Today’s guest on the Wakeup, Shoryuken podcast was none other than desk – everyone’s favorite combo maker / musician. Check it out!
Wakeup, Shoryuken E051 – Desk: Top Publishing
The podcast runs for roughly forty-eight minutes and covers a wide range of topics including both combovids and tournament play. It’s pretty cool to see a combo maker get this kind of exposure on such a popular and well-respected stage.
Today happens to mark the one-year anniversary of the official release of Joo’s Marvel vs Capcom 2 Combo Collection DVD – containing 130 unbelievably technical combos, featuring every character in the game, and representing over five years of research and perseverance. Please join us in watching it one more time and leave a comment sharing your favorite combo!
notes:
This project demonstrates what’s possible in MvC2 when both an exhaustive scientific approach and programmable controllers are employed. There are approximately 35 minutes of combos, one hour of game engine tutorials, and two hours of combo commentary content.
Does isedelica have a new team? He’s kept Dante, but replaced Tron and Super Skrull with Iron Man and Chris. More crazy combos and more Dante moves i’ve never seen before!
highlights:
MvC3 Iron Man air throw to triple-OTG at 0:18, Chris air OTG loop insanity vs Tron and Spencer at 0:40, Dante meterless corner touch-of-death at 1:58, and Dante stylish KO at 2:07

Originally released back in 2005 as a “100,000 Hit Memorial” for the KYSG Movie Page, this reuploaded Capcom Fighting Evolution combovid is an absolute classic. It’s amazing to see a combo system utterly dismantled in this fashion, whether or not you like the game itself.
highlights:
CFE Pyron zigzag rolling attack juggle at 1:35, Felicia OTG interrupt followup at 2:28, Yun pushing buttons at 3:15, Kenji double Rasetsu Jin at 3:49, Rose double sweep juggle at 5:21, Guy stylish KO at 6:21, Demitri double Demon Billion KO at 8:22, Guile advanced parry charge tricks at 8:59, and everything from 9:04 onward

Here’s a brand new episode of majijam’s amazing King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match “Team Death Combo Movie” series. The ’97 Special team (featuring Yamazki, Blue Mary, and Billy) and the Fatal Fury team (featuring Joe, Andy, and Terry) are spotlighted.
highlights:
KoF2k2UM Yamazaki ghettokick frenzy at 0:45, Blue Mary classic at 1:03, Billy corner exit vacuum twirl at 1:23, Joe one-hit Tiger Kick super at 2:13, Andy waveform combo at 2:31, and Terry triple-super at 2:57

While everyone already considers Ryu a low-tier character in Marvel vs Capcom 3, that certainly doesn’t mean he can’t deal massive damage if given an opening. (Isn’t it amazing how Ryu has been in five Marvel games, yet never once made it into top tier?)
highlights:
MvC3 Ryu double-wavedash juggle at 1:30 of part one, Ryu vertical Shinkuu starter at 0:01 of part two, Ryu triple-super at 1:00 of part two, and Ryu double-ShinSho at 0:44 of part three

Background music – the eternal mortal enemy of combo video makers everywhere. It certainly has been the bane of my existence over the past four years. And what better way to treat my anguish than to give you all the opportunity to profit from it. See, that way it’s not for nothing.
Street Fighter
Problem: In the (MAME) arcade version, one of two sound channels handles sound effects while the other predominantly handles music. Unfortunately, some of the sound effects such as the impact noise and the kick whooshing sound come through the music channel. Therefore, muting the music channel leaves the sound effects sounding flat.
Solution: PS2/Xbox Capcom Classics Collection 2 includes a version of SF1 with an audio option menu which lets you adjust music and sound effects levels individually. It’s not available from the main menu before loading the game, so it’s easy to miss. You have to load SF1 and then press Select to bring up the Pause Menu. Access Audio Setup to take Music Volume all the way down while leaving SFX Volume alone.
A couple of days ago, Snoooootch unveiled this Super Street Fighter IV combo challenge to determine who will win the unique prize of a custom hand-drawn charcoal illustration. The contest will remain open through the end of February, so give it a shot.
notes:
Be sure to read the rules carefully because there are two different variations of this challenge, and check out the existing responses to avoid submitting a duplicate.
Marvel vs Capcom 3 looks so much better in Versus Mode than it does in Training Mode. Luckily, desk’s amazing execution (and dedication to aesthetics) are here to save the day!
highlights:
MvC3 Magneto double-lvl3 touch of death at 0:58, Captain America midscreen quad-shield at 1:43, Ryu double-SRK Seth-killer combo at 1:58, Sentinel mashing kicks at 2:16, Viper midscreen insanity at 2:46, and Akuma air Hurricane Kick infinites at 3:04

One of the coolest things about MvC3’s combo system being so flexible and open-ended is that there’s too much to absorb at first glance. Everyone’s forced to start off by picking characters almost blindly and trying to make the best of them. Dante/SuperSkrull/Tron seems to be isedelica’s team, and he’s certainly getting his money’s worth.
highlights:
MvC3 Dante air-to-ground madness at 0:44, Super Skrull OTG carnival at 1:43, and Tron corner everything-in-the-manual combo at 2:10
