KO - Gathering

I'm pretty much into recording videos these days. I had the tools to do it, but nothing really interesting to publish.
A few days ago, I recorded a test match of online kick off, played against logos. Even if everything wasn't perfect, it gave satisfying results.

So, yesterday, Logos and I decided to capture all of our 10 matches and make a goal compilation out of it. I hope you enjoy it, we are Dagh's official sparring partners after all Logos plays with team A (yellow), I play with team B (blue).

If you watch it full screen, you might even see our comments at the very top of the screen ^^ . Does online kick off look like offline kickoff, hum ?

Warning ! It lasts 10 minutes, the music may break your ears and the way youtube messes up my video quality can alter your sight !

Of course, all comments are welcome If you like it, we'll make some more !

That's pretty impressive Rayge. What was the ping of the players?

Thank you !

Hard to tell, we have a common ping ( it's the time taken by data to go from my computer to the peer's and back, so it's obviously the same for both in peer to peer mode) , with logos i usually have 67ms, when i play with Dagh it's more like 110ms, but still good. Pings can't be compared to the pings in server mode in any way (in servers, ping is the time taken by data to reach the server... not the peer's computer, so they can differ from each other ... hope it's clear hehehe) .... except if they're very high, of course. I used to play very accurately in server mode with greek guys ( i m from France ), so in peer to peer, it should be all good. Don't trust the numbers

And cheers Spyros for the little visit in the chatroom, just to say hello. It always pleases us.

This is a great goal-athon video! Some real quality finishing , some funny, some I could see coming but many others not. Well done! Definately will be adding to the The KO2 Video Library

Enjoyed the music too - what's the name of the tracks?

Thanks a lot . I have to tell you (sorry i like putting private messages in public ) I personally admire your "born in the koa" video as well. Not about skills, or specific quality, just the whole video brings big feelings. I discovered it recently, and I have to tell you this video made me understand a very important aspect of the KOA life... I can expect as much as I want from the online matches, nothing will replace the friendship and shared passions that can be seen in all the tournaments. I have to thank you for that.
Does it mean I'm in for some tournaments next year ? Errrr, yes, I think so

And weee, logos, we made it to the library ! it took us months, but we did it !!

The tracks are listed in the youtube description, along with greetings to the whole KOA. All are from French artists, just for a first vid, I had to show some identity. I don't like this sort of music at all hehehe, but I needed something as fast as the game and the feeling of a "killer instinct" to match the goals style (not sure it worked). I mostly listen to reggae, maybe reggae can go with a "flower landing" lob compilation !
Mano Negra - Santa Maradona (their main singer was Manu Chao)
Noir Désir - Tostaki
Daft Punk - Revolution 909

Cheers Rayge. I had much fun putting it together and wanted it to be a tribute to all that's good about the KOA! I was thrilled when Alkis told me of his plans to use it in Athens!

Excellent vid, Rayge! I personally only like the first track, the second one was a bit too much for me. Definitely some nice goals there.

Great Video!

Thank you !!

And welcome to the KOA forums. We're looking forward to knowing you

Sadly we improved too much since this vid, ultra lobbing doesn't work anymore against logos and dagh

Don't feed the forum bots, Rayge

My computer is probably happy that I didn't click his link

Anyway, a little conversation among ourselves will never hurt, even if initiated by a bot. It's not like we are overwhelmed by interest in this remote desert of the KOA anyway

Oh no ! I thought we had a new friend ahahah.

hehe

Rayge, it's your friend again!
