oh, and Markman or kainzero, how do u escape throws in Tekken?? I kno u push the punch button that corresponds to the throw your opponent (which I have absolutely no idea how the timing works), but I saw A LOT of ppl succeeding at throw escapes. during the tourney. I wonder if there's a trick to it, or if they are just extremely good and lucky at guessing[/QUOTE]

The general rule is... (although there are very few exceptions)

Left hand leading = 1 break
Right hand leading = 2 break
Both hands extending = 1+2 break

Of course 1+2 break throws are usually command throws not the basic 1+3 or 2+4 throws, but most of the time the animation is unique and easier to associate as a double break throw.

Example... Julia's mad axes throw.

The best way to practice it I guess is get accustomed to throws... go to command training and set the CPU controlled opponent to do 3 different throws, each with different breaks... I advise you to use Paul and these throws:

1+3
2+4
f,f+1+2

Now even if you don't break them every time, if you can at least tell what throw it was or know your mistakes, then that is half the battle. :)
 
Speakin of Fist of the North Star... a friend of mine caved in and bought the arcade game sometime last year and he absolutely loved it... the game really has top notch presentation/eyecandy factor.

I wonder if there's a trick to it, or if they are just extremely good and lucky at guessing[/quote] yeah, you just press the opposite punch button. like if the opponent's left arm sticks out, you press your left punch. same with the right arm. if they both look like they're equally extended, press both punches. throw-centric characters like king, their throws are sometimes trickier to see, plus the escape window is smaller. the throw window begins right after the throw connects.

it's a lot of reflex and you need to train it a lot. it's tough, i can do it like 100% in practice mode but probably like 25% (if that) in real matches. and that was in my "prime," i haven't really played in a long time. real good players break a lot of throws though, it's a pretty essential skill.

you can sorta fuzzy guard throw escape, but not really. like if i see a move where the right arm extends, and i can't tell if it's a throw or not, i hit the punch button regardless after it "hits." if it's a regular move, it's blocked and your input won't go through because you're still in block-stun. if it's a throw and you guessed right on the throw input, you'll escape.
 
Thanks for the FOTNS vids Chacrana and Markman. I remember checking YouTube maybe last month or more for FOTNS match vids, no one had any up. Now I'm noticing this one guy has a crapton uploaded.

The game might be something I pick up down the line. I STILL haven't bought KOF XI, so I want to spend $65 on that first. Also I quit my cruddy video game retail job on the 9th, so I've been trying to be better with money right now.

KOF XI is on the top of my list. Here's my wishlist so far:

KOF XI
Garou Densetsu: Battle Archives Vol. 2
Samurai Showdown Tenka
Fist of the North - possibly, I'll check it out in the arcades first
Rumble Fish - If I can find it cheap enough, I'm not gonna drop more than $30 for this game.

I can confirm that your top 3 are all fantastic. KOF XI... obviously. I raved about that thing for months. Still love the game. Garou Battle Archives 2 -- seemingly perfect ports of the games... most importantly, they've aged really well. Real Bout 2 is still really enjoyable. I opened up Samsho Tenka yesterday and it ended up being much, much, much better than I expected. It just feels... different from SNK's other fighters. It's very well paced, has a shitload of characters, and the fighting mechanics just feel really good.
 
I just played a hell out a lot of Tekken 5 this weekend. After being disappointed with both the last two previous installments of the series (Tag and 4) I can say that this is the best entry since 3. Although I have to say, Tekken 3 is still the best Tekken ;)

How do you unlock the bonus game in Tekken Arcade History?
 
what the escape window like on a throw in Dark Resurrection? like as soon as you see that red burst?

/could never break throws in Tekken
//can't get over the fact that Tekken DR is right there on my HD :D
 
ah~! Thanks Mark & Kain.

Tekken players must have good eyes, unlike me...

my SF play is all guesswork, that's why i lose a lot.

I gotta work on my reflex.

btw, lexan is a BITCH to cut~!! I was up til 1:30am last nite trying to make me a rectangle, but the break came out jaggy. Now I've wasted a good portion of the stuff as well as good sleeping time :( I gotta get me a clamp now so I can secure a straight edge

I have Real Bout Special for Saturn and feel like I'd rather play that than Alpha 3.

As far as I can remeber they took out the 2nd plane for Real Bout 2, which is good, cause side-steping to the 2nd plane was what I hated the most about the Fatal Fury series. It broke up the action in gameplay and had no meaning.

I always thought Rick was a cool character. His play style remind me of Vanessa in KOF.

[/QUOTE]


anyone know?
 
It depends on each throw... basic throws is probably like 10 frame window.

I'll look up the exact numbers later. I think it is 10 frames though.

Also www.sdtekken.com !

There's a convertor that lets you use PS2 controllers for PS2 games being played on PS3!
 
Mortal Kombat II for the PSN seems to be coming along well... online play is being tested right now... the latency is good.

Should be out within a month's time.
 
so can anyone post (out of random uselessness and the pick Markman posted) animations that come off as sexual or odd in fighters...

the easiest that comes to mind is Dan's crouching taunt while being close next to sagat.
 
Jim, I'm still in the process of thinking over the hotel thing... I'm planning on going, but it mainly depends on if I'll have cash before then to get some tickets. I most likely will though since I'm getting a small raise after going from Walgreens to CVS.

Holla!

Maybe I should jump ship haha.

But yeah I still need to get the $ myself so I'll let you know how that goes, I didn't really have plans to buy this laptop but I think I should be good.
 
I picked these up today at Five Below

I got the Ryu vs Akuma, Chun-Li vs M.Bison and Demitri vs Morrigan sets. They were 2.50 each. They're pretty sweet
 
[quote name='ValkyrieVF-1S']I just bought the a ps->usb controller converter from radioshack. I was wondering if anyone has bought one and had any problems using it.[/QUOTE]

no problems on my end. and I've had it for well over 2 years now. I've actually destroyed my SF controller because of sfa3 online.
 
Thanks for the input gigan.

I just tested my street fighter pad, and it seems to work okay. I will try out my tekken and street fighter stick later on.

What the fucking shit does this mean?[/QUOTE]


Nothing. Literally. I just threw it together for the heck of it.

You should know better... it's me you're talking about anyway ;)

Oh Re-Ro, you sooooooo cray-zay
 
Spent the last day re-playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night....

Has it really been ten years since I first played this? Wow... great game... breezed through it way too fast though :/

EVO2007 World Finals in Las Vegas, NV!

Are you guys going to stay at the resort where EVO is being held? Green Vally Ranch Resort... thats where I'm staying...
 
Sorry my room is already gonna be packed...

I'll be staying in Vegas about a week... along with anywhere between 15-25 SDTEKKEN ppl. :)
 
I want to get Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Y'know, the arcade game. It's never going to be on a compilation due to the ridiculous amount of licensing that would come into play. So... anyone know how much it would cost me and where I could get the arcade board?
 
Chacrana - I tend to get suspicious stares when I read your posts at work. All thanks to your avatar. People think I'm looking at porn 8-[
 
It's not too bad if you have ppl to shack up with... the EVO discount rate is $149.99 a night... sure you can find cheaper rates at other hotels/smaller motels... but nothing beats waking up and walking downstairs to start playin...

I hand pick all my avatars. Imagine the looks I get all the time.
 
happy 2 month anniversary to me and tekken!!

I won DR psp off ebay on Jan 22 and have learned me the game somewhat well!!

I will celebrate by getting at least one win at saturday's ranbat!!

in the meantime, my mom bought paint yesterday, the same day I bought primer.

what a coincidence~~!

I did a practice job on the box I made over the weekend:



I already bought Happ parts the other day to make a different stick, but the green paint job changes everything!!

I'ma hafta put that stick on hold and put them on this new one instead
 
I just played "Sonic the Fighters" on my "Sonic the Gems Collection." What a piece of *expletive!!!* Anyone else play this? No wonder it never recived a console port.

I guess it was good enough for Bean and Bark to be included in Fighters Megamix.
 
Markman have u ever ordered parts from ponyboy before??

I could get 16 buttons and 2 joysticks for under $80 which is a good price, and his customer feedback is great as well.

but that price is before shipping, if u got experience with him would u happen to know if the shipping charges are the killer???
 
[quote name='Rodimus Donut']Chacrana - I tend to get suspicious stares when I read your posts at work. All thanks to your avatar. People think I'm looking at porn 8-[[/quote]

Word. I always have to speed past his posts or everyone will think I'm a bigger perv than I already am........:lol:
 
[quote name='MarkMan']Shipping isn't that bad, I've ordered from him before as well... he's located in the US too so thats a + ![/QUOTE]ok so why would u choose the real neo geo over ponyboy??

I would think the main reason is variety,

altho the fact that u just like buying from different people is a possibility as well.

good people always deserve good business!!
 
Between the sheer number of comments I'm getting and the number of PMs I've gotten asking where my avatar's from, I will simply have to find something new.

ponyboy doesn't carry seimitsu parts... most of the parts I got were seimitsu :/


I did order sanwa sticks/buttons from him for my sega astro city cabinet. :)
