    You need to unzip in order to have fun? /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

    P.S: Perhaps this would be better posted under General then under Virtua Fighter media?

    Man, I like this video a lot. A man can be creative with no limit. This stuff's way better than those instant or infinate combo craps to me. Comic relief.

    It all started with the 2 hit combo!

    They premiered this movie at Evo2k4 during the finals and it's a must-see for any fighting game fan, especially if you've played a lot of other fighting games in the past.

    As maddy said, the editing and presentation is highly professional, oozing with creativity and pure class. Definitely a keeper.

    That was an impressive video. Lots of work went into making that thing, and lots of time. I had forgotten about some of those games. Seeing some of them, especially Samurai Showdown 2, made me realize just how far graphics have come on games - much further than I realized.

    There was one thing I didn' t like, though...



    Why did it have to be Ibuki who got 2hit comboed at the very end of the video? *sniffle*

    the only part of the video i found entertaining was the intro.

    the rest of it was well made, however the fact that 90% of the footage was done in practice mode really makes it less than what it should be.

    I'm sure your question is more towards compassion to Ibuki but I'll explain why they choose Ibuki.

    Makoto starts her SA.3 super. It triples her offense in a set time period,(she loses the ability to block attacks). Makoto then launches Ibuki on a counter-hit(for more damage). She cancels the hit into a super jump and finishes Ibuki with her air-axe kick.

    This combo done on Ibuki takes of 100% damage due to her weak defense. It wouldn't have killed any other character I believe.

    Many kudos to James Chen and crew for putting out this video. It took them over 2 years for the time and research to make this.

    Also I like the fact they give tribute to Kao Megura. He wrote several FAQ's for fighting games and I was shocked about his recent passing.

    very good video and very well edited. I was surprised to see Dynasty Warrios in the fray there hehe. I dont think the fact it was done in training mode takes away from this. Doing most of the things in vs mode would have just been more tedious for the same effect .
