OK, regarding the character changing rule. Originally, I had the players pick out the characters before the matches started. Then Mushishi said it’s not a good idea, then I took it out. My fault is that I never clarified further about the character selection rule. So any interpretation could be valid.
Personally, I think people should stick to one character throughout the entire tourney, but I guess a lot of people object to that.
OK, let me make it official now: based on the opinions of the board, you can ONLY switch character after a match, if you LOSE the previous match. Same with modes, you can ONLY switch modes after a match, if you LOSE the previous match.
Regarding the emulator issue:
I don’t really care what emulator you use for the tourney, as long as both players agree on one. If there is an argument over the emulator to use, both parties default to mame v0.64. That is the emulator the a large part of the last blade 2 community has been using for ages, and it’s only fair to favor the majority of the players rather than compensating for only 1 or 2 people.
Before this gets out of hand, I believe Stafos interpreted your previous e-mail incorrectly. I think he thought YOU changed your character after a win.
Also, with all due respect, playing Last Blade 2 on 0.64 is not THAT bad. Yes, it could be better but it’s flaws don’t have a material effect on playability. That’s my opinion of course.
In Muukuu’s defense, the rules as they existed at the time of your match didn’t forbid changing after a win. I think it would be cool of Muukuu to replay the remainder of the set (keeping his first win), but I don’t think he did anything wrong.
it also didnt say that u could change character upon win
and every tourney i have ever been to or played in the only time u were allowed to change your character was if the arcade mode let u do that
ie mk games where after a win when u go back to character select both players were able to change characters again
i have no desire to play him again
i lost it was ggs
i wanted to play on nfba but he didnt have it so we used .64
good luck to the rest of u who are still cometing in the tourney
Whoops, I suppose that’s what two days without sleep gets me… Yeah, I thought he changed his character after a win. Though, my personal belief is that anything other than kawaks (as much as I like kawaks, it’s input detection is trash) that can easily access home mode is good enough.
You fail in the event that you were the one that didn’t understand how it worked. Otherwise, I retract that comment. I blame Kyo and Hajime not entering for the lack of people, though, kyo would probably sweep it in all odds.
didnt understand how what worked?
i understand that u never get to change your characters in any fighting game that not mk unless u lose
and i understand that no where did it say u could or u couldnt switch
but that shit is an unwritten rule in tournies
the only thing i fail to understand is mame .64
I couldn’t enter if I wanted to. My PC broke down a month or so ago, so I’ve been on my laptop ever since, and this laptop KB sucks ass.
I have a stick, but I suck balls on it, and one of the buttons is fucked up anyway. I’ve got a saturn pad and a converter coming within the month, so hopefully I’ll be able to get back on then.
The only reason I can see for not using nFBA with the special p2p client is the lack of stage select.
Other than that nFBA is superior in every way.
As for mame 0.117, I’ve never tried playing anything other than CPS3 games on it so I can’t comment.
I have issues with the way controls are mapped. I have my buttons set in the following config on the front 4 buttons of my gamepad.
:snka::snkb:
:snkc::snkd:
LB2 regularly forces you to use :snka::snkb:, :snka::snkc:, :snkc::snkd:, and :snkb::snkc: button combinations. No matter how I orient my buttons there would always be a diagonal combination that’s difficult or impossible to consistently execute. My setup pretty much requires me to map button combinations to a single button, or map :snka:, :snkb:, :snkc:, or :snkd: to multiple buttons. The problem is I can’t figure out how to do this on nFBA.
“” - Name space, detection for name is broken on older FBA versions. I suggest leaving this blank.
switch - Makes note for the key you need to press to activate it.
0xQQ - Replace QQ with the hex value for the key you wish to use for it, to find this out, set a useless P2 key to what you want, then copy it’s value.
“button” 0x01 - Replace “button” with what you want to use AS FBA LISTS IT IN THE .INI FILE. THIS IS PROBABLY CASE SENSITIVE.
An example of a complete LB2 (or SNK, if you prefer) macro:
Limitations/issues:
There is only support for one custom macro.
Config for it (once set) shows up at the BOTTOM of the control input menu.
You can only have a maximum of four buttons registered.
Then my only remaining gripe is the NeoGeo BIOS situation. IMO it’s a pretty serious problem when it comes to LB2. It’s not like I have stock in Mame or anything. It’s just that it works where it counts. I would love to play on an EMU that worked better.
Well, my nerd-hat isn’t shown unless I’m showing off common knowledge of emulator functions. Also, I edited that a bunch of times so it’s a lil easier to understand.
