Shenmue Dojo & First 4 Figures 70 Man Battle Competition

[Wolfgame]

I jumped in to pre-order the exclusive edition, how could I not. I may still take a stab at uploading a time on this though. I don't expect to win, but who couldn't use an opportunity to play more Shenmue :-)

Which one's the prize? I wouldn't mind a mini Phoenix Mirror.

yh, this needs more promoting. Ziming any chance of a youtube?

Adam Koralik has plans to upload a video. He's a huge Dreamcast enthusiast and a fan of Shenmue.

Yes, this is true.

The Exclusive version, with the phoenix mirror base.

Ziming will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you win the contest and you've already pre-ordered the Exclusive statue, you'll get your order free of charge.

If I'm right about that then perhaps it should be added to the rules page to encourage more entries.

[Fenix]

I think I'll take part on it. But I reject the prize. Some of you must know I ordered the statue and I don't want to deprive someone to win it (speaking in case I'm even able to make the 1st time, witch I doubt). Just to play with you, guys.

[Yokosuka Martian]

I will either need to use a video capture card, or record with a potato

[Let's Get Sweaty]

I will need to record with a potato

Fixed that for you, in line with the contest rules.

(And it's not as hard as you'd think - potatoes have eyes, after all.)

My video about this is up.

I wonder if the 100+ hours I spent maxing out every move will finally pay off.

There's no doubt I forgot about which save file that was and over-wrote it


Edit -- I still have the file! Huh. I gotta work on not sucking at free battle...I'm rusty. Also have to master throw moves and not the stupid counter throws. And find a way to record a video, I'm technologically impaired. Will current fast times be publicized so we know what we have to best, or is it a mystery?

A couple of Sega fan sites have reported on the competition: SEGADriven.com / SEGAnews.net

[ShenSun]

Update: who ever removed that idiot from the site, I thank you.

To clarify: Are variety of moves/fighting style only considered when there is a tie in time? So, if someone finished in 3 minutes flat button mashing the X button, would they win over the person who finished in 3 minutes and 2 seconds, but used some bad-ass combos and stylistic choices?

[Birty]

This is fantastic! I'm surprised nobody has come up with this idea before....very cool!

Your are not going to get the fastest time button smashing your way through it, and it's highly unlikely we will have a tie because the timer utilizes milliseconds. The fastest times I've seen are all from Japan. Do you believe they accomplished it by mashing the X button?
