Special Demonstrations ver1.1 #08: Battle Garegga (T3-神威, 20.83mil ALL, Gain)

This is a re-release of the original Special Demonstrations #08 replay, except:
- the annotations (which were lost when YouTube removed the Annotations system from their services) are now burned into the video,
- the video is now in 1080p 60fps, and
- the design of the video layout is now updated to match more recent releases in the series.

- - - - -

These are the Special Demonstrations, a series of high quality replays by some of the best shooting game players out there, donated by the players themselves. As with the past SD releases, the motto is "great players deserve high quality replays", and I hope to continue that with every successive release.

The series is captured by the players themselves, and the raw footage is then processed by myself using Final Cut Pro X, Motion and Compressor into something that hopefully resembles a commercial replay release.

I was recently in Japan for annual leave from work, to go sightseeing and to meet up with my friends over there, including Erhune, Paprika, adversity1, T3-神威 (Kamui), SOF-WTN, Clover-TAC, TATEHA, Alfarabi and many others. While there, Kamui very kindly gave me a DVD with a number of replays on it, including one of her most recent WR, and asked if I could edit it for her.

Well, of course I would. No need to ask, it’d be my pleasure. ^_^

So here we are. The Special Demonstrations series has exclusive access to the WR replay for Gain, and in an extra special treat, Kamui herself has provided some in-depth commentary of her strategies throughout the run. There's a lot of technical and strategic information in there, and it's a rare thing to learn some new tricks from it.

It's a rare, intimate glimpse into the thought processes of the world’s best Garegga player. :3

Once again, many thanks to Kamui herself for being so kind to send me the original replays unasked for, of which became the inspiration for the Special Demonstrations series, for taking the time to annotate her own replay, and for working with me in its creation. Keep up the good work, Kamui!
