The One With My "Kings And Queens" Video
I've been slowing down on my post recently due to more of a focus on some music video editing fun(and GTA IV, the Lost and the Damned episode for that game is badass) and here is a product of that time.
This is my fan video for the anime series I caught on to late in the game, called Naruto. It's about ninjas, granted they're are a lot of kid ninjas, but they gots dem sweet skillz (I added the "z" to make it EXTREME). The clips are from the Naruto movies, so spoilers (kinda). The music is the new 30 Seconds To Mars track Kings And Queens and the video highlights the cool animation and special powers of these wacky kids. Simple concept but the animations really cool IMO. RASENGANS are awesome...

You read correctly, a new iteration of the fighting game juggernaut known as Street Fighter is getting a full update.

The One With My "Amazing" Video
In an effort to become more versed in forms of digital media, I've been experimenting with editing clips together to make fan videos. This particular video is my attempt at a fan vid/character study of my favorite video game character of all time, Ryu from Street Fighter. Hope you enjoy.
C/O: Me
(Of course, one day after I posted the final cut of this on Youtube, Kanye pulls some outlandish shenanigans at the VMA's)
The video was lifted from Street Fighter™: Round One – Fight!, a product Capcom put out taking the art from the Udon comic book series a couple years back and putting into a motion comic. A lot of the animation was already in the video, but the transitions and editing are mine. The story in the comic is much different the what I portray in the video, but that's the magic of video editing for you.
Ryu is a character that's always striving to better himself through the martial arts, I believe that is noble goal...

Of all the ballroom dance styles I've seen, I think I'd peg the Argentine Tango as the sexiest. And the 2003 Tango Dance World Champions, Gisela Galeassi and Gaspar Godoy certainly make my point. Pay special attention to their finale. Very powerful (and hot) finish.

The One With Those British Guys From Liverpool
I've been playing a bunch of The Beatles: Rock Band lately and it inspired me to look up some of the classic performances that the game recreated.
The Ed Sullivan performance which was The Beatles' 1st performance in the US
and
The Apple Building Rooftop from the film Let It Be
Although the game never really delves into the strife the band experienced during the bands later years, I will say that The Beatles is probably the only band to have the catalogue and mainstream appeal to make a game like this. I'd say that in this way, it is a wonder achievement...

I can't recommend the Quentin Tarantino movie, Inglourious Basterds, enough. A must see. Anyone who's seen the movie knows that even though Brad Pitt gets top billing, the real gem of the film is Christoph Waltz.

The One With The 2009 EVO SFIV Champion
After watching a full weekend of live streaming EVO footage this weekend, viewing dozens of intense Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and Street Fighter IV matches, I can say that it was well worth the effort, because I've seen some amazing matches by the best competitors in the world. And the Main Event, the Street Fighter IV Championship Finals were AMAZING. The true 1st SFIV world champion is Daigo Umehara. That's right, "The Beast" prevailed as the winner but not after a long fought, and nail-biting finals, where Daigo faced the USA favorite repping the NYC, Justin Wong, a man who had already earned a SFIII title earlier that morning and fought a hard battle to earn runner-up in the Marvel vs Capcom 2 championship.
The two competitors faced in three different sets in the double elimination tournament. Both began in the winners bracket and actually matched up during the 1st round (best of 3 matches, best of 3 rounds), where Justin, who had seemed to favor Rufus in competition since the game came out, made a strategic decision to change gears and chose Abel instead. Justin showed some fancy work with Abel, countering a fireball with and ultra in one of the rounds, but was ultimately beaten by the patient and focused Daigo and his near flawless execution with Ryu.
Daigo would go on to sweep the rest of the winners bracket. Justin, now in the losers bracket, had shown great concentration by having to defeat three Akuma players to sweep the bracket and earn another chance at Daigo and the SFIV title.
Because Daigo had beaten Justin previously, Justin would have to beat Daigo in two sets (now a best of 5 matches, best of 3 rounds for the championship set). Justin started after Daigo with Abel once again, but after a firm trouncing, searched deep inside to decide on Balrog a.k.a. in international competition "Boxer". Justin, with the home crowd behind him edges out Daigo in this 2nd set, after going the full 5 matches, and the spectators in the crowd GO NUTS! The level of play was top notch, and it was clear Justin had surprised Daigo with his strategy. But the celebration was brief as the two players had to continue on to the 3rd set immediately. No break.
Let me tell you this set also went the distance. Both players kept with the same characters the entire set and the back and forth between these them was fierce. The chess match was on and the tension was thick. The crowd's excitement ebbed and flowed as the rounds progressed. Daigo took first match, then Justin would take the next two, and then Daigo nabbed his second match. These guys took it down to the wire, but I gotta say, something about Daigo's play had changed since the beginning of the set. I'd describe it as like a man possessed. That final round of the third match cemented that Daigo had finally adapted to Justin's game.
That said though, a wonderful effort by both competitors. Justin played an incredible game. And Daigo is my hero...
