And this next thread is 2nd place for the funniest thread ever:
"Lag Tactics and how to beat them" - posted by someone who never played offline roflmao. Your so funny Louiscipher, or should I say Alexisdabomb / Alexander?
Want to give a shout out to Aku for translating Kuroda’s article.
And Rowan, sorry couldn’t play you last time. I thought you went to grab your stick nearby but after 20 minutes or so, I had to leave for the day.
Hope to see you around again.
FC3 maybe?
Yeah for sure Anson. Went to get my stick but when I got back you were playing the h2h cab. Didn’t want to interrupt the sweetness of cpsIII. Plunked myself down for a few on the side setup but you were gone when I looked up. Nice ta meet ya. We’ll get a set next time.
Saw your potential at fc2. I expect big things at fc3. Bummer I can’t make it this time. There’s a possibility I’ll be at the event in Philly. Get your chance to repay Exo
Nice “compliation” video. Were you in such a hurry to show yet another example of you blowing yourself to the 3s community you couldn’t bother to name it something more creative, like “Hey everyone, look how great I am”?
I 100% agree with this thought exactly hahaha.
Watched less than 30 seconds into it and stopped. Didn’t another alex noob called 2nasty do this in 2009? Uploaded his “compilation” video of himself “beasting”…
I’ve given the online situation some thought lately, and thought I’d make a quick post about it.
I think a goal of the online community should be to improve the conditions 3s on PC play is played in. In the long term online play with 360 or PS3 doesn’t seem viable - servers will eventually shut down, people will stop playing the consoles altogether as next gen consoles take center stage, etc. it is definitely noticeable that 3s on Fightcade is growing, and consistently is the third most played game on Fightcade, only behind KOF 98 and 2002. So in terms of longevity PC seems like where we should invest our energy.
For this reason I think we should push for Fightcade to switch from FBA to ShmupMAME or an equivalent. if it’s just a question of getting the developer to do it, we should have those conversations. if it’s a question of manpower, we should ask who can help. if it’s a question of resources, I think we could pool some money together. I’d easily drop like $200 or whatever (within reason) if it went towards moving Fightcade to a better emulator. I’d also like to see energy invested in bringing low latency audio drivers into the picture. if I have to set an additional 4f of audio lag to make the audio work correctly then it’s definitely a problem. solutions like ASIO drivers already exist, it’s just a matter of getting them to work for us.
I think it’s definitely worthwhile to continue investigating lag and game speed differences as well. If we can isolate every individual aspect of lag added then we can make better recommendations to users on how they should be set up. I think this is more helpful than vague answers such as “maybe your computer isn’t good enough” or “well maybe your setup is weird but it works fine for me.” for instance, how much lag is added to Windows 7 or 8 vs XP? can we accurately reproduce exact arcade speed (slowdown and all) in GroovyMAME? we don’t have really good answers to these questions at the moment.
I’d love to see a robust training mode that works with ShmupMAME. you could theoretically do everything you can do in OE, plus so much more such as input display, displaying parry windows, etc. many tools like this already exist but they work for different programs, or work for laggy programs only. I don’t think it’s particularly useful to have training mode tools in an environment where you’re playing underwater. but we could definitely fix that problem.
I don’t have the technical knowledge to do any of these things, but I suspect there are people either in the 3s community or the general FG community who do. there’s also some overlapping interest here I think - moving Fightcade to ShmupMAME would not just help 3s players, it would help basically anyone who wants their game to be closer to arcade timing.
I love arcade 3s and offline play but also recognize the necessity of online play in places outside Japan. For this reason I support whatever we can do to improve the experience and make it as close to arcade as we can.
on a related note:
I also support a trend I’m seeing lately of more offline events being attended by dedicated players. I want to see either an arcade setup or a supergun setup in every local 3s community in the west. I think that’s a good goal to shoot for. The Darksoft battery-less mod makes this easier than ever. offline 3s on CPS3 is the ideal platform for the game, and between events like Gutter Trash, Fight Club, Arcade UFO tournies, Boiler Room, Hooters Cup, Rusty Parry, Summer Jam, I’m definitely impressed with the resurgence of offline 3s in the west. I hope this trend continues and we see more players going out to 3s arcade events, and broadcasting what they’re doing locally to everyone else. these can only be positive things.
I think offline 3s events have to come from 3s players. I haven’t been impressed with the track record of many majors who host 3s as a side tourney on laggy monitors and as an afterthought. we can do it better, and we should take it upon ourselves to do it.
this post was much longer than I expected it to be, apologies for rambling on.
The music tells you exactly what I think of you. It wasn’t a declaration of “how great I am” but me telling all the GGPO trolls to fuck off. Also, you challenge med, I didn’t challenge you. And I told you it was me during the 2nd match and you bitched out and ragequit. You’ve been playing for how long and still hit buttons and rely on online tricks?
And RVN can go fuck himself. It’s obviously him hiding (again) under another alt and I guarantee you that if a Mod checks “vilopod’s” IP then it’ll come up with someone in Europe/China.
I agree with Bob in regards to Shmupmame but I wouldn’t expect to see Fightcade start using it until maybe a year or two from now. I’d be really curious if that finally makes the feel like offline in an online environment.
The only person who’s ever accused me of using “online tricks” is you. Before you say oh you only play scrubs they wouldn’t know any better, I’ve played the supposed few players you “respect” and none of them have told me I play like that either. I always find it funny you hate online so much yet you keep playing on there because you supposedly have no scene blah blah blah. That must be torment to be such a 3s genius but be stuck playing on a platform with only scrubs and trolls.
All I’m going to say is that some of the dude’s you’ve played (not naming names) have said you’re an online Dudley. You can think what you want. And all I said to you was that you keep hitting buttons and doing random MGB and Launcher. Could I have been nicer about it? Maybe. But did I make personal insults and call you a scrub and this and that and all the shit? Not like how I get shittalked constantly by the GGPO Circle-Jerk. When you challenged me, I didn’t shit talk you at all, I could have kept my anonymity but I thought I’d tell ya’ just out of full disclosure. And after you ragequit you immediately shittalked me in the lobby.
Hell, I played KOH’s Dud and told him that he hits buttons too much and he didn’t flip out like you, mr. sensitive. KOH actually got better and doesn’t get rocked by HP Flash Chop like you. If you’re getting knocked by Flash Chop that many times then you’re doing it wrong.
Grow thicker skin bitch.
PS: I never, NEVER, not once have I ever said I’m the best or an expert or a genius or anything remotely like that. I’ve always said that I’m decent. But even saying that pisses off the GGPO crew so think whatever you want of me.
Notice how these guys who try to troll me either (A) just registered or (B) have an extremely low post count considering how long they’ve been here and just suddenly appeared. It’s obviously another dude who’s in on the GGPO circle jerk. I just find it funny how these dudes try to twist everything around and really have no life. Hell, I’ve seen Harmonz trolling people, constantly taunting and trolling and thinking he’s the shit. No one say’s anything about that. But if I do one taunt after winning I’m the biggest asshole.
I’ll address the screen shot nevertheless:
1: that was from -what- 3 or 4 years ago? It was when 3SOE launched.
2: I think those were aimed at Duralath and I owned up to it. I tried to do an OTT troll thing and it back fired and it wasn’t funny and I apologized for it.
3: I said “better than average” did I say I was the best? An expert? No. Seems like a semantic argument. And I know RVN or some out other phaggot is going to keep digging through ancient history because they have no life and wants to lead a crusade.
I find that hard to believe seeing as without them saying anything it’s still just your word. I don’t know who KOH is but good for him I guess. Seems like you’re the one who should grow thicker skin if you feel the need to make some pathetic video saying fuck you to everyone you hate on Fightcade. Thanks for being a waste of time as usual Louiscipher or Alexisdabomb or whatever you call yourself now before you inevitably get banned again and pick another name.
