Aee a very young shinz kick some ass.
This was a very large VF3 tournament and shinz won the international segment of it I believe... I don't think he had to face kyasao and the gang due to the way the tournament was set up (japanese and non japanese players were in separate tournaments) but rumor has it he did very well in post-tournament play.

quick edit: I converted to a good quality wmv for those who want less (?!) download time or disk space wasted. 77 megs vs mpeg's 200ish.

 

hmm... so tempted, but my PC will die on me.. 0_0

could u post the link to the wmv version too just in case? what's the quality like in comparison? .. i have'nt seen top VF3 play since the old interface to VFDC, lol.

edit: what DID happen to all those movies anywayz?...

 

Hey...the wmv is only on my PC, tho a few ppl have snagged it from me and may be able to host it somewhere.

In the meantime the only way to grab it from me is via irc or icq... and icq flakes out a lot for file xfers, at least for me.

Quality wise it's great, 95% of the original mpeg's quality if you compare side by side frames. In motion there really isn't a difference.

 

God that tournament was really lame, EVERY match had at least one lau in it, grrrr . But thanks for putting it up though, ive been looking for some vf3 videos, I'd like to see some videos of taka in action, know where i could see some ?

 

The lau you're seeing is the same one - Ige Lau, which translates roughly to "is this lau?" ... he was considered weird back in the day for not doing what all the other lau players do, EG he used lots of elbow-palm and tried to pounce after P+G throws.
Since you're watching the top players get slowly eliminated one by one until the finals, that's why you see lots of ige lau and akira kid.

 

lol! taka vs aoi combos i remember make me roll around laughing! i mean, how many times can he rise her OTG with +? i could never perform any tho... meh, i miss the old VFDC with their exellent VF3 movies, heck i'd buy them if they were on sale!

 

sweet vid, shinz loves dancing doesnt he....

i need the VF vocal tracks like at the end of that video though.... cant find em anywhere /versus/images/icons/frown.gif

 

I may have them, if you can give me a place to send them to. I'll have to double check.

 

ill go to #vfhome

 

Excellent video. I thought it was very entertaining right to the end. I also love mpegs because you can skip around instantly and also mpegs never have audio/video sync problems.

 

The skipping around quickly is nice for mpegs, but I've never run into audio/video sync issues in the other formats, unless the person making the movie screwed up. Thankfully it's possible to go back and forth between the formats...

If you ever do have trouble with playing movies, or synching issues, or want to know about converting from one format to another, please let me know.

 

what year did this take place?

 

dunno, near the end/middle of VF3's popularity. Few years ago.

 

I believe it was in 1997 if I remember correctly
