The Starbase Arcade Thread: $5 wednesday night 3pm - 11pm

I just want to say I think putting in your custom cab is a great idea. It’s really great that you’re supporting a scene for the Marin area. We certainly need it. And thanks, Los for talking to RedBaron about freeplay wednesdays. I’ll definitely try to make it if I have the time.

GGs tonight. I gotta work hard on combos and shit.

Don’t we all… Definitely gg’s to you and everyone else. Come through soon if your schedule permits.

Stopped by yesterday afternoon with my girlfriend to get some games of SFIV in.

Buttons, Monitor and such were fine. I would switch out the sticks if possible though. They are a little too stiff and make back dashing a little sluggish (among other things)

Well, we had TE sticks at free play night. Were those yours, Los, or yours Jos? Both? Well whoever it was, thanks for bringing them.

Could be both. I know Jose and Los both have TE sticks.

I just got an Xbox 360 TE maybe a month ago.

Yeah, I agree that the sticks are not ideal. TE’s are the way to go. One was mine the other was Hooman’s. Jose brought a backup.
Was pretty fun, you should try and come out one Wed. Frankie. We need Seth practice.

On a side note, StarBase on CollegeHumor: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1923413

im definitely going to make it this wednesday. any other fighting games at starbase? 3S hopefully?

No 3s, unfortunately. StarBase gamelist

Stinks that it’s on a Wednesday. I always work Wednesdays from 6-11:30p :frowning:

I might have to try and change it soon.

Maybe I can talk to Bob hooking up a (mine?) PS2 to a spare TV or something for Free Play Wednesday.

Freeplay Wednesdays

It’s tomorrow! I will be there with my Laptop at around 930 so we can have 2 SF4 setups if we need it. I also have 3rd Strike via MAME but for some reason MAME doesnt like TE sticks?

Crappy shift tomorrow. Won’t be able to join you guys.

Someday :frowning:

I need Seth practice against…

Los’ Rog
Hooman’s Honda
Jose’s Gief

What’s your schedule like Friday evenings? We’ve been hitting up SF state and SVGL for the last few weeks. It’s been fun and we’re leveling up. This Fri I have to make it an early night so just SFS but if you’re ever free on Fridays just holler.

I’m down for coming tomorrow night, first time I shoot out there, my stick is PS3/PC compatible, do I have to bring my own?

Need some practice!

nah, you don’t have to bring your own. We should have two TE’s available.

GGs tonight. I learned a lot (walk up throw is too powerful in this game. That shit needs to get nerfed. That and Los).

Also, to Bob, I don’t know if you read this thread, but, admittedly, you should probably take our stick suggestions with a grain of salt. If you’re making enough money off of your set up, there’s really no reason to change. That said, you might be able to solve the tricky diagonal inputs of the p360s by making a custom actuator that’s slightly larger than the one that you have on the sticks already. I’m not totally sure, but I think you just want to make it so that the stick trips the optical switches more easily.

GG’s to you and everyone else. Frankie came in late but we were finally able to get some Seth practice in. So that was good.

Yeah, those sticks are not the best for us hardcore players but the casuals love them. And we can always use our sticks so it’s the best of both worlds.

F Zangief and dash ultras!

GG’s to everyone tonight. Showed up REAL late. Sorry I wasn’t able to get any games in against you Terry. I dropped off two my friends off from work, when I realized Starbase was still open.

Hooman: Your Honda is too serious
Los: I hate the Rog/Seth matchup
Jose: Punish that j.fp

I’m hoping to get my normal Wednesday schedule changed in 2 weeks, so I can come play/kick it with you guys. Sorry my Seth was on and off tonight. I’ve been practicing a lot of the Dive Kick mixups etc.

MORE SETH!!

Yo, Los, what do you think about in terms of Boxer defense? Especially against jump ins and other meaty attacks? Build meter before hand, use EX Dash Punches? I don’t really know what to do since his regular headbutt is lousy compared to HDR Headbutt.
