SF3:3S Makoto Tool-Assisted Speedrun by DevilAzite

Maj — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 07:56:46 +0000

What’s the best shortcut to making an entertaining fighting game speedrun? Find a character with a damaging yet highly impractical attack, and spend most of your time trying to land it. You can’t ask for a more perfect example of this principle than Makoto’s Fukiage (up-punch).

highlights:
SF3:3S Makoto midscreen double SA2 at 2:00, Makoto single-parry vs four basketballs at 7:49, Makoto Fukiage exhibition at 9:07, and Makoto final round shenanigans vs Gill at 11:58

SSF4 World Record Arcade Mode Score by desk

Maj — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 21:00:13 +0000

Apparently the current world records for SSF4 arcade mode scores are 2,014,700 points for Xbox360 and 1,119,600 points for PS3. Using Chun Li, desk takes on the mission of breaking both records – using a completely different approach than you’d expect.

notes:
It turns out you can get way more points for amassing high-count combos instead of beating every opponent with a perfect lifebar. That means it’s better to purposely lose a round every match and play three rounds every time rather than meeting the requirements for fighting Akuma/Gouken. However, desk doesn’t always take that route because “that wouldn’t have been very interesting to watch.”

Genesis Pit Fighter TAS by adelikat

Maj — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 02:24:31 +0000

Does anyone remember playing this awful game? I had the misfortunate of experiencing it because one of my friends somehow got his parents to buy it for him as a kid. Luckily jjunior76 discovered a weird glitch that freezes opponents in place as they die to extreme rapid-fire.

highlights:
PitF Ty flawless wakeup games at 0:37, barrel bash combo at 4:10, and the end at 6:15

Do you like collision detection? Do you appreciate sound? Do you value your time? If you answered “Yes” to these questions, this tool-assisted playthrough is definitely not for you! Seriously, this game couldn’t have been programmed worse if they tried.

error1 — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:40:10 +0000

A very quick and glitchy tool assisted 8 vs 8 match – worth checking out even if you’re not familiar with the game. You definitely won’t fall asleep halfway through.

Ninja Masters Monster Pack by Gen

Maj — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:05:36 +0000

These are already spotlighted on Sonic Hurricane but they deserve a mention here too. After all, it’s easily the most comprehensive video project for Ninja Masters ever assembled. Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of ADK’s Ninja Masters – nobody has. It’s still worth your time to check these out. Every character is thoroughly explored, with creative setups throughout.

highlights:
NM Raiga vs Nobunaga at 2:35 of Vol 1, NM Ranmaru vs Kasumi at 4:05 of Vol 2, NM Kamui vs Raiga at 3:39 of Vol 3, and NM Ranmaru vs Nobunaga at 5:20 of Vol 3
