Woohoo, more movies :)

http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~kura/ has cycled in three movies this time.

http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~kura/mpeg/kashin.mpg
http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~kura/mpeg/sam_daikoku.mpg
http://www.fsinet.or.jp/~kura/mpeg/daikoku_emaru.mpg

Spod Me Pls: would you do the honors of announcing the players and background info on the movies? Thanks for posting the site in the first place, so greatly appreciated (and was the sole reason I found most of the other movies).

BTW, what is the name of the site (I just call it Kura's site )?

So far I'm seeing a sort of highlight clip of a Taka player, guess he might go by Kashin?

Anyways, for those interested, more arcade movies (three this time), and more insane screaming Japanese (which I swear sounds like they're getting tortured or something in the background).

I think from now on I'll let Spod me Pls continue to cover the clips on this site, he actually knows what's going on hehehe/images/icons/smile.gif

Thanks Chanchai

As for the screaming japanese I just assumed that it was a commentator as one guy in the background is always much louder than the others, has anyone seen a Japanese tourney? Do they have commentators?

 

Oh I'm just joking about the screaming.... it's just ear blistering or something... heheh

Just about all of these, if not all of these, were videotaped on October 1st, so I figure it may be a tournament or something.

Does anyone know what the rest of the name of the player "Mask" is? Maybe my Katakana is off (it just gets confused on some characters), but it seems like "Mask Do Hi-Ji-Te-Tsu" did I get that right? That would be in the "Mask vs. Sam" clip.

Re: Mask the Elbow!

hijitetsuku is Japanese for an elbow (the verb).

Ugh...no. "Hiji" is elbow, "tetsu" iron, and are both nouns. Combined "Hijitetsu" thus means "iron-elbow" and is a noun also. The word is semi-slang and may not be found in a portable-size dictionary.

Hijitetsu spells his handle as "Mask de Hijitetsu", which is a strange combination of English, French and Japanese.

 

oh yeah! dont you love the Daikokucha's Shin-sodan?
that was some great stuff to watch
Kageo's site is called "Manchu-boJackey's" which is his vf clan-name.(
about the video clip,first one,Taka(Kashin) didnt know
that 6P(elbow)-hit-64P+G-3K(foot pounce) is NOT guaranteed
so the crowed(mostly his friends I think) started to mock
him,saying "fume! fume! fume!"="pounce(3K) him! pounce him!"

clip2 Daikokucha(Kage) vs Sam(Jackey)
subtitle: watch for Sam's 6PK which he reacted to
Daikoku's E(twice in the earlygoing).

clip3 Daikokucha vs Ema-ru
subtitle: final round
commentater:
"sa- korede douten ni oitsuku-"="so now he has tied the game"
"sa- kita kita-! mawaru mawaru mawaru mawaru-"="there he goes, roll roll spinning whoohoooo" lol
"kore wa kichi-"="this is tough-" sort of...
"owa-toe Wrist-Lock-!"="wohhh Wrist-Lock-!"
"maniauka-? maniauka-?"=" can he make it? can he make it?(in time)"
this is pretty much it.I hope Kageo'll continue this video
clip update
later

Degraded Play

hmmmmmm
recently, i have began to suspect when a jacky faces a strong opponent, sometimes u really have to just defend, wait for an opponent to stuff up, then go for the elbow heel kick stomp combo.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying how good I am or anything.

I just hope I never have to come to such a stage where elbow heelkick stomp becomes my primary offence technique.

Re: Degraded Play

>i have began to suspect when a jacky faces a strong >opponent, sometimes u really have to just defend , wait >for an opponent to stuff up

oh definately. because as we all know, jacky is pathetically weak and has to rely heavily on those sorts of "techniques" if he ever wants to win.

Re: Degraded Play

bottom line
it depends on the player itself

Personally,as some people here can attest to it, I've always chosen not to depend that move and hardly ever use it

Re: Degraded Play

Well that's your perogetive,I guess Mask HAD to change and adapt his style if he wanted to survive the oh so machi world of Japanese tourney play,I know we all mourn the loss of the fancy pants VFer but would you not change your play style if it allowed you to win tournaments?.

 

Re: Winning tournaments

Not really..no
Cause if i do it, where's the fun in it?
To me, winning is not important.
Sure, my style of plays leads me to TERRIBLE LOSSES 1/2 the time or battles which i SHOULD have won.
But at the end of the day, if I had fun, that's better than winning.
The rest is just gravy.

Re: Degraded Play

>I guess Mask HAD to change and adapt his style if he wanted to survive

he didn't HAVE to.

but that sort of is the kicker with machi. the best way to fight machi is with machi.

anyone at NYG2 may or may not remember a few of my matches with rodney. the sort of play he used disgusted me, and i did not want to play his game. so, i said, "fuck this". and i held G at the beginning of the round and waited. and waited. and waited. the resulting matches looked very much, almost identical to that pathetic japanese kage vs kage round.

this is what's meant by degradation of the game. that kage match and my matches with rodney were the grossest illustrations of it.

and i refuse to believe that words like "evolved" and "subtle" can put to that sort of play. it's not. it's fucking lame.

Re: Degraded Play (here's a contentious topic)

ooh boy. Machi. I will never begrudge anyone playing
safe as I've had to do it from time to time. Back in
OB I had little idea how to combat P, elbow wars (I
was Jeff) and learned to wait for a screw up. That
would be machi.

However. I have played against people whose sole
game plan is to twitch or do nothing. It does bother
me and I'll tell you why. I'm already wasting time
by doing nothing (I'm playing a video game for pity's
sake) why do I want to waste time by doing nothing
inside the game as well as without? Odd's blood!

I don't think Machi is cheap or unethical play I just
think it's a dumb waste of fifty cents (or 30 seconds
if you're playing on a DC).

I've fought in Karate tournaments where my opponent
did very little else but bob up and down, waiting
for something to counter. It's an interesting way
to go about a fight and undoubtedly favours the
bobber since he stays out of range and forces the
opponent to come in (read vulnerable). You can beat
it with fakes. I've also fought against losers who
know how to roundhouse kick and do that all day long
hoping their long legs will keep the opponent away
and maybe score a fluke hit.

I just don't understand it because they're there to
"compete". Compete at what? Waiting, I guess. I'm
not here (or there) to dictate play or define a fight
I'm only saying that it seems at odds to play a game
by observing. It's like living life by watching
tee vee all day. Get in there and mix it up. what
have you got to lose? And in a video game is what you
have to lose so important to you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA/images/icons/laugh.gif
THAT IS SOOO TRUE! especially the part abt wasting time.
This is why i prefer to play with only those I know who won't play machi!

Re: Winning tournaments

point taken,I guess I often play a safety game but to me doing so just makes sense and though it may be seen as boring by some I'm not about to take foolish risks if I don't expect a BIG pay off,having said that I am nowhere near as machi as the guys in the kage vs kage clip but to me the wolf vs jacky clip is very interesting to watch BECAUSE of the fact that they are both using non counterable moves so countering them becomes that much harder (wolf getting low throw after jacky whiff low punch was cool).

 

Re: Degraded Play (here's a contentious topic)

Gosh GE you should put the last two paragraphs from this in an email to those two kage players I'm sure that would fix them right up, failing that we could send them all the posts about how lame machi play is and I'm sure they'll turn over a new leaf.or retire from the VF circuit out of guilt

 

Re: Degraded Play (here's a contentious topic)

hururhm....I suppose that was sarcasm. I
admit I'm not very good at interpeting
netisms.

Whatever the spirit, I'll address it. It
will never be my intention to make anyone
change their play style. that's why it is
*their* play style. Back in the VF2 days
I got into a huge shouting match with
some loser who thought it was cheap that I
would ring him out and punish him for rising
with an attack. This guy was indicitive of
the group of players I like to call "fuck-heads".

They can't play, won't listen and blame you for
the fact that they lose. These are the kind of
guys that *demand* mercy rounds (gah?). They
try and dictate the way the game should be played
(and what a surprise that it should work out in
their favour).

As much as I don't *understand* machi, I would never
try and browbeat a person for doing it or try and
remove it as an option in strategy.

Haha...I guess I will never be able to play you then.
