Looks like Accent Core Plus is coming to PSP, in Japan at least.

With a little luck, it'll see an English release (hell, I'll even take a European release, as long as it's in English). I'd prefer an English release of the PS2 edition, but I'll take what I can get.[/QUOTE]

Man, fuck tha PSP.

Actually, I used a slim recently and the d-pad is much better. But I'm an arcade stick snob now.

Oh, I completely agree. I just have an unexplainable love for the incoherent story that is the GG universe, and am desperate for the next "installment" of story mode.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']"What is the most difficult move to pull off in a game?"[/QUOTE]

Akira's K+G then release G after one frame knee strike. I cannot do that move ever. Maybe once in a 100 tries, maybe.

QFMFT. The thing is, landing either move does a shitload of damage. If you can do them somewhat often, you can usually win.

I'mma finally get to play some SSBB. Go me.
 
I finally went ahead and ordered not one, but two adapters for the Dreamcast that let me use PS2 controllers, so I can finally get some enjoyment out of those copies of Last Blade 2 and Capcom Vs. SNK 2 that I've got. Really looking forward to it.

Also picked up Metal Slug 6, but that's got nothing to do with fighters.


Still mad excited for SNK Arcade Classics. It actually looks like the date won't slip on this, despite being an SNK title.
 
I bought an adapter for my DC a long time ago. It lets me use PS and Saturn controllers on my DC, so I love using a Saturn pad and my big ass custom stick with CvS2, Project Justice, and MvC2. It's great. The best purchase I made for my DC, along with my VGA box.
 
Anyone else not able to play online matches in Street Fighter II HF for XBLA? I know matches are there but it doesn't find or connect to them.

This is one of the live auditions for new characters in Street Fighter IV, if you ever wanted to know how fighting games get new characters...

the competition must be tough coz I dont think he made it in, yet his movelist is INCREDIBLE!!

The Devil's Uppercut?? The Clap of Death??

clap of motherfuckin death!!! you die when you get hit!!

maybe that's why he didnt make it... too broken by default...
 
Hmm... wonder how lag-free the new adapter is... I only had one but I should've gotten a second, becoz my friend always wants to play Melty Blood on the PC and it ain't happenin' on the keyboard.
 
well it's marketed as a guitar hero adapter...

I never played that game but I would assume the timing is pretty strict and thus the adapter shouldnt afford to lag...

unless guitar hero is all dumbed down for americangs and their lack of skillz
 
I'm convinced it is kinda dumbed down after playing Beatmania for a month... I'm even more elitist than I was before!

But yeah, if it works for Guitar Hero and does so well, then it probably is lag-free. I'll probably check it out soon.
 
I was using a Radioshack adapter before I got my Pelican, and I couldn't pull of even the simplest maneuver with any consistency. Thing was fuckin' terrible. I could've given it away to somebody, but instead I threw it in the garbage and spat on it. And that was the last I saw of it.

Odd, mine works fine. It can't be that I suck so much to not notice it...I hope.
 
[quote name='gunm']Wait, that pelican adapter I picked up for $15 is worth over $100?[/QUOTE]

if true, I need to sell as well >_<

I went on ebay and only found one being sold for a few bucks but a few days to go.
 
[quote name='suko_32']Odd, mine works fine. It can't be that I suck so much to not notice it...I hope.[/QUOTE]

I think there were two different versions released. I had the first one, so maybe the second one was improved... still wouldn't recommend it out of principle, though.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']the ant commando one is being sent to me sometime this week. I'll have my review up of it soon.[/QUOTE]

I would be really happy if it turned out to be as good or better than the Pelican adapter.

I'm tired of scouring all the EB/Gamestop's I go to hoping to find a random Pelican adapter. I need a second one! :)

Anyone playing the MGS4 beta?
 
I have the blue and black Radioshack adapter, and it works fine with a Dual Shock 2. It lags like a motherfucker with my custom stick and my Tekken 5 stick though. My custom stick uses a standard, old school Sony PS controller, so it must just hate digital-only controllers or something. I use the Pelican adapters with my PS3 and PC and they are awesome. It's sad that they are discontinued, because they are rock solid.
 
I still buy fighting games, but i dont play them as nearly as much as i used due to all my fighting game friends left college :(
 
I can't believe i saw Art of Fighting Anthology for $10 at CC. I might get it, seeing as how I may finally have a PS2 this summer. KOF was also $12. I had to put them down because I could see that turning into a small shopping spree and I already bought GTA IV collectors edition.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']Hey there budz with PS3s. Log onto your Japanese PSN account and download the Battle Fantasia demo.

Fighting games
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']My V-ism combo =
crouching short kicks nonstop
.

Yeah, I'm an A-ism scrub. ;)[/quote]
No worries, I'm a V-ism scrub. =) I'll still lose to A-Kens, A-Ryus with my V-Sakura and even more with my V-Karin even though I know the basic combos and setups.

I just prefer V-ism because it's a lot easier for me to do a VC than it is to cancel into a super.
 
Wish I could play the Battle Fantasia demo. I'm probably going to get it at the end of next month.

On a non-FG related note, I get my first tattoo in about 2 hours. A song lyric on my ribs/side. Ouch
 
Hmm... if IGN's review is to be believed, it looks as though SNK managed to fuck up once again with the SNK Arcade Classics thing that was coming out. I dunno how these people suck at their jobs so much and yet still manage to keep them.

Well, maybe IGN was just playing it on the PS3 or something and it wasn't working well...

the major issue seemed to be slowdown on some of the fighting games... hopefully that doesn't affect Metal Slug, Shock Troopers, or Baseball Stars 2.

And AZNxCore, take a pic, plz.
 
I'm bored and I just got to thinking.

I think the death of arcades was due to arcades themselves. 25 cents is too little to really maintain and make a worthwhile profit off of a cabinet. Raise it to a dollar, maybe even 50, and people will complain and go elsewhere. I remember when my local arcade raised the price on MvC2 from 25 to 50. Everyone there played elsewhere, I just quit playing. Japan is 100 - 200 Yen per game, which is roughly a dollar to two dollars. Hmm, could that be why they're still alive?

I'm reading this Smash thread where someone wanted to have a tournament where the entry fee was raised from $8 to $12, with included venue fee being bumped from $3 to $4. Everyone complained, saying that it was too much and that the venue was being greedy and profiting off of the poor entrants.

Seriously?
Oh man, I remember entering those tournaments in Mission Beach where I think it was $15 for 3 hours, just so I can play casuals against the best in SD. I don't think I did very well. =)

I'm just stuck thinking that there isn't enough money in the scene to really make it grow and that people don't wanna pay enough to really make it happen.
 
I think in Japan, the reason they're still alive is mainly because they DO make money.

Arcade games here don't make much money unless it has a strong fanbase / new game :(

Plus in Japan they just have more people that play the game. It is a lot more social and interactive than what we have.... VF NET, Tekken Net anyone?

People bitch anytime prices go up. If there's still a place where it's 25 cents, people will run there. It's a bad Catch-22. People won't pay more than a quarter and arcades can't afford to charge just a quarter.

I will hopefully soon. The saran wrap is still on it, so I have to wait a little bit to take a decent picture.

[quote name='depascal22']Good luck with that tat, asian. Sounds like something that's gonna hurt.[/QUOTE]

Oh it hurt!

There is a reason why the ribs are known as the "champ spot" to get a tattoo. It's all pretty much bone and a whole ton of nerve endings. You pretty much feel everything.

It took about 2 hours to do but standing up and looking at my first tattoo in the mirror was worth all the pain :)

part of it's gotta be the culture. back in the day, everyone played fighting games. it was the hot shit, it pretty much had most of the media coverage, people you knew who you didn't think even played video games knew street fighter.. it's just different now. and it's hard to explain it. everything else is clear cut (desire for lower costs and more availability of comp), but i don't really know what happened with the culture. less players, less media coverage, less games being made. were fighting games just a fad? did the decent-to-shitty players just give up on the grind? do new players really dislike fighting games that much because they lack a rewarding single player experience? maybe fighting games aren't pretty enough. it seems like the prettiest ones seem to be the most popular with casual fighting gamers.

i think that if fighting game scene didn't have the drop-off that it did in the late 90's, arcades would probably be more prominent than they are now, even with online console gaming available.
 
Even if they didn't drop off, Xbox Live would've meant the death of arcades.

Don't forget the social aspect of the arcade. In the 80's, it was perfectly natural to drop your kid off in an arcade for hours. Parents slowly realized that most arcades were drunken pedophile central and forbade the kids from going there. I know that's an over-generalization.

I stopped going to arcades because I got tired of the looks from parents when I'd walk in. You could tell that you better have a kid with you if you're going to be over a certain age.
 
Even in Japan arcades are starting to lose momentum. You guys remember the article a few threads back about Sega & Namco shutting down tons of arcades all over Japan. With that said I don't expect them do die out in the far east anytime soon.

Been a while since I posted in this thread. Haven't played a fighter for a while now. The only one I do play occasionally is Street Fighter HF online. In fact I'm getting rid of a bunch of fighters on my tradelist. If anyone's interested they should take a look.

Everyone doing good in here? Gimmie an update on what's new.
