[CP] Valkenhayn Video Thread (Updated 3/21/14)

The 2nd and 3rd links do not work for me. Is anyone else having this problem? On a side note, Hima is now in 3rd place in the dan ranking, so it looks like he's playing again. Probably bound to see some more footage.

Odd. I am having issues with them as well.

It was working fine last night.

Kiba · June 2, 2013

In that case it's probably the actual video then. Alright, thanks for confirming.

Now the links are workin just fine.

Kiba · June 3, 2013

Really? Still not working for me.

Kiba you've been bodying me at the video posting lately. Hah.

I do like his pressure and movement, but he's really quite clumsy. I'm not saying that he's bad, he is actually quite good. But not notable player good (in my opinion).

He managed to fully deplete his wolf meter twice, and he dropped a plethora of combos.

I mean, you can of course add him if you'd like; but meh.

It's better to watch good AND bad players, so is easier to see their differences and errors.

Dreize · June 6, 2013

Well yeah, sure I guess.

But this is a "notable players" list. Not a "players who make errors list" (even though they do make errors at times, they are only human after all).

I mean, I'd take Shiro over Suuya on that list any day of the week. It's Kiba's decision though.

Kiba · June 6, 2013

I agree it's good to watch different players in order to identify strengths and errors, but remember the notable player list merely serves as a guide. I watch a lot of videos but other than the notables I'm down for catching matches from Kin Tager, Shiro or Kessoku Shi (Mr.Unity). Shiro may run out of wolf meter from time to time, but we all know that Uma No Hone and especially Masashi seem to be on and off in the sense that they have their days where they do some questionable things (not blaming them). I'm not one to really measure strengths here because for some unknown reason I can't really seem to measure if certain Valks are as good as others.

I suppose we already have 4 good role models, but I guess that was another attempt at me trying to bring up a discussion here. I just want to make sure things are on the right track, because remember when I started this thread I had Suya and Nao on the notable players list! Ultimately I need to be careful with who I add to the list.
