    Here’s the pilot episode of my new Street Fighter IV video series, “Theory Fighter.” (youtube link) I basically just lay down the groundwork for the actual episodes coming, and spill a little about my brief time being a Street Fighter fan, and how I’ve gotten to this point. Episode 1 goes into production ASAP. As always you can check out all of my audio/visual projects at my website, loltima.net

    I think someone's looking for a sponsorship....

    Anyways, I really like the intro, quite cool. Still, I have to assume you just don't know how to do a star wipe as that transition lacked one. For shame, sir.

    Dude, your vids are the shit! 

    I wish I could play you some SFIV, but I don't have the 360 version 'cause 2 of my friends went PS3... plus I also got mine autographed by Seth Killian + Yoshi Ono and went to the Sony Sanctioned Street Fighter Club Event, so it all pushed me to PS3. 

    Anyway, thanks fer making this stuffs and keep it up!

    1.  You say "umm" too much...just like I do when I make any videos.  Script your stuff together for some better flow, as well as allowing you to add more into your videos without worrying much about time limits.


    2.  Make sure you've got your camera setups confirmed and ready to go before you start shooting, as well as ensure that your voice is picking up well.  This will prevent you wasting time that you could be putting towards something else.

    3.  You've got mad skills at video making, so USE THEM!!!  I'm guessing that later episodes might introduce this, but you could've easily been inserting some pictures or other video of you playing or something while keeping your voice explaining things.

    Also, look at the lens, not the screen.  If your camera setup is set up well and you've made sure of it, then looking at the lens means eye contact with the audience you are reaching out to, and that will keep them coming back.  = D

    Otherwise, I'm excited and interested in checking this series out.

    Bison may have plumbing, but Balrog is opening up a Deli like his idol Bam Bam Bigelow. It's going to be called Buffalo Cuts, man. Word.

    I didn't buy SF4 to only play one character. While I do have my main , it doesn't mean I'm sandbagging if I'm playing my alts for fun (I'm still playing to win but just with a character I don't know much about, hence I play them to learn more about them). Me and my friends usually do best of 5 or 7 using our mains then use our alts to explore other characters. Who knows given enough time, my alts will be my main when I get good enough. If I'm playing a long session with somebody, the game gets boring real quick if I'm always facing the same character. After all when you hit a slump in learning curve with your main, the game can still be fun when you got alts.

    That is a pretty sick Gen combo, gotta admit. My camera doesn't support boom mics so unfortunately until I get a better setup in HD and all that junk (which is coming) I'm stuck with the interference. It was shot on a ridiculously windy day as it stands and for the actual episodes I'll pay more heed to these things.

    @Jacob187 -- points taken. I didn't do much fancy with this video because there was really no reason to, I just wanted to get this pilot out of the way so maybe people would understand better what's on the way. The actual episodes are going to be super-produced, and likely take a lot more man-hours to complete. Scripted and all. I just wanted to speak off the cuff on this one.

    I've always had trouble looking people in the eye, be it in public speech class, or just everyday conversation. I know it's weird but the camera lens is even more frightening than someones eyes, because it's like hundreds of eyes all at once. Although I could avoid looking at the screen by flipping it the other way I suppose!

    Thanks for all the comments!

    Cool beans, dood.  I was just throwing out some observations from what I had seen.  Figured you knew half of that, but nonetheless, just offering constructive criticism rather than bashing shit like usual.  lol  Wouldn't have bashed the video, though, since the idea of the series seems like a great thing to do, especially since...ya know...

    Good vid ultima. I'm the same way with street fighter and i've been playing it since SNES. Before fighting games were online I just played my friends and destroyed them. Then I played Capcom vs snk 2 for the first time on x-box live and got my ass kicked for awhile till I started watching replays of how others played and looked up some combo vids.

    Man, your editing skills are fantastic. Great commentary, can't wait for the next video...let me know before you record though, I want to try and kick the shit out of you again. I have a feeling I just got lucky last time.

    More star wipes in the future? I'm not so sure. As far as MB goes, I have just recorded some videos with Jacob187, and I have to do an El Fuerte coming up here soon (he knows who he is). But after that it's the MB rematch of the century.

    Great vid.  I actually just started playing Vega a while back because nobody played him and he was really considered so bad.  Once I started getting really good as him and understanding his offensive/defensive capabilities, I play pretty much exclusively as him in serious competition.
    I pick other characters just to keep me interested, but if I'm going to win, I've gotta pick Vega.

    Man, those were some sick matches last night.  Few good 5 round matches in there, and I can't even count how many times the words "*ugh*, that damn combo" came out of my mouth!  lol  Really wish we would've had audio commentary for the video.  Lot of good talk about strategy in there...couple of good laughs at ridiculous shit happening...and of course, me bitching because my Spiral Arrows were magically turning into Cannon Spikes.

    *EDIT*  Ultima, spell my name right!!!!  GRRR!

    Thanks for pointing out that your name was spelled with a "K," otherwise I would have put that video up online and everything with a "C." Currently rendering, wait time 4 hours, attempt TWO. Jesus After Effects crashing is ridiculous.

    You mean the one where he does a couple of moves and then a hurricane kick into shoryuken? Yeah...I hate that one. He's got it down, though.

    I've been working on my Gouken combos, you guys better watch out :) I wish I could pull some of these off.

    Pretty much nothing is cheap to me unless you're Sagat, but that's a different story altogether.

    As for that combo, I have to say as Cammy it's really stacked against you, as I can punish almost everything you do on block with that glorious combo, whether it starts with s. HP, c. MK, or just some jabs. It's all gravy.

    Tons of potential... but the Pepsi drinking was a tad distracting at times. Also, you coulda tilted it up a little more to not cut off your head. Lookin forward to the next installment!
