RIP Billy Mays and X3O...MD/VA post X3O gathering thread

LOL. If my bro comes he should be able to do Ken’s hard trials for ya too. Viper’s are easy peasy for me cuz I’ve done them plenty of times.

^Ask him please. The messed up thing is, is that I did hard trial #5 just playing around while doin #4, lmao. Not to mention I have SF4 on both systems so I have to do it 2x, and I dont think I’ll be bringin my Ps3 up x30, haha…maybe

That restaurant shit was hilarious. Good shit Dan. HAHA :rofl:

And yeah Tuesday and Wednesday sound good. Lets Get Hype God Damnit!!!. Tired of ppl Not coming out!!

I should be there both days, i’ll bring my sticks, and 360 game if needed

Random question but, If anyone has a JLF and some Sanwa buttons OBSF 30’s I’ll gladly pay because i’m trying to mod my stock ps3 SE. The TE for 360 is all good, but the stock SE needs some work LOL.

I’d buy online but it’s estimated to take around 3 weeks just to get a confirmation. And i’m trying to get the shit set before evo :stuck_out_tongue:

Sup peeps! I’ll try to come out either tue or wed. I’ll post up when I know for sure. Also if some things work out for me I might be able to go to Renegade’s tourney. I also might be able to give rides if it isn’t too far out of the way for me. All I ask is for a little gas money. I’ll post up when I know for sure.

Peace

I might be able to do the Ken trials. I did most of them, the only characters I know I finished though are Akuma/Ryu/Rufus. I think I’m 4/5 on hard with at least a half dozen characters (Dan, Gief, Ken, Gouken, Rog, Gen, and a couple others)…

And I might be going down to Renegade’s tournament, working shit out with the parents to see if I can take the car (it’s not mine, gotta be careful!) but if so I could supply rides for 2-3 people if you pitch in for gas.

so whos actually going tommorrow.

Imma come wednesday

I will be able to go both days depending on how much hype this gets. Im not trying to go again to realize there’s like only one other person there.

I had to play on pad for like an hour yesterday, then me and Dan decided to just leave early and have an epic fail at a restaurant LOL.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LEVEL UP MY KIDS!!

I’ll stop by around 6 tomorrow and see if people are there. Definitely there on wednesday though.

I can’t do Tue. I’ll come out Wed.

wednesday for sure.

tuesday is possible but don’t quote me on that! :coffee:

btw they use Samsung DLP HDTV 50"

if you have been reading up on TVs, you know that these are the worst. Though still if we have someone thats good at testing video lag then maybe its not bad at all.

They’re pretty bad i think. I think the TVs are pretty old too. So it’s probably even worse. I kinda get used to the delay after a while (which is good? bad?)

Laggy TV’s? How you all been putting up with this for so long? :wtf:

Do I have to bring anything if I want to play some not-SF4 on a not-Laggy TV?

it would help if i knew the model number but all nick told me was it was a Samsung DLP 50"

Pat bring your smaller tv :smiley:

btw maybe thats why i keep missing em throws after i do my slide. Or maybe i really did get hit outta those

If you throw Guilty Gear on to one of those TVs I can tell you the lag to an accuracy of 1-2 frames (maybe)

xboxlive is down for 24hrs!!! IM gonna rip my non-existing hair out!!!. We better do something at x3o tomorrow.

mmm…?

LIVE is out for a whole day…?

Urg, I might have to come up and play then.

As much as I dislike SF4, I do not want to sit at home playing the CPU all day.
Plus I can’t play RockBand without LIVE…I might roll up then.

What other games can be brought so there are other options?

Live sucks shit, last night was infuriating.

Words cannot describe my anger when losing to some of the people I lost to. SHORYUKEN!

IMO the lag is no worse than the TV’s at UMBC. Typical HD lag which people have played on in tournaments before this. Final Round didn’t have a lag free HDTV in sight but there were definitely TV’s that were “playable” and a random couple TV’s where you would hit left or right on the character select screen and count to half a second in your head before the cursor moved. That’s bad lag. The character select cursor on the X3O TV’s move around the same time as you press on the stick. So however bad these TV’s are…apparently there’s worse being used at tournaments (unless they didn’t have correct settings on the TV or something). Most HDTV’s do have some kind of lag but the lag is like a really good connection on Xbox Live. If it is there it’s pretty minimal and I can actually do stuff like close s.MP, c.MP, HJC Ultra with Viper that’s like impossible in bad lag.

I’m looking into purchasing an Evo monitor in the future since they’re lag free, look good and don’t take up much space. We could easily use these for tourneys in the future. If anyone wants to bring a regular CRT tv or an Evo quality monitor please feel free to do so. Other than that the TV’s are pretty playable and you would only really feel the lag if you played 3rd Strike or something on it. I’ve never been able to play PS2 3rd Strike on an HDTV without insane lag. I remember playing Guilty Gear on an HDTV and that was also pretty terrible.

Especially if you’re trying to play last generation games you should bring a CRT. I can call to see if they have any regular TV’s there. It’s possible that they don’t since HDTV’s are all the rage with the kids these days.
