[quote name='Jimbo Slice']Where did you find new springs for a TE? I couldn't find any on Lizard Lick.[/QUOTE]
Jimbo,
If you're looking to tighten up the spring in your JLF you can try taking it out and stretching it. If nothing else, it'll make the stick a little stiffer until LizardLick gets them back in-stock.
I also did a mod a while back with a spring from Home Depot that I read about on SRK. They have this pack of 48 springs for pretty cheap but unfortunately you only get like 3-4 (of the same kind) that are usable in a JLF. I used one of those and a JLF spring and it's not bad, but was a little too stiff for what I prefer. I've gone back to the stock spring.

The only acceptable reason to hate biscuits is if you are somehow deathly allergic to them. And even then...so worth it.

I ended up ordering a Seimitsu LS-32 spring. It was only like a dollar and I was ordering new buttons anyway so at least it will be cheap and I will get to see if I like it or not. If I can't get down with it, I'll be sure to ask for more details on the Home Depot thing. I really like some resistance on my stick.

[/QUOTE]
Depends on who you ask.
A good amount of my friends who play would say yes.
For me, I'm sort of in the middle of the road. The game is definitely fun, but there are some issues that need to be addressed/patched.
One of my main gripes of the gameplay is how meter works/meter management. What makes that worse is the "First Hit" Bonus that this game gives you. Whoever scores the first hit when the rounds starts gets an automatic 1 bar of meter. Which means there are a lot of times where you are down maybe 65% to 90-95% and the other person has X-Ray maybe 10-15 seconds into the match. This makes it more of an uphill battle to comeback, since the opponent already has a sizable lead and they have a braindead way of landing a 35-40% X-Ray on you to finish out the match. With some characters having a lead and a X-Ray fully loaded means jumping/teleporting is no longer an option (Ex. Cyrax, Kung Lao)
I had the above happen so many times when I sessioned on Monday with a couple of my friends. I got hit once against Sub-Zero (giving him the 1 bar boost), then trying to find a way around Specials (which build meter on their own blocked/unblocked), when I finally get in my friend already has an X-Ray loaded. It was pretty annoying.
With many other FGs you either have Super, Ultra or whatever because you've either:
A) Saved the meter (after you've worked to earn it)
B) (In the case of SFIV): Getting your ass whooped so you get Ultra
MK9 just feels to me that there are too many opportunities where the game GIVES you meter for really nothing. I know at first NeatherRealm wanted to distinguish itself from say Capcom games on how you build meter to avoid Turtling or building too much meter via Rushdown. But it sort of fails when you can land a first hit (bonus) and throw out specials (for zoning characters this will happen) and build meter so fast.
Although it's random, don't let me get into the "Dan Toasty" meter boost that happens in the game. So random!

Damn, I was thinking about stopping by this tournament this weekend to mop up these nerds and then I read the tournament rules and prizes
http://tsgaming.forummotion.com/t15-tmg-2011-spring-marvel-vs-capcom-3-tournament-rules
60 second time limit. ಠ_ಠ
"Final 4 get no Second Chances/Play for Keeps" I have no idea what this means, honestly I have no clue If you continue on it says this "IMPORTANT: Those who make it to the Final Bracket, Have No Second Chance. Once you are there, you fight for keeps. Final Bracket is the Winner's Bracket, Prizes are Guaranteed."
Entry Fee: $10 Prizes: First - Wireless Tekken 6 Arcade Stick (PS3) Second - Wired Street Fighter 4 Arcade Stick (PS3). The cost of entry to prize ration is ridiculously horrible.
"Repeated use of Cheap-Shots (Same move over and over again) may result in a default loss (Debatable)" DA
?
I actually bothered to send the guy and email basically saying "WTF is this shit?".

The worst is when they say to not hold back but you say they wont like the game if you go all out. Then they say that won't happen... then it happens.

It's funny when you just sit back and let them tucker themselves out and punish all the stupid stuff. The best part is the reaction is usually "WHAT THE, YOU JUST BLOCK THE ENTIRE TIME."
