General Fighting Game Thread #48 Turbo - !quote 16 ^_^

[suko_32]

It always catches me off guard when people send a message after you play them and it turns out to be compliment.

[asianxcore]

Good read kainzero.

Dear Mr. Beef,

If I somehow afford a trip to EVO 09', I am throwing the idea out of a CVS2 Money/Buffet Match between you and I.

I haven't eaten in a buffet in over 6 years, so this could be bad.

[Jest]

It always catches me off guard when people send a message after you play them and it turns out to be compliment.

Do you play fighters on PS3 or 360?

[suko_32]

Both. I'm more surprised when they come on the 360 though.

Edit: Got a second one!

[hankmecrankme]

Good games everyone I played earlier aka Phrost, Chac, Jimbo, etc. :)

[Inf^Shini]

So hey, is that $150 stick even worth it? According to that thread more would be available in April and I figured I might want one and save up for it (plus it would be my first stick). It looks pretty slick n' all, but if you guys have a better idea, I'm all for it.

FYI, I'm picking up the PS3 version of SFIV (Paid in full, woo hoo!)

Normally I'd accept, but you're one of those skinny asian dudes, and if Kobayashi has taught me anthing, it's to beware of them skinny asian dudes.

Still, it would be lots of fun...HMMMM...

FT 5 in CVS2 for cash or loser pays for the others buffet cost. What is that like $20? haha :)

Hopefully I'll have a job around then (it's near my birthday) and I can afford to go to Vegas for EVO.

I do this often, epsecially on the PS3. If someone is goo, I figure they deserve a pat on the back.

[suko_32]

Hey guys, my falcon 360 just RRoD'd so I'm getting the PS3 version of SFIV for sure. I was undecided before and was probably going to get both.

Edit: Coffin requested :-(

[hankmecrankme]

Damn that sucks, Suko. I'm just waiting for mine to die. It will when I get SFIV, I bet.

[BlueSwim]

Sorry to hear that, Suko.:cry: Damn that sucks, Suko. I'm just waiting for mine to die. It will when I get SFIV, I bet.
I feel the same way. My 360 is a launch unit that has never red-ringed.:shock:

[depascal22]

That sucks, Suko. I also have mine on deathwatch.

[Jest]

Anyone want to get a room together for HDR on PS3 later tonight?

[hankmecrankme]

I feel the same way. My 360 is a launch unit that has never red-ringed.:shock:
Damn, that's crazy. I'm on my third one, not bad for 3 years of ownership. It's still unacceptable that they fail at such a rate.

[SmallWind]

Anyone want to get a room together for HDR on PS3 later tonight?At what time?

[RelentlessRolento]

Possibly shooting BlueSwim's section for the FGT film today.

best of luck Suko.

[Chacrana]

Oh shit, we got a shoutout!

2 thoughts:

1) Whoa, your name's really Mark IRL.

2) I thought it was kinda funny that you started out your modding conversation with "don't do it, kids! It'll void your warranty," and then said "yeah, it's basically designed with the intention of you doing this stuff." I won't be modding mine, but I appreciate that I can do it should the need arise.

I really thought about pawning this thing off on Ebay, but man... I kinda just want to have one.

[BlueSwim]

Mad props for the shout-out, MM.:applause::applause::applause:

[JEKKI]

whooo! Street Fighter launch party!!

Supreme Soul is gonna be there performing lol

[hankmecrankme]

I want to mod my TE stick day one. I'm thinking art first. Maybe turn it into the Melty Blood FightStick Tournament Edition. :-k

Also props for the shoutout. :)

[FloodsAreUponUS]

[hankmecrankme]

Seth Killian said you can't do that.

Is he going to come to my house and stop me?

. . .well, then I'd stop if he did. . . :cry: . . .don't hurt me, Seth. . .

He'll put me in his stomach and shoot me out, making me ping pong all over the room. I don't want any of that. . .

13 days until SFIV. . .:drool:

Quite honestly, I knew not to fuck with the dude ever since I noticed he had the word "kill" in his last name.

lol! That was what I was thinking!

[RelentlessRolento]

nice shout out MM :)

if my movie turns out good for the FGT I'll see if I can build in unofficial stick ads ;)

[Jest]

Can anyone play some Super Turbo on PS3 at 9 EST?

[gunm]

I'm still contemplating picking up ST on PS3. :/ I may or may not have SFIV on PS3 depending on how lucky I get with DD. :/

[Jest]

Won my first match! But it was unranked :(

[gunm]

Gratz! Baby steps man, baby steps...

[JEKKI]

yeay, baby mills too.

[MarkMan]

LAUNCH PARTY WHAT ! lol

[FloodsAreUponUS]

MarkMan,

Is there any official word on gamestop midnight launch?

[asianxcore]

Suko, sorry to hear about your 360.

I was always going to get SFIV for PS3 because of the amount of sticks/converters I have for PS2. Thing is so-so net code is fine with me if I don't have to worry about my PS3 shitting out on me.\

Also OptionIV, a buddy of mine has a ridiculous SFHD Bison. Let me know if you wanna check out the vids.

[heavyd853]

Did you guys see the video of Seth Killian playing the IGN editor one handed? Shit was hilarious, he almost won too.

[DarthPuma]

I'll play you jest.

[jer7583]

MarkMan,

Is there any official word on gamestop midnight launch?

Pretty sure they aren't getting it in until the day after. 17th is a ship date. :(

Why can't they street date the biggest game of 2009!

[suko_32]

I can play Jest.

Also, thanks for the thoughts on my 360 everyone. I will probably have it back near the end of the first week of March unfortunately.

[Jimbo Slice]

Hey yo Jekki, you wanna be the next FGT interview?

Or Markman... although you probably don't have the time ATM.

[JEKKI]

Pretty sure they aren't getting it in until the day after. 17th is a ship date. :(

Why can't they street date the biggest game of 2009!the lady at gamecrazy told me it was street dated.

she said she wanted to have an early tournament, but the higher ups or whatever wouldnt let them.

but who knows for sure...

[BlueSwim]

First Tekken 6, and now TMNT: Smash-Up (http://wii.ign.com/articles/951/951126p1.html) has a Q&A up, along with a trailer.

[option.iv]

I wonder if it'll play like a Powerstone or go to the Smash Bros format of being 2.5D.

[Jest]

Waaah SFIV in 2 weeks and I wont have a stick D=

I'll set up the ST room in 15 mins or so. Add me to PSN.

[DarthPuma]

So I got SFAC in from goozex today. Kind of have no use for it since I don't have a ps2 capable stick. Oh well, it's in my collection now.

[asianxcore]

Jest, I'll send you a FR on PSN.

I'm down for some SFHD right now.

[Jest]

he keeps kicking my ass, need someone to change the pace up a bit :P

[suko_32]

I'll be on in a bit.

[asianxcore]

he keeps kicking my ass, need someone to change the pace up a bit :P

Sorry man. GG's though

[RelentlessRolento]

the new Tekken 6 trailer is hot. hot.

Q&A #3: Street Fighter IV's Seth Killian. (http://www.siliconera.com/2009/02/04/capcom-shares-street-fighter-iv-tips-for-veterans-and-newcomers/)

[suko_32]

GG's Jest. Sorry for leaving, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to leave and was just being nice. Also after our 4th match I was getting the life bar glitch :-(

[Jest]

Oh man... 0-53 tonight. I almost one once! Whats the life bar glitch?


Hey BlueSwim, Cammie is becoming my favourite character. Shes sweet. Probably going to use the SFIV high res art on my stick.

[suko_32]

Basically I can usually see your life bar going down but I can't see mine. So I have no clue how much life I have left.

Also, why don't you block the low attacks? Curious.

[Jest]

Mostly because I suck. I just started playing 2 days ago. I don't know any of the move sets. Any time I'm up against Vega, Blanka, or Honda I just watch in awe as my ass gets handed to me :).

[Mr. Beef]

Sorry I wasn't responding to the invites, AxC. I was busy playing Brave Fencer Musashi. I'm so hooked on it right now, I haven't really played too much HD Remix. Last I played online though, a Honda kicked my ass, so it wasn't too unfamiliar. ;)

Also! JEKKI for the next FGT interview!

[asianxcore]

It's all good Beef.

If anyone wants to play on PSN, I'm messing around in Scoreboard matches.

[MarkMan]

Hey yo Jekki, you wanna be the next FGT interview?

Or Markman... although you probably don't have the time ATM.

I'm down, let me know. Or JEKKI can go... Either way, the next interview would emit so much power.

It'd be over 9K.

skillz

[Inf^Shini]

Damn Jekki, you got whuped on that last round

You'd whup me though, I haven't even played the game, and how often you go to denjin? I never realized how close it was, Simi Valley is a stone's throw away.

I don't know if I should drop by there to check it out, I might go in then come out an arcade nut again (high school days were the days ;_; ), god knows I can't afford to be that right now...O_O

Two Face style,

but we cant do the latter coz this is the internet n shyt, so sum1 is gonna hafta flip a coin.

[Mr. Beef]

Good ol' Rock. Nothin' beats that!

[JEKKI]

Good ol' Rock. Nothin' beats that!I donno man... I heard Lil Wayne's gonna make a rock album.

[asianxcore]

JEKKI, sorry I didn't get your PSN message until later.

I'm guessing most hotel rooms are fitted for PS2 AV Cables? If I end up going to EVO, people should bring their PS2's and DC's all around for serious gaming.

[MarkMan]

I'll call the Rio and ask... someone remind me in the morning.

[Mr. Beef]

Lil' Wayne does a lot of things...none of which are good.

I forgot if I was at the Rio or not last year. Hell, I forgot a lot from last year. What I do remember is that the TVs in the hotel rooms weren't equipped with AV plugs, so we had to find a nearby Circuit City and buy a TV, then returned it before we went home. Since CC is no more, it'd be better to just bring your own...or think of a better idea, I dunno.

[BlueSwim]

Hey BlueSwim, Cammie is becoming my favourite character. Shes sweet. Probably going to use the SFIV high res art on my stick.
I'm glad you're liking Cammy.:D:D:D She's been my main for about 12 or 13 years. Just be careful when using the Spinning Back Knuckle in SFIV, from some of the videos I've seen it looks like she can overshoot with it if the opponent is too close. Here's something you might get a (Front) kick out of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXN_0e1Si30

Arcade stick + Cammy + lights = WIN!!!:lol::lol::lol:

[SmallWind]

Cammie is becoming my favourite character. Shes sweet.Wait till everyone starts using E.Honda in HD Remix. Going to change your mind.

Damn that sucks.

I really really don't want to drive 8 hours there just so I could bring a spare CRT, consoles, sticks and whichever. Gotta figure shit out.

[heavyd853]

The stick is cool too!

[Jimbo Slice]

I'll do both interviews at once. I'll PM the questions to you guys later and then post them a day or two interview.

SO
MUCH
POWAR

[djbooba]

I'm interested in the questions you will ask Jim. I know they will be good.

[UjnHunter]

Someone please tell me those MadCats SFIV Pads are wireless on the 360? Please? :\

[SmallWind]

Only PS3 are wireless. The 360 ones are wired.

[jer7583]

I prefer wired for fighting game stuff. Most people would.

[PhrostByte]

Your Xbox avatar is fucking nuts jer.

Damn that sucks.

I really really don't want to drive 8 hours there just so I could bring a spare CRT, consoles, sticks and whichever. Gotta figure shit out.

last time i stayed at the rio which was around new year's last year they still had crt tv's with the working rca plugs in the front of the tv and a working av button to be able to to get to the input needed to play games. this was only in the tower rooms closest to the casino though. dunno about now though since almost every other harrah's affiliated hotel i've been to since then has lcd's with the security box and the weird remote control that won't let you switch a/v ports.

[kainzero]

nowadays i get mad if i lose ONE round in SFHD. man.

i got 4 more losses the other day, all to the same person

[asianxcore]

Thanks for the heads up. I honestly have not been back to Las Vegas in maybe 10+ years, so I'm out of the loop. Though it wouldn't annoy me too much to drive 8 hours to bring all the gear so all the CAG's could play, it would be unnecessary wear on my car when I could fly instead :(

Also how is Cannery Dojo? I want to join you guys sometimes but I'm afraid comparing skill levels to the rest of you folk (looking in Rival's direction) I'll scrub the place up :)

[Mr. Beef]

Punching Bag quesion for Jekki and MarkMangoSentinel!

"Let's say you wake up one day, and you find yourself in the Mark of the Millennium tournament. Who would you choose as your partner (or partners)?"

[hankmecrankme]

Punching bag questions!

For Jekki : What does it truly mean to have "SKILLZ"?

For MarkMang: What is the absolute worst arcade stick you currently own?

[JEKKI]

omg....

[FloodsAreUponUS]

EX2.
HAte.

Looks like Fightpads are in at best buy.

Must see if mine has them!

[PhrostByte]

Punching bag questions:

JEKKI: Explain your lack of forum vs. voice personality consistency. On CAG forums, your personality is completely random and inexplicable. When I talked to you on XBox Live once, you were very mild mannered and calm.

MarkMan: So.... how about that CAG discount? :D

[Nelo Ice]

damn i want to check my best buy now but im not sure if i should drop the money on both the TE and a fightpad:bomb:

cannery dojo is cool man, you should come down the next time onikage throws something. don't be worried about being to scrubby or whatever haha, everybody there just wants to get better and the better guys like thrust07 and a_rival are always down to give helpful tips on everyone's play. haha, i'm the biggest scrub there anyways. :(

also if you come through make sure you come on an empty stomach because onikage's girlfriend is always cooking up hella grub and snacks for everybody.

as far as evo, they have a bring your own console setup with tvs already there if i remember correctly so all you really need to bring is whatever console and sticks you want to play on. just gotta swoop up on a setup quickstyle to play on during the day. there's too much to do in vegas to just trap yourself in a room and play games all night anyways. :P

[asianxcore]

cannery dojo is cool man, you should come down the next time onikage throws something.

Word. As I posted on SRK, I'll bring free beer if he throws something together again soon. I haven't played Rival since everyone stopped going to Scandia up in Sonoma County Fri/Sat nights. Long ass time ago.

Also if you are at the next Cannery Dojo gathering, I gotta play you in something. I have a feeling you aren't as scrubby as you make it seem :)

True about staying in a room playing games all night in Vegas. I'm guessing though if I do go, I'd like to get a couple games in against FG Thread Alum, mostly because a lot of stuff I play seriously isn't online capable.

[gigan54]

ggs guys. smallwinds' cammy is SICK! so's Beef's hawk

[SmallWind]

ggs, giga-miester and beefaroni.

[Mr. Beef]

Yeah, good games Smallwind and Gigan! I think I had the most fun playing your Gief, gigan. I don't know what it is about the SPD, but I always enjoy seeing it, whether or not I'm on the recieving end.

Man, I seriously can't play Shotos for shit in HDR. I tried practicing with some other characters earlier today, ad I was getting Sgt. Slaughtered all day. Then I switch it up to Dictator, and iunno, something just clicked.

[RelentlessRolento]

just reserved SFIV reg edition since I realize I only want 2 things from the CE.

also signed up for my local Gamestop tourney... what are the prizes and when is it?

[hankmecrankme]

February 21st, 2 PM. Headbands and controllers depending on how far you go.

I think day one is Feb. 21. Win that tourney and you get a yellow Ryu headband.

Damn BlueSwim, that music is awesome!

The stick is cool too!
When I saw that stick, the first words in my head were "Lights?! Cammy?! DO WANT!!!".:lol::lol::lol: I found that video when I was checking out light mods for sticks. I wonder how hard it would be to add lighted buttons to the TE?

[RelentlessRolento]

anyone have tips on SFIV to prep for the tourney? I don't know who I want to try and play... I was leaning towards Dan, but I hear he's terrible... Maybe Sagat (ie. top char)?

[suko_32]

Tip: Mentally prepare yourself in using a 360 controller. It may not even be a first party controller.

[Mr. Beef]

I'll be using Bison, since I'm at least practicing with him in HDRemix.

[Chacrana]

WHAT THE FUCK? Fuckin' Fly Khicks didn't get kicked off ABDC? They have been boring as shit every damn week.

[JEKKI]

yeay but Wendy is fukkyn hot...

got damn she's hot

I dont even like Tina anymore, seriously.

I'm all about Wendy now

[RelentlessRolento]

Tip: Mentally prepare yourself in using a 360 controller. It may not even be a first party controller.


fuck.

[asianxcore]

WHAT THE FUCK? Fuckin' Fly Khicks didn't get kicked off ABDC? They have been boring as shit every damn week.

Fuck that. Someone please explain to me how Dynamic Edition has stayed on so long. IMO they are just as a one-trick-pony as some of the crews over the past few seasons.

Gamestop SFIV tourney tips? The only tip I'd give is enjoy yourself. As Suko mentioned the 360 controller is the biggest thing you should be worried about.

Your hand will turn into a lobster claw throwing out Ultras in SFIV on the 360 pad :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/cowboyswagger/claw-hand1.jpg

oh well... at least I can practice a few days before... might use the new characters since less people will know how to fight against them.

[GuardianE]

Why is it that when I see "Classic Pack," it reads "Everyone Else" to me?

Pretty nice, though. I'm such a Capcom whore that I'll shell out the points for it. I can't click the link because it's blocked at work, but any news on getting a discount when buying all of them?

[Jimbo Slice]

I can't believe Fly Khicks are still on...

and I like Dynamic Edition. They're at least different compared to everyone else.

[PhrostByte]

So I went to GameCrazy today to pre-order SFIV. The guy there was pretty cool.. apparently they're having a tournament that no one has signed up for yet. I have work that day but I might take off to participate. We talked about random shit for like 20 minutes: the tournament, the TE stick, SFIV, arcades, how he wants to start one, Fallout 3, FEAR 2, a bunch of shit. It was great.. but when he was talking about starting an arcade.. it got me thinking. That might be a great idea.. there aren't any real arcades in Baltimore. I know the economy is poor right now.. and with SFIV coming out on consoles, the arcades will take a big hit... but it's still got me taking the idea seriously.

I have always thought about this, and I want to buy the arcade thats in the mall here in Virginia and turn it around.
The latest game they have is Soul Calibur 2.

Yeah man. I hate it when they talk, and one of the girls has a nose that takes up the whole stage, but they're a lot of fun to watch and they add a bit of variety to the show.

Seriously can't believe Ringmasters got the boot though... they were by far the most creative group on the show. Fly Khicks are just like "oh, we're cheerleaders, but now we dance sometimes sorta." I mean yeah, they're more attractive than the guys in Ringmasters because they aren't guys, but they also are terrible.

Thankfully 8 On The Break happens to be like a super-badass arcade (with amazing cheese steaks) but it sucks that I have to travel to a different state to get there! I miss when I could just go to a mall and BOOM, arcade. And Dave & Busters doesn't count either because all they have is DDR and racing games. :-(

Maaan the early 90's arcade landscape was the best around here. You could count on just about any mom-n-pop video store (or comic store, when those were around) to have something good! I had a ton of options within walking distance of my house.

[PhrostByte]

Yea.. of course the biggest question is profitability. Everything else comes second. Still... it seems like a great idea to me. And who better to start an arcade than two video game nerds? I got a couple weeks to think about it.. the GameCrazy is about 15 miles from here and I won't be back there until I come to pick-up my SFIV... hopefully when I come, he'll be there, I can tell him I'm interested, and discuss some of my ideas.

[jer7583]

beyond having to use regular 360 pads for the gamestop tourna-shit, they'll probably be using demo kiosk controllers, meaning they're almost certainly broken in some way from small children vomiting on them daily.

I know the economy is poor right now.. and with SFIV coming out on consoles, the arcades will take a big hit... but it's still got me taking the idea seriously.

My brother and I have pondered this idea several times for an arcade in the Baltimore area, mainly White Marsh after Tilt closed down several years ago. One of the reasons you don't see any "real" arcade in the area anymore is due to Maryland entertainment tax per machine, which would eat up a lot of revenue from operators, something like 10% of profit per machine not including other taxes and licensing per year. Tilt closed down due to the mall wanting them out, so they raised the rent on the space as a way to get rid of them. Tilt wasn't the best but at least they catered to some of the fighting game fans with Tekken 5 and MvC2.

If you are interest there is a distributor in the area that deals with sale of coin-op machines. He actually used to own Sports in Cockeysville and Boardwalk Fun in Harford Mall.

http://www.weinerd.com/

[BustaUppa]

And who better to start an arcade than two video game nerds?haha very good point. I loved the old Nathan's around here, it was definitely the LARGEST local arcade, but you could tell that the staff didn't give a shit about their games. Once a controller was busted you could pretty much count on it being busted forever. Meanwhile at 8OTB it's common to see them doing "surgery" on an arcade cabinet just to get everything feeling right... it blew my mind the first time I went there and I saw half the machines with freshly-replaced controls!

[Chacrana]

If you provide all of the capital, I will do it.

[jer7583]

I've heard also that many local governments HATE arcades because they're notorious for bringing down the land value because they suppossedly attract an undesirable element to the area. Thus the reason for the tax per machine to kill revenue and whatever other means they can say to avoid making your business venture succeed.

It's really a perception that's not in line with reality, but it's there. I know it was a part of the difficulties my family had in opening one at our mini-golf/driving range there. If we didn't have that attached business to up the land value, the arcade part wouldn't happen (IE: Bring in them white folk!) Just sad, pathetic local politics at play, really.

Define "decent" arcade. What you are playing?

For fighters there is China Fair in China Town/Manhattan. Lots of people play there. They have every fighter there you'll ever want to play.

Also in terms of starting an arcade, I'm no expert, but is there a scene in MD? You'd be going up against some well established arcades/scenes in nearby areas. You'd have to ask yourself or research what you'd be offering to these existing scenes/casuals/top players that they aren't already getting in their own local arcades they haunt. Checking out the regional forums on SRK would be a start. There is a MD thread, start reading/asking where players there frequent. I'm sure MarkMan can shed a light.

East Coast:
-University Pinball (Philadelphia)
-China Fair (New York)
-Peter Pan Games (Bayside, NY)

West Coast:
FFA (Everywhere, CA)
Denjin (Simi Valley, CA)
Sunnyvale Golfland (Sunnyvale, CA)
Milpitas Golfland (Milpitas, CA)
Keystone II (San Jose, CA)
Planet Zero (Houston, TX)
UFO Arcade (Austin, TX)

The arcade scene in MD is dead as far as I know.

Thanks Jim! :)

I posted those as examples as arcades that obviously the respective scenes have embraced. They obviously offer varying things (selection/imports, stick/button maintenance, GREAT COMPETITION, etc.) to keep people coming.

Here's a question. Where near Baltimore is there a Gamecrazy? Official Gamecrazys (with the pre-order coin) are pretty much nowhere to be found... the closest being in Annapolis.

For fighters there is China Fair in China Town/Manhattan. Lots of people play there. They have every fighter there you'll ever want to play.My definition of "decent" is basically that it has games with joysticks. A surprising rarity in arcades these days! I'll definitely have to check out that Manhattan arcade sometime.

I guess I should revise my statement to read "I gotta cross a bridge to get to a decent arcade."

[FloodsAreUponUS]

I have to cross multiple states to get to a decent arcade.

Yep. They also have this weird system where you can't use money - you hafta use like a card or something, but I dunno where to get those or how to put money on them. Technology's just gotten too nuts for me.

[Mr. Beef]

Man, people can get real bitchy about throws online. I was practicing with Bison a little while ago, and I play another Bison. I beat him in one match, then continue on, and i get a message from him. He's apparently furious, and starts complaining that all I did was Psycho Crusher back and forth into throws, and told me that Bison players like me are the reason Bison has a bad reputation. :lol:

I messaged him back, telling him that it was his problem if he couldn't win, learn from what happened, and that the next time he plays someone similar to me, he might know how to win.

...Bison has a bad reputation? :lol:

[RelentlessRolento]

[hankmecrankme]

...Bison has a bad reputation? :lol:

Dude, he's the fucking dictator of Thailand, lord of Shadaloo (シャドルー, Shadorū, sometimes spelled as "Shadoloo", "Shadowloo" or "Shadowlaw"), of course he's got a bad rep.

Killing is his business, and business is good. . .

He is also... codename 47?

[Chacrana]

It's not by Fox Valley Mall. It's the one that's on Aurora... it's sorta close, though. Probably the same one you're thinking of actually. So yes, that one.

[gigan54]

i want battle fantasia. so i want tekken 5 dr but i can't seem to justify the $30 price tag on it. is it worth it? does anybody want to lend me their psn account so i can download it? any info would help.

Begging for tekken is bad form. If you want it for 6 bucks, go start a gameshare group for it. Wrong thread for that stuff. Also, the game is great and looks gorgeous at 1080p @ 60fps. Online isnt too great, especially when youve played HD Remix on XBLA, that is at the moment the gold standard for console fighting online.

[refusedchaos]

ok ok again i need help deciding. Here is my current situation

i can ether:

1. get the SFIV TE stick, be worried about money a lil bit
2. get the SFIV FightStick, a lil pressure relieved
3. get the SFIV FightPad, totally relieved about money, can get my golden gundam ps2

my friends tell me to go with option 3, but im a lil put off on how the reviews say that they feel like cheap plastic *remembers the nubytech sf controllers*. Also, ive grew up playing my figthers using pads not sticks, i hardly go to the arcades anymore...though i like the TE stick...what should i do!?

thanks for the heads up. I didn't know where was a gameshare group. I usually just stick with the fighter thread and that's it. I mainly wanted to know if online was worth the extra 10. I'll probably just buy it without the online. Thanks for the input.

If your more comfortable and think you'll be better with pads, stay with that. I can also go with the Fightstick for now and then later mod it with better parts when you have more money.

The pad is good. I usually use stick but I bought one to try out until Gamestop gets my TE in.

option 4.

get rich or dying trying.

G-G-G-G-UNIT!!!

real talk, do option 2.

if u want a stick then get a stick!! then a few months down the line if u feel up to it invest another $50 into official sanwa parts.

[ZerotypeX]

It's not by Fox Valley Mall. It's the one that's on Aurora... it's sorta close, though. Probably the same one you're thinking of actually. So yes, that one.

yea, the one on Aurora Ave. I use to go there all the time with my friend when they had like 50% off on all arcades on Tuesday. Now, I only go when he is in town, which is like never.

To get the brunswick key (where you put money on it to play the games there), you gotta go up to the counter and ask for one. Forgot if they charged a dollar for it like the Gameworks cards.

Don't know if you noticed, they also have a MvC, MvC2, Tekken 4 machine there also.

- How long would you be worried about money for? (i.e. what is the timing of your paychecks)

I think Ken's is only active on the first frame for fierce, otherwise you'll get thrown.

Do jab or counter throw or something.


My best strategy for playing ST is to think like a dude that was born in the 70's

[jer7583]

chun needs that advantage or shotos would own her even more.

Srsly, shotos, especially ryu really give her a hard time. Her throw is one of the only things stopping endless wakeup DP/crossup nonsense. Thank god her throw is a beast.

[RelentlessRolento]

considering doing some fighter based art this next saturday if I have time... can't decide on if I want to do Dan Hibiki or Tekken (probably dragunov riding Kuma or something).

I've committed to a Skies of Arcadia piece for someone so that might have to come first.


small heads up on the film: With cash in hand, I'll be ordering costumes tonight (ie. spandex ranger outfits). Also it looks like Jimbo Slice and Mr. Beef are going to be combined into a single fast food TV add. So far that makes Jimbo Slice, Mr. Beef, me, Markman, JEKKI, and Blueswim as confirmedfor the film.... still hav eto work out everyone else.

Don't be surprised if I have a hard time getting ur name into the film that you'll be part of a noteacable set piece.

Got Chun Fight Pad yesterday,its good but not as good as a saturn pad.


As much as I have tried it, I just don't think the Saturn pad is that good. It feels like the thing is going to break in my hands.

I think Ken's is only active on the first frame for fierce, otherwise you'll get thrown.

Do jab or counter throw or something.


My best strategy for playing ST is to think like a dude that was born in the 70's
huh?

if it's active on the first frame, that means it'll hit. first-frame active is something to keep in mind for safe jumps, not for throws. also, any shoryuken have throw invincibility from the first frame anyway anyway.

the reason why i mash fierce (or rather, i piano and then mash fierce) is because i end with towards + fierce so i can tech out.

chun needs that advantage or shotos would own her even more.

Srsly, shotos, especially ryu really give her a hard time. Her throw is one of the only things stopping endless wakeup DP/crossup nonsense. Thank god her throw is a beast.
pfft
she can turtle / trade fireballs all day and then base her game entirely around stored super.
her j.forward and j.short can beat or trade with any shoryuken except for ken's strong SRK and akuma's everything.
s.strong + c.forward are great pokes.
her tiny hitbox makes it really difficult to hit with a crossup and kneebash-walk under games, especially with that dumb throw.

the matchup is even, if not slightly biased against shotos because super is that good.

Scoured the other Best Buy to try and get a controller. Asked, and the punk said "we're not selling them till the 10th." Which kinda pisses me off since a lot of other people seem to have been successful. And doesn't it come out on the 20th? If you're gonna lay down the law, at least be accurate.

Was happy to see some random dude asking about SFIV though... people actually know about this game. It's weird. I like that.

Foolishly, I tried asking Gamestop if they had the pads in stock and got the typical preorder pushing business. Though I laughed at them when they were totally convinced they were getting me to preorder this thing, and then the system said they weren't taking preorders anymore.

Great read MarkMan.

[jer7583]

Fair, kainzero. I still sweat good ryu matches like nothing except vega.

[Jest]

Oh.... I was hoping for a "No not really but I'll do something just for you, pal!"

Fuck Akuma. Someone want to teach me how to play charge characters. Couldn't pull of a sonic boom if my life depended on it.

STREET FIYTAH FO SON

[BlueSwim]

Oh.... I was hoping for a "No not really but I'll do something just for you, pal!"
There were only two words that popped into my head when I read that line, Dick Gumshoe.:lol::lol::lol:

Ryu/Arcade followed by Viper/Training, and finally Viper/Arcade since that should unlock Cammy.



EDIT: You better change that "Ballet > Break Dance" thing in your title before JEKKI kills you, Jest.:lol::lol::lol:

[Jest]

Oh mang... All characters aren't unlocked? I can't even get past level 2 on Arcade in HDR D=

[Chacrana]

I'm gonna start with Ken, just because. But I'm going to move onto other characters, too.

[Jest]

Dun worry I'm with Lili. And I dont have it on XBL PhrostByte :(
