More tips:

-A short, tight video is better than a long, meandering one! Focus on stylish play, not filling time. 

-Camerawork counts! Nothing more frustrating than an excellent performance obstructed by a piece of level architecture. 

-Use of the manual lock-on is optional. Try using it for specific circumstances to pull off previously impossible tricks. There’s a lot to experiment with.

There it is! You have the weekend to send a clip to us at contest@capcom.com or via Twitter with #DmCStyle.
