Just to set the facts straight, I was playing with CB when we found it that first night. But when it was brought up, it turned out that the released beta was based on an old build and that bug had already been fixed. It’s too bad the Beta didn’t have the rest of the characters though. Would’ve been nice if T.Hawks non-active grabbing frames and other small things could’ve been fixed.
You’re misunderstanding my point. Obviously, some of these ST fans will speak badly of HDR now.
I’m just saying that based on an empirical measure of participation, some of these ST fans have been HDR’s biggest supporters. I’ve made no secret of judging people based on actions rather than talk. Honestly, I think anyone in a 3 hour vicinity of HDR events but not attending them are the folks who would like to see HDR die most, whether or not they say nice things about ST or HDR.
SUPRISE! this thread has turned into another fucking ST vs HDR argument!
i would genuinely like to see the purpose of this thread happen. in my opinion, its kinda the centerpeice of the gathering to have a cab with ST running. almost like an incentive to show up if you are into SF2 at all. where else can you go around here to play genuine arcade ST? regardless of which one is better…i wish mars said that HDR is welcome so he could have avoided this mess/and im sure it will be welcome if someone wants to bring it.
nearly 95% of the people posting in this thread dont live near PA/NJ, and arent going to show up anyway. so what does it matter to you guys that this is in the HDR forum? i dont see any threads for HDR gatherings around here, and dont even bother bringing up the regional matchmaking section cause that shit is ruled by SSFIV. i’ve tried and got 0 resposes. people that play HDR and or ST dont go to those threads. they come here, and sometime the ST section. do we really need this bickering considering how low the traffic to the HDR and ST sections have become?
^^The problem is not really ST vs HDR. The ST community has been divided into Arcade vs Console since before HDR was released. With the lack of an Arcade scene in NA, and the largest national tourney being console-only, it only makes sense to support console for the near future. But Arcade doesn’t have to be abandoned either.
I think Mike’s point is that unless people have anything to contribute regarding the PA offline event (ST or HDR), we better not derail this thread. I wish you guys good luck.
Well honestly Mars, we shouldn’t hold the gatherings at your place for two reasons:
Space and Time constraints
Takes forever getting there and if u dint leave at a certain time u will be stuck there til morning.
The screens there are small.
… What I’m saying is let’s hold these gatherings at my place.
And the food stuffs around me stay open a long time.
where you at kevgeez? this gathering lost steam it appears. im still down to bring my astro cab with GMC or ST. also willing to have it at my place. how far is everyone from exit 8 on the NJ turnpike?
I don’t drive.
I’m about to get a new place
So I’m gonna have to put this on hold as well.
Late to the party, but…
I am new to the Philadelphia area, don’t really know anybody except for a few chaps I drunkenly conversed with at University Pinball over at the AE machine, but I am totally interested in any sort of HDR/ST or really any of the games the cool kids are playing (SSF4, MvC3, even MK). I handily prefer HDR over ST but I like playing both. I guess maybe the time has passed to truly stay on topic here, but if anybody wants to get together for some games in the area, let me know.
