OHN8 VF5 IRON KUMITE

lmao good video man

 

Nice one good idea to get people to play vf , maybe we can try something similar here at one of our upcoming events..

 

Woo, how'd you fare in the tournies Myke?

 

Lau with his special mid punchstring starter... just made for these occasions lol. Nice try at promoting..Ive thought about doing the exact same thing sometimes.

ps. You should really go for throw punishments when you could instead of PK.. I find it hard to believe the opponent would have escaped them

 

Nice Akira Myke! It's a shame that only 3 people took up the challenge though.

 

Thanks for sharing Myke. I'm sadden even at the opportunity for free money only 3 people entered. Still though it was an awesome attempt at promoting the game. Good luck next time!

 

Wow, that is such a cool idea. Good stuff Myke.

 

You would think money is a motivator, but sometimes it has the opposite effect. Dojo Chiquanshu sponsors 2-3 tournaments a year. We put up between $200-$500 prize money going to 1rst and 2nd place. When the tournaments are open to the public for some reason they don't join in they just spectate (unless its one of our exhibitions where there is no prize money involved) then people jump in There is never an entry fee to our tournaments, so whenever money is invovled its basically free money if you win.

Our normal players of course play, but the gamers that just show up once they see a $200-$500 prize I think they assume that the game must be really hard, or that the players must be really good and decide not to enter the tournament, its weird, I don't know how to explain it.

We only had one exception and that was a time when most of our crew did not show up for the tournament and we only had two guys, and three 16 year girls in the line up, then people stepped up to be in the tournament (perhaps it was the girls and not the money)

 

I really wish you would film these events. It's not that I doubt their existence - it would just be cool to see them and the hype they could generate.

 

that was awesome, Myke. I really wish you had gotten more attention but just the idea alone was great and maybe...just maybe it will turn into a few more players.

very cool.

 

Will do., Several of us have just finished up Grad School, and we have a lull B4 the real Phd work gets started, So we're looking at doing a tournament sometime between Halloween and Thanksgiving.

We will post pics on http://www.chiquanshu.org and make Dvds available to anyone that wants one.

I don't think it'll generate any hype though, because VF is really perceived as a niche fighter now. It has a slow growing
fanbase. As you know those fans really are sold on the game itself. VFers don't need the hype of others playing the game to convince them the game is worth playin.

What I am worried about though is it will be my first tournament using the stick (that is if I have the courage to go through with it) I was only mediocre on the pad, I picked up the stick and immediately gained 10 new skills and lost 100 old ones

 

GOOD! Make a post on VFDC and invite people! Steal ideas from my event and bring the hype!

 

Soon as we pick a firm date will do...

 

lol why is feng wei at the VF dojo event flyer?

 

Feng Wei is my boy! I been tellin yall that I'm down with Tekken and Soul Calibur. I rate them very very high as fighters. I just consider VF to be better and VF mastery requires just a modicum more sophistication to achieve than Soul Calibur, or Tekken.

But Feng Wei's Kempo is awesome.
