I should call my brother and see if he wants to come through sometime. he goes to UCA.
I wish I could buy another TE… I want an original so bad.
Any place in NWA with a MVC2 machine?
how did you test for the lag? And yes, theoretically, increasing the usb polling rate could bring the latency down to 2 ms, which is unnoticeable.
It seems that way. I’m not sure how this’ll work yet. First we need to see who’s interested. Then we need to see when we should do it. Finally, we need a way to fairly come up with teams so that people aren’t asked to be on multiple teams.
Thanks, I’m gonna jump on a TvC stick to replace mine. It’s having problems.
We could do non-HD if it’s not expensive. How much would that cost? The big thing is that having another capture card makes it easier to decide to use two TVs because having one TV takes too long, but having two TVs (now) means you can’t record all the matches.
You’re probably gonna have to ask dlimited on that one. You live in AR? Want to game with us?
I went to Bemanistyle because I wanted to hook up my Beatmania controller with LR2 and they were talking about lag. Turns out there was a link to an input lag tester program made by University of Calgary (http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~cheguo/Files/InputLagTestor.zip) that tests for input lag. It said mine was consistently 17 ms (which they said is due to NVIDIA drivers I think; btw, are you using NVIDIA drivers Jeremy?). Anyway, if you don’t mind, I’ll let you help me with syncing my pad to Stepmania since you said it’s a little bit off.
I just did this earlier today actually. It seems Vista and Windows 7 have some issues with the usb hub and my nforce chipset. Also, I’ve found out something REALLY strange. If you make these changes to your usb poll rate using the test mode of windows 7 to run unsigned drivers it DOESN’T translate over a network. In other words, the change is local if that makes any sense whatsoever.
Anybody up for some casual matches with me and Blake today?
Gotta learn how to use a fight stick before super comes out. I’ve been using the pad for too long now. I’ve decided to move on up to the big leagues and really lay some smackdowns , to bad I cant seem to get a certain grip style down. Nothing feels quite right, sometimes I have trouble executing specials during movement, then sometime I have trouble dashing…anyone know of a tutorial video or some "learning how to use a fight-stick’ tips to help me out?
Maybe, what time?
Anybody think we might be able to put something together for tomorrow. Casuals or something? I’m pretty much able to go wherever the game is, and will be happy to drag along my 360 and my stuff if needed.
This is CleverGhost! Thanks to DisturbinglyZen (I am the friend who bought the Fight Stick) I am bringing the El Fuerte Love to Arkansas! If you’re on PSN, I would be happy to spar with some of you as my skills are super (yet not ultra!) scrub. I believe I have even seen panda on a few times.
Anyway, I bring a gift to celebrate the oncoming El Fuerte Madness Time!

Oh ok. Who’s dlimited? And I’m just interested on some ocasional matches Im more of a casual fighting game fan due to time issues but I can put on a descent match even without practice. Ill keep an eye on this board maybe I can meet wit u guys one day but yeah I’m a MvC2 player, a lil bit SF n KOF fan too
Sorry I didn’t reply earlier. There’s definitely a lot of thread on this. Let me see if I can point you in the right direction.
Here’s a few links:

Here’s some personal tips:
- Practice both sides a lot until you get your execution to 100%
- Find ONE grip and stick with it. Of course if it feels awkward, change, but don’t be looking for the perfect grip for the next 3 months. I prefer holding ball-top sticks with my pinky below the ball and the rest of my fingers above it. Mike prefers doing it Daigo style and having the ring finger and pinky both below the ball (I think that’s right anyway). There are a LOT of different styles. Whichever one you feel comfortable with is the one you should go for. You can be consistent with any method as long as you practice enough.
Hope that’s a good start, and hope to see you whooping some ass soon.
Let’s do it. Let me know. I have Judo from 3:30 to around 5:30 or so. I’m good after that. You in LR now or still in Cabot?
Haha, it’s good to have an Elf player here. Where do you live again (region or city)? I can add you to the list. Come on over and hang with us. We’ll level you up to Ultra in no-time haha.
EDIT: Scratch that, I can see your location on here haha. Hope you don’t mind, I added your location/gamertag to the master-list. Also, since you live so close, why not drop by for our Wednesday Night Fights?
Dlimited is basically the guy to go to for all things NorthWest AR. If you live up there, you can contact him to hang out and for meet-ups. We’re near central AR so it’s probably a long drive for you. We do have people that play those games though, so anytime you’re in town hit us up. Until then, hit up dlimited whenever you want to play.
I’m still in Cabot for now. But I can go to Conway or LR, or wherever, so if you wanted to get something going around 6:30ish, that’s cool. I know I can get cleverghost and maybe his roommate.
Sounds good. Let’s see what we can do. I think Sade lives in Cabot too if you want to carpool sometime with him.
EDIT: Or meet-up with him sometime.
EDIT2: I don’t think I can change the name of the thread without asking a Mod. I don’t think it’s worth it for a temporary change, but if everyone really wants to permanently change it to Hillbilly Hype! The New Arkansas Thread! then I can ask Shin.
Totally, and I have a ps3 I can bring. Might be able to grab my TV, but its a pretty big lcd, so I donno. Have to see how much room Zen has in his trunk lol
If sade wants to come too, I can meet him somewhere in Cabot. And, yes, ghost, I can fit your flatscreen in my car. Might take a minute to get it in and out of the trunk, but doable. MaxX, where would you want to meet up?
lol, Hillbilly Hype, thats hilarious. +1 Internets
Edit: We meeting in conway or lr?
We can meet at our place if you want. It’s where we usually have meetups so you’ll know for next Wed. If you want, I can PM you an address and my number. I wonder who else we can get. Anybody else on here interested?
I’m interested… but won’t know til early tomorrow though.
I’ll take a pm Smoke, just incase something happens and Zen can’t make it. I also know my room mate will be working at 4pm tomorrow.
