Good games folks. That was a the most I’ve played in a long time. Felt good!

Vegas anybody,Las Vegas Hilton 3-4 nights/$129 (2 options) through 7/31 - Slickdeals.net
just saying

Toshin: Yes please!

fuck, 3rd strike has the best tunes.

quick question: an opportunity to get the MK Kournament Kdition slightly below cost just fell into my lap. Anybody know if a) the stick itself is tolerable (for a $60 stick, basically, once you factor out the cost of the game) and b) if anybody local would take 20 bucks (or slightly more) to fix the layout? Because seriously who arranges buttons in a friggin’ italicized cross shape. I’m happy enough with MK (when I’m not sober) to pay for it and I really want another stick, even if it’s just a stopgap.

(also curious if there’s a way to mod in the 2 missing buttons for the triplets. Probably I will find the answer to this when I get home and can google.)

Buy it and sell the stick for $60. You will sell it easily (I’d buy it). You can’t “fix” the layout to non-MK without having a mess. The layout works for MK, and it’s an MK stick.

Played against a Ken in a ranked match last night. Every hit I landed on him was a trade. It wasn’t very fun.

Good games, man. Are you coming to the tourney at LGS on May 21? I’d like to get some more practice against your Abel before then.

Note - this was a reply to Flushes’ recent post. I fucked up and din’t include the quote.

Note - I fucked up the last edit, too. “din’t” should read “didn’t”.

in trade school my partner called me “channel ten” for 2 years

It would have been longer but the trade school program is only 2 years :slight_smile:

“Channel 10” just watched as a toronto sf player both got blown up in endless and exploded from rage.

“ur such a pussy” was the hate mail.

You can get as much practice vs. me as you want, but I can’t make it to any tournaments this year until I get back from evo due to a common condition native to Cape Breton known as broke as fuck. Afterwards, I’m going to gather my shit together and try to make it to every single weekend tournament in the province.

I must have family from Cape Breton

You mean fix the layout like a normal six-button face or just switch buttons around in the given (cross-shape) arrangement? I can do the latter no probs. It sounds like you mean the former, which I don’t know can be done.

Also, we should 'ill again.

Also this.

Flushes, come out and play some Marvel and SF tomorrow. Everyone else quit or moved away and I’ve had a lot of work lately so I’m way out of practice. Also I want to talk to you about Evo and set up some plans or something.

You can fix the layout by buying a new face plate and just rearranging them. As for the triple buttons, why?

just hit all of the lower 3 together = bowie knives to the eye!

KNIIIIIIFE EEEEEYYYYE ATTAAAACK

Yeah I was definitely hoping to be able to get the standard SF layout. Triplets not a huge deal, especially if they’re impossible, but I am still lame enough to get a lot of use out of 'em. Faceplate replacement seems like a pretty reasonable solution to me if it’s actually as easy as it sounds, and I should be able to switch from a bat to a ball-top pretty easily too? Not too worried about the gate or anything like that. Guess I’ll get the order in since it’s money I’ll never even see.

Bninja, you busy after Ranbats? Definitely going to get a few hours in w/ Ozone afterwards, you’re welcome to come with. Once I move and get the Street Fighter Room (fuck. yeah.) set up there should be a hell of a lot more going on. And we’ll basically be neighbors, so. Also: this applies to anybody else, with the caveat that my house is a Shit House due to the impending move.

PS. Ox - trade you for your custom dual-mod. Ell oh ell! I’ll keep it in mind if I hate the stick and it makes me sad, though.

Flushes, just move here already geez
