Best Ultimate Tech Talk Hang Out Loud Edition Season V

I’m trying to stay out of that thread. Legitimate or not, it’s just a FUD shitstorm waiting to happen, because people just refuse to admit they suck.

But I heard that some fingers lag more than others! What fingers should I be looking for when I buy new ones?

Now people will blame their losses on their TE. Sweet.

Do you think that the “lag” is caused by the strange setup?

No gootechs did not throw my stick. lol.

Should I just replace the joystick or take it out and send it madcatz for replacing. One annoying thing about living in canada 0_o

My only guess is that the lag from the TE is from the strange set-up… Who knows? I’m just thinking it’s a wild goose chase and people trolling. >.>

If it’s still under warranty you would want to contact them before you do anything. Cannot emphasize that enough.

Eh. Honestly, blaming your PCB for lag? Because I don’t care about watching the whole video, I honestly don’t know how much lag they’re claiming. A frame or two? Just like anyone who uses a converter set-up? Seriously, when you get used to a certain amount of lag, it doesn’t matter when the amount is so insignificant as a frame or two. When I played some old puzzlers with a recording set-up, yes, there was a lot more lag than I was used to, but after a bit, I had adjusted to it to time it for those frames.

Or, you know, Toodles could make a 360 PCB better than both. Bahaha.

Robot Devil. But I hear he charges an arm and a leg.

Yeah, the last thing this forum needs are TE = lag trolls.

I wonder if there was an efficient way to integrate a small mp3 player into my hori ex2 shell. I have a nice spot in the bottom where the 360 headphone jack used to be… n_n

Wonder if I can wire up a AAA-battery powered player to the 3.3v power source from usb? >_>

You’d be surprised. I’ve seen people complain about specific buttons giving them “lag”, a proven (by both manufacturer specs, as well as the community) monitor to give them “lag”. People will always find something to bitch about.

Not to throw fuel on the fire, but the Japanese arcade stick community has completely convinced themselves that HRAP VXes (and Fighting Stick VXes, same PCB) are a frame or two faster than TEs. Stems from one guy doing a set of tests (admittedly extensive) on PC and 360.

I would like to see someone independently reproduce his tests so we have a sure answer one way or another.

I, too would like to see these tests re-produced, because not to sound like a dick, or racist- but there is a pretty vocal set of Japanese internet goers who are very xenophobic, and I could entirely see them taking the piss out of this entire situation because Hori is Japanese, and Madcatz isn’t from their sacred isle.

Indeed. Xenophobia is undoubtedly a huge component. You would not believe the race-tinged flame wars that go down daily between MadCatz and HORI supporters on 2ch… :rofl:

Oh, no. I do know all about those flame wars.
I start some of them to watch them flip shit.

HAH! Seriously?! I love to play with 2ch’ers myself. That is an awesome, awesome hobby :rofl:

The art of trolling is lost on kids :frowning: I could say “I think Super Street Fighter IV is a bad game, based on these game mechanics”, and because I have an oppinion that’s different from theirs, I’m a troll. It’s like a defense mechanism when you’re butthurt.

2ch is easy mode though, mention fallout 3 and it’s like dropping a bag of blood into a pool of sharks.
<edit> What makes it even better is that my japanese is incredibly broken, and I refuse to use Kanji, so you’d hope that they would catch on that a non native speaker is continuing to do this. Nope.

My personal opinion on this topic, my TE works fine and I don’t give a flying fadoodle about a one frame advantage or what not. It works fine, and that’s the end of it /topic

@ PaperTigre:
I like your new Avi. YUI! I really want to give her ice cream now. xD

Madcatz isnt making anymore fightpads…:sad: it was such an easy/cheap padhack
