CAG Tekken Night [Saturday 7/19 9 p.m. PST/midnight EST]

[notorious_pip]

This thread is for Tekken night and setting up CAG matches for Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, GGPO, and other fighting games, NOT for people to spam the thread members with requests for Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection or any other PSN games. Please refrain from harassing the CAGs in this thread with those requests. If you want Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection, get a job or go to the game trading thread: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174965

The next Tekken night is going to be on Saturday 7/19 at around 9 p.m. PST. We sometimes get started as early as 8 p.m. PST, but the room should definitely be up and running by the time 9 rolls around. I've changed the night to Saturday at the request of CAGs. This should make for more consistent showings from other CAGs. I may not always be available on Saturday evenings, but I will post in this thread usually the day before to let everybody know if I can't make it. In the event that I'm not available, any of the regulars feel free to start the room and send out invites.

The room settings are standard with first to 3 rounds to win (best of five), 60 second rounds, the room will be named "CAG" so non-regulars can find the room, and mics off to help with lag. The room alternates from ranked to unranked week to week. I don't prefer one to the other, so we can go always ranked or always unranked depending on what you guys like.

To make sure the lag is kept to a minimum obviously don't be downloading or uploading anything, please turn off the media server connection on your PS3 while playing, a wired connection is preferred to a wireless connection but not necessary, and most importantly make sure your PS3's NAT type is 1 or 2. To do this follow the instructions from Markman's webpage http://sdtekken.com/t5dr/online/setup-guide/ or use the step-by-step tutorial with pictures I made below:

Setting your PS3 to a static IP
1. On your PC click Start>Run
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_01.jpg
2. Type in "cmd" and click "OK"
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_02.jpg
3. At the prompt type in "ipconfig /all" (Note the space between "ipconfig" and "/all")
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_03.jpg
4. Write down the
-"IP Address"
-"Subnet Mask"
-"Default Gateway"
-"DNS Servers" (there should be three sets of numbers, but you only need to know two).
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_04.jpg
Once you have it done, you can close the command prompt.
5. On your PS3 go to Settings>Network Settings>Internet Connection Settings and click on "Yes" at the prompt.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_08.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_09.jpg
6. Select "Custom" and choose whether you're on a wired or wireless connection.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_10.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_11.jpg
7. Select "Manual Settings" and choose "Auto-Detect" at the Speed and Duplex menu.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_12.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_13.jpg
8. Choose "Manual" at the IP Address Setting screen.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_14.jpg
9. For "IP" Address" input the first three numbers listed in the "IP Address" you wrote down from the command prompt, and fill in the last number with whatever 100 or larger number you want your PS3's static IP to be. Just be sure that the number isn't the IP address of anything else on your network (i.e. PCs). For example, mine is 192.168.1.104 It should be noted that the third number varies from router to router so it could be something like 192.168.0.104. Whatever you set it as, this will be your PS3's new static IP Address. Fill in the "Subnet Mask" with the "Subnet Mask" you wrote down from the command prompt. Fill in "Default Router" with the "Default Gateway" you wrote down. Fill in "Primary DNS" and "Secondary DNS" each with a different set of numbers you wrote down from "DNS Servers" and click right
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_15.jpg
10. Set the MTU to "Automatic.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_16.jpg
11. Select "Do Not Use" for the Proxy Server menu.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_17.jpg
12. Select whichever you want for the UnPnP menu.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_18.jpg
13. At the next screen with all of your new settings, press "X" to save your settings and then test your new connection. It shouldn't be NAT Type 2 yet at this point because you haven't port forwarded your PS3 or set it as the DMZ on your network.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_19.jpg
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_20.jpg

Port Forwarding Your PS3
1. Access your router by opening a web browser and typing the "Default Gateway" from before into your address bar.
(The next steps will vary from router to router. I suggest going to http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm or your router's user manual to see how you do it for your particular router)
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_05.jpg
2. Go into the Port Forward menu and forward the following ports
-80 (TCP)
-10070-10080 (TCP & UDP)
-6000-7000 (UDP)
-3658 (UDP)
For each of these forwarded port ranges, set the IP address for each one to your PS3's new static IP address. If your router has the option, make sure all of these ranges are "Enabled"
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_06.jpg
3. Once finished, save these settings on your router.
4. Go to your PS3 and go to Settings>Network Settings>Internet Connection Test
5. Now test your connection to see if your PS3 is port forwarded correctly. If it is, then your NAT Type should be NAT Type: 2. If it fails, set your PS3 as the network's DMZ as follows.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_21.jpg

Setting Your PS3 as the Network's DMZ (Optional)
This step is only needed if you cannot get your PS3's NAT Type to Type 2 by just port forwarding the proper ports
1. Access your router by opening a web browser and typing the "Default Gateway" from before into your address bar.
(The next steps will vary from router to router. I suggest going to http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm or your router's user manual to see how you do it for your particular router)
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_05.jpg
2. Go into the DMZ menu (it may be a submenu of the port forward menu or other menu)
3. Enable the DMZ and set the "DMZ Host IP Address" as the PS3's new static IP address.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_07.jpg
4. Save the settings on your router.
5. Go to your PS3 and go to Settings>Network Settings>Internet Connection Test
6. Now test your connection to see if your PS3 is port forwarded correctly. If it is, then your NAT Type should be Nat Type: 2.
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f296/notorious_pip/NAT2_21.jpg

I can also help you out if you're having problems. If you're NAT type 3, the room may automatically kick you out, and rooms you make may not be accessible to others. It's not the host that is kicking you out. You'll probably have problems entering the CAG room and most of the other rooms online until you switch from NAT type 3 to either NAT type 1 or 2. An alternative method would be to plug your PS3 directly into your modem bypassing all of this rigmarole which would set you to NAT type 1.

If anybody is interested let me know in this thread with your PSN name, or send me a friend add on the PSN (notorious_pip) with a message that you're from CAG interested in a Tekken night. Rooms max out at eight people, so first come, first serve, but I'll send an invite to everybody that's interested when the room is made and resend invites as people leave.

I'm always open to suggestions or casual matches. Feel free to leave suggestions here or hit me up for some matches if you see me online. I'll post in here whenever I go online to play Tekken in case anyone wants to play. I think it'd be a good idea for people to post in here when they go online also. That way you get to play with some decent folk rather than some of the lag abusers and rank whores online.

Here's a list of Tekken night regulars for host reference and CAGs to have a healthy list of people to play. If I have forgotten anyone or you wish to be added to the list, just let me know.

[The Mana Knight]

I actually tried a few Tekken nights and they didn't work out, but thanks for doing this.

I'll tell you what, I'll add this to the PSN Gaming Group Schedule (I'll try to help you make it more noticeable). Well, for some who have a maxed out buddy list, what you can do is enter any PSN name within a game and invite them to play (ulike CoD4).

[notorious_pip]

Thanks for the help, TMK. My friends and I are going to be playing at this time regardless, so I thought I'd post on CAG to expand our group a bit and maybe turn it into a weekly CAG game night.

For those that are interested, one of my friends is having a decent Japanese player named Yuta staying at his place that'll be playing with us. It should be fun.

*Raises hand*

I don't have a headset though.

[notorious_pip]

Thanks for the link, Markman.

It was pretty fun tonight. I'll be doing it again same time next week. Hope to see more people there.

[notorious_pip]

Just a midweek bump with an edited first post.

[DefinedByClass13]

Sorry to derail, but is Tekken only available for purchase through the PSN?

[notorious_pip]

Yes, it's only available through the PSN store for $20 for just the core game and $30 for the game, online, and survival and practice modes.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm in. Actually every Tekken night I want in.

[heavyd853]

I'd be interested it getting in on this, but I might have other things to do sunday.

[notorious_pip]

Cool, well, I already have ReRo on my buddy list. I hope the usual time isn't too late for you and other east coasters, but I'll send you an invite this week.

heavyd853 just post your PSN s/n in here or add me (notorious_pip) and I'll send you an invite on Sunday regardless.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may have a hard time getting setup initially due to house sitting, but all should be good. no worries.

[Thomas96]

I think my connection is too slow for tekken, I'm always getting slow down.

[notorious_pip]

Sometimes it might just be the connection with certain people due to distance or other circumstances. I can be in a room and have a great connection with one person and a horrible connection with another, and it remains consistent.

But Tekken DR isn't perfect with lag either, so you should almost always expect at least a 2-4 frames of lag even on the best connection.

[Thomas96]

I did have some good matches when I first started playing. I gots to brush up on my Tekken this weekend.


Fighting games should have NO Lag... NO lag, lag is pure evil. I can't juggle when there's lag.

[MarkMan]

I'm in, if I forget, someone email me when you guys are playing...

markman@sdtekken.com

Thanks!

[notorious_pip]

Will do, Markman

[Sharp Katana]

I used to have Tekken but now it says copyright error. I'm guessing I can no longer play since i got it from someone :(

[notorious_pip]

That's the problem when you share games. You have to keep the account you used to download it from on your PS3 at all times. Once you delete that account, you lose the ability to play any games downloaded from that account. I suppose if you remember the account information you used to download the game, you could just put it back on your PS3, and it should play fine.

[Sharp Katana]

i got it from my friend's friend and hes no longer giving out the downloads. So I guess it's safe to delete the game off my hdd now.

[notorious_pip]

You don't have to re-download the game. You just need to have your friend's friend's account on your PS3. Each game is tied to a certain account. Once you delete the account you downloaded the game with, it invalidates the copy of the game you downloaded. You just need to make sure that your friend's friend's account is back on your PS3 and the game will start working again.

[notorious_pip]

Just a reminder that we'll be playing around 9 p.m. PST or a bit earlier. If you're interested in playing this week, please post your PSN s/n on here or add me on the PSN with a note regarding CAG Tekken, so I can invite you to the room.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll be on in a min

I haven't played in a while so I gotta brush up.

[notorious_pip]

All right, room's about to go live.

[RelentlessRolento]

sweet. I miss tekken.

[RelentlessRolento]

resend invite... it kicked me.

[RelentlessRolento]

damn thing not letting me join... >_<

[notorious_pip]

Haha, well, I'll keep sending you invites. This'll happen sometimes. It'll eventually let you in.

[MarkMan]

Thanks to whoever reminded me via email.

Sorry I couldn't play for long I had some guests over and they wanted to get some grub... I'm down next week again and I'll definitely make more time.

Good games to notorious_pip, the other guy I played, and GGs to Rolento going in and out of the room... :(

Rolento has joined the room.
Rolento has exited the room.

:(

Next time!

Just make sure you have a NAT2 and you have the required ports open. If that still doesn't work set the DMZ to point to your PS3's IP.

O yea.... I hate playing when it's laggy too :(

I'm sure everyone would have performed better had there been less lag... where are you guys located btw? I'm in Southern California.

[Azumangaman]

I fail so hard. I missed this completely. There has to be another one this week, I'm off all week (I LOVE YOU MARCH BREAK)

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, that was me that reminded you, Markman. GG to you too. Your Chreddie is beastly.

Yeah, it was pretty laggy, but it saved me from getting launched from some of my unsafe stuff. 8-) But lag owned me for a couple of the matches. I'm sure you could appreciate my Anna launches into nothing.

Well, EthyleneOxide and some of my other friends used to be a part of the Seattle scene with SLA and company, but now we're all over the place. I'm in the Reno/Sparks, NV area, EthyleneOxide is still in western Washington, and CheezyE is in Chicago but will be moving back to SoCal pretty soon. It must have just been one of those nights. I usually have a really good connection with people in California.

[MarkMan]

O! SLA, I haven't seen him in forever, since Tekken 4 days... if you talk to him let him know MarkMan sends his regards...

I played a few of the Seattle players awhile back in a DR tourney... did any of you guys go to the T5 regional tournament in Northern California? I remember some Reno players there...

Stop by San Diego when you guys move down to SOCAL, there's always ppl playing here... Plus I prefer playing offline anyways...

No worries about the lag, I was doing budget ass combos too... :(

[notorious_pip]

I'm up for holding two Tekken nights a week, but if it's during the regular week I'd have to start them probably an hour later.

But I'll be up for a few more hours if anyone wants to have a few matches. Just let me know in the thread, and I'll make a new room, or you can make a room and send an invite.

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, I haven't talked to Ric in forever. I don't really know what he's up to these days, but I'll let him know you send your regards through mutual friends.

Did you guys come up to the Seattle regionals for T4? Haha, I remember there were a bunch of Cali players the came up and jacked all our spots. Haha, for some reason WeaponX (Charlie) ended up sleeping at my house while he was up there.

Yeah, there's somewhat of a fighting game scene here in Reno, but it's mainly Guilty Gear, and I never quite got into that series. Some of them played T5 for fun when that came out, though.

Well, CheezyE is the one that's moving back to California. He's moving to the Irvine area, though. I might be down in San Diego in May visiting some family and definitely down there for the Comic Con this year, so I'll try to hit you up.

[MarkMan]

Oh, great. We run a Tekken room/tournament every year at Comic Con... so pay us a visit ;)

[notorious_pip]

Cool, yeah, I'll definitely check it out.

[RelentlessRolento]

Thanks to whoever reminded me via email.

Sorry I couldn't play for long I had some guests over and they wanted to get some grub... I'm down next week again and I'll definitely make more time.

I followed your guide on sdtekken.com and I still get it saying I have NAT3... >_<

at least I tried... I miss playing Tekken DR :( >_<

[MarkMan]

:(

I don't know what else to say then!!!

:( :( :(

Try connecting directly to your modem and not a router then. If you do that, you should have no problems at all.

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, if you're directly connected, you should be NAT Type 1.

[RelentlessRolento]

hmmm... easier said then done, but I'll see what I can do.

[notorious_pip]

Well, if you need some help with getting it to work through your router, I can help you out through PMs or IM.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'l see what I can do over the week when I have time. Thx for the help. If anything comes up I'll be sure to ask.

[notorious_pip]

Okay, cool. Just let me know if you need any help with it.

[notorious_pip]

I added a tutorial on how to setup your PS3 to NAT type 2 in the first post for RelentlessRolento and any other CAGs that are having networking problems. I can also help out through PMs if you still can't get it to work.

I just wanted to say GGs to all that played, and I hope to see more of you there at the next Tekken night.

[MarkMan]

We should have a tournament in addition to these Tekken nights... ;) !

[RelentlessRolento]

If I can get my connection to work good, then hell yeah.

[MarkMan]

What kind of connection do you guys have?

upload/download/ping etc ?

Check at:

www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net)
www.dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com)

I'm usually around 17,000 kbps down/560 up/43 ms ping...

Going through a router(like I am) obviously makes your ping worse...

Make sure you're not using WiFi either... cuz a combination of the PS3's shitty WiFi + WiFi being sketchy in general = sad face...

[RelentlessRolento]

Make sure you're not using WiFi either... cuz a combination of the PS3's shitty WiFi + WiFi being sketchy in general = sad face...


that's my setup... sounds like I gotta un-shit my connection

[notorious_pip]

My connection has always been steady at ~5000 kb download, ~500 kb upload, and ~50 ms ping, but I'm of course going wired to keep the connection more stable for games.

I would be down for some DRO tournaments. So what are you thinking? Double elimination, best of 5 until semis then best of 7 from there on out?

[notorious_pip]

I'm going to hop on for about half an hour to an hour hour. If anyone wants to play while I'm on, just send me an invite; otherwise, I'll just be hopping around random rooms.

T5DR ONLINE Update Coming Soon! (http://sdtekken.com/2008/03/11/t5dr-online-update-coming-soon/)

March 11, 2008
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2367/2327299505_9a70c15d0e_o.jpg (http://sdtekken.com/2008/03/11/t5dr-online-update-coming-soon)

The Japanese version of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ONLINE (http://sdtekken.com/t5dr/online/) will be getting a nice free update on March 18th!

You can now play a quick 1 on 1 battle through the ‘PICKUP MATCH’ option… Battle lobbies will now show room names instead of player host names as well. Also, if you don’t have a Dual Shock 3 yet… They will be released in North America on April 15th for an MSRP of $54.99. If you can’t wait, just import it from Play-Asia (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-fku-49-en.html) where there are already three colors available (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-fku-49-en-15-dual%20shock%203-84-p.html)! More news on this update when we get it…

FAMITSU.COM - Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection ONLINE Update (http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1214067_1124.html)

[notorious_pip]

That's pretty cool news. I hope this update isn't like the last Japanese update that stopped players from other regions from playing the Japanese version. Any idea when the update will hit the US version?

[RelentlessRolento]

let's hope this helps alot of people's connection problems if it ever hits the US... plus this may mean new content in the gallery... I hope so.

[notorious_pip]

Just throwing this out there. Anybody up for an impromptu session tonight? I might be able to host a bit earlier, or if anybody wants they can host too.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may be up for it... may be time for me to test out the better connection (ie. moving out of my room and setting up next to the DSL modem).

[notorious_pip]

Well, I'm good to go if anyone wants to play. Just let me know in this thread, and I'll start a room or you can start one and invite me.

[notorious_pip]

I'm just bumping the thread. Anyone interested please add me or post up in here. Anyone that's still having problems with their NAT type let me know also. I'll try to help you out.

[RelentlessRolento]

It's a bit late for me today, as I wold have played, but if it's consistently on weekends I'll be online every time.

[Thomas96]

I got some practice in tonight! (or this morning rather)

[notorious_pip]

Ah, the last bump wasn't meant to get people to play today (yesterday?). Just getting everyone that's interested on my friend list before Sunday rolls around, but I would be down for a session prior if you catch me online.

[djbooba]

I should be around this Sunday. It would be fun to play with some other people. I'll get owned but still fun.

[notorious_pip]

Cool, well, I sent you a friend request. The more the merrier.

[notorious_pip]

Just a friendly reminder that Tekken will be going on tomorrow night, so if you would like to join in please friend add me or contact me.

[RelentlessRolento]

Just a friendly reminder that Tekken will be going on tomorrow night, so if you would like to join in please friend add me or contact me.

I was planning on tomorrow night, but seeing as the room with my router is getting remodeled, I may not be able to.

[notorious_pip]

Ah, that's too bad. It's a weekly thing, so there's always next week. You can always hit any of us up during the week too.

[RelentlessRolento]

Ah, that's too bad. It's a weekly thing, so there's always next week. You can always hit any of us up during the week too.

I'll make it a point to. I played some kids at my school a day ago after finding out that kids sneak on my campus once a week to play Smash or Tekken... I realized then how much I missed playing real people. Note: I schooled them all. I smiled :)

[notorious_pip]

Remember, folks, Tekken night is still going on later. I will post again once the room goes online.

[Thomas96]

what time est?

[notorious_pip]

That's midnight EST, so in about a half hour.

[notorious_pip]

I'm about to make the room and send out invites, but it looks pretty dead tonight. Nobody is on. I'll leave the room open for probably 15 minutes to a half hour to see if anyone pops in.

[notorious_pip]

Well, the room has been made. Just speak up if you enter the room to start playing. I have my headset on. I'll be doing other things while the room's idle.

[notorious_pip]

I guess everybody was gone or forgot this week. :cold: I'm going to shut down the room, and hope for a better turnout next week. Feel free to message me to play if you see me online on the PSN or CAG throughout the week.

[notorious_pip]

A midweek reminder that Tekken night will be happening at the usual time of 9 p.m. PST on Sunday.

[RelentlessRolento]

Again, I'm planning on it.

[notorious_pip]

Excellent. I hope you don't have any connection issues like last time.

[trajin]

hey guys add me am game

[notorious_pip]

Trajin, what's your PSN name?

[RelentlessRolento]

hell yeah! I finally got my connection problem fixed. it's no longer NAT3, but NAT2 now. PM me anyone if you are up for a game tonight for me to test my connection.

[notorious_pip]

That's great. Well, if you see me online, I'm up for a few matches to test your connection. It will still probably be laggy due to distance, though.

[notorious_pip]

I'm just reminding everybody that I still plan on holding Tekken night tomorrow at 9 p.m. PST (12 midnight EST). If you want in and haven't done so already, please send me a friend request or post your PSN ID in this thread.

[MarkMan]

Tomorrow is my Mom's birthday, if I have time, I'd like to join in on some CAG fun...

Someone please email me when you guys have a room up and running... markman@sdtekken.com !

I'll try not to go undefeated again like last time :P

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll be playing. I got a ton of time in this very late 3am night... I'm alot more confident with my Dragunov now. I really want to learn new combos though.

[hankmecrankme]

One of these days, I'll get in on this. It won't be tomorrow though. I've been using Armor King and Dragonov

[notorious_pip]

I'm reminding everyone that Tekken night is still going on tonight at 9 p.m. PST. I've sent out reminder PSN messages to everyone as well. I hoping for a decent turnout tonight.

I'll drop you an e-mail when the room goes up like last time, Markman. Some of the matches we had were pretty close. ;p

It'll be good to see you actually in the room this time, Rolento instead of popping in and out. Eh, with Dragunov you just need the staples: d/f+2_ws+2_qcb+2 into 2,1,3, d+4,1,3; u/f+4 into d+4,4, d+4,1,3; and qcf+2 into u/f+4, d+4,4, d+4,1,3. I usually replace the d+4,4 with a d+4,1 in juggles if I think I'm slightly off axis or launched them from too far away, because Dragunov's juggles are finicky that way.

I sent you a friend add, hankmecrankme. Just let me know when you want to get in on the Tekken nights, and I'll send you an invite.

[Azumangaman]

I might show up to Tekken Night. Midnight is pretty late, but theres no School on Monday, so its fine.
My Jack-5 will destroy you (well, not really).

[Thomas96]

Hopefully I can catch up with you guys next week, I'm moving and my regular internet is down, I hope to be up and running by next week, plus I need furniture for my gaming/office room.

[djbooba]

Sorry about last week. I got a call from a friend to go see his new band and he put me on the guest list. It's hard to say no to a free show. Hopefully I will be on tonight.

[notorious_pip]

Well, I'm always open to suggestions on holding Tekken night at an earlier time if more people can make it, Azumangaman. The only problem I'd run into is that I probably wouldn't always be able to host due to other engagements, but I'd definitely try to make it later on and continue to organize everything. In any case, I'd be down for some Jack-5 mirror matches.

I hope the move goes well, and we see you at the next Tekken night, Thomas96.

Don't worry about not making it last week, djbooba. Haha, nobody ended up coming out last week anyways. It would have just been 1-on-1. I hope to see you tonight, though.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may be late but I'll be on tonight.

[Azumangaman]

I'll be playing Eternal Sonata from now until 12 so I might be a few minutes late. Just send me the invite and I'll join when I get on...

You guys have headsets right?

[notorious_pip]

I have a headset. I'm not sure about the others. I usually hold the room with mics on, but if I'm the only one with a headset, I usually restart the room with mics off to reduce lag a bit.

[Azumangaman]

Sounds good.
Hey, we'll be starting soon!
I'm ready now :D

[notorious_pip]

All right, I'm going to make the room now. I'll send out invites in a second. Hope to see you all there. Use your headsets if you have them.

[notorious_pip]

Room's up and invites sent.

[trajin]

send one to me\

[RelentlessRolento]

I made it in!!!

[trajin]

send invite

[trajin]

was is the name so i can join?

[RelentlessRolento]

wow... lag city!

sometimes I'd be putting in a command and it happened 2 seconds later. I play better without lag >_<

[aihuman]

I cant get NAT type 2.I have 20gb PS3 and use ics(internet connection sharing) to get online.I have linksys router wrt150n.Ive been able to get online with WarHawk without any problems.

[Azumangaman]

I'm not doing that bad, its just that pip is a machine...

[djbooba]

I went to fix my headset and now I'm left out. :(

[Azumangaman]

I'll tell pip to re-add you.
Rolento, your a friggin beast with Jack-5.

[notorious_pip]

I'll resend you an invite after this next match.

Haha, I'm not that much of a machine. My defense has been pretty piss poor.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll tell pip to re-add you.
Rolento, your a friggin beast with Jack-5.

:)

thx, I use to be a very active Jack 5 player, but decided to lay off for a while.

[notorious_pip]

Whoa, what happened to you, Rolento?

[RelentlessRolento]

ggs guys. I don't know what happened there, but my PS3 froze even though the connection was still going. I'll call it a night since I gotta get up early tomorrow anyway.

[notorious_pip]

GGs, everybody. It was an awesome turnout this week. We got about two solid hours of Tekken in. Hopefully we'll have as good of a turnout next week or even bigger.

[notorious_pip]

aihuman, Tekken DRO has network issues, so usually anything less than NAT2 will just get you automatically kicked from a room. At best you'll be in a room and play laggy games. It's not too difficult to get to NAT2 on the PS3.

Just follow the tutorial on the first page to set your PS3 to a static IP. For simplicity set your PS3's IP address to 192.168.1.100. Everything else you'll just be using what comes up on the ipconfig screen.

The easiest way to change your PS3's NAT type to NAT2 is to just set your PS3 as the network's DMZ. I looked up your router and it seems like a standard Linksys router. For your particular router, follow the instructions below to set your PS3 as the network's DMZ.
1. Access your router by opening a web browser and typing "192.168.1.1" into your address bar. If no one has accessed the router before, then the username should be "admin" and the password should be either "admin" or "password"
2. Click on the tab labeled "Applications & Gaming"
3. From that tab, click the subtab labeled "DMZ"
4. On the DMZ menu select "Enable" and set the "DMZ Host IP Address" to "192.168.1.100" like we decided above.
5. Click "Save Settings" and exit your web browser.
6. Go to your PS3 and go to Settings>Network Settings>Internet Connection Test
7. Now test your connection to see if your PS3 is port forwarded correctly. If it is, then your NAT Type should be Nat Type: 2.

That should be it. Try it out and let me know how it goes. Let me know if you have any problems, aihuman. I hope to see you on next week.

[notorious_pip]

This is the midweek reminder that Tekken night should still be on schedule for this Sunday the 30th at the usual time of 9 p.m. PST. Send me a friend add if you're not already on my friend list or let me know in this thread so I can add you.

[RelentlessRolento]

planning on it... I still suck more than I wish.

[notorious_pip]

Just to let everybody know, this week I'll be turning ranking matches on since last week it was off. I wanted to get a general consensus on whether you guys would like ranking matches on every week, off every week, or does the alternating schedule work for everybody?

[Azumangaman]

NO RANKING IS FOR WUSSIES!
And I can't make it. Sundays at midnight are no good for me (last Sunday was fine because Monday was no school). Stupid High School...

[notorious_pip]

Ah, that's too bad, Azumangaman. Well, like I said, I'm willing to changing the day and time for Tekken night if it will allow more CAGs to join in. I would just need alternate person to host the room and send me an invite in case I'm not available at that time. The current time is pretty much the only time I can consistently host Tekken night, but I understand it's pretty late for east coast CAGs. I may be able to host the room at 7 p.m. PST every once in a while, but it wouldn't be every week.

[hankmecrankme]

Saturdays would be great for me, since I usually don't have anything to do then.

[RelentlessRolento]

saturdays would be even better for me as well.

[notorious_pip]

Just a reminder that Tekken night will be going down tomorrow night at 9 p.m. PST.

I'll switch it up to Saturday starting next week since it seems to work better for most CAGs, but I need an alternate host, since I won't be available every Saturday night. Anyone willing to step up and be the alternate host? I might be able to host more consistently but still not every week on Saturdays if we end up doing it earlier (i.e. starting at 5 or 6 p.m. PST/8 or 9 p.m. EST), but that will clash with the CAG COD4 night. We could always make it two Tekken nights a week as well, since my friends and I will be playing on Sunday at the usual time regardless of when Tekken night is. Someone else can be a Saturday host, and I'll continue to be Sunday host and try to come to the Saturday session when I can. Thoughts?

Anybody up for some games later tonight? I'll probably be up for some games in 45 minutes to an hour.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll be on. I need something to play and this sounds good.

Also note, using mics tend to bog down connections. I have a Playstation Eye that I can use a mic, but prefer not to so that games go smoother.

[hankmecrankme]

I might be on, if my friend lets me use his PS3. So I won't have my sweet custom costumes. And I don't have a mic.

[notorious_pip]

I'll be online in a few minutes. If you guys are still around, feel free to make a room and send me an invite.

I'm aware of mics slowing down the connection. It's usually in larger rooms, though. 2-4 people rooms the mic lag is usually negligible. I have mics on for CAG night to ask questions, talk about strats, or just have small talk.

[hankmecrankme]

I'll be on also. Shoot me an invite somebody.

[RelentlessRolento]

I gotta go in a bit due to plans made earlier, so sorry if I quit early.

[notorious_pip]

Good games, guys. Haha, I enjoyed the goofy Moku matches, hankmecrankme.

[hankmecrankme]

Me too. Sometimes, I wouldn't even know who the hell I was. Good matches throughout. I just wish they'd improve the net code. I'm used to Virtua Fighter 5.

[RelentlessRolento]

GGS and sorry for leaving early.

We need a special Mokujin night just for randomness...

[notorious_pip]

You get used to all the different stances with Mokujin after a while. The hard part is remembering how he's different than the character he's mimicking.

The netcode used in DRO is pretty bad, but I just deal with it and accept it's not going to be like offline. I still play like it's offline, though to keep my offline game consistent. That's why I have a lot of whiffed juggles and some attacks that are supposed to punish but don't online.

I think you'd do a lot better if your defense was better like you said in your message and if you learned a couple of bread and butter juggles for your characters to maximize damage.

[notorious_pip]

I'm down for Mokujin rooms. It actually works well for me because when we're playing all these casual matches I get bored sticking to a couple of characters.

[RelentlessRolento]

The lag online drives me insane most of the time... I play so twitchy offline that I get semi OCD when playing online >_<

[heavyd853]

Thats prettymuch why I stopped playing Tekken online after the first 2 weeks or so.

[hankmecrankme]

I do know a decent amount of juggles. The problem is the lag, plus you're squirrely.;) My defense does suck though. I've been playikng too much VF5, and I usually sidestep in that game., which isn't as effective in T5DR. I just need to block and quit trying to stick moves in when they'll just get snuffed.

I'll definitely be back, after I practice for a week. :)

[notorious_pip]

Well, I'm just talking about the standard juggles used for each character. Stuff you'd use in a tournament or would see in match vids.

Sidestepping and sidewalking are effective in Tekken. You just need to anticipate specific moves when you sidestep/sidewalk, because certain moves may track to both sides, track to only one side, or not track at all. It's something you have to learn through playing. Usually 1 jabs you can sidestep to your right to avoid them. I try to generalize which way to sidestep each character depending on their most used moves like Lili you're mostly safe if you sidestep to your right. You should also learn when to duck not just to block but anticipating moves and punishing them. Yeah, I noticed you tried to attack quite a bit while you were at frame disadvantage. If you're going to do that, you need to know your opponent's options from that situation and anticipate which one your opponent is going to use and counter it accordingly with what you're throwing out.

If you want to just have some practice matches during the week, let me know. If you want some pointers while playing we can play with mics on, or if you don't have PS3 mic, we can open up a chat on Xbox Live while playing DRO.

[notorious_pip]

I'm reminding everyone that I'll still be hosting a room tonight at the usual time.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may or may not be on due to a huge short film script I gotta work on tonight.

[notorious_pip]

The room is up and invites have been sent, but it looks like a dead night tonight. I'll leave the room open for about a half an hour. I'll just be browsing the internet while the room is up, so if you're going to hop in post in here or else I probably won't notice.

[MarkMan]

Awesome, Mokujin night...

He's my most used character anyways ;)

[gunm]

Ahhh, rats. I'm too far West to participate. I don't usually get on until 9pm HST which I guess is like 11pm PST?

[notorious_pip]

I'll be in on this for sure this weekend. new ps3 tomorrow, wheee!

My connection is 5mb, so the lag is minimal for me :)

That'll be sweet to have another person playing regularly. Lag happens to everyone, though. It's due to Tekken's netcode rather than anyone's connection, so when you have a solid connection with anybody remember who they are.

Ahhh, rats. I'm too far West to participate. I don't usually get on until 9pm HST which I guess is like 11pm PST?

Well, I'm hoping that with Tekken night now on Saturday the room will last longer. I'm thinking of maybe switching it to mics disabled for the nights I can't stay long. That way, when I leave, host responsibilities just get switched over to someone else in the room instead of the room disbanding.

[Thomas96]

Will this net code every see a patch? I can't even juggle people with this lag, I need to keep playing and try to get used to it.

[notorious_pip]

I don't know when or if Namco will create an online patch for the netcode. I played a couple matches with that new patch on the Japanese version of DRO, but it didn't seem like anything had changed connection wise. The odd thing is, I've always had a better connection playing on the Japanese version than the US version.

Although the netcode is bad, the game is far from unplayable online. You just need to play the right people. I can still play relatively well including juggling as long as both sides have consistent two bars (yellow) or three bars (green). It becomes unplayable when the connection is both one bar (red), no bars (black), or fluctuating bars. The easiest thing to do is to just play people in your region and only play in rooms with full green bars. Anybody you have a good connection with, send them friend requests and ignore the people you have poor connections with.

[djbooba]

I hope I'm around Saturday but I never know until the last minute what my friends are up to. If I'm around, hopefully I can get another win or two.

[RelentlessRolento]

Yeah, supposedly the update dosnt fix net code but just adds stuff.

[hankmecrankme]

I'm thinking about picking up a mic tomorrow. Any recommendations? I want cheap.

I'll be in this shit every Saturday I can.

[RelentlessRolento]

for the price of a mic just go get the playstation eye camera if anything.. though listening to people is hard as fuck...

[hankmecrankme]

Oh, you can just use the camera? How's the quality? I'd probably use it with my PC also. I've seen some used ones at GS. Don't remember the price, though.

[RelentlessRolento]

Just get eye of judgment. it comes out cheaper that way and you can get decent money off ebay for the cards/game/set.

[hankmecrankme]

True. I almost bought EoJ when Amazon had it for cheap. I probably should have.

[notorious_pip]

I hope I'm around Saturday but I never know until the last minute what my friends are up to. If I'm around, hopefully I can get another win or two.

It's all good. That's kind of the problem I run into on Saturdays too. Sometimes I'm out for the night and sometimes I'm around. It's hit or miss.

I'm thinking about picking up a mic tomorrow. Any recommendations? I want cheap.

I'll be in this shit every Saturday I can.

If you don't mind buying off of eBay any of the Jabra bt1xx line are cheap and decent bluetooth headsets although bare bones. This one ends soon and is the one that comes with Warhawk. It's still under $15 shipped.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-in-BOX-JABRA-BT125-BT-125-Bluetooth-headset_W0QQitemZ360038843484QQihZ023QQcategoryZ13 3228QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

You could alternatively just use a cheap USB set.

[hankmecrankme]

You could alternatively just use a cheap USB set.

Can you use any USB set? I'm assuming yes, since I've used 3 different USB keyboards and 2 mice on my PS3 with no problems.

[notorious_pip]

I'm pretty sure you can use any USB headset. I've used two different USB headsets on the PS3, and they've both worked without any problems. Just remember to set the voice input/output to that specific headset after you plug it in, or else it'll appear like it's not working.

[notorious_pip]

A midweek reminder that Tekken will be starting on its new night Saturday at 9 p.m. PST.

[notorious_pip]

If everything goes well, Tekken night should still be on for tomorrow night. I'll also be sending PSN reminders to everyone sometime tomorrow during the day too. If there's anyone that's still interested in joining in on the CAG Tekken night and hasn't added me as a friend on the PSN, please do so or post your PSN name in here. I hope to see you all on tomorrow.

[RelentlessRolento]

Is tomorrow Mokujin night or just regular tekken night?

[notorious_pip]

I was planning on just having a regular night, but if it's not too large of a showing or if everyone doesn't mind, we could just do an all Moku night tomorrow.

[notorious_pip]

Just to let everybody know, I'll be going out tomorrow for the Final Four, so I may be late or not even around. I'll probably just set up the room with invites before I leave and just set my stick's start and X buttons to turbo. That way you guys can still play, and if I get back in time I can join you.

[MarkMan]

I may not be around either X_X

Might be playing Tekken 6 ;P

[notorious_pip]

Don't you live about two hours out from that arcade that has it?

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah he does, but what's stopping MM?

[notorious_pip]

I just wanted everybody to know that I made the room and sent out invites. My start button is set to autofire so matches should start without me being there. I left X off of autofire because it just continually accesses my stats with it on, so you might have to wait it out when it comes to the character/stage select screen when it's my turn. Hopefully I'll be back in time for some matches, but if not you guys all have fun.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may be late cuz my dad wanted to see The Warriors with me tonight since I recommended it. If you see me on but not on Tekken, it's because I'm playing Eye of Judgment.

[notorious_pip]

Well, I hope whoever came on had fun. I got back way too late to catch anyone.

[hankmecrankme]

I wasn't in this weekend, and I won't be until next weekend. I'm staying at a friend's house, and neither one of us has a PS3 here.

[Apossum]

I just realized it was on saturday at 9pm pst. I doubt I'll ever make that time...

If anyone wants to play other times, like on weekday/sunday nights, add me to your list.

[notorious_pip]

Saturday actually isn't the greatest time for me either, and I run the room. I switched the day because so many CAGs are on the east coast and 9 p.m. PST was too late for most CAGs. I still play on Sundays at 9 p.m. PST with some old college friends of mine if you want to join in and I play random matches during the week in the evenings. I'll send you a PSN friend add.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll try and be on tonight. I may have to be doing some taxes stuff as well as finalize a film script.

[notorious_pip]

Cool, have fun with those taxes. I like to file in February online. I got my tax return in about a week.

[RelentlessRolento]

I got my taxes done not too long ago now... I just need to get into the mood for the script now >_< we'll see how that goes.

here's a semi-done animation from the film I'm working on this script for (that's me running >_<)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PY9SouPCLSk

[notorious_pip]

That's pretty cool. Did you just do the script for it or are you doing the animation and everything else, too?

[RelentlessRolento]

That's pretty cool. Did you just do the script for it or are you doing the animation and everything else, too?

everything. That's mainly why I've been missing a few of the tekken nights.

[notorious_pip]

Ah, that makes sense. Well, good luck with that script. I hope it turns out well for you.

[RelentlessRolento]

I may just do the script later tonight... a few Tekken games may loosen me up anyway. If I only play for a short period, blame this film stuff :(

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, I'd be down for that. I have to finish up a little work first, but I should be free in about a half an hour.

[RelentlessRolento]

I got my script done (thanks to beer... no no, I don't like being drunk, it just loosens me up a tiny bit) so I may be on. I still have to see if other work needs to be done, but if I'm on, I'm on.

[notorious_pip]

I totally feel you on the beer/alcohol. It takes the edge off so you can get to work sometimes.

I'm ready to go whenever. I just finished my work.

[RelentlessRolento]

Give me a min, someone is torrenting on my line. I just need to boot their torrent program off and I'm good.

[RelentlessRolento]

sorry for quitting. gotta be up early tomorrow and my internet was lagging up.

[Thomas96]

my connection was terrible for the last match that I had..

[notorious_pip]

It must be the distance. I was having horrendous lag with Rolento too, but I had a solid connection with everybody else.

[Thomas96]

yeah it was the same with me.. I had been playing Tekken all day with no lag.

[hankmecrankme]

Give me a min, someone is torrenting on my line. I just need to boot their torrent program off and I'm good.

Last time I played with notorious_pip, I had a torrent running on my PC that I forgot about. I was like, "WTF's with the lag?" I fixed it after about 3 matches.

I'm going to be in this shit next weekend, fo' realz this time. I need a good beatdown anyway. . .

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, any form of downloading is a big :shame: while playing Tekken. It turns a potentially laggy match into a truly :wall: experience. The alternative is to download but use your router's QoS to set your PS3 at highest priority and throttle either whatever is downloading on your network or throttle the ports that are used for downloading.

[RelentlessRolento]

Those mokujin matches reminded me of snails mating >_>

[notorious_pip]

http://smiliesftw.com/x/werdrun_2.gif (http://smiliesftw.com) It was like falling asleep during a slideshow only to wake up an hour later to find out it's still going on.

[notorious_pip]

Midweek bump to remind everybody about Tekken night this Saturday at 9 p.m. PST.

[DefinedByClass13]

Not sure if this has been mentioned or asked, but I am wondering if I can use the TK5 ps2 arcade stick, with an adapter for this online game? This will determine whether I sell it to a local game shop or not (and whether I purchase the game on the psn).

[MarkMan]

Yes you can.

There are a few that work well, I'd suggest to try and track down a Pelican converter for the best results.

Check my site here for more converter information:

www.sdtekken.com/tech-area/converters

[notorious_pip]

The Pelican PS2>PS3 adapter is definitely the best one, but it has been out of production for a little while. If you're going to hunt one down, try to see if any of your local Gamestops or EBs have them new or used. You'll be paying an arm and a leg if you go on eBay or SRK.

[notorious_pip]

A reminder that Tekken Night will be going on tomorrow night at 9 p.m. PST.

[RelentlessRolento]

i have a long art gallery walk down here in miami that i gotta go to, so no go for me this weekend. alot of booze >_< also alot of free food and good looking latin women.

[hankmecrankme]

I'll be on tomorrow. I don't know what time, but possibly late.

[notorious_pip]

Reminding everybody that Tekken Night should still be going on tonight. I sent out PSN reminders as well. I hope to see a decent turnout.

[Azumangaman]

I'll be there. My PS3 is dling the latest software update, so hopefully I'll be there on time. You starting it up notorious?

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, I'll be starting it up. I don't have any plans tonight, so I should be able to host the whole night.

[notorious_pip]

Room's up and invites sent.

[Azumangaman]

Update is installing, I'll be there in a minute.

[notorious_pip]

All right, cool. I don't see a lot of people online, so if not a lot of people show up half an hour in, I'll restart the room with fewer slots. It should help a bit with lag.

[InuFaye]

Please Invite me!!!!!

[InuFaye]

anyone?

[notorious_pip]

I sent you an invite InuFaye.

[MarkMan]

I'll be playing for a short while... Sorry if I leave early!

[Azumangaman]

The room disconnected, so I figured it was a good time to leave :P

[MarkMan]

oh man, I hope everyone enjoyed pip's and my attempts at hayashida/ss cancels/ and wavedashing/backdash cancels during lag...

:bows:

It was going by just fine between me/pip... I think the mics might be killing it overall... not sure though.

It could be that I'm in Southern California and everyone else is so far away from me -_- so it might be my fault :(

[MarkMan]

Someone invite n8nmonster please.

[notorious_pip]

Oh, shit, sorry, I didn't see the message. I'll invite n8nmonster after your match.

I'm actually not too far away from you, Markman. I'm in Northern Nevada. Our first match's connection wasn't too bad.

[MarkMan]

Yea, the connection was MUCH better after the mics were turned off.. I'm actually able to do some movement etc..

[n8nmonster]

haha me and mark are the closest of the two in the room, and our connection was whack. :C

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, what was up with your guys' connection? My friend Cheezy should be coming into the room in 15 minutes. He's a bit better than me.

[InuFaye]

I probably have one more in me, and then i'm done for the night.

[MarkMan]

Oh, n8nmonster has the worst connection ever, thought I'd clear that up.

We live like 5 mins away from each other(maybe less)...

[InuFaye]

Thats funny because I had the best connection to him.

Ha.

Good Times Guys, Thanks for the Matches.

[MarkMan]

Thats funny because I had the best connection to him.

Ha.

Good Times Guys, Thanks for the Matches.

Thank you! See you next time... I usually don't get a chance to play Tekken online, so it was fun...

Just wish I was able to jump in on the voice chat (but never do due to me not being able to stand any more lag than there already is).... Cuz if there was voice chat we'd be singin the blues all night long ^_^

[notorious_pip]

Haha, so close. Random missed juggles own me.

[n8nmonster]

lol hilarious match with trajin just now.

king vs king. gg.

[n8nmonster]

last one for me on my next turn up. :C

[MarkMan]

Last one up for me and n8nmonster, we had so much fun playing online we're about to meet up with some other friends and play at my house lol...

And GGs all, had fun...

[notorious_pip]

Okay, cool. GGs, n8nmonster.

[notorious_pip]

GGs to you too, Markman. Haha, I finally got a couple wins on you ;)

[hankmecrankme]

Anyone up for a few with me? I just got back.

[n8nmonster]

ggs to everyone in the room. turned out to be pretty fun. :)

[MarkMan]

GGs to you too, Markman. Haha, I finally got a couple wins on you ;)

Yea fun stuff. ^_^

Again when you guys are down in San Diego for Comic-Con stop by our gaming room and we'll have some more fun ^_^

I'll post again later, I'm about to get my usual 10 streak on n8nmonster IRL ;)

[notorious_pip]

I'll send you an invite in a sec, hankmecrankme.

[hankmecrankme]

Cool. I'm currently getting the last update, so it will be a sec. I bet you'll beat my ass. :)

[hankmecrankme]

I got the invite, but it booted me out.

Edit : Again!! I'mma go check out my network settings. Be right back.

Edit 2 : It says NAT Type 2, so I dunno what's going on. It worked fine last time. Try it again.

Edit round 3 : Fuck it, I'll try hosting. Maybe that'll work.

[notorious_pip]

I'll just keep reinviting you.

[hankmecrankme]

I cannot join any matches whatsoever. I've tried a few that have 3 bars to no avail. I think my ISP's to blame.

Actually, I'm going to shut off my PC. Maybe that'll do it. Send me another invite, pip.

[notorious_pip]

Is the room not letting you in?

[hankmecrankme]

It lets me join and shows me who's in it, then it gives me a network error.

Edit : I was finally able to join a room. Send me an invite.

[notorious_pip]

That's weird. Are you still at NAT 3?

[notorious_pip]

All right, I'll send you another invite after this match.

[hankmecrankme]

No, it's NAT 2. I don't know why it's giving me problems. I just played a match online, so shoot me an invite.

Edit: Nope, I just tried and it failed. I'm going to go play online with some other dudes. I don't know what's wrong.

[notorious_pip]

Ah, nice. It looks like you made it in.

[hankmecrankme]

Nope, I didn't make it. :cry:

I'm going to check out my internet settings again.

[notorious_pip]

I don't understand why it won't let you in.

[hankmecrankme]

When I join, it shows me 2 people in the room besides me. The top bar is blank, then it sits there for about 5 seconds before it boots me out.

It's pissing me off.

[notorious_pip]

Hmm, try this. Make a room and invite me and cheezyE. We'll join your room and see if it works. Just make it unranked, no mics, 3 rounds, 60 seconds and 3-4 or for player slots.

[notorious_pip]

Did you make a room yet?

[hankmecrankme]

Sorry about the wait. I made the room.

[notorious_pip]

cheezyE should be coming along shortly. He's still midmatch.

[MarkMan]

Make sure you're forwarding the right ports/DMZ as well... make sure you're forwarding to the PS3's IP too...

[hankmecrankme]

I checked it out. It seems fine now that I'm hosting. Don't know what's up.

[notorious_pip]

I think it's cheezyE's connection. I'm going to try to have him host the room.

[notorious_pip]

He sent you an invite.

[hankmecrankme]

Do it.

Edit : Won't let me join. Boo.

[notorious_pip]

Haha, man, this sucks. I can't play with both of you at the same time.

[hankmecrankme]

It's cool. I can just play with you whenever. GGs for the few matches that we played.

[notorious_pip]

Yeah, sorry about that. I'll get my friend's connection fixed sometime this weekend. GGs to you too.

[hankmecrankme]

I might be on tomorrow sometime later. I'll post in here if I am.

[notorious_pip]

Man, that was a fun night everybody. That was a whole lot of Tekken hours. GGs to everybody that came. It was one of the most fun Tekken nights yet.

I'm usually playing on Sunday nights too. Usually just for like an hour or two, though. Just let me know if you want to play.

[MarkMan]

Wish I could play next Saturday but I'll be in the bay area :/

Fun times tho!

Taking a break right now from playing Tekken at home with some friends... food break :)

[hankmecrankme]

Anybody up for some Tekken?
