man that Akuma player, he was a good sport and all but he was getting lucky as hell with some of those matches cause i couldnt parry the god damn fireballs. i dunno if you see me eat like 10 3 hit fireballs in a row. haha.
hit me up if you want to meet up down there, i work pretty close so i can swing by after work and shit if need be.
Cool. I’ll have to see when I’m down there.
Yeah, I kept getting owned thinking I could play at my old level. So I kept trying to parry shit and eating it, missing random chicken combos, and not being able to range for shit. Gotta go back to square one… ugh.
I’ve been back a few times since. The stick on the one player side is far worse than the one on the two player side. It’s loose and slow to center.
Can you guys fix that?
Aside from that, no complaints.
wow you guys have started to go there. the cabs remind me of the oaktree but far worse :sad:. I’ll be stopping there through out next week cause work is bringing me back out to SF.
So I just went to the Metreon for the first time. I hate to be an ass but the 3rd strike cab there is horrible:
1P stick is missing shaft cover, stick is hella loose, was a tiny bit hard to hit the corners
2P side - couldn’t hit down back or up left at all. I couldn’t hit down right or up left at all, it sucked.
Also, the buttons are sooo spread out! They feel like they are a mile apart. The monitor also has some major color issues, and I also noticed the monitor going black randomly (just as someone above mentioned).
I won’t be back unless there is some work done to those machines…
Did it not work or could you just not hit it consistently? Ill say the cabs arent perfect or anything, but last time I went they were playable. The buttons being spread apart isn’t a big deal imo.
could barely hit it…like if i moved from right to down right, it wouldnt register at all. I had to reset the stick to neutral and then go directly to down right and it sometimes worked.
I guess its personal preference…but if the sticks were at least ok I’d go back.
Also, the 2P buttons weren’t responsive sometimes. I’d try to do ex moves but they wouldn’t come out. The 1P side buttons registered fine though.
Desistyle were you using alex? If so I was using akuma. Yeah the 2p sides on most machines there are jacked. I only stop by on my breaks from work! two days left then I won’t be back in frisco for a few weeks.
I went by today. The 2p side strong button is jacked. I agree with what’s been said earlier about the corners being a bit off. More people need to get down there, so there will be incentive to get the game in tip top shape.
I think the sticks are fixed! I played on 1p side and it was just fine. Soem guy that works there played on 2p side and it he said it was working fine.
I was there for a little bit on Friday killing some time playing 3s… probably wouldn’t ever go back with the sticks in such conditions (especially the 1p side).
Mvc2 controls were fixed on Saturday and is in perfect working order. We also checked 3rd strike and I told the technician how both joystick were off in direction (1st player right goes down or down/right and 2nd player’s up/forward is too close to up) but after an input test, everything seemed to be in working order. If 3rd strike continues to have problems just tell us in detail what happened.
