「結婚しちゃう」 ...just joking!

it's random.

did you try uploading it with bogus info? idk how they filter uploads, but maybe you can circumvent it with fake title/author/song/whatever info. sorry if that's no help, though, can't say i've ever had that happen to me.

for #R, just browse Youtube, there're still lots of combo or match vids out there. try looking for Slayer vids in this channel, too: http://www.youtube.com/user/getterbeeeeeeeeeeem

read the bit about "Slashback" in the Guarding section of the GG guide. M. Song, i can't remember exactly about the multi-summons glitch, but it had to do with blue bursting OTG (at least in #R, i can't remember if you can do it in later versions ), and it relied on one of the summons randomly showing up as you burst. there was actually a short "combo" vid based on that glitch, but i can't remember the name. sorry if that doesn't help.

not to rain on anyone's parade, here, but what's the point of the thread? is it just passing along/"advertising" (loosely speaking) advice from SRK? or was there a question that i missed?

the appropriation of SBO videos through illicit methods is not up for discussion in this forum. and although "Ano Ochiai" might be a reference to "That Man", it's more likely that it's meant to be interpreted as " 'That' Ochiai", with a slightly vague notion of what makes this Ochiai so particular.

Dear you, Go here: http://f32.aaa.livedoor.jp/~kosugi/guiltyslash/top.html Click on a character, then click on the 3rd link from the top to go to their #Reload frame data. (The portrait on *that* page will be the portrait from Isuka, although it's supposed to be #R frame data, just fyi.) Yours truly, not you

try PMing Gwyrgyn, he may be able to retrieve it for you from... wherever it is that threads go?

merry christmas!

in the stickied FAQ thread in this section of the forum, there's a link to the GGXX version of the current Guide we have, and that's the best place to go to read up on the game's mechanics. anyways since i already found it i'll just post it here: http://web.archive.org/web/20050306060047re_/www.gamecombos.com/games/ggxx/

...although it would be nice to verify whether there actually ARE 4 levels or not.

i'm stickying this for now (and of course leaving it open for discussion).

it's "Film", btw, not "Huirum". not sure who translated, but it's understandable, since "film" -> フィルム -> "f/huirum" (if you don't notice the ィ is smaller than usual).

check out jourdal on Youtube, he's been re-uploading vids from Nico and there're some matches of Gozaru's and A-92's Hakumens.

puddle glitch! funny to see it in a match, though.

(PM me and i'll take care of it.)

yeah i was unable to find an official reading of his sword name, so i just used standard on'yomi since it's a 2-kanji word. But now that I looked again, I found the article for Hakumen on a Japanese fighting game wiki, and it agrees with your reading of "ookami", so i'll edit that in my above post. and you're right, this usage of Japanese is a kind of "warrior poetry", almost. 陣 (jin) isn't "field" like what you're thinking; in Japanese, that kind of geometric or physical field is 場 (ba). 陣, itself, means "battle formation; camp, encampment", and when it's combined with other words, it's always used to refer to members of a group or squad in a kind of (battle) formation, if i understand correctly (although there are figurative uses of this word that don't strictly adhere to that image, i think). for example, if you say 円陣, it means "(a) circle, ring", with the nuance that it has been formed by a group for the purpose of offense/defense. but it's not *only* used for battle purposes: 教授陣 (kyouju-jin) means "faculty" (of professors, like at a university). but it differs from just 教授 because it has the idea of a kind of "line-up". then again, maybe it's a reference to a kind of "base"/headquarters? not that i can think of *why*, but i guess if you have the right story-mode info, it could work... also, just to make it a bit more complicated, the word 魔法陣 (mahoujin), in Japanese fantasy fiction, means "magic grid/matrix/circle", like what we would think of in Western fantasy fiction as a protection/warding/summoning circle that a magic-user could create and use. So here, 陣 is being used to sort of instantiate the idea of "a (geometric) formation of magic" -- so in that sense, 虚空陣 could be like "The Void Circle", or "The Void Grid" or "The Void Matrix" lol. Well, idk, I think void matrix sounds funny, as a math student, but I guess it could work in fantasy fiction.

edit: no you know what, this is too long without being broken up, i'll just make a "tl;dr" version at first, then list the translation discussion afterwards. Short version Sword name 斬魔・鳴神 (zanma: ookami) = devil slash: roaring spirit Drive 斬神 (zanshin) = spirit slash Specials 紅蓮 (guren) = crimson; crimson lotus flower 蓮華 (renka) = lotus flower 残鉄 (zantetsu) = [lit.] remaining iron (???) 鬼蹴 (kishuu) = demon-kick 閻魔 (enma) = Enma (the name of the Lord of the Realm of the Dead in Japanese Buddhism) 火蛍 (hotaru) = firefly, [lit.] flaming firefly 椿祈 (tsubaki) = camellia, [lit.] camellia prayer Overdrive names 虚空陣 (kokuujin) = [lit.] void space camp ... 疾風 (shippuu) = [lit.] swift wind ... 雪風 (yukikaze) = [lit.] snow-bearing wind ... 夢幻 (mugen) = illusion, phantasm ... 悪滅 (akumetsu) = evil's ruin, destruction/annihilation of evil.
