Speaking of last Thursday, are we going to try and do it again this Thursday?
I was just curious about the whole Scandia thing. I didn’t know it’s been a problem for a while, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought it up. I guess Scandia is just a lost cause.
Also, A-Rival, I have a modded SF:AC stick which has an American layout and is heavier so it shifts less when you play on it. I’ll try to bring it next time and hopefully you’ll enjoy playing on that more than on on the lighter, Japanese/American hybrid sticks.
Sorry if I came off like a dick. It’s just an annoying situation that’s all.
You’d think after all the various tournaments thrown there by the 707 guys, the turnouts for those (plus most casual Friday nights) and the dedication everyone had that Scandia would start listening right?
I’m down for Thursday if the powers that be (Dark) want to hold it again.
As far as Scandia goes, why don’t Tony and the few other guys that were there ever post on the boards, or for that matter show up on Thursdays? It’s hard for me to justify spending that much money on games anymore. I spent quite a few years pumping hundreds of dollars worth of tokens/quarters into machines. I’ve only recently done it at Scandia because of my awareness of the new people that play in Sonoma. Personally I’d rather play at someones house once a week then attempt to guess when competition will be at Scandia, and have to pay 50cents atop that.
I thought the sticks that were there were much easier to use than I once believed. I will say that when I was playing 3S I thought it was kinda hard to due c.mk > SA2 with chun li due to the sticks being so light. When I use my MAS stick I know that shits not going anywhere and can buffer supers easily. That being said I might actually spring for one of those smaller sticks you guys had.
This Thursday I really want you guys to go hard on me on SF3, I want to get better at that game badly. Asian we need to hammer out some more CVS2, when I think about it we really didn’t play much CVS2.
Super Puzzle Fighter 2, I think we have on lock.
I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say that the first player side of MvC2 is “unplayable”, at least not as of the last two or so times I’ve played on it, but I definitely think that it’s a lot worse than the other side. The stick just doesn’t feel quite right on the bottom half of the motion range turning it around, and while I’m not generally just awful on bad sticks because I usually keep my control demands low-tech (which is part of why I do so, so that I fail on bad sticks less than my opposition does), it still ought to be addressed.
What bothers me more than that about MvC2’s machine there is that somebody has set the clock speed way, way too slow. Let’s be real… I’m a turtle-minded player in MvC2. There is no team I use in this game with any proficiency that is even capable of killing even the most reeking scrub with 85+ still left on a normal-speed clock. I could perfect someone and still burn the clock down into the 50s. Let’s just get that straight. Win or lose, SOME matches played with me involved are GOING to go to timeouts on a normal clock. At Scandia in these last few weeks, I’ve never seen a game end with the clock below 45. If you want to run tourneys on this thing, that plus the stick have to get fixed.
Personally I hate the P360 sticks. Why do people like those fucking things? Do they break less or something? My MAS stick is like 8 years old and the shit works perfectly, on some of those Scandia sticks I could swear that their DB fails to register.
And Stilt is right, never noticed until he said something, but that clock is like 1 game second per 4-5 real life seconds. Although not a big deal to me as I don’t play much run-away.
Stilt you should try and come by on Thursday, I love playing marvel for free, and during the downtime at least I can play CVS2 and learn 3S.
I should try to fix my sticks. I’ve been leaving them to rot as of late. I think I’ll replace the sticks with p360s and call it a day.
Now I gotta find the sticks for less than $50. :-/
EDIT: I usually use supers, but on home sticks, my supers feel like butt. Maybe cause they’re not worn in?
To properly answer this question we’d need to know the asses in-which you’ve touched, and thus are now referencing.
When I was using the sticks on Thursday, I felt that if I tried to super I’d accidentally throw the shits across the room. I put a lot of body motion behind my supers. Fuck I must look like a tard.
I was at scandia today and yesterday, mexican alex showed up we both agree the 1p side has gotten worse from friday to now. I dont know how willing the tech will be to help us, seeing as what happened, and now that the security is on our ass the whole time.
No worries. I remember that you guys were talking about something like this right before Dark Symphony starting hosting his get togeters, so I was wondering where that went.
If you’re talking about a p360, I have one that I can sell you for $40 or something. Mind you I won’t be back until May, but if you still need it, you’re welcome to mind. It’s barely used and it has a USB cable soldered to it. You’ll have to trouble shoot it, though. The reason it’s not in my stick is because I never got it to work. That said, you’ll probably be better off finding one from someone else. Then again, I could have completely misinterpreted your post.
what’s the system situation at nick’s pad? you guys need anything extra brought on thursday? i know nick’s got the crazy library, but if you guys need extra copies of anything brought over, i can bring stuff. i’ve got my two custom happs sticks i could bring around too, but i know that some of you guys weren’t as comfortable with them. i think the sticks are a little too loose for everyone’s tastes. i’ll bring that t5 stick for you too, spanky.
and yeah, me and daniel were at scandia the other night and it was funny seeing security post up near guilty gear and start eying our every movement.
This Thursday I think we should have 3 tv’s going CVS2, 3S, and MVC2, I might only have one of my MAS sticks this Thursday though, so we’d need at least one more DC stick.
Rival you got to play sf4 and are holding out!!! For shame!!! SHAME!!!
Word. I know I played a lot of CVS2 with Wen, Nick, Terry and Shake before everyone got there. I was really tired later in the night that’s why I didn’t play as much.
You are way good at CVS2 and there seems like an endless amount of things I need to learn ala stop jumping so much.
So Dan not to pry but could you PM me the situation going on at Scandia. Why is security watching us now?
P.S: Sam is a Puzzle Fighting ringer. I know it.
Alright, thanks Kris. I’ll let you know if I’m making it on thursday. As of now, things look good, but you never know.
Definitely.
The plan is to go for every Thursday, as long as it remains feasible.
this week still a no go, with school, but next week spring break so hopefully i can do this.
Joe is ibuki4life on here. jai posts. Tony has an account but has never used it. Jaime doesn’t have an account, and mexican alex doesn’t have an account. Its mahvel baby, where you at?
My philosohpy on “What someone can bring to make sure we have enough things” is just bring whatever you want to make sure is there. You never know what’s going to be forgotten, missed, lost or scratched, so might as well play it safe.
Just bring it all.
THIS Thursday I think i’m going to move a TV out of my room (one of two) so we can have 3 games going simultaneously. Just another regular@$$ tlevision so don’t expect, like, super good quality or something. I’m just dreading putting my PS2 on the flat screen because I know I won’t be able to go back to regular old TV after I do for ANY games in my room.
Let’s see… I think someone’s bringing that craptasticly forumulated, @$$ for defensive options and zero reward for predicting your opponents Smash Brothers Brawl game. I’ve decided not to play that game seriously ever again because it’s… not put together good.
Anyway, we’ll have the big 3 going Thursday (Marvel, 3S and CVS2). I’ll see about finding a 4th TV for these things that can be used for that random@$$ game someone feels like throwing out.
Did I get the word on Scandia? Let me check my PMs.
Oh yeah, and if you know someone who’s being a big gay and not posting or at least lurking here, give them the heads up about Thursday.
Hopefully we get another good turnout.
I’ll be there. I’ll see who I can get to tag along with me.
Hakuto No Ken anyone? That’s right! Fist of the North Star tourney!!! YEAH!!! But really, someone needs to get that, I can’t find it anywhere. (Haven’t looked too hard.)
Can we run some Guilty Gear matches thursday? I want to play some Testament. Or Guitar Hero.
Alex, we have to play Brawl on WiFi
