Lucky 7 (Part 2): Behind the Visions

Comments and tidbits behind the 2nd Lucky 7 video.

Nin: I am not an Nina user but I am pretty proud of this one. I had to show that the combo only does 6 hits, 77 damage and that when you add the poison breath (which does zero damage), you will get 7 hits, 77 damage.

Bru: Brandon's 2nd contribution to the video. Alot of 777's can be found by doing a high launcher onto a wall, bounding and doing a staple ender as Brandon found out. Good job.

Bry: I really like how Combot aka TRKT aka Kameron's name came out. I actually wish I didn't designed my name tag so earlier because everyone elses that came later seem cooler then mine LOL.

Jac: I spent a good 20 mins trying to get this combo on the Cementary stage and the last hit kept wall carrying and giving me 7 hits, 78 damage ARGGH! I then tried it on Anger of the Earth and got it first go. Combo starter timed with 'fly' part of the song.

Ali: Timed with 'once I get you up there'. One of many staple combos that happen to do 777.

AK: As per Kameron's name, I like how Quentin's name came out. LOL remember when you were maining AK Quen? Yep, back when you found this combo.

Hei: Moku transition FTW. Also I did this with an Xbox 360 pad :-D

Rav: I like unique ways of 'charging up' and this was one of them.

Yos: After letting Yoshi getting beat up all the time in the glitchy stage, I decided to let Yoshi get some action as well. Also a big welcome to Noodlehead aka Tasty Pipi from Indiana. Thanks for your contributions man.

Bru: Hands down one of my favorite 777's. Simply because the fact that I used Bruce's basketball item move and ended it with b+2 aka 'Jesus'.

Rog: Timed with 'Fly' again (for people wondering why I used this song, this is why. It's perfect for launch heavy combo videos). I do like how the first hit broke the wall and the 2nd hit sends Jin flying. Nice one Dave.

Ann: Nice usage of Anna's built in crouch dash Quen.

Kin: Most of King's staple iSW combo do 7 hits, 78 damage or 76 damage. I know, fail LOL This is one of the few iSW enders that do 777.

Bry: Ironically, N0iZE's Bryan 777 combo also ended with ws+3,4. Linkage to the first video.

DJ: Another one of my faves. The lazer out of the unblockable attempt and crouch dash into f,n,d,df+1,uf makes me smile. This combo however shouldn't be a surprise for some because I previously upload it (not direct capture tho).

Bae: Again timed with 'once I get you there' :-) It wasn't easy to get all these combos timed perfectly, trust me.

Fen: This combo is thanks to Tony T from Australia. I saw a combo similar to this one in one of his earlier Feng T6 vids. Also extended chi charge plus item move.

Pau: So many highlights in this one to me. The ws+1,d+1 FB! was nice and the non just frame, just frame ender is pimp.

Yos: Remember when you going to main Yoshi too Quen? LOL

Jac: Again timed with 'fly with me'. I like how you intentionally whiffed the first hit Kam, nice thinking outside the box.

Hwo: In the original part 2 vid (more on that in another blog) this combo was in the 2nd part (i.e I get a Kick out of You). During the editting process tho I decided to put in alot earlier in the video and add it to 'fly' bit.

Ann: Mike's favorite combo with Anna, ironically, this is also the still they used for combo video on UTube. I like how it started and ended the same.

Jac: Another innovative one from Skeez, ws+1,2 Floor Braking was pretty nice.

Yos: Sorry Josh I couldn't get the 'flash' to connect after the 4~3. BTW lol your name is sooo you.

Kaz: I remember seeing a set up similar to this in a very early T6 combo video but it ended differently. BTW this combo is NOT easy.

Yos: LOL took me a second to realize that the first hit post FB! had to be close to a wall.

Mar: Craig air throw ender montage :-D

DJ: Timed with 'kick'. Found this one when I tried to main DJ. Realized constant electrics is too much work without a Xbox controller.

Jin: It's not a coincidence that Jin came on after DJ. Also this combo took me a minute but man was it worth it.

Ste: Steve (a boxer) kicking timed with the song. This stuff writes itself.

Jul: Julia was actually not represented well in both videos and that is really my bad. I should have found some more. I got one more with a funny story for the 'left over' video.

Mig: Any combo with Mig's stomp aka 'The Frankie' has to be in this video. Had the same problem that I had with Jack's one where the last hit wall carried and kept giving me 7 hits, 78 damage.

Bob: Bob's ass ender = instant inclusion. Hope you liked it Bran.

Mok: Mokujin only combo? LOL Drag thinks so. I also have a Moku-Bear only combo that I could never record again after 'The Great Purge'. I might try to record it again for the 'left over' video.

Edd: Ronald McDonald custom FTW!

Chr: Ended with a kick, yep, it's the reason why I used this song.

Fen: Lots of 777 combos were found on Cementary by everybody. It was a long process of elimination on which ones I wanted to use and which ones I would leave out.

Asu: Queen of the 777. Also overall, I had 11 Asuka 777 combos with contributions from me, Sluch and Damon. Girl is Lucky, too bad she can't punish properly lol.

Lee: Boot timed with the song. It works.

Hei: Ahhh this damned combo. This combo is the reason why Part 2 was delayed. More about this in my 'Great Purge' blog but onto this combo. First, different chi charge up. Next, the stone-head does not get a damage boost but the b+3,3 does the Omen Thunder Godfist ender (thanks Helping Hand tutorials lol) clinches the deal.

Bry/Lei: Item move 777's make me very :-D. Also I tried not to use too many transitions during this video but this one called for one.

Kaz: Another combo I previously uploaded. If you read this blog, you know that I originally planned to have this combo timed with an SF X T transition but I decided to not go with it for the final product. Also shout out to 101 Strings- 'I got you under my skin'. I felt they would be appropriate for the 'credits' scene.

Leo: I wish the transition was better. Leo ended with a charge up and went directly into a CH combo. Skeez again finds a different way to FB!

Law: Not timed with a song but look at the song credits :-)

Lil: Final Moku transition combo. Boy, it was a nightmare getting these moku transition combos. Getting a specific character with Mokujin on a specific stage is probably the reason why these transition combo have not been seen before the 777 combos.

Mar: Again, look at the song credits.

Rav: LOL fail. The song credit was surposed to be timed with the df+3.

Yos: Any combo with f,n,d,df+1 = Yessss

Wan: Staple 777, Wanning Moon damage not included.

Pau: LOL I wish I could see a match where Paul's sign item move would hit, let alone be counter hit. Paul had a couple 777's but most of them ended with demo man or demo man into a wall hit so I decided to go with the more unique ones.

Ste: When Kris told me about this one, I knew it had to be last combo in the video. It's just a perfect ender for a unique video. Congrats on find this one Kris.

Well that's that for Part 2. I have one more part planned but this is the 'left over' video so don't expect anything spectacular in that one. I will also do a blog and explain why these combos were left out. I recorded them so I decided to not let them go to waste.

Lucky 7: A Tekken Concept Combo Video (Part 2)

Part 2 is finally here.

It wasn't looking good for a minute due to the 'Great Purge' (more on this in a later blog) but we made it.

Enjoy!

A blog will follow this, with my usual info and tidbits behind the video. Also exclusive to this blog will be a final video, with the left-over combos and reasoning why they were left out.

P

Jupiter's Cock!

LOL such a colorful cuss word from the wonderful world of Spartacus: Blood & Sand (great show btw).

I really was aiming to release the part 2 of 'Lucky 7' today but I made a massive error that is going to set me back. I am really pissed that I could be so stupid.

With this new news, the video will probably be delayed to early next week.

EXCLUSIVE: King's of 777

Whilst Asuka is the queen of 777 combos (you see alot more of her in Part 2 of 'Lucky 7'), it is without a doubt that the Kings are the Mishima clan (including Jin of course).

I noticed I had a couple excess Mishima combos so I decided to splice them into a montage and viola. King's of 777!

Think of this as an interlude to the main event, 'Lucky 7' (Part 2). Some of these combos will be re-used for the full 'Left-Overs' video and I'll write a blog explaining why they were left out of Parts 1 and 2.

Enjoy!!

P

P.S. Not to brag but I did all these combos with my Xbox 360 controller. Yep, that hunk of junk maybe be horrible for fighters but it is good for EWGF's lol.

Announcement: Xbox LIVE Live

So I've been pretty quiet on my Xbox Live account when it's come to the Tekken. The last one was Xbox Live Sessions 20 and I stopped playing online so much because of a couple reasons.

1) Boosters and Hack Accounts: These guys really took the fun out of Rank battle. Why is it worth getting a nice high rank if people rage quit when they are about to lose and rob you of your well deserved point? Hackers have stolen the top spots and Xbox Live hasn't descredited them (Tho I bet if this was Call of Duty they would definately be more 'up in arms').

2) Lag: I was playing in alot of offline tournaments and the lag affected my offline game because I would start doing easier juggles and eating stuff I shouldn't (low juggle starting sweeps and throws).

3) General douches: People sending hate mail because they suck and didn't know how to play. 'Nuff Said.

However with my direct capture software, I can now capture matches live without having to record it later with my digital camera and also if they rage quit against me, they will remained called out for your bish hashness.

So yes, I'm back, depending on lag and how many people are online.

Beware, the scourge of Xbox Live is reborn.

Lucky 7 (Part 1): Behind the Scenes.

The intro: Speaks for itself, well timed with Dean crooning "How LUCKY can one guy be". From the beginning, me and Kris/ Krono wanted 'Lucky 7' to use lounge/ Rat Pack era music. I figured it would be oddly appropriate for a video about luck since the guys sings about it so much. It seems some people didn't like the different approach and couple contribute to some of the 'dis-likes' the video has gotten.

Zaf: I tried to time the kick in the head with the song and Zaf's up first because of the line in the song "I kissed her and she kissed me".

Kaz: Shout outs to Noize for collaborating with us. Also I originally had your name as Noise lmfao my bad man. I went back in and changed it tho (note to self- keep raw footage next time).

Jac: Skeez's name is in green because he is a troll and he knows it LOL

Rog: Enter the Gecko's name is green as well for obvious reasons. I also stopped the combo prematurely because it wouldn't be 777 if I continued it after the B!

Bae: Timed with the song, sure it's a kick to the crotch but still. Shout outs to Quan/ Daddy Neptune. Holla at me with another combo so you won't be left out of part 2.

Asu: Yah for Damon. One of the ELEVEN Asuka combos we all found together. People say the first hit is not 'guranteed' so that's kind of sucky but it read 777 so I used it. Also Sorry if I didn't do your name as Lord CoCoichi.

Jin: Kick in the head, timed correctly. Crumbs came up with the idea for the Kuma big head combo first, props! oh and notice after the FB! I did a normal electric because a just frame would up the damage and that's a no no.

Mig: This combo actually took me a minute to do. it's the whole hold forward then hold backward aspect I think. Krono's name came out really good too.

Pau: Innovative f,f+4 ender Skeez.

Lei: The first Mokujin ender. It was not seemless tho but I kinda wanted the first one to be kind of raw so it caught people's eye.

DJ: This would have been a Moku ender but it's a nightmare to get Moku DJ, normal DJ and on a specific stage.

Ann: Love how Yoshi disappears into the glitchy background.

Hwo: Not guranteed, but it is a JFSR ender and timed with 'kick'.

AK: Elbow to head... good enough :-)

Kin: Even tho the Wall throw does multiple hits, it still only counts as 1 hit, hence 777.

Asu: Debut of item move 777's. I've been told the db+4,3 is not guranteed but the combo counter said 777 and I just could not resist.

Kum: Strange final resting position and the bear side-steps funny. Skeez represents for all the Bear players.

Rav: Unblockable interupt debut. The combo normal does a paltry amount for 7 hits. Hitting Kuma as he starts his unblockable jacks the damage up to 77.

Wan: Soul Bushido/ Brandon's debut. Originally timed with 'hit's the sky' but got messed up during the editing process.

Lil: Same principle as King's one above, again multiple hits from the throw but they only count as one. Nice find Sluch.

Kum: I freaking love how Skeez was able to put uf+3+4 in a combo. Very innovative.

Bru: He can do 77 damage, no bound, no walls. Pretty retarted.

Law: I try to use as many unique 'chi' charges as I could. You will see more unique ways to charge up in Part 2.

Leo: That ender was the money shot for me.

Nin: The seemless Mokujin edit. Kind of proud of this one. Hopefully I'll get more like this in Part 2.

Bry: Lucky fella (for people who think 'That's Amore' wasn't appropriate for Lucky 7 here is you reason why I choose it). The double knee ender is pimp so I had to repeat it.

Yos: Found this by accident when I was mucking around with Yoshi as a sub main. The other two Yoshi combos are much better tho hence why they are saved for Part 2.

Lar: HIS ON FIRE!!!

Lucky 7: A Concept Combo Video

And it's finally here.

I am exhausted from doing a PR run on SRK/ TZ so I won't be posting too much in this blog. Plus if you been reading my blog, you'll know how big this is.
