[quote name='jimfoley16']There's a driver patch out there on SRK that fixes this problem.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure if its the same patch but when I had the DOA4 stick I used the XBCD drivers instead of the standard Microsoft ones. Everything worked much better for MAME etc etc. I got my Hori stick today and its sitting on my desk here at work. I might try to hook it up to the PC but I might not even bother since I now have a Saturn USB pad...which was completely plug and play. I really wish I could find a few more of those to buy. It's sweet.
 
[quote name='jkam']Does anyone here make their own sticks? I saw this thread http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/03/best-diy-arcade-stick-evar-its-wireless/
and it kind of makes me either want to start trying to build my own or find someone who could make me something like that! Pretty sweet....especially since its wireless.[/QUOTE]


yeah, well ever since the DoA4 stick was announced I assumed it'd be wireless... why they hell not? My only guess is Microsoft being hardware asshats.
 
:lol: finally a fat character :)

poor bob

supposedly he's canadian... don't know if canadians will be happy with him representing their country...


all the backstories people have posted so far are fucking crazy cool... cool because of all the WTF stuff.
 
updated sig...

for some reason I can't get off my mind that it's just jin in a fatsuet/costume... mainly because of Bob's pose...

I hope it's a new fighting style... in all honesty, out of the 3 new characters, this is the best design and will probably be better once we ses his style.

Bob’s Tekken 6 profile

After losing three consecutive times to Takeru Kobayashi, Bob, a former Canadian Mountie, slipped into a funk, pushing away the support of his friends and family little by little with his new crutch, brewski.

Bob became a regular at a local bar, drinking night after night in a private booth, and no matter how many drinks he downed, he never seemed to get inebriated. It wasn’t long before other patrons and the bartender asked him to participate in the regional beer drinking competition. Though a little reluctant at first, Bob participated and won. Becoming an overnight sensation, Bob finally felt complete, finding the fame he once sought as a Mountie and a Hot Dog Eating Champion.

Bob’s life changed forever while he was in the middle of beer drinking tournament south of the border—members of a military group, calling themselves the Tekken Force, seized the building, putting down anyone who dared to stop them. Armed with a pitcher of beer in one and a closed fist, Bob joined the battle. With each punch thrown and each kick blocked, Bob’s training as a Mountie came back in a swift rush of excitement.

When the battle had nearly ended, only Bob and one Tekken Force member remained. Their tango was brief, and when it was over, Bob stood victorious, but not before learning the name of the man responsible: Jin Kazama.

The announcement of Jin’s 6th King of Iron Fist Tournament soon found Bob’s ears. With thoughts of fame and revenge on his mind, Bob set out to win the tournament and avenge his fans.




^ I hope that's the story they use, because it KICKS ASS. :lol:
 
[quote name='MarkMan']He's supposed to be fast, I gotta see this lol...[/QUOTE]


:lol: I hope it's true he's the only guy with 2 frame jabs :lol:


I think Xiaoyu has someone with better frames than her now :)

also, I hope there's a slim version for his P2 costume since it would make sense that he looked alot different based on the official storyline.

I'd love to make a stick like that. I've made one to date, and it's nowhere near as professional. Mine is just a wooden box with a stick and buttons. I used Canadian Poplar, stained it with a dark cherry stain, and put a high gloss finish on it. I prefer the bat style stick, so I bought some Happ parts and wired them to an original PS controller that I bought at EB Games used for 99 cents. It's 18"x5"x11", so it's fairly large. With all of my adapters, it's the best stick I have for PS2, PS3, Xbox, GC, PC, and DC. But I'd love to have a wireless one for my 360 and PC.

Maybe I'll sacrifice my wireless controller for it. . .
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']They seriously have to be kidding me with this Bob character.[/QUOTE]

No way Jim. Fat is where it's at.

1) Nice FOTNS

2) Bob is stupid. He just looks retarded. Then again, I don't like most people who look distinctly like southerners. Or fat people.
 
best joke character ever hands down.


that's what I would imagine Kurtis Stryker to look like these days.
 
Random question.

I have some imports I want to get rid of, so I'll be giving them out. Do any of the FG regulars want any of the following:

-Dead Or Alive 2 (DC/Non-Import)
-Guilty Gear X (DC/Import w/ Spine Card)
-King of Fighters 99': Evolution (DC/Import w/ Spine Card)
-Puyo Puyo Sun (Saturn/Import)
-Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 (PS2/Import/Non-Best Edition)
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']can I run KoF 99 on DC with a boot disc? if so, I may take it, though I don't need it.[/QUOTE]

Yup. I used the Action Replay Demo that was in the UK to play all my import DC games.

To anyone who wants the games, I won't ship them out until next week (around Wednesday) before I help my girlfriend move into her new apartment.

So now KOF99 is on hold for Rolento. Be sure to PM me your name/address to where you want it sent Rolento.

actually, hold these off... they may be good prizes for a Tekken online tourney.

nice!


ooookay. that needs to be a joke character. One of my best friends ever is that large (or was) and he could MAYBE throw one punch... then he'd be pwned. So... extremely stupid character for a fighting game.
Click to expand...

yeah, I mean, if this guy's "friend" is that fat and he could get his ass kicked, then that means that all people that large would react the exact way.

Looks good. They need to get rid of those gay hit sparks already, talking bout the one in the first pic.

Agreed. I hate hit sparks that like to have sex with hit sparks of the same gender.

I had some of that last weekend at a basement pop-punk show. Not that bad, then again it tastes like it doesn't have any alcohol in it period.

Someone I met there mentioned something about Sparks Black. What's the difference between that and the regular + sugar-free kind?

Also good idea Rolento. I'll keep all the games for the T5DR Online tournament, whenever it happens. I'll throw in a handful of Nintendo 64 games into the prize pool onto of all the import fighters.

Hey hey, you should sell the 64 games to me :)

And regular and sugar-free Sparks are 7%, while Sparks Plus (the black one) is 8%. Other than that there is no difference, except that Sparks Plus tastes the slightest bit more "alchoholey".

I think my first exposure to Sparks was also at a show in Philly.
 
Oh god, Sparks. We drink a lot of that and then roid out.
This wins. Street Fighter 2 on the Commodore 64. You know it's street fighter, cause it says so on the top of the screen.

Pay attention at the 50 second mark, E. Honda does something awesome.

I'm not entirely sure how to embed that.
 
vodka + redbull = my face turns purple.


see, red would be like the typical asian glow, which i get. but combine with red bull, and it's... purple. -_-;

Not sure if it's anything you'd want.

Complete copies of:
-WWF No Mercy, Wrestlemania 2000, Perfect Dark

Cart-only copies of:
-Pokemon Puzzle League, Starfox 64

If worse comes to worse, the top 3 winners in the CAG Tekken Tourney are gonna get a shitload of great prizes.
 
I just a got a Japanese PS2. I just pre ordered Arcana Heart from Play Asia and won Neo Geo Battle Colliseum off Ebay. So my question to you guys is....are there any other Import fighters i should be looking at? any reccomendations?
 
Hokuto no Ken is sweet, but it's $65 from Play Asia, so it's a tad pricey. Pure fun without a lot of balance

I personally recommend the Last Blade 2 in 1 for $20 from PA. Also Vampire Darkstalkers Collection for $20.

King of Fighters XI is coming out here on Oct. 4th for $20, barring any delays, but the European version has some bugs that hopefully won't end up in the US version. Japanese version is $35 at PA.

Melty Blood Act Cadenza is fun, but it's $60 at PA. Plays really well and you can come up with some sweet combos easily.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is coming stateside for $30 soon, but I don't know if they are fixing the high-level bugs that are in it. I prefer GGXX Slash, which PA has for $30. Also, I like playing as Justice, and he's not in Accent Core.

Garou Mark of the Wolves is ESSENTIAL, especially for $20 from PA. IMO the most balanced SNK fighter ever.

I recommend all of these. The pros here will probably hook you up with more info than I know.
 
The JP PS2 has all the neat SNK compilations. KoF 95-97, KoF 99-01, hopefully eventually a Samurai Shodown one... But again, a bunch of those are probably US-bound.

yeah i was thinking about melty blood and Fist of the North Star. I have melty blooc RE Act for the PC and it was good. I may wait for some coupon promotion pa maybe having to order those titles.

wow i didnt see Fatal Fury or Last Blade at that price. i may be sold on those immediatley. Thanks for recommendatioins.
 
integralsmatic - Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves at 20 dollars is an absolute must. Last Blade 2 in 1 is solid, but I'm not CRAZY about the Last Blade games. They sure look nice, and they play good enough, but to me they just don't have the competitive edge that other games have. I don't know if you already have MvC2, but if not, you should be able to get an import version for pretty cheap.

I personally really like Neogeo B.C. and KoF XI as well, but you probably might as well wait for the US versions.
 
Garou doesn't seem particularly likely to get a US release either... so it's a safe bet to import that one. And yeah, I'll echo what other people have said about it -- it's frickin' great.
 
So are you fighting thread ghangstas going to be picking up Fatal Fury for XBLA? If ya'll are, then I'll pick it up as well coz competition is fun.
 
I have the DC version of Garou (normal US version, I don't think it's actually called "Garou" except on the in-game title screen). Any serious flaws in that version that would cripple the game for the casual player?

I never got around to playing it much, but the praise it gets showered with among the Fighter regulars makes me want to bust it out again. What's the best way to approach this in a single player mode? Any unlockables?

Oh and this is the game that has a guy named "Butt" in it, right?
 
Decided not to pick up any more XBLA titles until after I upgrade the 360. Too bad as I have $80 worth of points from teh CC deal that's begging for some Super Puzzle Fighter II HD and SPFIIHD gamer pics. :p

Edit: BTW, is anybody picking up SPFIIHD for PS3? I don't mind doubledipping it (well actually it would be sort of triple-dipping because I have the original version for Saturn import) since the MS points were so cheap.
 
[quote name='Chacrana']So are you fighting thread ghangstas going to be picking up Fatal Fury for XBLA? If ya'll are, then I'll pick it up as well coz competition is fun.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I'm gonna pick it up I think, unless the port is fucked up somehow.

I'd start out learning one of the new characters, so that as you learn your character you learn the game. I find that people that start with Terry (or even Rock, after playing him in CvS2) never really bother to learn any of the other characters. I find alot of people play as Butt (yes, that's his name :)) because he plays like Ryo. I'd recommend trying to learn one of the original characters. They're all pretty cool, with the exception of perhaps that little monkey kid (I can't remember his name).

I'm not. I finally got back onto Live earlier today, and I bought it for 360. Not gonna bother wasting the money on the PS3 version.
 
Kushwood Butt is really cool. I used to play as Ryo in KOF, so I felt right at home playing as him. My favorite of the characters new to Garou though was probably Gato. He plays differently enough from the Fatal Fury staples, and he's fun to at least try out.
 
T5DR is out, lineup to get destroyed...

If anyone wants to an online matchmaking chat... go to #sdtekken on efnet servers via irc... see you there!
