I noticed that in a close race to that last position in an exchange there is a moment where you can press your button and expect a certain level of “priority” out of your special moves. One of the common ones would be that moment where you’ve set up a perfect oki grab situation and your button presses will kind of act like an option select. Well, it’s there that regular uppercuts won’t work all the time and those EX versions come into play. Offline those EXs are prioritized both in manner and in the hardware. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one of those for the EX tatsu other than jump and immediately EX tatsu. Other than that, you won’t get much help from the machine itself so you want to play trebuchet with the attacks and give yourself that wind up.
Of course, you could just not listen. There is only one player that has never needed to be told that. Actually, make that two now.
Has anyone successfully set up fightcade on Winows 8.1? I downloaded it the other day and played a few matches but everything was underwater, completely unplayable. I was playing people with pings that should have produced playable matches. Tried all the different blitters, turned off whatever I could, still garbage. This is with the same tv and stick I play OE with, which is fine.
I played this Japanese guy in a long set where he was clearly able to do everything he wanted to, meanwhile I couldn’t even complete a combo or parry.
windows 8 has desktop management (AERO) always on. you cannot turn it off. this ensures that v-sync is also on, which adds several frames of visual delay to everything. you’d need to set another partition with windows 7 or below…
My intention isn’t to start a is GGPO better than OE debate. If you guys enjoy ggpo good for you. I do want to say though that every japanese player who is anyone and plays at arcades I’ve met play on OE.
Good luck setting up your PC and such to previous and future posters.
there’s very little question that as a whole, OE post-patch runs better than PC emulation. but you shouldn’t disregard GGPO assuming you are able to get it to a playable level. assuming the proper conditions, GGPO performs just as well as OE, without all the bugs that OE has. the player base is also mostly unique from OE, with many strong players. if you can do both, definitely do both.
i get why you have a distaste for GGPO yuuki, but it’s selfish and asshole-ish of you to continue your anti GGPO brigade, since it doesn’t benefit you in any way, but harms the GGPO community into not getting new blood.
-you played on GGPO for 4+ years, so why not encourage others to make their own judgments?
-you have openly expressed hate for online as a whole, for YEARS, so why are you showing preferential treatment now?
-the GGPO trolls are toxic, but so are OE. if you match-make against people you know, then it’s not going to be a bad experience on either platform. GGPO lobby can either help you or hurt you, it’s up to the user.
my bottom line is that people shouldn’t dismiss either platforms. they should give both platforms a chance, see what they’re comfortable with, and continue to promote 3S through such efforts. as it stands, you’re dividing a community for personal reasons.
The fact that high level Japanese players use OE doesn’t really do anything for me, it’s not like I’m going to play them. Furthermore, because they play OE, I don’t necessarily think that says OE is better than GGPO.
OE is definitely easier to approach, and in Japan, where console gaming is much bigger than PC gaming, it makes sense that they play OE.
It’s not hard to set up GGPO, but if you have a shitty computer, or are just computer illiterate, OE is a better option.
It’s apples and oranges to something that honestly sucks on whatever platform you choose. shrug
For anybody trying out fightcade I would suggest trying direct challenges opposed to the regular ones. It seems like using the direct challenge decreases crashes (no chat so no chat related crashes atleast). Also when you use the direct challenge people cant spec so no speclag either. To directly challenge someone both of the players need to type /direct playername in the lobby chat.
The advantage of playing OE is you know both players are running the game on the same hardware.
As someone who admittedly has a shitty computer, but still plays on Fightcade, there are some cool people there, but it’s impossible for me to learn anything or know who’s skilled or not on it due to how badly it runs for me. In that sense, it’s pointless.
If you have a set up that runs Fightcade as optimal as possible, there’s no reason not to play it, but it’s honestly not worth the struggle to try and make it work when your set up won’t run it well.
Also, way less international crowd on OE, so there’s one major difference. There are plenty of people from all over the world who don’t seem to mind playing on a pretty wonky connection, which might be a statement overall about how they approach Fightcade, but there are some people who are worth getting to know and are understanding of the variance of how Fightcade performs from computer to computer.
I will say this much though; in environments where the set up and connections aren’t steady/optimal, there seems to be way more arguing and raging than in situations where the game runs as smoothly as can be expected from online. Lag and delay are definitely factors in people’s behavior.
The same “dog shit” that you have been playing for 7 years? Lol that’s funny because I heard you pretend to play offline but actually never played offline. You are not even in a position to compare “online 3S” to offline 3S. Araider plays offline, unlike you.
You know what’s more hilarious? A scrub like you caring so much about his e-reputation on a 3s forum of like 12 people.
