Videos
To view videos hosted on Nico, either get an account or use one of these URLs one, two; replace the sm#### part of the link with the one for the movie you want.

Right click on Zoome videos to switch between FLV and H264 formats. The former is better for low bandwidth or CPU power.

More SF4 videos: G-COM, Planet Zero, Arcade Infinity, Sega World Matsue, Magician, Tokyo Ranking Fighters, Game Chariot, FFA/Infinity, Urban Square, Magician YT, Misc. Korea, Misc. Nagoya.

Also, I've posted some of my favorite matches from fall '08 here: NH2@AHO.
