If you can show up for this and give MVC2 one last swing before y’all crack out on MVC3. Final sign up is at 7:30pm. If 15 or more ppl show up the Gamestop guy might buy everyone pizza.
Call 310 965 0872 to sign up or for info.
Well yesterday one of my MVC2’s crapped out on me at the Smoke Shop and I replaced it with Alpha 3. The good news is that a lot of people at the Smoke Shop today were excited about Alpha 3. The bad news is that I have no idea why my MVC2 keeps freezing.
But to be honest I never really liked having two MVC2’s at the Smoke Shop. I at least wanted one version of Street Fighter there. Third Strike there failed. Super Turbo failed. Alpha 3 is probably the most relatable 2D Street Fighter since it doesn’t look too old like ST and isn’t too technical and exotic like 3S. It’s also probably the closest to SSF4 since a lot of the cast in A3 is in SSF4. I think Alpha 3 will do good with the crowd at the Smoke Shop. I had fun playing it today lol. I played it for like two hours because I was testing it. Alpha 3 will most likely stay here for a long time. I don’t want to change the games anymore.
But I got a question for all you MVC2 heads out there:
What kind of glitches are there in the arcade version? I know you can freeze the game. One guy even was stuck in the air and it wouldn’t go down to the ground.
So what are the glitches in the arcade machine? And how do you do these things?

Woot, now I get to learn A3 Guy! =D
The freeze glitch in mvc2 is the only one i know about
I was using Guy and playing everyone yesterday lol.
Guy is awesome.

Yes it’s TAS but it’s still possible lol.
I like the old srk format better because you can change the heading of the thread. Now you can’t change it. The smokeshop now has Super Turbo and not Alpha 3.
Anyway I replaced Alpha 3 with Super Street Fighter II X: Grandmaster Challenge. That’s just the Japanese version of Super Turbo. My Alpha 3 crapped out on me and the screen stopped working. I had to replace the whole machine:(
Well the good news is that I just found out yesterday that the CPU in the Japanese version of ST is much much easier. Unlike in the USA version, you won’t get killed by the first guy and every guy you play doesn’t feel like you’re playing Daigo lol.
Well pretty much this an MVC2 arcade but instead of leaving two MVC2’s there, I rather put an SF to at least have a little SF culture there at the smokeshop. To my surprise when I put in ST today some people started playing it. Hopefully it’ll pick up and there will be a tiny following.
So unless this machine craps out on me, I’m leaving Super Turbo and MVC2 there and not change it anymore. Now at the smokeshop you have two of the best fighting games ever created:)

Freeze glitch requires you to pick Rubyheart and her super and have something funny happen. I’m not sure how that one works. Gambit glitch requires one to do a snap back, hit or miss, and then do his wall jump dive thing. he will then fly off the screen.
The owners and the people who work there tell me that there are some pretty good MVC2 players there beating everyone.
I’m wishing the players here will go all retro and get a rotation in ST.
Oh ya again, since it’s the Japanese version the computer is much much easier.
I put Third Strike in a new cab at the Smoke Shop today:)

Is there anything you can do about the blurry screen?
No:(. Unless I put in a new screen. Is it really that blurry?

I ended up playing marvel cause the screen was too blurry, but if it’s something that can’t be fixed, I can get used to it. It’s kind of like playing a clear screen with my glasses off.
Hopefully down the line I will save up some money and put a new screen in it. I do want it to look good. This happens a lot. When I get these cabs, they’re in my dark dim garage and when you play it, it looks clear but when I take it out to the public it looks either washed out or dim because it’s not in a dark place.
So in the mean time try to play the cab and I’ll try to save up to buy a new screen. I do want 3S to look good.
So school starts again this week and I’m hoping that with 3SO out, 3S will get new life and get some play:).
For the players who go to my place and go to El Camino and/or live nearby and love 3S let’s gets some games in. Show that MVC2 machine who’s boss:)

So I stopped by the Smoke Shop today and saw Kara Fail and played him some intense games.
Jnana you’re right: The screen is kinda messed up. It’s either too blurry when it’s bright or too dark when it’s clear. It’s a little difficult but it’s still playable.
Because I love 3S and I want to try to promote it at the smoke shop, I want to replace the monitor so it looks all nice and pretty like the MVC2 and encourage those MVC2 scrubs there to play 3S.
I checked and saw how much to install a bright new monitor and it cost $300 plus installation.
Because I want 3S to look pretty there, if you guys play the games and help me I will try my best and use the arcade money to replace the 3S monitor. That way they’ll be no excuses.
When I put these cabs in my dark garage they’re fine. But when I put it in a well lighted place like a store, it gets all faded out:(
The CVS2 competition has been picking up here.
MVC2 comp is always solid.
When school’s in, students are always hanging out at the smokeshop playing between classes.

I still go there to play MVC2 in between classes. I have noticed that people are picking up on CVS2, though. I really appreciate you keeping the machines well managed and fixing buttons ^.^
Thanks for playing I’m glad there’s still interest.
Just trying to preserve what’s left of an arcade scene. Glad ppl are still having fun with it:)

Don, when you get the chance, can you check the joystick on the 2P side for MVC2? It seems much harder to get things to come out on that side than on the 1P side.
I just put in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter III Third Strike for the new fall semester.
Enjoy.
