More G.M.C. Special Selection bump

Some long ST series on Nico. Players unknown.

Chun-Li vs. Ryu

Chun-Li vs. Ryu

Chun-Li vs. O.Hawk

Chun-Li vs. Ken

Chun-Li vs. Ken

UPDATE:

Zangief vs. Chun-Li

Dara posted a comment on this series on the gmc blog. They still aren't saying who the players are because they want the ST action to be judged independent of how well known the players are. Two bits of info, however:
1) Videos were recorded within the last year.
2) Matches took place at Nagase UFO.

Great videos, anyway. Unknown Grey Chun-Li is really ferocious.

  1. P.S. I wrote below that I thought these vids came from the gmc archive (2005-2006) but it looks like I was wrong about that. If the grey chun here is nuki these are summer 07 at the earliest.

  2. that o.hawk is straight nasty. Are there no viable counters vs. chun's cr. medium kick spamming?

  3. His crouching roundhouse can trade here and there, eh? Pretty tough.

    One more video up. I guess there's some controversy with the whole names undisclosed thing. Weird.

  4. I don't know why, but I like the anonymity of the players, though some are quite obvious from their color choice and play style.

    That chunli is a beast indeed. I've never seen so many throws, and instant head stomp is godly in so many ways. Also very interesting use of standing far rh as spacing, anti jump and lightning kick bait. Something I'm going to try to employ. I still hate how overpowered she is though.

    Which makes seeing her get taken down so satisfying. I was waiting for gief to smack that whore with a nice spinning clothesline to the face whenever she pulled a super and I'm very satisfied to have caught it at least 3 times in the latest video.

    Another favorite is womb-pump to death at 21:15. I guess you can sense how frustrated the gief player is by his mashing during the womb demolisher hold. Awesome abortion performed by Dr. Gief.

    Great vids and thanks for the link last time. That timing site is absolute gold and explains why dic can delay so much before super in exchange for quicker input.

  5. The chun is Nuki and the ryu is Sako

    It's cool in a format like this. Sometimes when you've only got one or two games and they're very lopsided it's hard to tell if the loser is a good player who's rattled or a new player who doesn't know what they're doing.

    Also very interesting use of standing far rh as spacing, anti jump and lightning kick bait.
    Yeah that was excellent. Great footsie all around.

    It seemed like Chun let a few anti-air super chances slide. I mean it looked intentional like they were saving it for something else. Kinda strange.

    Awesome abortion performed by Dr. Gief.
    Why do you think there are so few bear cubs in Siberia?

  7. This Chun is good. I actually like this Chun more than Otochun.

  9. nohoho: can you upload these to youtube? I want to download them for my own collection. Great Chun action!

  10. It's possible that some of the jab color ryu in the first batch was nuki, too.

    311 - Probably sako (<- o.hawk is one of his main chars), aniken, gunze. Only people who know for sure, btw, are nekohashi, dara and the people who were actually at UFO those days. Like I said earlier, nico commenters are just guessing like us.

    312 - How about google video? Splitting .flvs is a real hassle for me. Heh.

    1) Download the Opera web browser
    2) Watch the vids til completion (or pause and wait til they are finished downloading)
    3) Go to "C:\Documents and Settings\.Your Username.\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4"
    4) Arrange by size and then locate the .FLV
    5) Download VLC Media player if the files won't play.

  12. I tried downloading it using the Opera browser. For some reason it wouldn't work for me. I didn't have a subfolder called application data.

    Nohoho: could you put these chun vids up on the web somewhere? Google video or youtube? These are just tooooo good not to have.

    Thanks!

  13. anonymous, you probably do have a subfolder called application data. Last night after moving data to a new HDD, Firefox did a great job of hiding my bookmarks, and I had to go hunting in %APPDATA% to find them. (Only reason I ever switched from Opera was because the newer Opera versions kept getting bloated trying to mimic IE- why can't firefox remember my tabs from previous use?!) When you get the vids, maybe you could upload them.

  14. any chance you'll put these up for download?? =)

  15. I turns out google video doesn't accept .flvs. And I can't remember how to split them (I did it before with nakamura-otochun @ superturbor)
