I Got Next | A Documentary on the Fighting Game Scene

No, I’m not but thanks for asking. :cool:

I swear to God Ian, if you don’t make the Daigo vs. Justin grand finals match like edge of the seat, nail biting intense, you either got the worst footage ever or you just suck at editing :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously though, can you think of a better way for this thing to end?

Gootecks said he got 17. place in the Evo tournament, that still put him in the top 1% of the players. He’s still up there even though he didn’t win.

go back to guam.

/end troll:shy:

Ian knows what he is doing people. The finished version of this movie will be epic! I’m a movie star now. :lol: :rolleyes:

hope he goes to SBO and collect more footage, then the movie adds in more layers of awesome for people to watch

I just watched it again. There is one line in the movie where Mike Ross says

“…and then it’s gonna be a race to see which coast can get better and which coast will be able to not get embarrassed by Japan”

I think it would be a good idea to put more emphasis on this statement. It’d be cool to see the guys not only talk about the internal rivalry, but the one against Japan as well. Beating the Japanese at Marvel doesn’t mean anything to these guys, but beating them at 3rd Strike or SF4 would be a very big deal since an American has never won a SF3/SF4 singles tournament in the history of EVO(yes I know there has only been 1 SF4 tourney so far).

All that could culminate in the final showdown between Justin and Daigo. And should set the stage for a even bigger Evo in 2010 with hopefully more Japanese coming which could mean a team exhibition between the two countries as well.

I’m sure Ian’s final cut will be great, I just wanted to throw my own thoughts in there.

is there a release date for the full cut yet guys ?

goo question :slight_smile:

yea as other ppl said already

itll be a good way to smooth the documentary over if the final cut leads up to the fight with japan

like the short cut was just the fight within and now the final cut with Evo will have an even BIGGER threat…yea the EC vs WC isnt as great as it shouldve been but hey Edma placing 3rd isnt that bad and itll just say that in the end both coasts did there best in the long run but in the grand finals you should show the crowd and emphasis how much everyone joined together to cheer on justin in the finals especially after he put Daigo on the ropes

wow i really wanna watch this is there a dvd release coming out soon?

(it’s great the fighting game community is evolving the way it is, “niche market” my balls)

I was surprised to see how many Standard Definition TV’s were being used at all the tournaments. I guess other people besides me can’t afford HD yet.

I don’t think the price is the main problem. HD tv’s tend to have a considerable amount of lag which doesn’t matter with most games but with a fighting game where you have 1 frame links, a few ms of lag makes a big difference.

i think you have hit the preverbial nail on the head sir…

Someone doesn’t understand what sarcasm is.

/end to literacy in America.

I have an HD tube tv last of its kind that has no lag but the glass is so heavy it takes two people to lift it. But its cool looking at all the different TVs at tournaments. Some have the wood grain with the buttons on the top or side…

that. was. sick.

props inserted that really made my day !

Just got done watching and I gotta say that was some great stuff. Great insight into the minds of some of the most well known players. Can’t wait to see the new ver.

ian you still need money? your slice of my next paycheck has been long overdue. keep working hard to make this shit a truly epic documentary that can define this community to the mainstream for the next decade.

I cant wait for the long cut of this. The lead up to the rumble with Japan will be epic. I think video from Evo, showing just how big it was will really help bring the whole thing in to perspective.
