Just tell me how to tape it and we'll do it

You'll need a video capture device and a lot of hard drive space in order to capture a decent Episode 3 battle.

I found a couple of old battle videos yesterday, along with some card auctions. I'll see about uploading some of them later today.

I found some old videos from the time period when I hit 100%. Here are the first two:

Card Auction (75 MB):

30 Minute Battle (186 MB):

The card battle takes place immediately after the card auction. Aneka (Tact) and I squared off against McRing (Saiffy) and Gold (PJ). Gold constructed a new machine deck for the match to try out his new Epsilon. Aneka used a Break deck with several creatures of various alignments. I used an all-around Kylria deck, while McRing used a Relmitos Slicer/Double Saber deck.

The match started off pretty well for my side. However, I soon ran into problems because I didn't have any def cards. They were all at the bottom of my deck. Fortunately, I was able to use the appropriate ones when I really needed them.

The match is fairly long, but does convey what a typical online match would be like. You have to closely coordinate your offensive/defensive strategies with your partner. Also, you can see where there were a couple of turning points in the battle.

After the match ends, you can see where I obtain the Del Rappy and Red Ring cards. Since I won the Dark Flow in the auction, I didn't receive the final cards until I competed in a battle.

The videos are encoded with XVid. If anyone would be interested in seeing the follow-up video "Del Rappy versus Epsilon", let me know and I'll upload it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the battle video also contains a glitch where a Sinow Red shows up with misplaced textures.

Del Rappy versus Epsilon? Sounds like an Epic battle I wouldn't want to miss! I'll be interested in seeing it!

[Jarek]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy did you have Z pressed for the entire match? ;x Maybe you're used to it, but it just bugged me...a lot.. Other than that, video was fine.
And you should upload that other video too.
Didn't you record an auction once when I was there? XD I'd watch that also if you had it.

[VR-Raiden]

Having Z pressed is a good thing, it allows you to see what action cards and in what order the opponent uses them.

I kept wanting to rotate the camera, and view cards, like spectators normally can.

Here is the follow-up:

The idea behind this battle is that Gold wanted test his Epsilon against my Del Rappy. So, I partnered with McRing and Gold chose a COM teammate. McRing kept the COM distracted while Gold and I waited to summon the monsters. The video begins on the turn where I summon Del Rappy.

Here is a short overview of the decks that were being used:
Me: High-Cost Ruins Deck using Rufina
Gold: High-Cost Machines Deck using Reiz
McRing: Saligun deck with double sabers.
COM: Ohgun with Pan-Arms

The video is about 10 minutes long (100 MB) and was encoded with XViD.

I remember in the Sonic Team page there were uploaded videos of the matches of the official tournaments like famitsu Cup and so on.
I have no idea if they are still there. You can try to investigate. I may check too. I even believe I downloaded some video from official cups.

I will keep updating with stuff I find:

Game Gather Cup Report
- No videos just a few pics and info on the developings of the final phase of the cup.

http://www.phantasystarmonthly.com/download.htm
- There you can download some movies. June '04 from minutes 7 to 9:30 has a video of the final match of g1 cup (aka gather cup)

http://www2.sega.co.jp/movie/pso3_fcup.wmv
- A video of Famitsu Cup. I don't remmber if it was the final. There are a few cuts if not video would be 30 min long but whole battle can be followed. A shame Ring won... A turn more and lemon-bomb could have a won a tournament with a hunter, as guykild!

http://tails04.sonicteam.com/pso3/vi...703/page1.html Official Picture Thread of Episode 3 in Sonic Team page.
There is thousands of pictures that ep3 players uploaded during game lifetime

Here's my archive of the cups. I make no guarantee about the SFW of this stuff (in fact i know for certain I labeled one as NSFW)

I see how since the Z button was pressed how it could annoy people, I mean if the screen didn't change to become darker it wouldn't bother to have it on all the time, but it does and just makes me feel like it's different. VR-Raiden I didn't know it did that though. Thanks for the info.
