sadly this time melee wont have the epicness of MTR punching the air whenever he does a ganon punch. The Rake is just too good with his PS1 controll mindgames and pokefloat cp :p

virtualdub? Download some codecs (recommend the ffdshow codec package) and play around with it. I also recommend reducing the resolution by a factor of 2 if you're recording in 480i, as all the even numbered lines of pixels will be filled with blank pixels for all the even numbered frames, and all the odd numbered lines will be filled blank pixels for all the odd numbered pixels.

Yea but you guys will have to get somewhere close to birmingham. Its just too much out the way for me to drive up north to get you guys, it'll at least double the journey but yea, if you guys can make it around here that'll be cool. Ill see if i can house you too to make it easier.

I don't think we can get anywhere near birmingham without it costing a bomb, rake.

:<

£50 return to birmingham via train? WTF.

Yeah, that's what me, calz and anakin normally do.

costs us like £20 to get to london (£10 train to sheffield, £10 bus to london) =/


and with this prospective home movement of mine I really can't afford to spend £50-ish to get to birmingham T-T as sucky as that is.

yeah if it's meant to be a competition for best tech skill, I think deathgazer won it, badly edited or not. -.-

i think he's referring to the amount of support he's getting rather than the upload a techskill vid aspect of the competition. When lovage backs ur vid you know you're pretty good

lol I knew what he was referring to.
I just wanted to be precise :)

if you'd have entered this, you would have won it :(
lol yeah I know I would have done something creative and good.
But as I said to you when I was speaking to you on msn, I don't have recording equipment and there's no way in hell im travelling up to Charles house to record a tech video.

Charles got 3rd. He was 2-0 vs Dieslow in LF's and lost 3-2. That's HOW it feels Charles haha.

Also to give an idea, dieslow does pretty well against zhu in falco dittos. Zhu has beaten M2k...Iori logic Fuzzy > M2k!

whats the voting criteria? if its not whoever has the most technically demanding video should win then thats pretty dumb. deathgazers was the most technically demanding by a large margin. people just vote for whoever chose a 'different' character or whoever had the coolest editing lol. thats one of the reasons i didnt bother to enter.
even silent wolf approves :)
