Damn i was like “Oh shit something to do on friday night…” but one cab… ehh, step in the right direction i guess
what kind of stick
It’s the same stuff that was in the old VF5 cab, so in this case that means a Japanese stick and convex buttons (arrayed in an arc.) The screen is pretty nice, too - you’re sitting quite a bit closer to it than you do at Tacoma as well.
Ya, it’s true they decided to fuck up our VF5 cabs instead of waiting for the new SF4 cabs to come in. Honestly I’m pretty pissed off about this instead of putting VF5 back into a cab THAT WAS MADE FOR IT they’re going to fuck up all 4 cabs in the long run. I KNEW they were going to do this shit on my days off too. I’ll get the full meal deal when I clock in tomorrow and update you all then.
UPDATE: SF4 is down again, same incompatibility issue I mentioned before. Hopefully they’ll realize their error and wait for the cabs. I’ll update again later.
SHIT, down for the night I assume? I was about to head down to get some beginners practice in. =/
Yo, ok so I made a wire harness that goes directly from the power supply to the JVS board and I got the 2nd cab up and running. Now, before you all mob us down here theres still 2 things I need to troubleshoot…First, for whatever fucked up reason there’s no sound on the #2 unit. Second, I need to find proper dip switch setting to get the monitor to the correct aspect ratio. So, with all that in mind if for whatever reason I can’t get the units up tonight I don’t see why they won’t be up tomorrow…here’s hoping.
All Problems fixed and cabs are all buttoned up and they’ll be on the floor some time tomorrow…NO BULLSHIT! 
You got the skills to pay the bills. Maybe I can make it down tomorrow.
I’m stoppin’ by for sure!!!
Well that was pretty sweet! A quick, convenient trip to Seattle and I got to play SFIV true Japanese style. Sitting at a really nice cabinet and playing with the same kind of nice Japanese controls I use to play it at home. And with a VIP card it comes out to 90 cents a play. When they get the actual Viewlix cabs, it’ll truely be a scene straight out of a Japanese arcade. Nice job Gameworks (and of course everyone who petitioned and stuff to make this happen)!
Also good games to Pablo and Jason and all the others that showed up to give it a test drive. Us ending with a Draw Game was quite the way to finish Jason!
random post to see my sig
i need an avatar. SF IV wins.
Sweet games for all of those that showed up today/tonight it was fun. I’ll imput the codes for Akuma on the P2 side as soon as it’s not completely surrounded by people. Jason, your Blanka is fucking wild. Good stuff.
Yeah awesome work Nate. Anyone else would just have left SFIV on single player mode for an eternity.
The cabinet set up is too good.
Yea good games fellas, first time playing and it was bomb. I was something like 2-10 but it’s all good. I’m pretty hyped about this game now.
EDIT: Actually, is there any good SFIV literature yet? I’m too lazy to search the forums.
if you don’t know…
http://www.eventhubs.com has a SFIV guide and is a good place to start off if your looking for general info on characters.
now you know.
There is a thread that as some more advanced info about the game. Frame and vitality data for example. Worth a look if you are bored.
I dropped by Gameworks after the tourney…lovin’ the Japanese setup! Let’s start showing up on Thursday nights guys!
were you the ryu player?? i remember his name started with a “j” but i totally forgot it. my bad.
GG’s everyone tonight. 13 wins ended but TheFuture then 16 wins ended by Billy hahaha. good to know that there will be some tournament play at gameworks ^^
too bad i left when most of the srk people showed up (shin shen long, pablo, etc.) ill most likely catch up with you guys more often.
Yup! (James), haha. Gg’s man, your Ryu was pretty solid.
Questions,
-
How does one get a VIP card?
-
When the code for Akuma is inputted in the cabinet, is he just on the character select screen like normal characters from then on? I haven’t played SF4 in about two months, before Akuma was selectable, so I don’t know.
