Iowa: Maize of Defeat

I really feel like I need to start looking for a way to drop in with you guys from time to time. I’ve done nothing but hit a wall with playing online. I’m hoping finding a group of people that I can play with in person can help me get better.

I can do combos in training room all day, but that doesn’t say shit for my fundamentals, which are well… shit. I get that that comes with experience, but when that experience is centered around playing something where there’s like a 1 second delay on almost all of my inputs, it gets frustrating.

Things like this make me wish I had learned how to drive.

Long story short: I’m a fucking scrub and Iowa needs more public transport.

DID SOMEONE SAY MK9>!>!>!>!>!?!!?!?

At the very least, I will go out of my way to play you. If there’s no tourney, I’ll money match ya first-to-five for five bucks.

Shit just GOT REAL.

Not really. I just like giving people five bucks. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll be sending you my mailing address here shortly.

I dig it Mike. Sounds like fun.

It’d be nice to get some people playing MK9 even if it’s for free. Anyone down for a free tourney? We could probably round up 5 or 6 people.

I’d probably be down for a free tourney.

Sooo…how’s everyone doing? Still alive up in here?

Anyone getting VF5FS in June? I probably shouldn’t be excited to buy another game that no one in town will play with me, but…

…I’m excited. :slight_smile:

I’ll be trying it.

Btw after this latest sfxt bug that capcom PATCHED INTO THEIR GAME anyone still giving them money should be ashamed of themselves.

Why aren’t you people playing Diablo? Oh yeah, their servers go down every 5 seconds…

More like DIA-BLOWS

GNOME SAYIN?!?!?

Good luck to everyone going to UFGT to compete, I’ll be too busy running stuff to but should be a blast anyways.

Question for you, Murph: What’s the situation with PS to 360 converters? I’m trying to figure out exactly what’ I’m going to need for my Calibur match since I play on pad, and rather than go through a bunch of posts in the event thread, I figured I’d start with you to see if you knew.

I have a converter, but it’s really obnoxious because I have to have a wired 360 pad/stick hooked up at the same time to get it to sync correctly and allow the 360 to register the PS pad inputs.

I don’t use converters, I play stick so I just hard wire directly for each system to avoid problems/lag/ect. Honestly the easiest solution IMO might be to just buy one of those 6 button SF pads but I realize they are not optimal.

Honestly, I’d be better on a stick, lol.

etokki.com has some newish ps/2 to 360 converters that work really well. i haven’t had any issues so far anyway. don’t know if that’sa viable option for you or not but it’s there.

Tad late now, but it’s honestly not a big deal. I’m going to play on stick with the understanding that I’ll probably get owned as a result. This is one of the super rare times that a 3D has been put on XBOX when PS is the standard, so I don’t really expect to run into it again. If I do… oh, well, I ain’t winning Evo anytime soon. :slight_smile:

and this is what happens when i check the forums only once or twice a week. ah well. Good luck though

If James (DTJB) isn’t playing at the same time as you, see if you can borrow my PS2/PS3-360 converter off him and try it out with whatever you’re using.
