VFDC Community Combo Video Idea: Taka Must Die

Kamaage said it best: "Taka must die."

What's up VFDC? I had an idea of making a traditional multi-character cmv for all characters showcasing combos against Taka since he doesn't float the same way as the rest of the cast and you rarely see combos against him. The video is intended to showcase any combination of practicality, high damage, flash, or anything that looks ridiculous as I'm sure there are plenty of options that work only against him and no one else. For such an ambitious project (and the fact that I don't play every character), I would like to enlist your help.

How I'd Like This to Work:
Everyone is welcome to submit material. If you can record the combo, send it to me and I'll try to record it myself. I would to record the clips myself for editing purposes since not everyone uses the same recording equipment, software, and settings and I've seen other community cmvs that don't look so hot because the clips were all recorded by different people and the final video was pretty jarring to watch.

If you can't record it, then send me the notations and some additional details and I'll try to perform it myself and then record it. So far the only move I can't perform consistently is Akira's knee. x_X But I'd like to believe I can perform the combos given the notation and the right conditions.

As a heads up, I don't have any HD capture equipment or software, but I can post samples here to see if the quality is acceptable once it gets moving.

I'd prefer not to place too many heavy restrictions on this as to what can/can't go into the project, but I intend to consult this thread frequently to update this post.

Template for Submissions:
Use the following when submitting material:

Inputs: the inputs for the combo. If a CH is required to start, put it at the beginning. Also try to notate when a wall hit occurs.
Damage: self-explanatory
# of Hits: self-explanatory
Notes: any details you would like to add such as ring positioning or anything else that requires special attention.

Status:
This section will list all the characters' names and which members will be contributing for that character. I'd like to say that 3 to 5-ish combos per character would be a good number but that is subject to change.

well, i think i can come up with something here

 

Also adding every situation where taka can't tech roll fast enough to avoid follow up hits that would not work on other characters as well as situations where taka must tech in order to avoid additional combos that would not work on other characters too.

 

First post has been updated, see "Status" section.

@Chibiaya: Looking forward to it! I'd like to enlist you and BolverkGTM for Jacky material if you're ok with it.

@MarlyJay: I've actually thought about that too and I've recently started compiling a list of strings that work on NH and MC, didn't get to mC though. What's the best way to test for mC?

@Tricky: This is interesting. Though including every situation might make for a super long video. :V I'll leave it up to the character specialists and see how it goes once the material starts rolling in.

 

Do a move that puts taka at a very high disadvantage and use a move that's exe is less than taka's disadvantage. You'll get a minor counter hit.

 

I'll record a bunch of stuff on my twitch.tv for Lau combos. I'll just link you the video and the notation or somethin.

 

Me and Chibiaya teaming up for Jacky material again? I'd be completely down with that.

 

@Johoseph, @BolverkGTM: good to have you guys on board.

I've updated the first post with the template for submitting material.

Be sure to inform anyone else who might be interested in participating about this.

 

I posted most of the stuff I could find on the Kage combo thread in a single post. Go ahead and use that stuff if it is helpful.

 

I can do Jean : ).

 

I'll help out with eileen

 

Which console will you use for recording?

 

PS3

 

Then I may add some combos for Akira and Wolf)

 

What's the rule on staggers ?

 

Those are allowed.

 

Breakeable within reason or just go straight into the red territory ?

 

You can allow it to go into red territory. I don't see much reason to restrict them unless the consensus agrees to do so.
