The Street Fighter 3poxy Strike: Everybody at home but SF5 doesn't have Netcode

Yeah, I ain’t gonna build a PC for AAA titles. Seems like it’s a 50/50 that whatever studio was responsible for the port shits the bed and the game is unplayable at launch, or it comes out months after the console launch.

I’d get a PC for indy games and FGs, specifically Skullgirls, them fighin’ herds, and die kyanta fight 2.
None of those would need much to get them running smooth as butta

2nd Impact is visually and acoustically better than 3S. Don’t trip.

What’s the specs for your system now?

2010 Macbook pro lol. I also have a 2015 mac mini, which was the year they discontinued it, but they just brought it back, which I’m stoked on, it’s a great machine

Both of those can run FightCade, so you can at least play those games online, and on rollback.

I was just about to ask if there was anything I could play on a Mac. I’ve always just assumed everything was pc like back in the day.

FightCade and Steam 30th runs fine.

RedGGPO is the best netcode out of both, and the Devs are working on getting Mac support for it.

Here’s the link to the Discord server where the Devs are and you can ask questions:

Just remembered that the Breakaway mechanic in MK11 is trash though. Breaking out of a combo, and punishing the attacker was a problem in the beta and i’m surprised it’s still an issue.

Last night, I broke out of one of Scorpion’s combo (which he landed fair and square), and I KB D2’d him and followed up with an amplified grounded square wave for stupid damage…

I also just realized that any decent Kitana combo is a juggle so yeah, not sure how much more MK11 i’ll Play lol.

Looking forward to 3S/ST tonight, but to be honest, I’m not having much luck with randoms in those games, and the lack of filters and options make it worse. I may just stick to lounges with you guys and finding people on Discord or something

He can run the games.

The problem is getting the Hitbox to work on the mac.

Can’t relate. Pad gang. :triumph:

I see. There’s gotta be hacks out there to solve the issue. If nothing else, play on the Magic Keyboard lol

Exactly she struggles to open people up then you confirm into lift and they breakaway immediately lol. So annoying.

They don’t have 30A on mac, and I couldn’t get any controller to work on SGs.

Not even a PS4 pad. Might try it again later. But I prefer having big ol buttons that I can mash the living shit out of. 30mm buttons are much better for mashing than a button on a pad

Apple, not even once. :rofl:

Let me know if you figure it out.

You actually have better odds with the Hitbox. Good luck.

I think my 80 year old grandpa is using his recent retirement to take chess lessons. My last loss to him until this week was like 20 years ago, but now he’s wiping the floor with me. I’m mad as fuck.

Gotta quit FGs for a while and get back to practicing chess again in other words.

Great info, I was pretty ignorant on this side of things

Was the controller problem just SG or Mac in general?

DO IT.

You’ll come back a better FG player for it. I remember my gameplay was ridiculous when i was actively studying Go.

It always lets jump back in with a new perspective.

Just SGs. I’ve played lots of MAME stuff with my hitbox before, no problem

Now that’s weird.

Did you try configuring it on Steam’s Big Picture?

No lie, chess is the shit. Last time I played though, I ended up with a black eye…

Was playing in a park with a buddy who a couple of my other buddies didn’t like.

My chess buddy’s back was to them as they were throwing around a frisbee…

Eventually, they tossed it at the back of his head and my dumb ass told him to duck without realizing I needed to do the same.

Im stupid af and it’s no wonder why I suck at FGs lol
