how do i do moves such as kazuya mishima's rising uppercuts extremely fast, like continiously.

By undertaking some form of martial arts and training religiously. - Akamad 08:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NOOOO in the game!!!!

How could you hit them continuously, since you knock them down with every hit? They'll get a chance to come back up and counterattack! Well, you could hit them if they try to roll before getting up, though. Oh well, here's Kazuya's movelists. --JDitto 03:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Piano Piece

edit

Hi,

I'm trying to find out the name of a piece of music with the aim of downloading a copy of it played. I'll try and describe it for you: it's for two people (duet); the left side person plays c, a, f, g over and over with their left hand slowly whilst playing the chord note by note up an octave with their right hand. So it'd go left hand low c, right hand c-e-g (note by note) up an octave, left hand low a, right hand a-c-e (note by note) up an octave etc etc. All this is played in fairly low notes, maybe two octaves from the left end of the piano. While Person A is playing that, Person B is playing way up the other end of the piano (maybe two octaves from the right end). He plays a little tune which goes from memory c-c-c <pause> c-b-a-b-c-d-e-e-e <pause> e-d-c-d-e-f-g-c-a-a-a <pause> a-g-f-e-d-c-c-c-b-a-a-a-g-f-f-f-f-g-a-b-c-c-c. Which is all played in kind of a triplety tune. Hopefully someone can interpret all that and get an answer! Many thanks --124.176.236.204 00:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would be Heart and Soul. NPR had an interesting story on the song that's well-worth listening to [1]. Donald Hosek 03:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Motion Picture Ratings

edit

Does anyone know how I can go about getting the historical MPAA ratings for a film? For example (this is hypothetical): The film Gone with the Wind came out in 1939, before ratings existed. Then, in 1968 (when ratings were initiated), the film was submitted to MPAA for a rating and received an "R". Then, in 1974, it was resubmitted to MPAA and it was re-rated as "PG". Then, in 2000, it was resubmitted to MPAA and it was re-rated as "G". Clearly, many films came out before 1968; clearly, many films have been submitted and resubmitted since for ratings and re-ratings. As such, a film's ratings can -- and does -- change over time. What might be shocking or inappopriate in 1972 might get an "R" ... but by today's standards might be re-rated to a "PG". Is there anywhere where such historical ratings for a particular film might be found? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 01:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Where is the proof that GWTW received an "R"? That seems highly unlikely. Midnight Cowboy had an X when it first came out, but got re-rated to an R. Corvus cornix 19:25, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As the OP stated clearly, that was a hypothetical example. Algebraist 21:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Try IMDB. For example, if you look up Midnight Cowboy, the ratings are marked as: "USA:R (re-rating) (1971) / USA:X (original rating)". -- Kainaw(what?) 22:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Multicart described here. More info including location of download preferably if there is a legal loophole enabling it (such as the fact that copyright holders won't make money anyway). Also list of characters in SF2 clone please. 71.34.249.233 03:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
