So you just let Maj win? Bullshit, I want my money back. That shit woulda been EPIC.
Yeah man, i don’t know if you know exactly what you’re getting into here, maybe you do, but just in case you don’t …
Messing with Salty Chen is not the best idea, or really the safest idea, you know in terms of your continued health. So personally i wouldn’t recommend it, but hey it’s your call.
Not my battle, you’d have to deal with him. =p All it’d take is a few choice edited posts, and a completely BSed youtube vid to get that THE Maj vs. Salty Chen beef money match going like <insert Marvel Beef Thread here>.
Wowsers, straight up Scan tactics! Instigate xx tag out.
Combo Transcript/Guide:
For most people instigation is a super move, so if someone parries then they get owned up. But for certain top tier individuals, instigation is a normal move which means they can cancel into a safe super such as: Instigation xx /mode +m or Instigation xx /mode +b xx /kick. They can also hit confirm cancel into more damage, such as: Instigation xx post AIM log xx bribe Wizard with McRibs.
For those of you who are new to SRK, here are some warning signs to help you bail out before it gets crazy. Watch out for the following words and phrases:
- money
- beef
- epic
- hype
- hype beef money match thread
- du ma
- Marvel
Also if you hear what sounds like a cup of tokens hitting the floor, get under a table and cover your head cuz somebody (named Watson) is about to throw a metal chair.
wow. I’m fuckin crying over here lmao
damn kaneda linked me to this and i was looking for DAT BEEF between Maj and Jchen. :sad:
get antihype
I was wondering why all my searches were taking me to this thread. And now I know why.
So, … i’m a little hesitant to ask this but i figure what the hell …
What did you guys think of the hip hop track playing through the intro?
not bad… needed to be mixed better, felt a little bit out of place, but as a song on its own, not bad
Hated it. :D… I agree with eKin, it was way out of place.
Cool, thanks for the honest feedback. What made it seem out of place? That it was a hip hop track in a combo video?
Cuz i thought i’d give it a try, even though hip hop is really difficult to mesh with game sounds. Of course the easiest stuff to use in a combo video is instrumental techno or melodic rock music, and some dude talking on top of a beat is basically the opposite of that.
But i think it could work if you balance it right, and i’m actually happier with way that track meshed with the intro than i am with the rest of the music in the whole video. Also i was going to include an RJD2 track (Chicken-Bone Circuit) for one of the combo segments but i couldn’t get it to sound clear enough without making it way too loud.
The mixing part … yeah, you’re right. Though i think it turned out pretty good for the two days they had to put together. Less than 8 hours if you just count the free time they had to spend on it. Any specific advice or anything you’d do different?
I was hoping more people would comment on it so i’d have something to tell 'em. Since the video premiered, nobody has said anything one way or the other.
nah, i think it was just the mood of the song was too strong for the video. i guess i kinda do have a problem with hiphop in videos though, because its way more in your face and doesnt leave room for evoking mood like other music does (i really loved the rest of music you chose, i like stuff like that). any specific advice, not really, i can’t really fault people for having bad mixing, as unless you’re a sound engineer or have access to one, it’s pretty difficult (and it really shouldn’t necessarily be the job of the beatmaker or emcee)… if they could hook up with an engineer, just that added clarity to the sound would take them far imo
yeah the beginning music was kinda out of place, but i still like the song. all the other music was so spot on! especially the 2nd track where the combos actually started. all eerie sounding, mixed really well with the game sound and the mood of what was going on and the galaxy background. i thought that was awesome
Hm, interesting. I’ll let 'em know what you guys said. Thanks.
When i was picking songs for the video, i went through a whole pile of random stuff across just about every genre there is. Dunno if i got lucky or what, but that Red Stars Theory song worked out the best by far - the one that you liked Sabre. So i just went with that and picked other songs of a similar theme.
What i like most about the music selection is that the Red Stars Theory track gets gradually more spooky, but then the very next track is a lot more reassuring. So the Intermission section is a break from the intense combos and from the creepy music too. Then the CvS section picks up on a more upbeat rock/instrumental track, which carries the video through to the weird SFTM/SvCC freakshow. Classic Guile theme wraps up the video and we’re out.
But i think the intro track really makes the whole thing work because it’s intense right off the bat. I’m a huge fan of chill music but if it slows down your heartbeat enough then you’ll just start daydreaming. So i totally dig the fact that the intro track is “in your face.” I mean without that track being there, i’m sure every single person who watched the video twice in a row would fall asleep. The way it is, you can watch it again and the intro will wake you up. Or just watch the intro again to wake you up then stop the video and go on about your business. That’s what i ended up doing most of the time.
Btw i’m totally aware that i’m overthinking all of this. Music is a big deal to me so i’m just trying to figure out how to get better at making these decisions.
dude, i’ve had hella public screenings of the video for the aus community, and the ill sound effects are enough to keep everyone interested. especially the SFTM ones hahahah
Public screenings? Damn, really? Thanks dude! I really appreciate it even though you’re probably referring to making all your 8-year-old cousins watch it on your notebook computer during someone’s birthday party. In which case “the ill sound effects” is your voice telling em they can’t have cake until the video is done? Children are the future, that’s a fact. Gotta educate em early so they never end up wearing Madden and Halo t-shirts.
Ok what the hell. Over the last two days like 7 different people have given me positive rep via the post above this one. By now this thread is on page three of the FGD index. Page THREE!! How are you people even seeing it?
Lemme break it down for you. Page one represents “Hm, i guess this is news.” Page two means “I remember my dad talking about that thread.” Page three is “My grandpa died fighting in that flame war and he never wrote my grandma any letters so I have no idea who’s telling this story because I sure as hell couldn’t possibly know it even existed.” Seriously, double ewe - tee - eff. This isn’t Back to the Future. Chill out with the time travel Marty.
The other weird thing is, if people are repping me cuz of that post, how come nobody is actually responding in the thread? Is the rep system like SRK’s equivalent to writing secret notes in class and/or leaving poems in other people’s lockers? Someone please explain it to me.
Great posts guys kthxbye! -Maj
P.S. Not hating.
Re: Intro music
I liked it, but it was definitely odd. I feel like the vocal was too loud and the background music not quite loud enough.
Again, sorry it took so long but i finally wrote an article that explains some of the charge tricks used in the video:
It covers all the basics but i left out a lot of subtle tricks cuz i didn’t want to get too specific/confusing.
