View Full Version : Ken vs Gief
Ken vs Gief is a three part street fighter video, created mostly using The Street fighter EX2+ replay function. In it, I've tried to dipict the story of a big ass fight between Ken and Zangief. There's no dialog but it's easy to understand what's going on (Mainly because there's not a lot going on). To break things up a bit there's also lots and lots of combos in there too, from many different SF games inc. 3s, HyperZero, HyperSF, SF Collection, SF: movie and of course SFEX2.
I've been working on it for faaaaar too long but I just finished the last episode and it's all here for your viewing displeasure.
You can download them from combovideos.com.

Chapter 1: Confrontation
Ken spies Zangief kicking in Chun Li, they have a bit of a flash back then a big fight. Ken loses.

Chapter 2: Training
Ken needs to get back in shape so he has a big rocky style training montage.

Chapter 3: Vengeance
Back on top form, Ken again confronts Zangief. This time he plans ahead but it doesn't always go the way he wants it to.

Just want to say thanks to Buttermaker for helping me out with some sprite rips and majestros for being helpful and donating some footage :)
Again, all comments are welcome :)

^Yeah, I kind of got that hint at the end too... I wonder if it had any meaning. I love the SF 2012 dream he has, it's cool. Like "Hmm, hmm, yeah! :confused: Nahh..."
Edit: I love it how you blended the 2D in with the 3D...

Just wanted to say, Desk, that I think your editing in Part 3 was phenomenal. I love it. Keep it up! I would love seeing more creative work like this done in more future Combo Videos.
And btw, does EX3 have that playback camera manipulation thing that EX2 had? 'Cause if it did, the fact that you ACTAULLY managed to maniuplate that camera to your advantage proves you have far more patience than I. ^_^ I couldn't get the EX2 ones to cooperate at all.

Must be a problem on your end as I have no problems with it at all...
Thanks muchly for the feedback guys makes me feel a bit better about spending quite so much time on these vids, lol.
jchensor, Thanks :) I don't think EX3 has the replay thing. I really wish it did though because I would have been using it too. As for the EX2 replay thing, When I first had the idea and was messing on with it, I got hella annoyed. It's really counter intuitive and seems limited. However after I got the hang of it I was able to get shots really quickly. The thing that will probably make me think twice before doing it again though is the fact that you have to record the round, save it, load it and edit, save it again and then load and capture the replay. That's why the whole thing took me so long, as I would take about 20mins getting 1 or 2 replay's then get really sick and not bother with it again, sometimes for weeks, lol. Also what was not really time consuming but quite difficult was editing the replay's together to make it seem like a single fight.
fishjie, The youtube link is fine, like DD said I think the problem is on your end.

As verification, EX3 does NOT have the replay nor the director mode (thats to be expected as rushed as EX3 was [only 3 months separating the PSX release of EX2+ and the PS2 release of EX3, heck japanese didn't even have an ingame commandlist]).
In which, while I might not have used it that much, I can defintely see the advantages of using it now. Too bad I hate EX2+ lol
That said, those were some cool ass juggles with Ken.
Great job

impressive editing, kinda boring though. obviously others enjoyed it though, so don't take my lack of interest personally.

you could have SPDed with gief, then super jump immediately afterwards to get close to the opponent, and meaty tick SPD them again, to super jump, tick, FAB

Ken's no doubt a skilled fighter, but he sucks at walking.
Kudos for the pimp Mr. X theme.

Third chapter made me laugh like a madman. Top tier stuff.
Before this gets pushed off the first page :sweat: Would anyone be willing to danate footage to another project? I'm thinking of doing a similar thing but featuring some different characters. However, I'm not too keen on spending hella time recording combo's. I'd really want to concentrate on the 'movie' bits. Majestros was kind enough to give me a few clips for this video, so would anyone else be willing to contribute to the next one? Obviously everyone would be credited for their efforts.

I'm willing to help a little if there's something I can do.
I'm not bumping this thread to get more views, honest:sweat: .
laugh, Can you record and get footage? Although I haven't started the next vid yet, all I'm looking for is some peeps who could record some awesome combo's for me. With whichever 2 characters will be in the video. I'll probably take quite a while putting the vid together so there would be bags of time to get stuff done. Also, thanks for offering dude!
Good vid. Best ending ever.

Yeah, no problem. I can record stuff. I haven't done anything in the video department in ages so why not do something.

I watched it all and I must say it was both well done and entertaining. Didn't know you could land a shippu on chun li after a throw in the corner either. So I learned something, too. :)
^^yeah it's pretty pointless though, as i takes off less than a throw. It's cool to use when you want to be flashy though, especially for the KO. Also you'll notice that during the super flash, part of the background breaks. Everything is supposed to freeze during this time but if it happens on the same frame as the super flash it happens anyway. It's the same pricipal as the 'moving during super freeze' glitch you've probably seen before.
I'm on KYSG's page! the street fighter geek inside me can now die happy, lol.

(scroll to the bottome of the page)
This is probably only because I include KYSG as an inspiration for the vid but, whatever I don't care. The Mac Daddy of 3s wrote about my vid so I'm happy :) Also jchensor and the ode to the 2 hit combo is mentioned.
From what I can tell it seems positive but maybe he dosn't dig the music? I don't know. Can anyone who speaks japanese better than me translate?

Yeah, you and me both, Desk. ^_^ He's mentioned my 2-Hit Video on his site and previously thanked me (and Majestros and Kamui) once IN one of his other combo videos. TO be mentioned by kysg was seriously one of the highlights of my SF career, as sad as that may sound. ^_^

oh man, now I want to be mentioned in a KYSG video :( lol, props man, I'm seriously jealous.
Also, just want to say I totally loved Ode to the 2 hit combo. I've still got the HQ version eating up space on my hard drive, haha.
