Getting it for both systems. While I prefer to get it on the PSN, it seems like most people are getting it on the 360... so I think I'll just cave and get both.
 
[quote name='JEKKI']I dont think I'm talking about the Feint cancel... take Hotaru for example, I can do qcb+k and input like 2 buttons (forget what they were) and she'll go back into a neutral state instead of going into recovery animation.[/quote]
You must be referring to braking. Every character has at least one, i.e. rock has a brake for his 360 throw. But those are usually for one move, and it's not that complicated. On the PS2 version, all you have to do is press one button if you want. Again, these aren't frame critical.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Again, PS3 for me. Ain't using that busted ass Dpad more than I have to.

Maybe 360 also when I get that SFIV stick.[/quote]


c'mon 360. who are you going to play against? mana knight? :lol:
 
Does anybody know offhand what the GameStop trade-in value on a Hori EX2 stick for the Xbox 360 is? I'm really not that happy with it. I'm seriously thinking about trading it in towards one of the Mad Catz SFIV sticks.

I'll school him for sure. :cool:

I have like 1050 MS points. So I might hop on the 360 version too. I just HATE the 360 Dpad.

CML ;) GS had them for 40 bucks or less. You probably won't get much for it.

Check My List,, AKA Look at my trade list for that stick. I don't have much good on there, so it was kinda in jest. But feel free to look.

The last I checked, GS doesn't even take arcade sticks for trade in.

Man, I've been playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper (Alpha 3 port for GBA) on my micro while at work and it's such a great port. Looks good, has the full 30+ character roster and plays incredibly well.

Double Crap!

Maybe I just have to spend some more time with the EX2 to get used to it.

hankmecrankme can always play against me. I'll be picking up both, so it's all good.

Nice. You can beat me down like you do on GGPO. :)
 
I'd consider modding it, but I'd rather put the cash towards the SFIV stick instead. Besides, the last time I took apart a controller it took me a whole afternoon to put it back together.:lol:
 
You can do a few mods on the ex2/fs3 that are pretty cheap and help alot.

I did this bat top and oct gate mod (yeah yeah square blah blah!) and it cost under 10 dollars with shipping included for the parts.

You can change the buttons pretty easily too I think, but the stick is the biggest problem with modding (although I think one of the seimitsu sticks fits init or something)

Well, I won't be able to noogie trap you anymore, so that'll force me to play more keep away Sim, but then again, Claw can't keep doing wall dives after a knockdown either. It should be a different experience with rebalanced mode.
 
$10 is a heck of a lot better than I thought it would be. How much soldering would be involved? I'm open to the idea as long as I can't permanently damage the stick if i make a mistake.

You think Upper is good? Give Double Upper a try... a.k.a. Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX here in the States. It's only out on PSP (wtf?) if there's ever a game that needed either a direct conversion to XBL or the HD treatment, it's that game...

Yeah I have MAX for PSP, but I hardly carry my PSP around with me. And when I'm playing a Street Fighter at home, it's 3S.

The Hori next gen sticks aren't that bad. They're perfectly playable and you get what you pay for. Now the Mayflash, that's seriously bad, only good for modding. If I had one complaint about the Hori EX2 or Fighting Stick 3, it would be the staggering of the buttons, it promotes my wrists to be angled outward, which isn't exactly comfortable in my opinion. I'd prefer the buttons to be straight up and down or staggered the opposite direction.
 
I want the 360 version of HD Remix so much, but without a playable controller why do I want to spend $15 to stare at the screen??

anyway, I went to the arcade today!!

I was sitting outside eating a burrito and these korean kids were like "hey are u 21? can you buy us sum alcohol" and I'm like freakin koreans and their underage drunks...

I also got sum wins on Guilty Gear, but I lost to Johnny who for sum reason is always a real tough matchup for me and I cant figure out why... so instead of putting another quarter in I went and walked away and started talking to sum guy... then this other guy comes out of nowhere and is like "yeay! I beat that guy!" and the guy I was talking to was like "you mean this guy? He was the one using Axl" and I'm like lol.

I also tried to play SF4, but when I played I was totally playing Guilty Gear instead... I was trying to long range poke and do charge moves with Ryu until I realized oh shyt I needa throw fireballs wtf am I doing?!?!

o yeay! and BlazBlue! it's awesome!! I'll post my impressions in the thread on GAF if u wanna see what I thought and how it felt to me, but I'll definitely be going back soon for more!

CRIPZ

I wish there was a good converter/available one for 360 so we can use PS1/PS2 arcade sticks.[/quote]

Don't forget USB Keyboards! :bouncy:

Vewlix VS.... That's hot.
 
I bet those pretty cabinets cost a pretty penny.


@SL4IN - How is the Game Boy Micro?

I agree with hank. $3600 (does that even include tax or shipping?) can get you a 50" LCD, Surround sound, a PS3, and two custom sticks. Wouldn't that be better?

Yes, it would be better. Infinitely. You don't have the appeal of an arcade cab, but it's prolly more fun to be a fuckin' bum and lay on the couch and just like spaz out playing games for 8 hours straight. Or something. And the hardware you'd get would almost unquestionably be better.
 
3600 shipped usually. And yea, the key thing missing though is arcade experience. You can't really get that from the couch. I know it sounds odd. But there is something about sitting down in front of an arcade machine and playing on a panel that doesn't move that makes a game feel 'better'...

Maybe better isn't the right word, unique probably is.

Either way. If I got a Vewlix VS, I'd put that shit in the center of my dining room.
 
Yeah, the idea of having the arcade experience is cool, though personally, I wouldn't say it's like $3600 cool. You should totally get one of these, though, MM. Just sell some of your 12,000 arcade sticks and you'll be able to afford a Vs. in no time!
 
[quote name='Jest']Looks cool and all but I would rather be standing beside someone for a truer arcade experience.[/QUOTE]

I'd rather just rest an alcoholic beverage where the other person would be playing.
 
I like side by side. But I'd need a lot bigger of a cabinet for that... I have two arcade cabinets now, an American dedicated Tekken 2 cabinet (TTT inside), and its comfortable when 2 ppl are playing next to each other.

But on smaller/sit down arcade cabs like the Japanese candy cabs, I would really kill for the VS setup. Back to back is awesome. That's the standard for Japanese arcades... You'll see back to back more often than side by side over there and in other asian countries.

I just got a promotion and big pay increase. But I'm not hurtin that bad for the Vewlix VS yet.

Maybe when SF4 and Tekken 6 come out.

Who needs a new car?!
 
What the hell happened to this site? Everyone thinks everything sucks. Hell, Capcom dropped the trifecta of an updated SFII, a brand new SF, and a re-release of MvC2 and people are still bitching.
 
It just seems every thread is dripping with negativity lately. It must be the stress from the economy or something. I stopped going into the vs forums because it just turns into an edick contest. The SFII Remix is just a flash game or it's too expensive. The Wii sucks. The 360 sucks. The PS3 sucks. Everything sucks lately.

EDIT -- This is the only thread full of people that seem to actually enjoy life instead of living to suck it out of anyone that might like something that's casual or new.
 
The vs forum was always like that. I'm psyched for SFHD but bummed because I can't buy it using Gamestop credit. I like my Wii and my PS3. I'm pissed that my 360 finally red ringed. I'm stressed out because reentering the Marine Corps after I get my bachelor's is turning into a huge headache.
 
Being in the Marines would bum me out in general but it's cool that you're trying to get your commission. I did my four years and I got the fuck out.
