CAG PS3 Fighting Game Matchmaking Thread - Injustice out NAO!

[quote name='snakemaster2389']good but cheap.[/QUOTE]

I don't think such a thing exists for sticks. Hori and MadCatz's sticks usually go on sale for around $100.
 
I dunno if they still have 'em, but Gamestop used to sell Madcatz Brawlsticks for $30. You could just mod them with Sanwa parts (easy as hell) which would bring the total to around $70 - $80, maybe even cheaper if you want to settle for used parts.
 
So how about dat Virtua Fighter?.... Yeaa....

Anyways, just chiming in the thread. What's everyone up to these days? Also Evo is in two weeks? I'm so out of it.

Oh yeah, for those of you with an @Gamer Unlocked membership at BB. You can get SC5 for $10 after coupon. So now would be a good a time as any if any of you were on the fence.

thats rite, forgot to mention that i picked up sc5 for 20 a month ago a best buy and its so much fun. ezio is really good too and fits in the game perfectly.
 
Damn, i have 10 hours to decide if i want to enter the VF5 tourney for evo, the problem is i will likely not be there on time for friday morning pools, if they get started at like 3-4pm, i'll likely make it but it says 9am, would suck to get dq'd and not even play!
 
Bought a TVC stick for 25 cause the guy said 4 of the buttons were sanwa. I took it apart and it has 6 of the 8 buttons as sanwa and the stick is a full JLF sanwa stick. I already replaced all the stuff back to stock and am going to sell the TVC back stock for what i paid for it and keep all the sanwa goodies.
 
Are you going to evo option? Im leaving here friday morning at like 3-4am, can't wait. Just wish they announced the floe thing earlier, cannot believe its on thursday, i was expecting it to be during the evening on friday or saturday. REALLY wanted to see that boshy live =(
 
[quote name='Paco']Dive Kick is gonna be the new hype. Gonna overtake Street Fighter Yun and Yang edition.[/QUOTE]

Other then AE12 and SFxT, finals were MAD hype, especially kof13 and umvc3. Marvel was the best top 8 ive ever seen in my life, it was insane and i expected AE to be hype and marvel to be boring. In person, everyone was just going nuts for marvel finals.
 
Its nice Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is getting released for psn/xbla. The pricing is a bit steep though.

Now if Capcom would give me Power Stone 2 and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom I would be happy. I know we got mvc3 and umvc3 but I would like to play TVC on something besides Wii.


Even better was the Deadpool game that was announced. :drool:
 
Hey anyone else got a Vita? I've been playing Mortal Kombat in the shitter just farting it up with the mic on. Love the vita.
 
Isn't the Vita pretty much dying... No games, and the few that are on there are dropping in price quickly.

Excited for Jojo's HD. But still... so many fighters coming out. The 2nd coming of the fighting game dark ages is nearing...
 
I wasted my money on GaYsBLU and Trollcana Heart. So I bought a Vita. It's actually a great system. But the games are coming out at a trickles pace. The features slam the 3ds and have better online capability than the PS3. Just needs some games. And people were saying the 3ds was dying last year too when it sold worse than the vita at this point in time.

I say give it time. Everyone says that Doom and Gloom shit about Sony, Nintendo, Google and whatnot. Don't believe that hype.
 
But it is rough times ahead. The only platforms that are going to just go up and up are the mobile sectors with Android and iOS. Sony, MS and Nintendo are screwed for next gen. The wii single handedly destroyed the video game industry, all the casuals bought it and realized they dont need a full console for mini games, just some apps on their phones or tablets.

The hardcore will remain for now, but the hardcore gaming scene isnt very big. And honestly, what is upgrading to a PS4/720 going to get me, i already have fully functional online on both systems and games in hd. If prettier graphics could do it, then people would all have GTX680s in their pc's.

Im really interested to see where all of this ends up at. Exciting times, thats for sure. And i agree with option, the dark age of fighters is here. Too many, and prices like 20 bucks for jojo is absurd. Things will slow down hard.
 
The real dark age won't start until Mace; The Dark Age gets a remake/reboot. Or an HD rerelease.

My PS3 only plays fighters and Blurays, 360 holds down my desk, and PC is where I game 99% of the time. Steam owns my wallet.

Back on topic, can't wait for TTT2. ^__^
 
I haven't been gaming much in quite a while but I wanted to do so tonight and can't right now due to my internet service.

I'm calling tomorrow and getting dsl. There's no fucking way it could be any worse at these so called peak hours.

I might go back to cable if they ever get there fiber optic going.

Just did a speed test and it read 0.9mb then 4mb then 2mb then 1mb ect ect. Unstable piece of shit. Its only like that during the so called peak hours.
 
I wasn't dicking around today. Got up and put in a order for service for that DSL. There coming Friday between 1pm-5pm. I love the time there coming but it would have been better if they said Wensday.

The prices have changed for the service. Its faster than my cable is and cheaper. :lol:

They claim it don't boggle down at certain times but we'll see. I would be willing to bet money it wouldn't get as slow as the cable does from what I've seen. I've been at my friends house testing it during the times mine sucks ass. Its results are still what they should be.

When my cable craps out it goes to like 6-15 mbps. BOO THAT SUCKS! I pay for 30-40 mbps and I want it at that speed ALWAYS. SHAKE DAT CABLE LAFFY TAFFY. NO BOY NO CRY!

So... Will I be happy with the DSL or will it tank on me as well? I don't care much about the actual speed as long as its stable. When I had 3mb it was fine for games as long as it was stable.

Yours gets down to 6-15mb from 30-40? Craziness. I know internet isn't always perfect but geez. xD

Mines only 5mb and it gets down to the amazing 0.8mb is about the lowest anymore. Before they did what it could get down to 0.2mb

[quote name='Paco']You should be happy with DSL. It's a lot more stable than Cable, but the speeds are a hell of a lot lower. If I had money, I'd get that 100 mbps down but it's like 200 bucks per month. Don't have that kinda cash to burn. If I did, I'd be KOFing all day EVERY DAY[/QUOTE]

My cable speed here was just 5mb and the dsl I'm getting is 7mb. Not a whole lot of difference but long as it don't get as unstable as the cable does I wouldn't care. Oh and the dsl is 10 dollars cheaper per month. Also the upload on the dsl is way better. upload on the dsl is 1mb and on my cable its the amazing 256k.

I was at my friends house tonight testing there dsl service when I knew my cable service was sucking. The pingtest/speedtest always came back about the same. I just hope I get the same results when I have it but who knows maybe the peak hours are different for the dsl and it still tanks at different times.

I was holding off on buying a few games until I saw if the dsl was shit or not.

I know one thing that works in my favor. Almost everyone here has the cable internet. I know like 2 people with the dsl. :lol:

That's also why the cable internet is so shitty. I doubt they ever upgraded it since day one and I know of at least 50 people within a mile that has it.

They claimed they added something in the office to help with the slow speeds of the cable and for a while it seemed it helped but the past week or so of the night its back to its old self again.

The cable company told me they was getting fiber optic in 8 months. This was in March when I asked. That's what made me switch to be honest. I called today and now they said it was delayed and it would be next summer. I thought screw that. I'll get the dsl a while and switch back to cable if they ever get there fiber optic going.

I tried to get the dsl service one time before. I waited all day on them and they never showed or called. I gave up and now since I had some money I was going to give them another chance. I'm not canceling my cable internet until I see the dsl installed and working. So at least if they stand me up again or something goes wrong. I still have the cable as shitty as it is. Better than nothing I guess.

I did it at a good time. The billing cycle doesn't start for the cable until the 1st. So I have a while to cancel it if I like the dsl service. Hopefully I have the dsl in Friday. I'll abuse it over the weekend and game more than usual to see how it does.

That's the other weird part. I didn't play a game for a entire week and when I finally did of the night it was so laggy I gave up. I think that's the thing that pissed me off and made me think about getting dsl instead. The idea of my cable is you either stay up really late to use it or you use it before everyone is on it. Either way I don't think that's fair/right.
 
[quote name='blitz6speed']Paco, have you ever owned a neogeo AES machine?[/QUOTE]

Yes I have. Why do you ask? I also have a laserdisc player, a DVDO iScan HD+ Upscaler to upscale 240p to 1080p and other stupid ass equipment.

Shit man, I have the entire Star Wars trilogy on it too. They're the original theatrical releases which never came out on DVD or Blu ray. It's a tribute to the 90s. Infact I have FOUR laserdisc players.
 
I remember back when our laserdisc player got stolen and then my parents went ahead and replaced the damn thing.

Oh this brings back memories.

Er back on topic.

I PARRY THE FOOL!

To be fair, a laserdisc has better sound quality than a dvd player, has better color reproduction than a bluray player and having the chakra of doom is pretty fucking tits.

During the day... My internet is fine... The later it gets the worse it gets. Start returning terrible results so I don't regret getting rid of cable. :cool:

By 5pm its a little off. Not bad but not great. By 7pm its getting sucky. By 8-8:30 its in the land of ass until 11:30

There's only one thing that bugs me about that dsl. The ping isn't as good as the cable can get when the cable isn't sucking.

When the cable isn't sucking it never gets over 50-55ms for the results. Sometimes even pings in the 40ms. For that dsl when I tested it around the time my cable is complete ass. It always got 60ms for the results.

Its never that low of a ping except after 2am. lol

My internet is trolling me today. Its acting like its actually good. If I was to cancel getting the dsl it would turn to shit again.

I've done the pingtest over and over. Its never high. Highest was 45ms and lowest is 33ms. Something isn't right...
 
[quote name='Paco']why not try an actual ping test across the country? Don't ping inside your town man.[/QUOTE]

When its really bad even that comes back with terrible results.
 
Took the net longer than usual tonight to get crappy but here's what I'm talking about.

66912923.png


I could run it again and it would get a B. Then maybe even another B but after that it will get a C or a D at this time or even worse several times in a row.

Sometimes it losses a few packets and sometimes it losses a lot of packets. One time the Ping/Jitter was normal and it lost 8 percent of the packets which gave it a grade of F and caused insane lag spikes.

B result seems good enough. If its a C result it tends to be somewhat laggy. If its a D or F result you might as well give up for a while.

I do realize out of several test if it just happened to pop up with 1 C result and the rest was B. It really isn't that big of a deal. If you keep getting D or F it becomes a issue. When my internet completely tanked the ping to SC was 300-500ms. It kept getting a D or F grade for over 3 hours. It was just laughable when it did that. Last night and the night before was all over the place. It wasn't worth even trying to play a game on it. Tonight seems like it might be decent at this time but I'm not really in the mood to play anything.

I had a neo geo home system as a kid multiple times, but kept having to resell them due to DAT POVERTY. Check these out:

Works on PC, PS3, Android, etc. They are amazing and feel just like the real deal did, although they're a bit lighter, i might add some weights to them to make them feel 100% authentic. I thought you'd appreciate these suckers, so damn nice.
