I’m not going to make it tonight either, sorry guys!
Psh…you knew I was bringing my Dan and you’re scared :-p haha j/k but you better not fail now!
double weak
Simon, Ray and Angel are here.
I’ll be heading out probably in about half an hour
GGs yesterday. Panda had some nice non-scrubby Ken action that I’ll admit I wasn’t prepared for. I did get him to lob out a couple shoryukens though, but granted they are well placed and weren’t full-screen.
If it looked like my Dhalsim was crazy random at times, it’s because I’m not use to playing on a stick (although I loved playing on them.) I don’t jump nearly that much with him.
And my apologies to anyone frustrated with my keep-away Blanka. The more I play SF4, the more I’m convinced that’s how Blanka is best played. Hopefully they’ll fix that in Super.
i was thinking about coming up here with holyrobot sometime soonish,
but i dont have a stick and dont plan on learning how to play on stick.
just wondering if it would matter if i played on pad or not.
you guys play on 360 or PS3???
PC. You don’t have to learn to play on stick but it’s kind of an inconvenience to have to plug/unplug controllers every match. You should really give it a shot as some things like FADC or piano inputs are nearly impossible on pad. (karas too).
Plus if you ever play in arcade you are boned as you wont be able to use a pad.
there was all kinds of pads available today
Man Slash, holy robot, and ronnicle are showing up to this. Im going to have to show up now or i’ll be the salem bitch and we cant have that.
GGs.
Couldn’t go to Panda’s, tired as hell.
Slash, hit me up if there’s still room for the trip next week.
Angel, we need to carpool.
Sounds like you had fun.
I’m jealous.
/sadface
If the weathers clear next time I’ll try to make it but Im not about to wait 30 minutes for each bus. Blech.
I take it that it is fine then, dont you have to plug in sticks as well?
i have no trouble with FADC or kara moves on pad.
i gotta go up there and make sure Salem is being properly represented:smokin:
im not even sure if im going.
its really up to holyrobot if he would be willing to let me roll out with him.
Not really, usually everyone just uses whatever sticks are plugged in.
oh i see.
well i guess im looking for an official yes or no as far as playing on pad goes.
Not my house, not my rules, and even if it were I wouldn’t say no.
It’s just an inconvenience to have to swap sticks/pads every match.
Not the end of the world though.
So yes, it’s fine to play on pad =).
thanks!
would anyone know if it would be fine to play on pad in the ranbats?
id like to know this before signing up.
Yes. People are more inclined to let people have things set up however they want when it comes to tournament structure. Be that preferred console, controller, or TV/Monitor.
In casuals people are less tolerant of constant switching because it eats up time that can be used to practice.
Something to bear in mind (and this is something EVERYONE has heard from me at some point); you can’t always have your ideal setup. Sometimes the console we’re playing on (or pc in some cases) won’t support the use of your stick or pad or controller. Sometimes you’re playing on western or japanese sticks. Sometimes you’re using what you’ve got. As someone who started out on pad, then got used to western, then had to get used to Japanese sticks, I strongly recommend people get used to whatever someone puts in front of them. This is a really good way to get better and it ensures that when you go the arcade or for some reason your controller doesn’t work you aren’t screwed.
Otherwise you end up in a situation where “Well I can beat people as long as Jupiter is aligned with Venus and it’s a solar eclipse”.
I speak from personal experience here, (as I can’t play 3s on japanese sticks for shit) so just some food for thought.
alright, sweet deal!
looks like im signing up then!
and thanks for the advice, if for some reason i was forced to play on stick i would suck it up and try my best.
We can’t even get Jeromie to play on stick haha.
Don’t worry, I wouldn’t force anyone to play in any certain way.
I would give motherly nags though.
I do that.
