missing some damn pak file every time. (q4replay says i have everything i need)

Mostlikely a version conflict

good call (it was monsoon)

anyway, amazing demos. i just wish it were easier to see blood like it is in quake 3 because you'd get to see just how many straight hits fooki gets with LG

errr your can't see that?

yeah but it isn't nearly as conspicuous (at least to me)

rename paycheck arena to fooki rape house of love in rapetown

well, i didnt expect any other outcome than fooki winning it TBH.

:---)

Watching fooki makes me like q4. =]

Watching fooKi makes me moist.

You mean hard.

How do you know? Maybe she's a hippy chick ;)

I meant hard nipples foo :>

ive watched wb final against winz and 1 game vs ahzaz on galang

i can say one thing, very very nice, its incredible how he controls the maps without making almost a single mistake!

and his aim is amazing also, but this isnt a suprise since he plays usually on low/lowest ping only

nicely done dude! congratulations!

and btw winz i think that this guy "show'ed' u something without railgun" ;]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

Pro's should be less secretive. I'm sure they do it because they think it helps their chances at big money events... but they could be like James Bond instead - the more you see, the less you know.

Impressive play. Smooth from start to finish.

this guy is good!

Can´t watch it couse q4 says that i don't have q4max 0.72 .. But the funny thing is..I have.

Do you know what is even funnier? I cant actually watch the demos I recorded on my own PC because it says I dont have all the files! gg Q4.

do a check for missing files with q4replay. I had some problem with it too, it said i was missing some files from the older q4max. I putted them in the q4max dir, and the demo ran...

No, i dont think you understand m8. These demos are the ones i recorded on my pc and its the same pc im now trying to play them back on :p Logic says that if it was ME that recorded the demos and i was therefore on the server to record them, I should be able to play them back lol.

heh, tick "demo_enforceFS" in the Q4Replay red, it should work then.

Nice, Fooki's my fav player. Stupidly<< talented and in a different league to 99% of other players. And that includes others who think they are pros:)

P.S.
Fooki should be going to New York for Clanbase :(

Good! We didn't know that yet, fanboy!

hope you got your reading glasses on you.

nice monsoon match!

why do comments have to be approved by admin?

It's only for your first 10 posts

The admin regime feels to censorship certain abusive comments for the greater public good!

in other words, they dont want flamers registering accounts, getting banned, and registering new ones to flame with. now the flamers have to work for it by posting 10 non-retarded comments before they can flame. daryl must have figured out this system.

ah good to see that monsoon is not only pure fun to play, but also to watch :-)

Really, really enjoyed this!

All shoutcast recordings for the tournament are below.

http://www.filecloud.com/user/files.php?category_id=504343 6 matches to choose from. I havent had time to make democasts, but if anyone wants to make them feel free, I have the demos for most of these matches that macthes the casts if anyone needs them.

wp all and gg paycheck arena.

His shaft was two times better than mine.
Deserved win,

Congratz.

So he was all shaft?

I dont think he means that, you are just reading it that way. From my pov having covered all 4 maps between them, I have to say that they both railed superbly, both used rockets superbly and both had excellent tactics, the difference between the two (in my opinion and maybe winz) was that fooki was better with the shaft than winz and there was hardly anything in it with other weapons or other basis of the games they played.

fooki was certainly not all shaft as the demos will testify.

I'm just reading what he said. The difference in scores between the two was quite big for a final and I'm confident there is a lot more behind the scenes than a better shaft to generate those sorts of scores. And as you said they were even with the other weapons then I'll leave them out of it.
Getting into position to inflict those shots are what really counts and that's very hard to spot and take for granted.

I seriously doubt fooKis shaft was TWICE as good as good as Winz as a lot of the top players all shaft within a few % of each other.
It might have seemed that way becasue of the way fooKi positioned himself, but that is also a skill which can't be measured with % and IMO sepearates the good from the really good.
Put two good players in a square box room and both will be almost identical in aim, th real skill is when they are put in an arean with timings, levle design etc.
That's the real difference. People need to recognise that instead of implying it's down to something so simple like aim on a certain weapon.

Nothing we can do, you are definitly retarded.

Truth hurts huh?

If calling someone a retard helps you then that's fine.

P.S.
There is an E in Definitely. Love Jamerio.

Of course saying his shaft was 2 times better than mine was exagerated, but I didn't mean it the way you got it. I lost all of the shaft fights, that's what I meant.
You must be retarded to take it as it was the pure reality and start flaming me when I finally just congratulated him for both, the win and his aim. And you should be even more retarded to not get it.
Why the fuck would it hurt ? It's not very likely I was caring about your opinion.

I don't even know why I'm arguing, it's pointless.

I never diss'd you once, nor did I really believe you actually meant his shaft was twice as good. His shaft is not even twice as good as mine and that's saying something!
As I said, most good players shaft within a few % of each other.

The problem I had was that YOU IMPLIED his win was down to shaft as it's the only thing you mentioned.
I just said even if his shaft was better, there are other skills he's employing to convert his slightly better shaft %'s into real points.
I just think that's worth recognising because many people choose to take those skills for granted.

P.S.
It's not arguing, it's a forum, thing's get discussed:)

I never denied that, you are getting the evil when there is not man.

I know, but you never acknowledged it either, yet you choose to acknowledge the shaft.
Anyway, np. Just something that I picked up on:O

Fine ;-)

I would get banned from this site for this kind of posting by now

NakedESRadmins.jpg ftw.

And fyi aim can be a factor, sure pros shaft within a few % on average, but everybody can have a bad game, and everybody can have a good game, and when one player has a good game and the other has a bad game it is very possible that one will shaft twice as good as the other. I have seen this more than once with pro players. (And once the guy who came up with 1/2 of the shaft%, won anyway, so moot point)

Guh huh .. you two are arguing about who has the better shaft .... *gniffle*

There is no e in "youre white socks"

SPELLING BEE CHAMPIONS FTW

SPELLING BEE CHAMPIONS FTW

rofl.

old old old news. write a blog or something

god you're still fucking stupid, there was nothing wrong or offensive with winz's comment.

maybe winz was using someone elses keyboard

here we go again..
the rain in spain falls mainly on the plain

thanks for the kind words. I wanna thank socrates, zeicon and rufus for helping me prepare (in one way or another). The tourney was fun and the admins were great.

These are the first set of Q4 games that actually convinced me that the competative aspect of this game is on par with Q3. Well played to both fooKi and winz, players like yourselves are what a gaming community needs.

ps fooKi, your peformance here in my opinion completely backs up your recent strategy guides in both integrity and experience, well played!

are you kidding me? the competitive level in Q4 has always been higher than it ever was in Q3. but now, fooKi, along with cooller and winz, is [are] reaching a level of truly 'professional' ability. Quake III "professionals" weren't really professional at all; they practiced routines and moves so much that everything just came naturally to them. I always proposed that if a true, professional athlete (Olympic class?) attempted to play Quake III, they would easily employ strategies to demolish the best players. But now, in recent months, I've seen from fooKi and cooller some real, hard thought strategy being employed. These guys are thinking very deeply into the game, they're not just using routines. I think this is the new wave of Quake play, and I think fooKi has advanced the gameplay to a realm comparable with professionalism.

nope

blabla you're talking shit but you probably knew this already...

since Lakerman left the q3 scene I haven't seen any "deep" proffesional behaviours

you apparently have never seen czm play...

I've seen too many czm's demos :)
czm is very good but it is too nervous but the fact is that Lakerman hace a different style of playing, different from anything I've seen it's about his movements, also, dunno
I suggest you look for laker vs fat on ztn (AMD XS Cup) for example
:D
when I see czm and cooller I see too much training just for the aim and moving, when I see Laker and ZeRo4 I see.. brains!!! not brains on the wall :)

It is impossble to gauge the skill of czm and lakerman. if you need me to explain why then obviously this thread is full of idiots. =)

paradox: nothing is impossible, even if we may find Camus and his contradictions here

or Z4muZ :O

I dissagree. I think proffesionalizm has to do with having a strat that wins period. Being able to change ur game play depending on the situation and doing it consistently. If the skill level was less in q3 so be it as long as the person made the money by imploying a strat that worked.

^^

newbie to be honest, nothing special!!!

the kitten could of done this with his eye closed!

this is the first comment i see of fooki @ esr thats actually serious!

NOICE

first and last

:------------------)

\:D/

I have q4 version 1.0.5 and q4max 0.72 but can't run demos
do I need the q4 1.0.6 version ? did you really played so nice ? does it worth the effort to patch/search/f**k my nerves with latest q4 crap files ?
:P

Fookis a shaft whore! Watching these demos, maybe fooki's lg = tox's lg? =]

>

wtf, no cfg available ? :

http://www.esreality.com/?a=users&user_id=4640

my bad ;)

always good to see a Frenchman go down!

[-] :(

In France, we hate Winz too. Don't worry.
;-)

I'd rather see Melissa Therieu go down ;)

http://www.planetfootie.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=302

fooki is really good ... i want to see a match cooller/fooki.

somebody make an avi ;(

Buy the game :) Its not so bad, and watching the demos is fun even if you dont 1v1. Only big thing missing is gtv.

ye i would like that to. not just a fooki avi, but a pca q4 tourney avi.
some really good frags thru out the whole tourney.

Wow, well played fooKi!

Of course winz did a great job to, but your style of playin is impressive.

I also enjoyed the galang demo vs. ahzaz pretty much! Thanks for these entertaining demos!

ya the demos were great!

I'll give you guys one more crouchsliding trick.

The trick is, you can use crouchsliding to move around quickly and silently. Use height + directional momentum = distance. So the higher you jump from, and the faster you're going, the farther the slide will go. You can increase the slide distance even further by using the corner turning motion.

I do long-distance slides a few times in the demo here. Although in this demo I didn't get any good sneak attacks out of them.

WTF??????

guys i get some shit error,some exception shit related to the gamex86.dll, any solns?

i once heard the dll's are extracted from the pk4 if they are missing... so you might move the file out of reach and look if a newly extracted one works..

yeah this should work... if u remove Q4max will replace it with a 'new' one...

any other options because re installed q4max 5 times now and till it aint working =(

have a look here http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1033250
and here http://www.q4max.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Demo_problems

ty i fixed it allready :D

(\/)Ô_ô(\/) Fakki ;<

This is what I call a real duel =P

http://www.bestofgooglevideo.com/video.php?video=83

ace :)

brilliant... love the crowd they are so into it... =)

nice

So that's where crouch sliding came from!

or annihilation from a little kid...

http://www.bestofgooglevideo.com/video.php?video=33

:-|

yeah.. I'v seen that.. pretty wired to let a kid "playing" with that stuff..

Cool

dang that was awesome, and yeh the crowd loved that shit

fookis secret = rolled oats pudding every morning.

nice playing fookster, your lg is almost as good as mine :) well played buddy :)

hey that's my line!

Everyone knows gameplay > graphics. But that doesn't mean graphics are meaningless. The visual aspect of a video game is half of the sensory experience (the other half being the audio). Anyone who has studied art knows you're supposed to see how a piece of art makes you feel. What is a painting? It's purely 'graphics' and nothing else. So I decided to try this CPL enforced menu-only q4 tweaks thing, since it is a rule and all.

The results were horrible. The game was utter crap with those shit tweaks. It made me feel sick. Now I understand why people hate q4 so much. It's these shit graphics CPL is trying to force upon people. Of course, I quickly switched back to my tweaked cfg q4, cause the game isn't worth it otherwise.

But, it got me thinking... the problem with q4 isn't the gameplay. The gameplay is almost identical to the great quake 3 gameplay. And the crouchsliding is a nice addition. So why do even quake 3 enthusiasts hate quake 4? It's got to be the graphics. There's pretty much nothing left. So maybe what people should work on is changing the graphical part of q4 so it feels good just looking at it. It certainly would help if arqon would stop being a cpl bitch boy and actually add some decent tweaks to the menu - like preset graphics settings including a picmip style preset. But i'm sure he has some agreement, so I say hey, tweak the game's graphics until the game is good for you personally. Why torture yourself just for money?

your f*****g "How to play back Q4 demos" is useless you'd better add info about what game and q4max version do we need
your info tells q4max 0.72 but demorunner is telling that demo is using version 0.71 :/

if you're missing paks q4replay will tell you what it is you're missing.
use search on esr
and the demo is .72 not .71

q4replay is telling me the required version is 0.71 :o
I have both versions and all the files
is not a problem with my game version? (1.0.5) I tried with demo_enforceblabla ON and OFF
what game version do I need ? q4replay is telling me demo version is 1.0.6

there's a lot of demos
which one are you trying to play?
the final demos show this

btw what's that 1.0.6 q4 version ? is that only for linux ?

fixed

have a look here http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1033250 ... might help..

well... let's see:
hgow about >> 36768-GrandFinal-fooki_winz.zip << ?
:)

yes gives me a dll error :I

search for the version converter dunno the link anymore
patch the game to 1.1 then downgrade it this way demos run ok onmy PC

got it to work allready ty anyway

Really enjoyed the Fooki and Winz games, both played really well.
Did anyone see that crazy crouch slide jump fooki did on phrantic to the LG?
Can't wait for the demos of the next big lan tourney.

Plz stop already, you're worse than all of the cooller fanboi's =] You and fooki should get a room ...

"You and fooki should get a room ..."

Not with his shaft:(

Hehe true true =]

Nice demos.
