far.

So I'm hella late, but I just wanted to say that this thread is awesome. Tons of good info. Thanks for all the work, Neophos!

When you get down and dirty and take a look at all the inner workings of old school SF games, it really is a miracle that they are playable on a competitive level. Either ...

Personally, I hate online play, and I will never stop going to tournaments.

For the Dreamcast versions of MvC2, 3S, ST, and CvS2, another option is to download a copy of TDC Final v2 by Toodles. After selecting the game you want to play, it let's you choose what game's music you want to use, or you can turn off the music completely.

Maj - Besides T-Akiba, I honestly don't think anyone is playing it. Most of those fools don't own any consoles.

Xenozip. - I dunno. Can you point me to a few threads/blogs to check out?

Hrm...I'm not really sure. It seems like they have no sense of community over there. I could be wrong, but it's like each person is in his own little world. I've never seen the Japanese equivalent to gamecombos.com, or sonichurricane.com, or any kind of video site. <shrug>

I'm not sure whether or not people actually resell combo DVD's, but I'm assuming so. I don't know why else he would've mentioned that. [shrug]

UUUUUuuugggghhhh...sorry this took so long.

If it's any consolation, T-7 was a LOT nicer than kysg.

1) Did you have any connections with SAI-REC? There is a lot of similarity between your videos and theirs.
SAI-RECのビデオが途中で終わっていて残念に思っていたので、SAI-RECに尊敬と感謝の思いをこめて作りました

I appreciate your thoroughness.

I know, right?

I heard back from T-7 in regards to all those questions you had. It'll take me a bit to translate it all, so in the meantime, here's the reply from 538:

私は相も変わらず、英語がからきしダメな奴なのです。申し訳ない。
Once again, I must apologize...I can't speak English at all.

念のため触れておくと、私は只の一度もSF4をプレイしてません（笑 ...

Yeah, I just made that up. It looks like he's playing hopscotch while trotting like a horse. At least that's the way I see it in my mind...

EL OH EL!!!

Dictator lookin hella silly in that second pic! He doin the hopscotch trot.

NICE!!!

Actually I found him on Mixi, so I might be able to get answers to those questions after all!

Yeah, from a programming stand-point, "hit on the last frame" and "throw on the last frame" are pretty much the same, but I think it's worth breaking them out separately because I don't know that people would intuitively think that throwing works, if all you say is "hit on the last frame".

And in ...

That's the cold shoulder!!

CRAZY!!

And I'm really glad you captured that frame of SSF2 Dic's Devil's Reverse. I bet most people have never seen that before, and probably never knew it existed.

I think for me it was a combination of two things:

1) Just in general, I'm quite curious and I love to understand/figure out how things work. When I first saw TZW and Skill Smith videos, my reaction wasn't just, "Whoa, that's crazy"...it was more like "Whoa, that's crazy, and I gotta know how he ...

Hahahahahahaha...damn that was funny to me.

I liked them.

I even liked some of the ones involving ugly-ass SNK games!

Magnetro could be right if it's simply that "laying on the ground for a long time" causes FSD, and not the actual OTG itself.

I guess that would make sense, too. If they programmed a rule that FS ends after you've been laying on the ground for 60 frames, but then they accidentally made a move that ...

Are you sure about that? I just noticed that in Joo's DVD preview, he does a Captain America combo at 3:40 which suggests to me that it's the trip, not the OTG, that is causing FSD.

He sets FS, trips Roll out of the air, then he OTG's with Stars & Stripes, which is a special move. So that means FS ...

OK, so you may be thinking, "Why does it take him nearly three weeks to translate a couple of paragraphs?" It's not that it takes me three weeks to translate a couple of paragraphs; it's that it takes me three weeks to amass enough free time to translate a couple of paragraphs. :sad:
