COme on do something.......wow seriously

[kungfujoe]

That was Allan, heckling me before jumping up on stage and attacking. We didn't plan that part very well, and the joke didn't work very well (no one had any way to know that the heckler and the attacker were the same person). It works even worse on video.  We should've tried to get him a spotlight or something.

3 Section Staff is my favorite weapon. This fight scene was very enjoyable, and I give it 4 stars. Oh and nice touch with Shadow Warrior theme!

[CYRUSsoreal1987]

yeah, I would like to see two noobs try to get more explosive with those real weapons. talk about pain and humiliation.

[FinalFantasy10RO]

I watch this cuz im a huge fan of suikoden 5!!!

[poopiesex]

awful i would knock him flat on his face

[timoteo123456789]

it was kinda slow, like the movements werent coneccted, it didit look like a real fight, even though its a choreographed fight it must look more real

[gammaray3694]

that was very goo it gave mesome new tri staff ideas

[shinigami852]

no actually I have actuall weapons and I knew that you guys were acting, it was pretty good for single attempts

[kungfujoe]

Weapons vary greatly in weight, which I've already addressed. Another issue is that I lived 400 miles away. I visited Ithaca twice for wedding planning trips, and we put this together during my spare time in those trips. I'm happy with the result, but there's always room for improvement. The biggest issue is a false comparison with movie-fu, where they have very light weapons, the luxury of multiple takes, and are professional performers. We had to do it in one take and avoid injury & mistakes.

[shinigami852]

lmfao have u ever even held any of those weapons? there weight is always told as heavy but they are quite light

[crazyfreakypunk]

sorry for the comment i just realized how heav the weapons are. You better kick those peoples asses because of there insults. keep up the good work

[crazyfreakypunk]

your movements, attacks, counters, and defenses needs to be improved
