cvs2 cabinet controls do NOT work perfectly…
holy zen. i thought only anthony says ‘what the freak’
Isn’t Patton Vending Great?
hey guys. I like crystal from that one spin off show from flava of love.
I Love Patton Vending
i’ll see you there today allen
Som, I’ll be back in a couple weeks. Let’s hang
We are in Business.
Well, I think we can get somewhere with this. I feel that we should not all go ahead and email him at the same time with our own thoughts. If you guys would like to see something changed at CSUS, please post some ideas here ( REASONABLE IDEAS). There are things i cannot ask for. For example, Arcana hearts seem out of the question.
There are some things i will definitely mention and give them an idea of the priority it should take. E.g. 3rd Strike. I can shoot for KOF XI and ggxx:AC though availability for them may be difficult.
Bear in mind that Patton Vending seems to lack the understanding of what’s the “hot new games”. so if you have sources that support the game please list them as well so i dont’ have to dig for it all the time.(i.e. Threads with positive feedback about a game, youtube vids that have HUGE crowd pleasers[evomoment 37], anything with hype for the game). This will most likely help out a lot.
Let’s keep this clean.
FYI, i sent out a short email request today for an audiencee, and i got the response within a couple hours.
Link them good SBO finals footage.
allen,
you know what i think would be best? see if you can set something up to meet him in person and walk him through everything that is wrong and have a tech there at the same time so things can be addressed. face to face meetings are always better so he can actually put faces to names and not just internet garbage. he’ll will know we aren’t just bsing when he sees it himself.
if he can meet us sometime during the early afternoon i’ll get off work and help you out.
afaik, the only thing wrong with the game room right now is mvc2 jab doesnt’ work with fierce 100% of the time. (which i mentioned to them)
hao told me that cvs2 is currently running fine.
i don’t think there’s anything wrong with DR. and no one plays any of the alpha games.
If you still want to do the in personal setup, i can send another email requesting it. However i’m going to wait till they respond because i ust sent two huge emails explaining what we expect and what games to get (including the daigo vs justin evo moment). Also in their email they said they allot an hour a day (at the most). and last time i saw the tech was in the morning. Which is why i’m going with the email approach. Unless we can truly show them that our community can make a big difference in their business, I really doubt they will take the time to come in person.
if you want to see what i wrote, send me a PM with ur email and i’ll forward it to you.
here’s a short summery:
mvc2:take a look at lp/hp pressed together
DR: 25 cents continue
cvs2:25 cents or 25 cent continue
get 3s: high priority
get kof XI: if they can get their hands on it
get accent core: if they can find one
get any other version of ggxx: so hao and cliff can do comboes on the AI.
look into arcana hearts: i just suggested it, i dont’ know much about it.
the 2p stick is jacked. did they fix it?
yeah 2p stick is jacked but put a 360 in there? =O On 1p it’s not just when jab and fierce is pressed together it’s just jab in general doesn’t work 100% even by itself. it may be the button or a wiring issue. request bigger cabinet? 
dr-right punch on 2p side doesn’t work 100% and sometimes there’s a delay when it comes out. this might be a wiring/grounding issue. seems like something isn’t making solid contact there. also the card slot on the 1st player side has something stuck in it. maybe a coin? but my card doesn’t go in all the way. request 3/5 rounds. it’s pretty standard for a 50 cent machine.
last time i played cvs2 roundhouse on 2p didn’t work all the time. but that’s cvs2
oh and most of all ask them to remove the bar that covers the coin return slots. that seriously is a bitch. my fingers are pretty skinny and i have trouble getting my quarters back. couldn’t imagine someone with fat fingers trying lol
ask for a direct number from him for future references so we can avoid this next time and see what they think about us holding tournaments on saturdays. it’d bring them more revenue especially on a dead day like saturday and it can be like a thank you for fixing everything. we’d just need access to startup options for event mode.
woo i’m kinda excited lol
I was thinking we go to the Union manager with a proposal to completely get patton vending out of the picture. Show them a schematic of what machines we want in there and the revenue possibility of the machines. We show them examples of the Berkeley and UC Davis arcades (which are 95% student run) and the amount they make from their casual gaming and tournaments and the possibilities of what the Union could be.
Patton vending needs to be flushed out.
well if they’re serious about fixing the place up and keeping it maintained it could work. sfsu and sjsu are both vender run and they’re able still able to make their gameroom into a pretty competitive game center for being in a school.
from what i hear, someone has already mentioned removing patton vending to the union president. but she’s currently on maternity leave or something. should be back this month. the problem with student run arcades is that it’s a big expense at the beginning and you gotta hire someone who can fix/adjust controls. anything else can be pretty much taking to a professional to fix. that’s probably what most people do anyways. i like the idea of the console room though. 4 bucks an hour is a pretty sweet deal if you get a couple people playing. i’ve never used it so i don’t know how well the setup will do for fighters.
Let’s give it a shot.
Sorry for the late response. There’s not a Hyper SF2 AE cabinet, but one of those Ultracade machines with all of the SF2 games and Alphas on it.
Game Room now has a regular Alpha 3 machine, which is nice.
Stuff that needs fixing:
The “new” Street Fighter Alpha 3 arcade machine has monitor issues. It actually seems more like it’s the actual arcade board that’s the problem, it looks like somebody needs to blow into it like an old Nintendo cartridge.
Also, the light kick (leftmost button on the bottom row) is inconsistent and ndeeds to be replaced on the 2P (right-hand) half of the machine.
Both of the joysticks on the Marvel vs Capcom 2 machine need to be replaced, especially the one on the 2P (right) side. The light punch button (leftmost button on the top row) on the 1P (left) side of the machine. The change return slot is also jammed on the right side.
I haven’t played the SF Anniversary Edition machine since last week, but the 1P (left) joystick needed replacing and the hard kick button (rightmost button on the bottom row of the same side) didn’t work at all. The 2P (right) joystick needed replacing also, and possibly the medium punch button as well (middle button of the top row on the right side of the arcade cabinet); when you moved the joystick, that button would sometimes randomly fire off, even if you didn’t touch it.
The second SF Anniversary Edition machine is now back, but is out of order- I assume it’s the Start buttons that don’t work, since, if I recall correctly, one of those was broken before it was taken away the last time.
I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed.
there’s a tekken tourney at noon today if anyone wants to go watch me rip shit up.
Did you own kids?
I talked to Dave pope thru several email replies. and for the record, my emails are pretty long. His replies only replies to what interest them which currently involves
1)Where do we install the HAPP 360s (has 8)
2) and some information about the DDR removal.
If anyone is interested.
This seems to not be an issue of patton vending doing a “shitty” job. Its more of an issue that they do not see us as profitable customers. According to patton vending, mvc2 and cvs2 are not on the top profit list. So unless mvc2 and cvs2 proves to be worth something, showing them Evo2k links and references to 3rd strike being just as good, if not better than mvc2/cvs2 wont’ mean a thing to them.
We definitely need to take this one step at a time. Som has a good idea with the tournaments but that might be a while as well.
the first thing to do is…
get the Happ sticks installed on MVC2 and cvs2. This is a great help. Next would be buttons for mvc2, i’m pretty sure if it looks good, we can get a donation thing goiing from all the future marvel go-ers at csus. buttons are like what? $2 per convex? i told som this earlier, start off simple and get 2 convex buttons on LP and HP, that way you guys can tri-jump 100% of the time. i dont 'realy see the need for convex on the assist buttons. some people spend more than $4 a day on mvc2 anyways.
Then we could shoot for 3S. I know not everyone plays it. I dont’ particularly care for the game either, but we all know this is the most popular game. If we get this with good sticks/buttons, i’m sure som and i (maybe others) can work on details for tournies. tournies would help the hype and then we can get somewhere. Having the top 3 tourny games should be the main goal right now.
Aftewards, we can start requesting the “other” games. guilty gear, kof, arcana spleen, whatever. I know a lot of us would love to have that now, but face it. I don’t think Hao playing slash day and night by himself is gonna get patton vending to side with us.
anyways, i asked patton vending specifically about what’s the deal with 3S. If we’re not getting it, it’d be helpful to know why.
Awesome. What great customer service. “Hey let’s shit on our customers that don’t play our most popular machine”. That’d be like me refusing service at my job to people that want to buy merchandise that’s not part of the Men’s department.
