Looks like in the 49 players who signed up there are
26 satapads
17 playstation controllers
1 other usb controller
5 keyboards
0 sticks

surprisingly many using a keyboard for this in japan now, I was expecting to be the only one

Hi I’m having a bit of a problem getting this thing to actualy run with the english patch.

It just keeps telling me I need patch 1.11 and refusing to run even though I already have it installed.

I’ve tried uninstalling the english patch then re-installing it but nothing works, any help would be appreciated because I am really at my wits end here trying to get it to work.

Thanks for any help.

Uhh this is very self explanatory. Your game isn’t patched properly. If you’re the same guy who dropped by IRC a few hours ago you probably don’t have the full game which takes over a gig HD space.

I wrote the English translation loader and stuff.

If it says “IaMP is not patched to v1.11!”, the exact test at that point is it looks for th075b.dat and makes sure it’s the right size. This file is installed by the 1.11 patch: If you don’t have it, then you are not correctly patched. If it says something else, your install is proooobably completely screwed. The patcher might have problems if you have kanji in your directory name for the game.

If you have any more problems I suggest taking them to IRC or PM, things like this are a pain(and spammy) to troubleshoot on forum threads.

Thanks, it was the Kanji causing the problems like you said.

Btw. Tried the game in arcade mode without english before coming back to check responses and its awesome. (btw. I wasn’t the guy on irc)

BUMP BECAUSE I HATE PANTIES

Here’s vids from a recent Japanese tournament. Includes: crowd noise, top players, poverty setups, and one of our own guys from Finland making his daring tournament debut in Japan.

I hate panties too, I think it’s better when they don’t wear any.

Only the third, fourth, and last video have IaMP play in them. The rest is SWR.

so many match and combo vids in this thread.

too misleading in my opinion. this is the true face of iamp

5a much?

[media=youtube]DqPU3vk5-lc[/media]
movement is overrated

zed you’re not helping me out here buddy

work with me

come on now, just looking for equal representation :stuck_out_tongue:
just makes you appreciate the upper tier more.

though on different note, it might be good to up some matchvids of western players. I don’t think there have been many (serious) vids uploaded recently.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Ikusat didn’t want me to release this combo vid but I think the dark secrets of the past should be known by all. Annotated for clarification.

Holy shit this game is fucking creepy looking. Like watching a bizarro painting in my gandma’s house turn into some kind of twisted 2DFG. Fuck. I feel like pooping.

You should go look at Street Fighter IV: Moveswap Edition for PC, now that’s fucking creepy looking

I’m currently looking into getting my ports forwarded (hopefully) so I can pop into IRC for some lagfree matches (possibly)

not as creepy as your av seriously what the fuck is that

bellreisa, sorry, I didn’t mean for it to sound like I was dissing the game. I was just up late and watched a youtube vid of the game and it was the first thing I thought. The game actually looks pretty crazy in a good way.

The avatar is my drunken lariat performed on the Chun and Ken cosplayers at the gamestop SFIV finals. I don’t know how it happened.

Even day-1 Sakuya’s know how to combo after 22A. This looks more like booster to me.

nah, this guy has been “playing on and off for two months” by his own account.
a couple people specced the set (there were a few other funny rounds) so you can ask them, but I’ll spare his name :stuck_out_tongue:

Terrible. It would have been a good video to show how blocking is a strong defensive tool… but yeah, no.

ok i was looking at it from a laptop and i couldn’t tell the person in the middle was… a person

reminded me of jackie chan sf movie to be honest

On a serious note, IaMP has a dearth of players who actually know how to play fighting games. Please save us, we are tired of telling people what a BnB means.
