North Carolina Players XXIV: What's in your SF4 syllabus?

[loborine]

wow. You’re like the first person I’ve seen prefer PS3 online. Castle Crashers online was borked- but that was issue with the game. Metal Slug same I think. As for 360- the used 360’s have a huge failure rate, new ones have a lot lower one, and I’ve heard of newer model PS3’s breaking more then the older ones.

BTW GG to lobo and blackspade in HD- helped my game out some. Blackspade- you really do need to fix your connection- you give me more lag then the Japanese dudes I played in VF.

Lobo- your Ryu put me under a lot of pressure- I needed that.

NO problem… i have to agree, black spade… something MUST be done with the connection… i was missing wake up uppercut.and wake up super ALOT more… i dont know how the connection varies from a 4 player room…to ranked matches…but i never have that problem in ranked matches 2 vs 2…

either way good games… i like to play players who know what there doing…

Can’t really help it. our college doesn’t have a great connection for xbl .i live 5 minutes from him and still get a ton of frame skips. . .

Word. . i just noticed you’re the dude he invites usually. .

[The-priest]

i cant help it, this shitty school costs 25k a year and we cant get shit decent around here, the internet in class buildings is great, they dont give a shit about the students they just care about the money. Im on the student government board and trust me i have been pushing to get decent internet service but to no avail… nothing. I graduate this year so i really dont care anymore just have to put up with it till at the latest december of this year maybe sooner.

Oh yea would anybody be interested in coming to rocky mount for a tourney. I have access to student government funds and i can throw a decent fundraising event for the community in our large student center here on campus. I dont know the exact amount i can get but i can assure i can have free food and and extra cash to the pots.

Let me know whats good nc

Where was everyone last night at Fun Fun Fun? Mike “Parry” owned everyone with Akuma for 21 consecutive wins. He was doin’ some top tier EVO bullshit. He made everyone look like a parry/combo video…

EDIT: The Fun Fun Fun tournament games most likely will be Marvel, 3S, and maybe CVS

Unless they fix the controls i’m pretty sure the turn out for any tourney there would be like 4 people.

I’d go anyways, but too bad I can’t.

[Jon_Slayton]

don’t have their ports forwarded

Wait I was supposed to forward my ports for PS3? What ports do I forward?

I might just DMZ my PS3, but still, would be good to know the ports.

[Tenki_Sensei]

If online play still lags, even to a minute level then it still sucks “online” regardless whichever system you play on. The people who said HD is lagless sometimes on XBL is utter garbage, it might just seems it doesn’t lag, but forget about it… Bottom line is – AS LONG AS YOU’RE STILL DRIVING YO DUMBASS TO A TOURNAMENT, THAT’S CUZ IT STILL LAGS! Think with your fucking head instead your ego.

[Jon_Slayton]

I don’t think fighting games will really be enjoyable online for another generation or two of internet. We really need no lag for such a fast paced reaction based type game.

Aye, it’s only a factor of being able to play a human that it’s really good for. Even if it’s off by a few frames.

:wonder: I also have my PS3 DMZ’d. As for the ports, they are:[list]TCP: 80, 443, 5223, 10070-10080[*]UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658, 10070[/list] If you need a guide on doing it, here’s a simple one:

[Jon_Slayton]

Thanks man, appreciate it. DMZ ftw.

Hope the online for SF4 is better now with this.

Eh, looks fine. Just requires a lot more execution than other characters in order to match their combo damage. His damage is shit, and he gets hit harder than Gouki (a lot harder).

We’ll just have to see what fancy shit people can come up with on him.

[deadontime101]

did you see gouken’s yet…no where near has hard executionly wise and a fuck ton more damage from it.

edit: Did they take away our avatars? I don’t even see the option on the user cp anymore

[ryucross]

They disabled Avatars and Search due to the added strain on the server due to new people.

And can anyone with the US version of the game let me know if there is Japanese language option? The English voices I’ve heard don’t leave me enthused.

0 damage combos. . the new brokeness

[Roski]

Depends what you’re looking for,

If you look to continue just playing locals, PS3 should be fine. If you want a better calibre of online comp, 360. (more of the top SRK STHD players are on 360) Also it’s guaranteed 360 titles will not have worse netcode then PS3.

The one downside to 360 is you’ll need 2 sticks- a 360 stick, and a pS2/PS3 converter. I just got a PS3 stick that’s cheap, as there are no PS2 fighters I want to play anymore- and KOF I’m done with. (I don’t trust it for tourney until I play on it though, and it’s possible I may have to leave tourney scene due to work anyways)

kOF12 is on both systems, as is Tekken, Blazblue will likely be on both as well.

With the minimal amount that I’m going to play online…since I travel to tournaments, I’m going to want it free when I’m ready to play, since online sucks for fighting games no matter where or what you play on.

Get the experience at tournaments. Any lag whatsoever ruins the games for me.

Not counting discounts, going as cheap as I can think

Cost for PS3 = $400 + $60 (SF4) + $20-30 (good converter) = $490 + tax

Cost for 360 = $200 (arcade) + $60 (SF4) + $50 (Live Subscription) + $70 (new stick) + $75 (parts to make new stick not shit) + $20-30 (PS3 converter you’ll need for tournament anyway) = $485 + tax. Add $100 to get the Pro model that comes with hard drive and HDMI (you say now you don’t need HDMI and then 3 months from now you’re going to want it). That doesn’t include if you want to add Wi-Fi connectivity (~$100 for MS adapter, free on PS3). And as Mr. Mansour pointed out, risk of catastrophic system failure with 360 that puts you into Microsoft’s repair purgatory.

Awesome. :wgrin:

:tdown: [media=youtube]1ytCEuuW2_A[/media]. PSN connections are just as good. The only people I see complaining about PSN connections when I’m playing are people who are too cheap to pay for a good high speed connection, don’t have their ports forwarded or are playing online with a wireless connection. I always have great connections on MGO & wipEout HD all the time when I’m playing online.

[media=youtube]G8iOmVd1W_g&feature=related[/media], you can share your PSN game & expansion downloads for free with up to 5 other PS3s. :tup: So you’ll save money mooching games and add-ons off my PSN account. If Street Fighter 4 does release new characters via download, you’ll get them for free from me or others from your game sharing network. I have Jae, Kevin & Adam in mine. I saved a slot for you and Tony if he gets a PS3.

:wonder: Also Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is really good, and Uncharted: Among Thieves, Kill Zone 2, X Edge & God of War III are a couple that will all be coming out this year…

You already have my stick and converter so there’s no need to waste money getting those like you would if you got a 360. Since the PS3 is region free, you’ll be able to get games in the future that may only come out in Japan and play them on your PS3 without modding it. This is kind of a stretch but you’ll probably save money on entry to fees to Roski’s tournaments if are providing your PS3 for tournaments. Last time I heard, the 360 has a 33% chance of RRoDing on you, so you’ll spend more time bragging about “how much better online is” while you’re waiting on Microsoft to send you another 360 and crossing your fingers that your new one doesn’t RRoD on you. The Xbox 360 Arcade you’re referring to doesn’t have a hard drive in it (I think it has a 256 MB memory card) so good luck saving all your downloaded characters and other add-ons for SF4 and other games on that. As for “better community” on 360, you have just as many people on PSN and 360 cussing at you, dropping on you and using racial slurs on you, the only difference is you don’t have to pay for it on PSN. All in all, the PS3 is the better choice and despite it’s more costly base price you’ll save more money in the long run with the PS3… dood.

:tup:

get both… I don’t have to pick or choose but I still get stuck reading a shit load of posts about what one sucks endlessly.

This is not feasible for me AT ALL, and I’d guess probably a few others.

[edmondantes]

dell has 20% off both xbox and ps3, check out slickdeals for details

0 damage combos. . the new brokeness

to be honest i dont really think hes broke, i just dont like his ass(dural imitation), his combos did decent damage to me
