Re: ShinZ in Japan 4/12/02

Ya that is what I thought. I mean if Shinz is playing mainly on Ver b.... it will be REALLY tough, depending on who you use, to adapt to Ver C. I mean a LOT of the major moves of the characters have changed.

 

Re: ShinZ in Japan 4/12/02

True, and Akira was weakened quite a bit in Ver. C I remember.

 

Re: ShinZ in Japan 4/12/02

Don't the Korean import PS2 with version C ?

I thought the 100 kumite thing is done with 10 different characters in VF2 days.

So Shinz going to do 100 kumite with several more characters ?

 

Re: ShinZ in Japan 4/12/02

Direct quote from CYC (in Japanese) (He almost sounds like a fanboy himself. He says if it was "normal/usual" AK would have gotten 90% win rate.)

Wrong translation.

The result for AkiraKid's 100-person kumite was 81 wins & 19 losses. Watching how he uses his Akira, he probably would have made 90%. But he had an uphill battle because 1) he was not used to Ver. C 2) several high level players played multiple times. Anyway, this is just a brief summary. More detailed account of the event is to follow.

 

Re: ShinZ in Japan 4/12/02

Last time I remember hearing about 100-men kumite was back in VF2 days and early VF3 days.

Incorrect. Again as a part of marketing effort, SEGA seemed to have revived the 100-person kumite since VF4's release. There seems to be at least one Kumite per week throughout Japan. Kyasao, BunBun and Chibita are the three designated players for the kumite.

You can some of the past results at the following:

Sorry you have to nivigate through each diary entry to see the all past records.

 

More translations....

I'm just that impressed with AkiraKid's maneuver...a pure talent. He's also got incredible reflexes too. I hope that they get used to Ver. C before they head out to Tokyo.

I'm looking for tomorrow's main event 3on3 tournament. In the past, invitational team always won the tournament, so I hope that locals will do better this time.

They also seemed much more relaxed when they aren't played for the tournament (or kumite), and they've had quite an impressive winning streaks. It's too bad that their Dans do not improve as fast, as people of the same Dan are hard to come by.

Re: Translation 2

If it was a round robin tourney, there were 10 people in the tournament going by your stats. 11 people, if Shota's are correct.

Do you know who the third member of the ShinZ/Moonsuk team will be when they do the 3-on-3 team battle?

 

3 on 3 result

3 on 3 result

1st TEAM REPLAYS (korean team)

Re: 3 on 3 result

I think this is Korea's revenge for wwII occupation

 

Re: 3 on 3 result

uggh.... let's not get into that here...

 

more recent news about Shinz and his gang...

Before I go into this, I gotta tell you that my post will be just a translation of the post which was posted at nomercy. So, don't flame me that I am biased or something like that because this post has nothing to do with my nationality. Of course, I am a big fan of Shinz as you can see from my id. However, the reason I like Shinz is not because he is from the same country but because I love his style of playing. I am also a big fan of Chibita because I love his style of Lion. And my English is not perfect, so let me know if you don't like my English. I will never post again because my English will be never perfect since I am not born in English speaking country. Now, I am too sensitive about posting here? Enough this already!!!

Okay. They are now at Kanispo.
(The spelling of names may not be correct)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Dan Akira (moonsuk): defeated AoPai and Mukky Akira, but lose consecutively to PKAkira.

ShinZ against Tokyo Group ( Mukky Akira, Muscle Sarah, Guerrilla(Lau), AoPai, Shu, Joe, Kurita, PKAkira, Mask)

First, Shinz's 4 Dan Lion: As soon as the game started, he did his step, but lost.
After that, he won using his 4 Dan Jacky, but after that lost to Mukky. And he used some other characters. Especially his Lau was strong.

Shinz's 1 Dan Lei (60 wins, 7 losses): defeated Guerrilla (Lau) and Mukky Akira. Also had a good game against Joe (Lei) ?not sure he won or not.

In conclusion, Shinz and his brother must be at least Emperor rank. If they got used to version c, they might be a lot stronger. Shinz's step was splendid.

And Shinz's lion won around 30 consecutive at Kanispo.

Kasao, Neotower and Chibita didn't come.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More news will come later...

 

Nice. Thanks for the translation! Hopefully we'll get to see some movies from ShinZ's visit to Kanispo soon...

 

yeah, really, thanks AkiraKidWannaBe for all the news, actually. It's kind of sad, but I'm super interested in this story. Getting a day by day is great!

I too love Chibita's Lion, so I can't wait to see ShinZ vs. Chibita sometime soon. Maybe Friday night? I hope someone makes movies!
