I’ll be there. Hope we can get at least one CRT. Please Duralth!!

3

Can you really notice the 10ms? Damn wish I was that good. :frowning:

4

You can feel it in the options menu. Just scroll up and down. It doesn’t feel right.

It’s not only about “10ms” and reaction.

If everything you do has lag than what you’re used to, simple things like just jumping feel off.

There’s a reason 3rd Strike is only played on CRT by arcade players and why it’s only in CRT arcade machines.

5

of course someone needed to make a snarky comment.

what you should be wondering is, why shouldn’t everyone want to play in the best possible conditions if they can?
probably because they’re lazy idiots without much experience.

6

Let’s refrain from offensive or negative comments and just have fun please. Thanks.

7

Snarky?.. Okay. Not to start anything (and this is the last thing I will post about it) but I’d rather take 10ms (well 9ms if upgraded with IPS MX279H) and HDMI 1080p than having to use Composite.

Before you even say “use Component”, this is USA only really. No consumer CRT’s in Europe had Component video. I’d have to import a CRT from America and use a stepdown transformer to play on an equal level with you. An LCD monitor levels the playing field for everyone due to worldwide distribution. The best possible conditions for someone outside your country is a fast LCD TV with HDMI at 1080p. Since Evo is a huge event, I can imagine some European players coming and I bet they all are used to LCD due to what I stated.

Good luck with the event. I’d like to see it streamed so I can root for Tebbo! :wink:

8

Not to discredit anyone but back in the day I played on broken sticks and broken buttons. I also sometimes play on GGPO with a laptop LCD screen and sometimes ST on GGPO as well…

9

and your point is???

While I see the point you are tying to make… no. Last I checked the good euro players are for the most part cps3 players. These players will see/feel the difference and will appreciate the CRT over the noticeable lag the Evo monitor™ has.

10

Thanks to whoever is setting this all up. Keep 3s alive as much as possible and above all else…have fun

11

I’ll have a CRT as long as someone gets me beer. Lots of beer.

12

Oh I’ll definitely be pretty buzzed during this tourney. Good luck to all you guys.

13

congratulations,saru
you’re still one of my favourite yuns / japanese players
and a really nice and humble guy

but what the hell were you doing @ evo ?

I’m a competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee player and “researcher” from Europe / Austria. I stumbled upon this thread while searching for knowledge about the competitive Third Strike scene (just so you don’t wonder what I’m doing here.)

Anyway, the CRT + component / YPbPr + Europe problem is one that I found a solution for. Actually, not one, but three, although for Third Strike probably only two of these apply.

  1. Buy a Sony PVM monitor that accepts 480p60 YPbPr. The models I know of that support that are PVM20M7MDE (I own that one, bought it for 160€) and PVM20L5. The latter even supports 720p60, which you probably prefer. It’s really hard to find one. Sometimes, they are sold for very little, like this one: http://www.ebay.at/itm/Sony-PVM-20L5-Trinitron-Color-Video-Monitor-/191353897874?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c8d94c392 (that was in USA, though)

  2. Buy a YPbPr→RGBHV (“component→VGA”) adapter or cable. Mayflash produces a cable that outputs RGBHV from both Wii and PS3. http://www.mayflash.com/Products/VIDEOADAPTERS/VGA004.html
    Once you have that cable (15-20€ usually, so really cheap), you can use it with any old PC CRT monitor (5-20€ usually) and play in 480p60, 720p60, 1080p60 or whatever the PS3 supports (I only own Nintendo consoles).

  3. Mod your console to output RGBHV directly. This is possible with Gamecubes if you own an official component or D-Terminal cable, I don’t know if such a mod is possible with the PS3.

Solution 1 has the benefit that it’s very easy to capture gameplay that way. PVMs have active passthrough outputs that you can hook up to your capture card without the need for any splitters or distribution amplifiers.
Solution 2 is hard to use for recording. My VGA distribution amplifiers return a black image if I connect them to the adapter’s output. Because the amps work with native VGA, I’m sure it’s a shortcoming of the adapter and not of the amplifier.
Solution 3 is great to use for recording, but you need a VGA dist amp (~15€), 2 additional VGA cables (~4€) and a VGA capture card (~120€, I use StarTech PEXHDCAP).

I hope this will be useful for you or anyone reading this.
