Hi,
Some of you may know me as the guy who does stuff on Shoryuken.com's front page (and occasionally, on FSD's front page as well). Now if you may recall, last week I actually ran a couple of round up articles with Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate related content. This week however, it seems that we're getting less DOA5U related content to post on our front page. This is disturbing since with other fighting games (e.g. Injustice, Persona, Skullgirls) we'd got tons of combo videos and tutorials during the first few weeks/months of the game.
Now I'm sure some of you are already starting to type replies on how they've uploaded so-and-so number of match vids during the past week. Here's the thing however, match vids don't really count, not at this point in time when A) the game is new and there are alot of new players and B) many of the top players aren't really recognized by most people coming into the game yet. The kind of content that DOA5U needs at this point in time is useful stuff such as tutorials and combo videos - content that presents data in an easily understandable manner. This is the kind of content that can both help people level up and get people actually interested in the game.
Now, you may be thinking "but I don't have no expensive $200 capture card or $500 video software" The truth is, you don't need that kind of equipment, nor software. It helps, especially if you want something that looks professional, but even just a simple cellular phone camera can do the trick (as I did back in vanilla DOA5 when I made a video about the bugged new backdash that certain characters had). All it takes is a bit of creativity and know how and the desire to actually help the community by putting out content.
