No clue what the technical differences between the two are. Basically just thinking about picking up any cabinet I can get on the cheap or building one.
Beyond that trying to decide if I should try for an high class arcade setup with either a CPS - 2 or Naomi rig, or if I should go super cheap and just MAME the bitch. Y’know, typical frat friday night decision.
Still haven’t gotten a chance to talk to Kate from Slackers.
Ah, candy cab. I assume that’s what Andrew has. Wouldn’t mind one, but the sit down side by side playing is a bit awkward. I prefer to stand.
Slackers is looking to get like 1k+ out of the Marvel v SF cabinet, which puts it at too rich for my blood. But they have an empty cabinet + a CPS - 2 A board available for on the cheap. Of course, it’s somewhere in St. Louis.
Do we know anyone in STL with a truck who would want to make like gas money+ to drive a cab + CPS-2 board to Columbia? Probably not, but a boy can dream, I guess.
Anyone with PS3 MvC?
–edit–
Actually, shit, is Ranbat this weekend? Might just make the run up Saturday. Anyone interested in a run?
That marvel vs SF cab at Slackers has already been sold. I went in there a few weeks back to ask if I could play it because it was turned off, and they said they couldn’t turn it on because someone was buying it.:sad:
They had sold it, but then the buyer backed out. It sat there for a bit, then the suicide battery on the Marvel B board went tits up. They apparently bought a new one, and combined the two working bits into a working cabinet.
Anyway, this left them with a CPS - 2 A board and an empty cabinet, somewhere in the bowels of a warehouse in STL. Going to be heading that way with Pat Saturday, should be able to hit the tourney as well. Then apparently I’ll find the silver arrow and finally be able to kill Ganon.
I wish like hell I could have gotten in when Gunther’s in Columbia closed down. They had some crazy deals on some good games. Course, I’d rather have the arcade still in business…
When is the next Aerial Rave monthly? Does someone from town want to go, and want to drag me along? I’m good for gas money.
Also, anyone who’s gonna be in STL for Labor Day Weekend, the troupe is performing like five times at the Japan festival at the Botanical Gardens. Stop by if you want to see me fail at puppets~
Just picked up Marvel for the PS3, I always enjoy playing it and Pat may be in as well.
Also, I have a cabinet and CPS - 2 A board in my house now. I expect to have a running product sometime in 2012. That’s assuming I don’t get bored and just slap my PS3 into the cabinet with a spare TV.
Fuck me E. Honda is bullshit in HD. What do you do about people smashing hundred hands in your face on wakeup? Can you dp it? Or am I just retarded? Fuck I hate that guy. Only bullshit match I just had no clue what to do, no matter who I played with.
yeah reversal dp beats it 100% of the time. Honestly if they’re doing it too close you might even be able to throw on wakeup, but that’s hella risky. But yeah, if you’re playing a shoto, just dp it
Just so you know, reversal timing is much stricter in ST than in many new games. I don’t know that it’s literally frame-perfect requirements or what, but compared to like SF3 (and obviously SFIV) it’s way harder.
I would probably hate ST and HDR if throws weren’t so easy to break.
free I’m on PSN too, my tag is dire-walrus. I’ve got BB and SF4. I won’t be on too much but yeah.
It’s been like forever since we’ve played fighting games here, is it just dead? Call me crazy but I’m actually thinking of trying something new in SF4, even though I ain’t really like that game.
