Join the club, we've got T-shirts.Oh snap. XD
Yeah, it really was awesome, and conclusive. Also, Manly K1 is Manly. Or should I say K?Indeed, good sir.
As for the third season, I think everybody who's watched Kai is wondering the same thing. We'll just have to wait to be sure...
And while we're on the subject of Higurashi...I don't get it... ;_;
Fire at will, gentlemen. Your target's name starts with an 'm'. *uses Kouma's 22B to run away*
Also, G666's specials can be avoided by dashing towards him with most characters, and being above him can do wonders with avoiding attacks.Hehe... The name of the game is don't get hit.
You should probably check with someone more qualified like Akira for the title. I just heard that as a translation from a friend so I'm not all that sureHahah, yeah. I was a bit iffy on going with the name, and then I just thought "the hell with it" and used it. I didn't really make a direct correlation anyway... So maybe I fooled you all and just happened to like the title "Cold Shadow". Of course, voiding that I gave myself away in my first post...
I liked the character intros thing, personally. Even though it did seem kinda drawn out. The combos seemed a bit too similar at points. Singing Nanaya was.... uh... I don't know. Rest of it was good, however.Thanks. =) Like I said, gonna make sure to get more footage of combos to use, rather than having to fill up space.
IMO, you need to watch more combo movies for more influences instead of taking from MTP only.That's true. I guess I tried to make this vid a bit too AMV-ish?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYDrOjUmlqs <- Another combo video using the same song.Ahahaha. I remember this video. So very cool. I'll definitely remember that tip. Don't have to wait for the opponent to recover. But I was still killing space in this video, so... Won't do it again, I promise. When I made SSBM combo videos, me and my friend record for so long that I can get plently of combos and stuff.
Take note of where they cut stuff in the middle of song(look at 2:12 and how the superflashes sync to lyrics), and how combos tend to start almost mid-action and finish before the characters fully recover. This is one way how fluidity is achieved,
As for the pre-fight loading screens..its good but you're definietly overdoing it; it doesn't even sync with the song properly. Same for the pre-fight 'introduction' scenes.Look at this vid for how its done tastefully imo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH-o3m3Y5NU&mode=related&search=) For similar effect you could do fast cuts involving various Nanaya superflashes.It syncs better in the original version, I think. I felt it lag a bit when I uploaded it to youtube.
As for the combos themselves... I guess they're MTP style, bordering on practicality.I can't say he wasn't a big inspiration, hahah.
Its hard to make a combo video without content!:'(
Perhaps you could do some 623c loops or xx j.bc j.bc airdash j.b airthrow stuff? What about counterhit combos? Or choreographed 1p/2p sequences?With the new function in 1.03 that is definitely possible now...orz Need to learn more advanced techniques...
All in all, lots that you can improve. Please do better next time^^Thank you very much, and thanks for your comments!
lol, i really liked it. I thought that was Genius when i saw it.I'm so glad you liked it. Totally made my day. ^_^
The prefight stuff, with the chara intro's and what not were a lil overdone. bit too much IMO.orz
Pretty good for a first vid, i must say o_OThanks! ^_^
...only gripe being how choppy-ish it was.orz
It isn't Melty without Janne Da Arc lolol.Hmm... I like the song Sister and Junky Walker. Hell or Heaven is pretty cool, too, and Mr. Trouble Maker. Hehe, Janne Da Arc has a lot of good songs.
I don't think i've seen a vid use Romance or Love is Here. Although those aren't really 'fast moving' well, Diamond Virgin isn't all too much i guess but, yeah. I'm going off tangent here
Kyuseishu Messiah might make for a good one. Unless somehow, someone used that too.
Here's another combo vid that came up as a related video to one of the ones Karp linked:I have seen this video as well... And while I didn't think of this video when I made mine... I think maybe I did get some subconscious inspiration for the music sync. o.o
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EMqZWpeWpk&mode=related&search=
More syncage of things with the music. (which I'm also betting is where you got some of your inspiration from, song-wise and all)
And a personal favorite of mine (probably because I'm a KohaHisu player and this is a KohaHisu vid) that shows an insane amount of editing and syncage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN6tGuhYQpo
Combo videos are half art and half skill showcase. Either way, it's 100% showing off, so put out the best stuff that you can.
Oh, couldn't you speed up the massive character intro bit at 1:35 so the start of the fight against White Len synced up to the lyrics coming back in?Unfortunately, at this point I can't. I'm at college right now. I made the video on my desktop computer, which I didn't bring to college, rather I'm using my laptop. All the raw files I used to make the video are on the desktop computer, and I didn't transfer them to my laptop because all the raw files together totalled around 10 gigs or something crazy like that. So I only transfered over the finished video, sorry.
Not meaning to go off topic, but son of a bitch, I didn't know Kohaku had invincibility frames during her 22C! *shelves that away for future use lawl*
EDIT: Wait, it's Ver. A... will it still work for Ver. B?
FYI, Windows Movie Maker absolutely sucks for syncing. It's render process isn't good enough.orz
This is from watching tons of videos made by our "video team" at church, and video projects from school.
When I used to toy around with videos, Abode Premiere and Sony Vegas were my weapons of choice. Initially, it was Premiere, but then I lost my old version, and the new one (at that time) was a complete bitch about importing stuff, so I switched to Vegas. God tier stuff.Thanks for the tip!
i liked it =)Thanks!
maybe you should upload this so people can watch it at high quality (*cough* me *cough*)
I liked the cute little intro in the beginning, nice combos in the start, then after awhile I got bored and went straight to commenting.Glad you liked the intro, hehe. ^_^ Yeah, the frame rate was just a pain. :'( Maybe I'll try fraps or something, next time.
One problem is choppy framerate, it kinda made my head want to scream STOP PLEASE LORD LET IT BE SMOOTH! And then another thing, in the middle, don't throw in like that intros with all the characters, it was nice, you can probably use it for another video, but usually only one "fancy" show type thing can only be used once, then people like me get pissed off.
One good thing about it, no fucking split screen, 5 screen going on thing. I just want to slaughter people who do that.
There is no MB CMV withough JDAThanks!
anyways good stuff
I think Tsumetai Kagerou means Cold/Icy Wind instead of Cold Shadow :pAhahah... I figured I messed up there...
Anyways my thoughts:Good to hear. Thanks. =)
Combos were pretty okay for someone who was just starting out. Not terribly spectacular nor were there combos that were really bad.
As for the editing, it was very nice except for some parts which were dragged on such as the part in 1:35.
I also suggest making the credits a tad bit shorter as it gets kinda boring looking at text pop out over and over for a extended period of timeYeah. Not doin that again. Totally gonna record more combos, probably with multiple characters rather than just one... >.> And try to have as little dead time as possible. The credits were only that drawn out cause I was filling up time for the song to sync to the place I wanted it at. That's also the only reason why I had the credits before the end, rather than at the end.
(I found the singing nanaya kinda cheesy like you said <.<).I still love it, though. xD
Good luck man on the next few videos ! :>Thanks!
Can someone rip Aoko's missed throw animation?If I were on my computer, rather than my laptop, I'd totally do it for you right now... But I'm not... So you can get the sprites here:
Zaelar brings up a good point: why are you making the vid and who is your target audience? That's usually a good starting point when trying to make a CMV (not that I've made any myself lol, but the concept is applicable with any sort of presentable project anyway).That's a really good point. I hadn't thought of that at all when I made the video. I was just doing it for fun. Guess I should put more though into that next time...
With regard to the Nanaya singing part, there's more than one way to do that without using a pixelated sprite; shooped Kagetsu Tohya screenshots could work just as well.Once again, not well thought out. But I don't have photoshop and don't have the nerve to download and crack it. I did once and deleted it the next day. Yet I am still willing to download meg after meg of music... >_> I thought that using maybe Nanaya's super portrait picture would be a better idea since the resolution is far superior to Nanaya's sprite, I didn't know how I could animate the lips without making it look unnatural and stupid.
Combo-wise, I could theoretically see a few more combo extension opportunities - at 1:02, there might be space to do a 5A to extend it right before the tech, and the same could probably be done at around 2:30 (again, I could be wrong).I don't know about the limits of AC, but you're probably right. I've seen it done before... But my timing is pretty sucky. orz Doing 623C three times in a row feels easier because of the superpause. Then again, I managed to do a 623B that has no superpause to follow up a 623C at 3:30... I guess I'll just keep at it, then.
I did, however, like the 2C -> 22C ->236X cancel trick, and I didn't know that could work. I don't know the practicality of it, but its a good thing to know. The maximum range for his Arc Drive also seems to be deceptively long, something I didn't really know until know.Glad I could help out. =)
It looks fairly good for a first vid, IMHO. I think it would be a good idea to also ask other players for help as well for any next videos you have in mind - its more interesting if the combos were shown being used in an actual battle.Thanks a bunch. Hmm. The biggest problem there is I couldn't figure out netplay, and I live where no one plays Melty Blood. So I've never played anyone but the CPU, and I've no one really knowlegeable to talk to about this. o_o; Maybe that'll change when I go to college and meet all sorts of interesting people..
EDIT: Lol at the fact that you used Janne Da Arc, their music is pretty badass. I'm starting to think that every JDA song is a Melty Blood anthem or something, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
Oh my god. It's a nanaya video with Janne De Arc. I'm having MTP flashbacks.Maybe the next one should have DMC3 music? xD Nah just kidding. That's totally MTP's thing.
You start off with the "best combos" and then you started doing inferior combos, which IMO didn't even look "cooler" or "better" at all. This makes it boring, forcing the viewers to watch the same combo 10 times over. This is made even worse because you waste the viewers time with all the Arc Drives/Last Arcs/Character Introduction. Other than that, yeah nothing really special at all. Needs more than just day 1 stuff in it.I'm obviously biased, but I don't think the quality of the combos really deteriorated over the course of the video... I did have a lot of BnB-esque combos, though, so I understand what you mean. Most, if not all, of them ended with jump combo -> air throw. But I dunno. I tried to go for some variation to get to the point of the air combos (is there really much variation to Nanaya's air combos? ). Otherwise the most original thing I did, I think, was the j.C -> 236A -> 41236C, so I left that at the end... I sorry that you didn't enjoy my video, but thanks for the criticism. I will try to improve on this.
I've been thinking about using Fighter Factory, but until I download it I've been doing the sprite ripping the hard way....How were you ripping them, then...? Screen capture? o.o;;
By the way, a little off topic, but are you the same liger from mugen-infantry.net?That's me. 'Sup~
Holy shit.My mind says "SSBB characters". My eyes say "Figurines?"
THIS is why Smash is an awesome game.
Macampos, where did you get the backgrounds from? I've been searching for them The melty blood onesI ripped these stages from MB:AC ver 2 for the PS2. There are 27 stages there, or some number around there, but not all of them are there. Also, all the stages are like... In pieces. o.O You have to put them together.
The fact that it only would be funny ...Hmmm... http://bobandgeorge.com anyone?
1. in complete Japanese or complete English,
2. wasn't Fandom Wank material (example: even mentioning the author in a positive light in a sprite comic? lol?),
3. didn't use Comic Sans
4. didn't use overused jokes so openly. This is "cute", not "funny".
Let your tea cool a little bit before sipping.I always do.
Where in NY are you?I live about an hour north from NYC. And as of the end of this August I'll be living in NYC for the next 4 years, granted I don't get kicked out of college...
:O
It's an onion head emoticon... Isn't it cute?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
DOES IT HAVE RABIES
Hey, guys! I'm Kota, also known as AsunaNegi. I was directed here from AQS. I'm a noob MBAC player who can't afford to import (T.T, I'd love to have the real game instead of an eyepatch) and hasn't found a character to stick with yet (although I've been using Sacchin and Ciel a lot). In the non-MB world I do some editing for Dynasty-Scans. Nice to meet you all, and I hope to learn the ways of MB. And I pray my friends won't find this place, so I'll be able to own them completely.Oh snap... I know you!
