2. Via e-mail, I will maintain the [email protected] address, and because of google I suppose I'll receive any mail at the @gmail.com address, don't hold your breath on the latter, try to communicate with the yahoo one as I have enough accounts as it is.

3.Youtube, you can submit your entry through your own existing channel where I'll mirror it on the VST channel, just provide me a link and any info (name probably the most important as your entry name and channel name could differ). Be sure it's either public or unlisted.

4. File hosting. 4shared allows large sizes but requires a sign up (free), mediafire allows up to 50GB free, mega also allows decent sized files, you are also open to use uploaded.to, rapidshare, zippyshare, etc.

NOTE: While this will have a "recommendation" tag, that does not necessarily mean it's the only version to play, each has their own pros and cons, unless it explicitly says "avoid", it's safe to assume that any version is a good enough substitute. If you have a specific question, you can ask in thread

FAQ

151
--------------------------------
152
Can I upload to my youtube?
153
--------------------------------
154
Sure thing
155
 
156
--------------------------------
157
Can I upload it only to my youtube?
158
--------------------------------
159
I won't stop you, but it would be preferable to keep it on both channels, if you choose to do so, remind me come tournament day so I don't forget you
160
 
161
--------------------------------
162
Can I release my video early?
163
--------------------------------
164
you can, there's zero penalty for it.
165
166
--------------------------------
167
Will VST ever be monetized?
168
--------------------------------
169
No, I'm not going to monetize due to this being a community effort. If you do see any ads on any video, it's either a copyright claim (buy our music on itunes or amazon), or an entrant has gotten an insane number of views (20K views? I'm still unsure) so youtube forces ads to play on that video.
170
 
171
--------------------------------
172
Is [game] allowed in?
173
--------------------------------
174
For an overview, please consult this pastebin:
175
 
176
http://pastebin.com/4nEBBKPF
177
 
178
A summary of the bin that the games in the list are agreed upon to be a sufficient quality to be allowed. A couple of games are under review but the established community has made an agreement on the matter. A big difference here is that the tournament is no longer discussion, just show.  If you strongly utterly feel that your game could make it, then create an entry, ultimately the viewers will voice if they want more or less.
179
 
180
--------------------------------
181
What about fighting games?
182
--------------------------------
183
As a fighting game player, I am well aware how intense a match can get or how lengthy a combo can go, but the answer is no. Most combos are well known towards this end of their life as well as numerous communities putting out content on fighters on a nearly daily basis. You could stage a match (a la TAS), but those have its own community and take out the point of style tournaments.
184
 
185
--------------------------------
186
So this is just action games?
187
--------------------------------
188
Essentially yes, arcade style racers (SSX, Burnout, MK64) have been voiced as a tournament of interest, but if I ever decide to run with that it will be independent of VST and on a separate channel. The tournament is aimed at arcade style brawlers.
189
 
190
--------------------------------
191
Why is X game allowed in? I don't like it/It doesn't fit.
192
--------------------------------
193
look above at the pastebin
194
 
195
--------------------------------
196
Community? Do I have to be a part of something to join?
197
--------------------------------
198
Not at all, even if I did add that restriction there is no "true" way to enforce it due to the nature of things. As long as you're interested in these types of games you are free to enter, no money to pay and no where to register, just contact me before the deadline with your entry or a question about your entry.
199
--------------------------------
200
I'm not very good, can I enter?
201
--------------------------------
202
Of course, it's open to everyone, either you know what you're doing and want to show up everyone else or you want to get some advice on your playstyle, enter and have fun with it
203
--------------------------------
204
Can I use an emulator/remake/port?
205
--------------------------------
206
yes, we even offer some fixes for certain emulated games and PC ports if needed
207
 
208
--------------------------------
209
Who's judging?
210
--------------------------------
211
It's a community effort, upon launch day there will be a supplmentary video that will direct you to a voting area. Simply vote for who you enjoyed the most and the winner will be determined by votes. 
212
--------------------------------
213
Can you advertise my video/channel on the page?
214
--------------------------------
215
Google ruined youtube for me, I can attempt but I hate G+, to compensate as mentioned above I can link your channel, twitch, website, etc. if it's linked with an entry you submitted 
216
 
217
*Because of the dynamic system in godhand, you can start off at Level 2, but within the video you must reach level 3 or die and stay there for the majority of the video. In Freestyle, hard mode only.
218
 
219
**As long as it’s not crazy stuff like Dante can fly everywhere at light speed with ultra wide hitboxes. Spawning bosses and enemies are cool, costume swap and particle effects are fine, enemies you can juggle forever is fine, stuff like that
220
 
221
***Check if a video of said song is on youtube, we had a very minor issue with copyrights in VST1 but hoping to avoid any major setbacks with entries if a problem arises
