It's not every day a combo video for VF5 gets made. In response to an enquiry made in the VF5 Ver.C Kage Combos thread on the timings required for Kage's (Shippuujin) ShouRyuZan (SRZ) "bounce" combos, I decided to put together a video. It demonstrates various SRZ combos and covers the basic and more advanced combos applicable to the entire cast. Enjoy! Also available in HD!

"hhhmmm I'm not really sure how this all came to be, but basically denkai stroking his own ego as usual about being the SELF PROCLAIMED best decided to challenged me to a first to 20 duel.

I agreed and set the date for Saturday December 17th at 3:30PM or 4PM Eastern Standard Time. Other players wanted to be an audience so now there is going to be about 5 cheer leading freeloaders taking up space on my coach running up my damn electricity bill " - Rodnutz

GodEater, by way of www.fttaenergy.com, is offering $50 to the winner!
