TK Mad Struggle also de-facto has minimum height - it becomes 0-hit version if done too low. And 0-hit version usually sucks, it is totally punishable. Neither can Venom. TK Mad Struggle from blockstring is not safe unless balls are involved. All in all, I see your points, but I'm kinda surprised that you omit the fact that bomber leads to damaging combos. Period. It is kinda wrong to ignore combos that do about 300-350dmg for 25-50% tension (or with some guard involved), right?

I've seen N-O the Testament player in videos quite a while, even like two years ago. There even was a discussion somewhere around the dustloop, with some people claiming it is the N-Otoko, and some people saying it is the different person. It would be cool if this time you can find this N-O person at the tournament and confirm if he is N-otoko or not =)

@Blade Many thanks! Uploaded to GG.ru @Aegis Where did those two (faust and slayer) came from? And do you have the others? =)

A nice chat you have here. From my personal experience as a Venom versus Axl, my 5S or 2S range is the last place where I want to be in this matchup (neutral position, no balls around). In the best case scenario, I successfully poke and summon the ball... only to go to block and be pushed away from the ball. In worst case, I get a counter-hit and\or knockdown off Rensen ([4]6S). And risk\reward is not in Venom's favor here. Of course if I ever get a full screen distance, this is good. And getting close _with a ball summoned_ is good for Venom as well. But significiant part of the game is the midrange, and Venom cannot effectively get off midrange (jump is banned, poking is risky, dashing without balls is suicide) except by blocking =) Also, during attack Venom may have more mixups with balls out, but Axl does more damage. Period. And in close range, TK Bomber >>>> TK madstruggle =) So I cannot agree that this matchup favors Venom as much as 6-4. I'd rather say that it is pretty even, like 5-5 or something. It is just may feel heavier for Axl players because you have to alter game plan significantly, but it isn't easy for Venom as well - normally you aren't punished for summoning balls from the other side of screen ))

Wow guys You rock =)

AFAIK, Goga took the GG singles =) We'll see tomorrow about team tourney...

BigHugeLabs sucks.

Superior? This is superior.

Nice one, as usual. Good job, guys! =)

The only one I was able to find so far: upd: heh, I'm late =)

mr_tolkien Sorry, I don't recall any Slash-specific RK arts... which is kinda logical since RK was introduced in #R =) Can you please explain what are you looking for?

This one? =)

deadlite True. That's because no one has ripped 'em yet.

It is as complete as internets get... to my best knowledge. I mean, if there is a background ripped by someone we lack at gg.ru, just name it.

deadite Lacking what?

I don't think I ever suggested them investing more efforts in whole SBO-video deal. Quite contrary, what I suggest is to invest LESS efforts and make a less-demanding digital copy (pay-per-download of donation-based or whatever). This would lead to drastic reduction of production cost-and-time and, in the same time, will make it EASIER for fighters around the world to immediately buy their product. So what I say is that it is their business model that is flawed and dramatically outdated - by 5 years at least. Which is really much for a 'digital' era. Especially in times of need and recession.

Maybe there is something wrong with their offer then, not with their customers? Waiting for months till DVD release, then more waiting - for weeks till DVD arrives? Or maybe (this year) it will help 'em to learn that denying the product will not earn them any money either. But whatever. I already saw matches from 2010 on a public video service. I have a bunch of previous GG SBO DVD, and I already ordered Feb. Arcadia, but this is _slow_, and they don't offer anything faster then that (although they perfectly could make a digital version and sell it). So, what's wrong with "youtube" version again?

@Blade Sorry, mate, but did you meant me to upload those three to gg.ru? I was kinda thinking that I should wait for the rest of them, to make a zip package as I usually do, but maybe you're waiting for me to do something? If yes, I can upload those three any time.

Yeah, that was fun =)
