Oh yeah. I’ll be coming with everyone else to Regency on Friday night, and at around midnight, me, sh0g0 and the other staff members at Interf@ce and Family Fun will open up Interf@ce for midnight practice while we set up video capture stations for CvS2 and 3s in the back, and to make ABSOLUTELY SURE our hardware is good and/or broken in. If you guys want to practice more after Regency closes (i don’t know when it does) then please, drop by and get used to the sticks and stuff. ^_^b
Regency is bomb cept for one major thing - the joysticks and buttons are terrible, and I’m positive it’s not just me. There could be even more competition on Fridays than there is now (which is pretty good all things considered) if the joysticks/buttons were replaced with like, anything else. Nothing is necessarily broken I don’t think, but it’s just that the joysticks are really bad (diagnols are really hard to find, dashing = jumping) and the buttons don’t seem to register double button presses half the time (people always messing up airdashing/flying/supers)… it reminds me of the equipment that was used at B5, if any of you remember that. And I know you guys all know what I’m talking about because I see everyone messing up all the same shit.
So yeah if KENNYWOOD can give some sort of input to management or Bailon or someone about this, that would be great. Cause seriously, it seems to me that this is the only thing holding this place back.
Or am I just whining? Post feedback!
(btw I’m talking mostly about Marvel, not sure how 3s or GGXX are)
I, and other players, brought it to the attention of Steve the Manager, during the last tournament. He told me he tried changing the sticks on the games, and still the same problem. It seems that the cabinets aren’t working well with the games, so he’s trying to get more showcase cabinets, like the ones that 3rd Strike, kof2k3 and SS5 are on, for CvS2 and MvC2. I’ll bring it to his attention once more though. The good thing is that Management knows and they’re trying to do something about getting better cabinets. As soon as i find out something, i’ll post about it.
I just got back from there tonight, and it seems to me that yeah, EX attacks on 3s (2 button presses) are screwy. From what Clockw0rk says, I’m guessing that either their ground wires are fucked up, the power source wiring sucks ass, or (maybe more likely) the power source for those showcases just isn’t strong enough. That should solve the problem.
yes, clockwizzle is right. sometimes when you’re holding down back and magneto dashes in, you can’t block it. and i know because THAT THE ONLY DIRRECTION i was holding. Or with sentinel he will flash then go down, so that means he got hit by on short, and if it weren’t for super armor he wouldn’t block it at all. So if that shit happens to others characters, that means gg because assist are called out around that time. And everyone stills play on the big screen where this happens all the time and not the small screen which is a lot better imo. So ppl are forced to play there to have comp, because nooone ever on the little machine cept the computer. Unfly is also hard to do sometimes, and fast fly. sometimes you gotta to it 2-3 times fo it to come out. That’s not very thug of the controls to do that.
Nope … KOF 2k3 command inputs are TOTALLY fucked up … it doesnt matter if they are on showcase cabinets or more.
Whatever … I dunno how much bucks they spent on buying KOF 2k3 … but with those shitty sticks … it was a really bad investment.
RESPECT THE PLAYERS FOR GODS SAKE … we are not just small kids that want to have some fun on a weekend playing DDR, pimballs and fighting games by mashing the buttons ala tekken or SF noob scrub style … we play to be the best … geez.
