Daigo Umehara shot to fame in 1998 after winning the official Capcom Street Fighter Alpha 3 national tournament in Japan. As the tournament champion, he then went on to face Alex Valle, the winner of the U.S. national tournament. This final showdown was held in San Francisco on November 8, 1998. The final was played as best out of three games, with each game consisting of up to five rounds. Daigo won the finals 2-1.

He was later seen again in an exhibition “rematch” in Japan. American players fought in four games (Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike and Marvel vs. Capcom 2) for the right to battle Japan’s best players in those respective games. Daigo only entered the 3rd Strike exhibition, but defeated all of his opponents, ending each round with Ken’s fierce Shoryuken.

These events were filmed for a documentary entitled Bang the Machine.

Yep… I reeeeeeally wanna see that video.

[Darkshine]

If I ever go to Evo, I am SO illegally filming this.

I don’t think there’s a forum rule against me saying that.

>_>

I uploaded some of the Bang The Machine clips I had saved on my computer. The first clip apparently hasn’t processed through yet, but it should be up pretty soon. (Posted this in the video thread in GD too for anyone who doesn’t follow the FG section)

[KING]

uhm, did you guys ever think that the reason why they don’t release BTM is that the pirate-fags will just rip the DVD and post it for download for FREE?

all that hard work just for FREE? fuck that shit.

keep it in the vault for special occasions.

[goodm0urning]

I would pay a lot of money for this film. I would never pirate it, by penalty of silverback gorilla assrape. I would be willing to sign to these terms in a notarized contract.

This documentary was made during what I think of as my golden age of gaming, so I have been interested in seeing it for years.

[Digitalbooty]

Would you rather have NO ONE see your film and make no money or have anyone who wants to access the film be able to see it and acclaim it and make no money? I’m not saying I want to pirate it, because I’d DEFINITLY purchase a copy if it was availabe, but come on man! It was finished in 02! I want to see that shit and so do a lot of other people. Anyone know a way to get ahold of anyone involved with the making of the project, yet?

[The_Electrifying_One]

I’ve been waiting since 2000 to see it lol. Been here for a long time, seen countless Bang the Machine threads, always ends the same way sadly with nothing much happening and the thread just getting forgotten. In a time when arcades are dead it’d be nice to have it released so that the younger generation can see what it was like, and for the older guys to have something to remember.

QFT.

For those that don’t know: BTM never got a proper commercial release. It was screened at a few specialist events, but has never been available to buy or to reproduce.

The only way to see it is for somebody with the footage to screen it for you, so you would need to either know the team who made the film, or be around if/when admins can screen it. They have said before that, if ever, this would only be at big community events like Evo or a foreign equivalent.

[MrWizard]

We screen it every few years. We screened it in 2002, then 2005, possibly 2008. Only time will tell.

I was hearing rumors a year or two ago that some/all of the footage was lost in a fire, any credence to that?

EDIT: Damn you Mr.Wizard, too fast, lol. Well atleast that alleviates my fears that the footage was lost forever.

[versus_addict]

…well, after seeing the clips it makes sense that it wasn’t released. I thought it was gonna be some hot shit…fail.

(can I get a copy?)
