Hey King B, do you know that tomorrow there is sf4 at the LGS. I don’t think Yevette is holding anything…

And that’s why I post here! Oh yeah, anybody wanna bring me a 360 controller so I can try my adapter? Once I know how well it works I’ll decide if I’m buying just a standard controller or not.

YOU MANGLED MY NAME.

I hate you.

It took 1985 ranked matches, but I finally got the Tenpeat achievement. Ended up with a 12 win streak.
I’ve also managed to figure out how to play at B rank without losing too often. Hovering around 4600-4800 BP now.

I’m considering picking up a Hitbox controller when I get some money in the fall, any strong opinions or stern warnings about that? Apparently they’re made with a form of the Cthulhu board but not a dual-console one, I’d want to swap that for a dual-console if it’s even possible. Coming from 10 years of off-and-on play w/ keyboard right up to vanilla (I still think I’m better on KB than on stick) I think the hitbox would be brilliant for me, and no more friggin’ accidental jumping.

Also, totally showing up tonight, so everybody else should too. I can’t believe how bad I miss SF already.

Mal: You would need an IMP and a hacked 360 Pad for dual console support. The yucky looking WWE pads are perfect for destroying the faceplates to :slight_smile:

So, I made these Marvel Posters. Had a good laugh making them, I think the Akuma/wolvie one is the best.

Saw them earlier on Facebook, Kyle. They’re awesome. I like the best friends one the most, as well.

GGs last night guys, adapter seems pretty good.
Few things I took note of though, couldn’t backwards teleport with kicks very well, or finish off my combos with tatsus as Akuma, after I went home I tried my black controller instead of the silver one, the d-pad is slightly better since it feels less like a solid mass compared to my silver one and allowed me to do these things I was having trouble with yesterday.
I tried the adapter on my PS3 and I didn’t catch a single dropped input after 5 minutes of combos and demon flips(Inputs on in training room), I could also land my combos into sweeps almost as consistently as I could on the PS3 controller, and I bet I could land them just as consistently if I got my plinking down with the new shoulder buttons.

TL;DR version: EVERYTHING IS FINE AND DANDY WITH THE ADAPTER, WILL PRACTICE WITH BLACK PS2 CONTROLLER NOW.

If I played Ken, I’d abuse the shit out of his forward kick thing. It seems rather useful.

That’s why Ken’s kara throw is so good.

GGs to ooPo last night. My Gouken is coming along slowly

More Evo cameos by yours truly

Getting that Broken Tier swag, eh?

I challenge you to a Gouken Mirror Match Duel!

DOOO ITTTTT!!! I’ll hype that shit up tonight.

I like Ox
Also if you notice kyle through the camera work I was nowhere around there, then just showed up out of nowhere…

My money is on Gouken winning the mirror match!

Some opponents I ran into during ranked play last night:

  1. Blanka player using turbo to do the electricity thing after every move. Literally. He got to B rank doing this apparently.
  2. Dee Jay player walking backwards and shooting that sonic boom thing for the entire match. I think he wanted to be Guile.
  3. A personal favorite: A guy playing Ken/Ryu/EvilRyu that very obviously ‘buffered’ his dragon punches. Or he was having a seizure.

Ranked matches are so random sometimes. I need more consistency in my opponents please.

I have found a reliable setup for Makoto crossup instant air axe kick. Nobody blocks this thing, it’s crazy looking. It might be character specific though, so I fully expect to get smashed as I try it on everyone :eek:

Why don’t you just make your way to FFI in September and show it off there?
