I’ve been working on a fairly elaborate mutli-game combo video for the past year, with hopes of finishing it by August. Looks like i’m going to end up cutting it close, but i should be able to make it. If all goes well, the final video will be premiered on the big screen at Evo World in Las Vegas.
Let me know what you think. Hopefully this will give people yet another reason to show up to Evo. Not that there’s any shortage of reasons with all the hype building up this year …
Right off the bat, there should be 2 glaring questions.
In the CvS2 combo, S-Guile vs. King, you throw a sonic boom, then walk forward and throw another sonic boom. I take it this is like charge storing? similar to chun li super in ST? What I don’t get is why you get to walk forward so long. I thought inputs had 2 frame leniency, so if you charge back then walk forward+P you’d get to walk forward for 2 frames max before the inputs deregistered.
The second one is definitely the walk forward flash kick. My only guess is that for some odd reason, while blanka while jumping with a sonic boom on the screen allows you to walk forward with offensive crouch. But that’s pretty wild.
it looked like the CvS2 combo was done with EO mode, so no charge would be required for Sonic Booms there. and the Guile vs. Blanka combo in Honda’s stage was done in SF2 WW, where you get a special move randomly sometimes for pushing a button (i think it was like 1/256 chance?). really nice preview, and i want to see the rest of the video.
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Youtube would rape the video quality like you wouldn’t believe. I’m sure someone will eventually upload it to youtube since random people have posted all my old vids on there. But i’m kinda proud of the way it turned out cuz i’m really not very good at video production/editing. I wanna enjoy my victory for a minute before it shows up on blurtube. Thanks to everyone who went through the trouble of installing the x264 codec. It’s really quite amazing and you’re going to be seeing a lot more people using it for their vids in the near future.
Phoenix Fury explained pretty much everything. I apologize for not posting explanations, but belive it or not, those writeups on my website take a really long time to finish. Right now i can’t spare that much time, plus it’s a trailer. It’s supposed to be all mysterious and shit.
The first 100% damage combo is in fact CvS2EO. You can tell because of the EO logo right under Guile’s portrait. Also because i redid that combo a bunch of times until i got Guile to say “Easy Operation!”
yeah man, the quality vs file size was awesome. i didnt have to install any codecs. god bless vlc player =). good stuff with the ww guile standing flash kick glitch. love that trick
Wow, i think you just erased a part of my soul using a blur filter. How the hell am i supposed to get it back now? All i can say is, it better not have been an important part. If i end up unconsciously using Sandstorm as the soundtrack of my next video, i’m gonna be hella grumpy the day after. Then i’m gonna take all your vids and dub them with midi versions of the Titanic soundtrack and post them on youtube.
Seriously though, on top of making it blurry as fuck, youtube also cut the framerate in half! Google needs to step it up.
On a slightly less depressing note, the SRK mainframe AI matrix finally thinks i’m “knowledgeable”! After “moving up the chain” for countless months, i finally moved up the chain!
I can take it down if you want, but I don’t think it’ll get much better than that. I re-encoded it a few different ways to test, but youtube is just generally funky.
There’s a VFW plugin for VirtualDub that lets you do it. I’m not sure if it’s as good as the command line version, but i gave up on that route. Here’s everything you need:
I did two-pass encode using all the standard/recommended settings. The only thing i changed was the target bitrate.
Nah it’s cool. This is the first chance i’ve ever had to be elitist about video quality so i acted out the obligatory outrage. Come on, the Titanic midi line was funny, right?
Actually i was thinking about maybe making an mpeg version for the people too lazy to figure out the x264 stuff, but i really didn’t want to have to do that. Having it on youtube saves me the trouble. Thanks for the extra exposure and such. It’s got 47 views already!
