dusts off hands done and done.
I looked up FM fancy town or whatever. What were they thinkin with that name? The SuperAcenter system has a game with Mao poppin his collar. I’ll post the pic tomorrow.
Would anyone like to buy a HORI real arcade pro EX for the 360 off me? I can bring it in it’s original box to the tourney, PM me and we can work something out.
It had an perfect port of Saturday Night Slam Masters. I really wanted one.
is ps3 going to be the norm for tournaments then? cuz im getting my sfiv stick for 360, hope i didnt make a bad choice in that…
national tournament = the standard
Standards have yet to be decided and will be decided by availability of consoles. More people said that they could bring PS3s to this tournament so we went with PS3. Justin, you don’t actually have a problem as it is possible to do a dual PCB mod for your 360 stick which means that regardless of whatever the standard is, it won’t affect you.
I might make it to this tournament, I’ll know for sure the week of the tournament. BTW SF4 has almost 30 people and the tournament starts at 6pm?
Indy, how well versed are you with modding buttons? I got a new HRAP for 360 and I’d like to throw in some Seimetsu buttons.
Putting buttons into a HRAP is like building a lego kit. If you’ve got the parts we can definitely get that done for you.
I actually think the X360 will be tournament standard in the future. As long as they dont RROD.
The reason the PS2/DC was the tournament standard last gen was because of the games that people played, played best on those two consoles. And people had Controllers/Adapters for those two. Also since the PS2 was the best selling console by a mile it got exclusives. And everyone had a PS2, so they could bring it to tourneys. This generation is much different.
This gen the X360 is the best selling console, (Wii not withstanding), by a long shot. All fighting games will come out for the X360. Sony has lost all exclusives when it comes to fighting games. In fact there are exclusives for X360, at least here in the states with Battle Fantasia. And KoF98UM for XBLA. Plus the X360 gets the better version of some games, i.e. VF5. And since so far every multi-console game the X360 version has been equal, or better then the PS3 version.
The only things that would stop the x360 from becoming tournament standard are:
-
RROD. Would suck for consoles to die during tourneys.
-
Everyone has PS2/PS3 sticks, or at least adapters. But really the only in production lag free one is the inPin, which you have to have the one guy on SRK to import it for you. And since most ppl own X360’s, people are gonna be modding the SE stick like mad.
-
The PS3 is region free. So if a game gets released only in japan, the PS3 would be the obvious choice. Or if there is a large gap in time before it gets released here.
Plus you can just get the MC Cthulhu like me and have one stick for everything.
And I’m not really bias, as I don’t own any of them, and I hate microsoft.
Humbag?
We should be able to get it started at least an hour earlier with the amount of systems there. Also a minimum of 2 games will be ran simultaneously. The mail goal is to get everybody there and signed up by 1. Last one a lot of folks couldn’t or didn’t make it till after 2 PM.
i agree thats why i asked if it was gonna be on ps3 only, and no offense, i think its stupid to just run new games on one system until you know for sure what the standard will be. personally i have a few friends that have ps3s and i know a shit load of ppl that have 360s. and 360 has the better online so with more systems out there and better online im assuming more ppl with have sf4 for 360 and hell even the ppl who are pad only have the option of gettin the sf4 pad but im not sure how good that will be…looks like the anniversary pad to me which wasnt too too bad but it wasnt the best ever. i think the best way to do sf4 would be group the ps3s and 360s together for the tourny and let ppl decide what they wanna play on when its time for them to play…if there is an argument maybe flip a coin but with all the adapters and sticks that will be there i dont know if there will be much arguing.
also starting a tourny early could cause problems if ppl are only comin for the sf4 tourny expecting it to start at 6 and you guys started it early…id just change the start times around before it gets to close to tourny time…maybe put that one in the middle cuz its gonna be the big tourny obviously so it will give the ppl who are late time to make sure they get there.
Anybody up for playing 3s at gameworks this tuesday?
I can go either 12-6 or 3-6 if anyone wants to get some matches in.
Also, I can bring my 360 and some sticks for sfiv/hdr matches on the 21st i you guys want. A lot of us DON’T CARE what console it’s on because its the SAME GAME. If you’re playing on sticks it doesn’t matter at all.
Neon Geon: As I stated earlier we had a whole bunch of people saying that they could bring PS3s. if everyone said that they could bring a 360 then we would run it on 360. Furthermore, should the need for more systems arise then you can bet that we’ll use the 360s. There really isn’t any favoritism here, it was decided solely by the availability of consoles which is what will decide the future standard as most games (online withstanding) are equal in a gameplay sense.
Then we should state that SF4 will start anytime between 4-6, so be there by 3:30 to get signed up.
So my DC’s ports are starting to go out. I’ve been playing it fairly extensively lately, and they are starting to “blue screen”. I’ll still bring it, but marvel players be warned.
Okay
Well if needed, I can bring my 360, if you’d like another station to run it on. I have a stick for it so I don’t care either way.
