I dno I didn't think competetive donkey Kong would be interesting but the king of Kong is a great documentary. Have no interest in larping but darkon was great. wouldnt think a film about a janitor outside artist would be fascinating but in the realms of the unreal was amazing.There are a ton of awesome documentaries about seemingly mundane subjects. It's up to the film maker to make them interesting.

Got 3 tracks on this weekend's Marvel 2 mix.

There's a few other tracks I want to swap in but I think they all get hit by Youtube content matches, so this might be final.

King of Kong isn't about a community or a game it's about a relatable family man pursuing his dream. You're proving my point for me. Thanks.

The twirl is a party so just free step. Also some moves if you see it coming just knocks him out of it. In the morn I will record how to step, or just stuff. Hell I can air throw him too.As long as we can agree it's stupid.
On the other hand, Rachel's PPT string seems pretty amazing. Truth?
Alright. I tried sidestepping Marie Rose's flip grab, but it always tracked. Looks like I just need to jab it /
I mean we're on the inside looking out or whatever. Maybe if a talented filmmaker framed it in a way similar to how ZTS says King of Kong was, then it could be interesting. But most stuff that happens in the fgc seems pretty mild, boring or stupid from the outside looking in. Stuff like Nuki Daigo arcade rivalry in the 90s may seem awesome to us but the average person let alone video game player who doesn't care about the fg scene will raise and eyebrow and go "wow who gives a fuck".
ZTS I don't see how he proved your point though. King of Kong may be about a family man following his dream but it's in the context of playing an old arcade game. If it's about the guys being obsessive about competition like I think I read it was then yes it's a character study but in that case it contextualizes competitive video games in a way that makes them fascinating. That's basically how every piece of media relating people to a pastime works, whether it's Tokyo Olympiad or a LARPing doc. I haven't seen any previews of this documentary but if it's like a recap of fgc history or whatever then yeah it will probably be boring.

Nuki and Daigo had a rivalry? Somebody bankroll this doc!
Tbh, it would be cool to have something about the arcade culture in japan in the 90s. There were probably so many little arcades. Most people would find it boring of course.

So this is cool! Legendary SNK artist Shinkiro is still at Capcom, and he made the art for the Korean special edition!
I need this

Bengus > Shinkiro.
Agreed

Because most people don't speak japanese in this thread I imagine?

Chun-Li's English voice actress always sounds like she's on the verge of crying.
Shinkiro's cover actually has some work put into it, as opposed to Bengus' resembling a first draft doodle (with bizarre character framing) pushed out the door in an hour.
Bengus' artwork used to be a lot better though.

Fang is so out of place. "Just going to hang out here behind Ryu". The rest of the composition is fine compared to that, wow.

I honestly didn't see him until someone pointed him out.
Akiman > both ;p
Would have liked that Shinkiro art more if it had a more cartoon-ish shading like his MvC3 stuff:

Do want. Where's the best place to cop? Play-asia?
I'd buy an AKIMAN edition in a second.

Does Dolphin work with the official Nintendo Gamecube adapter or do you need the Mayflash one?
It works fine. I think you might need to download a program to make it work, though.
I think Akiman still does work for Capcom, seeing as he did the Ryu art for Smash 4.
Speaking of Street Fighter, apparently MAN WITH A MISSION is doing the main vocal theme for Street Fighter V, titled "Survivor".

That's great to hear I won't need any additional hardware, lol. Thanks.

Don't forget this gem. I got it framed in my house.
Freelance probably, did some stuff for SE/Tri Ace's Star Ocean 5 too.
That and the fact that he's so tiny, like he's a little guy sitting on Ryu's shoulder as GIANT LAURA looms over them.

ZTS is right. All of those FGC documentaries are boring as hell. The Smash Bros one was worse though...over four goddamn hours long. GTFO

I liked both King of Kong and The Smash Bros documentary. Boring depends on your taste.

I think they showed that four hour Smash Bros documentary in Guantanamo Bay
I've watched a ton of FGC documentaries, and I'd have to agree. Most of them are boring as hell or hit the same notes for far too long. You feel like you're watching the same thing over and over.
The best documentary-esque things to come out of the FGC IMO is HBTB's short and short-lived Quarter on a Ledge Series.

Well, that's what happens when you let another company do a better job with your characters than you did.
