My first shot at a compilation video. I spent a lot of time on this...and after many hurdles and struggling, it is finally completed.

Crimean Sonata: An Ike Compilation Video

I'm pleased with how it turned out, but there can always be improvements. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed making this...the journey was well worth it for the end result.

Be sure to comment and let me know what you guys think. And watch it in High Quality! :D

Wow... this video was very well made (which is a big understatement). I saw the title, I knew it was going to be great. I heard the song, I knew it was going to be great. I saw the video, and it was ****ing brilliant.

Two things though that I didn't like:

1. Wish you had put some spoilers on the thing .__. . I haven't had time to finish playing Radiant Dawn xD.
2. I wish the credits consisted of scenes of your opponent beating on you instead of the funny/cool scenes. What you did still works though :3

Thanks for the positive comments thus far :D

I honestly didn't think I spoiled anything...I used some cutscenes for intro/transition purposes...out of context from FE game itself. I apologize if it did spoil something...but that obviously was not my goal.

Ike may be bad, but he looks awesome in combo videos. Great job!

Fantastic. I remember some of the first videos i ever saw were of you and it influenced me to play more ike. I've transitioned to other characters now, but seeing this video reminds me once again why i played ike so much a few months ago.

Amazingly enjoyable, Kirk. Thanks

Now that was a **** good video, lol.

lol@the disclaimer. I dont want to start some kind of a flame war, but your opponents skill have always been questionable to me. :/

Ike doesn't win tourneys, plain and simple, lol. Gimpy lives by good people, which is the reason he placed top 10. You are pretty good, but you need to start facing players higher up there, then you can become awesome, lol.


(Serious criticism, not ego ****. You're prolly better than me atm, I dunno.)

Then why post? You've already brought this same thing up months ago...and it's not really needed here either.

I respect your opinions, one-sided as they may be, just know that I've participated in tournaments in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wisconsin, all with quality players, and have placed in the top 3 in each 95% of the time. I'm being a little hypocritical for mentioning this in this thread, but give Ike some credit :o

Sorry...on topic:

It's great to see all of the positive feedback :D

I might consider working on a follow-up project sometime...though I don't know what to do yet. But alas I'm probably getting ahead of myself xD

Good job. Also when I see videos of an Ike using f-smash, people go "ZOMG u a n00b" but when you do it, you get praise.

What's your secret Kirk.

I post because I find it odd you always defend your opponents like that, even though only the people under you seem to agree, lol. Ike isn't terrible, but face it, unless you're using counterpicks, which to my knowledge you don't, some people should be owning you for using Ike, lol.

Seriously, is there a single decent Falco, Kirby, DDD, MK, Snake, G&W, or **** even Sheik there? >.> Because if there was, you would be much lower on the placings, lol. It's not your skill I doubt, it's your opponents, and the fact that an Ike is constantly in the top placings there.

Criticism is perfectly valid, but like I said you have the whole ike board to do it. You've been riding this whole "The people you play suck because Inui says so" train for months now, if you want to iron the stupid **** out beyond you stating it again and then going "well im done here" regardless of what the response is then you have a place to do it. This ******* troll persona you have going is beyond tired since I know full well that if you talked to him one on one you'd leave the crap at the door.

Uh, our argument last time was ****ing going no where, and I'm not going to waste my time defending a position that most people seem to agree on, lol. You're the one who gets the most pissed off in arguments that don't necessarily even include you. I'm talking to Kirk not you, because believe or not, I have some ****ing respect for him, and there was a point I respected you, but your temper is just nuts.

Calm the hell down Ryko, seriously.

This made me laugh :teeth:

You guys should just stop arguing about this though go talk about in the Ike boards or in some tourney thread so you can talk to the people kirk fights.

You mistake a habit for cursing excessively for actually being pissed off. In the first thread I was thoroughly pissed off because you do little to ever support your points, you just throw a blanket statement then act like anyone who finds their way around it is just woefully blind. It's a bad habit but I curse a lot even in casual conversation, so when I'm being pointed or on the other side of an argument my natural way of speaking comes off as angrier than normal.

My point was actually rather simple and didn't need to have something directed at me to be said, since if you really wanted to leave it between kirk and you you have multiple PM and IM options to do so. You have a perfectly good venue to speak to kirk about the same thing you've brought up half a dozen times before, I don't see why dragging it over to yet another forum about a combo video (and not ike's acutal viability) even struck you as a remotely good idea.

That's what I was saying.

Alright, truce, I'll leave my **** in the Ike boards.

Either way, like I said, regardless of his opponent's supposed skill, it's a great ****ing video.

We both bursting out laughing ourselves when that fully charged eruption hit xD It was too epic. :p

And as always, thank you all for the great comments and feedback :D
