[quote name='MarkMan']Akihabara Shop is selling them for the same price, about $205 shipped via EMS to the US.

Aesthetically it looks nice. But you can make it the same stick if you just buy the buttons separately. I believe the buttons are just OBSF-30s, not the RGs. The price hike is due to the damn shipping :(

Cuz it's only 10,000 yen vs 8,400 yen (HRAP2). Damn shipping costs almost as much as the stick.
[/QUOTE]

I saw them on Akihabara Shop and was tempted but for some reason, it's easier to justify $195 + $11 shipping as opposed to ~130 + ~80 shipping. Weird and pointless I know.

As far as buying the buttons separately, are you talking about converting my old, regular, HRAP2 into a "special" one? I knew that it was possible but I needed 2 good sticks anyhow for those rare occasions when someone comes over that plays fighting games.
 
^^ Yes, modding an HRAP is real easy.

But it's good to have 2 sticks ;)

Like I always say, never gonna know when you'll need another one... or 45.
 
Got this stuff today...

The Ant Commandos PS2 to PS3 converter. Works great with PS2 guitars on PS3 Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. But is not as good as the Pelican converter (best one out there for PS1/PS2 arcade sticks on PS3) for fighting games. So after the sad testing session was done, I went to GameStop randomly... where I saw...

Holy crap, NEW for $9.99!? Don't mind if I do. I almost did a triple take. If you're familiar with these, you should know how much they go for on eBay. Yikes.

Here is a link to my review of the TAC PS2 to PS3 converter:

Top article.

NOTE: This review only pertains to the converter and it's use with fighting games. Our guitar compatibility portion of the review is still being written. Should be up sometime soon.

Pretty crazy price... that is the highest ended one. Everything else fluctuates.

I would have felt so evil for buying yours off of you when you offered back then.

The gods took notice of my actions and presented me with a new one today ;)[/QUOTE]

woah! geeze!

I'll probably have mine up in a week or so since even if I sell it for not much, I have no use for it anyway.
 
Seems like a bunch of ppl are trying to put it out now cuz of the new TAC converter hitting the market. If you don't sell it, I'd say keep it just in case you ever transition over to the stick side.

You know you wanna talk about sticks and shafts with me all night long ;) nohomo

sad thing is I've always wanted to convert to stick, but it's never been in my budget. every time i'm so close to getting or making one, other things become a priority. I know someday I will though. d-pad is annoying the fuck outa me.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']An Ikki Tousen game? Somehow, I feel like if I comment that it can't be worse than the anime, it'll somehow manage it.[/quote]
but don't you love a fight scene where a girl orgasms in the middle of it?

I hate it when that's not all the show consists of.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']when did these come out???

that kaz is nice![/quote]

Those never came out unfortunately. ;(

I still have a stack of their promotional materials from like 3 years ago. :(

Such a waste. The Devil Jin one was really nicely made too!
 
[quote name='Chacrana']I hate it when that's not all the show consists of.[/quote]
Ah yes. Let's not forget the cunning linguist scene as well.

Nah seriously that show sucked, I got through 2 episodes (witnessing the mid-match orgasm) and my friend showed me the cunning linguist to show how much worse it got.

Ironically, this show aired in the morning at around 10am, in contrast to most anime, which airs at 1:00 am or similar late late night hours.
 
Damn, I'm jealous MarkMan. I'm still looking for a "cheap" second adapter.

I might have to check out that Rock Band converter. Would be nice to able to use the PS2 GH1 guitar I kept.

On a random note, after only 4 months working at Borders I applied for/got offered a supervisor's position. Excitement.

Kicks the crap out of working R-Zone at TRU for 2 1/2 and being offfered nothing.
 
I think we would all be much happier if we just never wasted any of our attention on that game.

so yah? let's stop.

it's up to us to make sure crap like that either disappears or never happens,

we have the POWER!! it's up to US!!
 
I really think MK needs an artistic revamp.

I also wish I had a life fastforward button so I could get to summer and fighting games!
 
To be honest I haven't been following any of the Tagosare Frontier games, but this latest one looks cool--I'm thinking of importing this.

I don't know if Zun is involved, but a lot of his influence appears to be there.
 
again, for some reason, all-female fighters really turn me off. the only exception is, and I'm being entirely honest and upfront, when it's extremely sexualized.
 
Nice snag on the Pelican adapter Markman. I didn't hesitate one second when I picked up one at GS for $3. It was marked Used, but it wasn't opened. I even used my Edge card to get that 30 cent discount. ;)

Too bad I opened mine, otherwise I'd be tempted to put it on Ebay. I use both of mine, so I probably wouldn't though, but getting that much cash for one would rock.
 
[quote name='gunm']I don't know if Zun is involved, but a lot of his influence appears to be there.[/quote] ZUN is involved with this game. There's a demo out for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.
 
Not sure if you guys have been keeping up with the latest videos, but... check out:

http://sdtekken.com/tekken-6

The battle for TEKKEN LORD in Japan! The two highest ranked players, Takeyama (BOB) and Second Generation Mainstreet Ryu (KAZ) battle until one is promoted to TEKKEN LORD!

This is very high level stuff, check it out.
 
Can you use a 48 hour trial code? I have a few sitting here.

OT, my friend has silver now, and it's bullshit that he has to wait a week to download new demos.

Also, I'm hosting CAG Tekken night tonight, so if anyone wants in, inform me.
 
I would try to get in Tekken later tonight.......but I destroyed my six-axis last night. It was already breaking, but I lost like 3 matches in a row because of either lag or buttons not working on it so I threw it into the ground and it exploded rather gloriously.


I did order a ds3 that shipped on the 8th though.
 
Yeah, the sixaxis is really shitty in terms of build quality... mine was acting up, too, but it was worth smashing that shit just to see how tremendously it exploded.
 
I haven't had any problems with the Sixaxis, outside of the Bluetooth desyncing. Yeah, it's a little flimsy, but so was the Dual Shock 2. I think the Sixaxis has a better pad than the DS2. The only thing I don't care for is the L2 and R2 triggers. But as a whole, I'd rather use the Sixaxis for fighters than the 360 controller.

But none of them will ever be as good as my favorite, the Saturn pad (not the American batarang version ;)). Which reminds me of how disappointed I was when I used the Dreamcast pad for the first time. Now there was a system that could do badass 2D fighters, but the controller sucked for them. Which is why I didn't hesitate to order an adapter to use PS1 and Saturn controllers on it.

I'm a little rusty in VF5, but I still kicked some ass online. It's been a while since I played it.
 
Don't let someone see you bash that Sony product here on CAG!!! lol

But yea first couple revision of SIXAXIS controllers sucked ;(
 
How many Sixaxis revisions are there? I know the Dual Shock and DS2 went through a shitload of them. For the record, my Sixaxis is from March 2007, when I bought my PS3 just to play Tekken 5 DR and VF5.
 
I'm finally 5th dan in VF5 online. My record is 352 and 260-ish.

The only recent new news I've heard about SF4 is that Dimps is working on it. . . I'll wait until I actually play it before I declare that a good or bad thing. I thought The Rumble Fish was OK.
