chojin got rocked by HOS
holy shit man, please block high and punish bandit revolver, he owned you so hard with that.
Orka, you really do have some issues but then again, nice quote; I should use it myself…
For my arcade stick, I think, the button are getting messed up, I switched the wire but I noticed after a while that R1 was still dropping input time to time, about 5% of the time. so I don’t know if I should get new button or not; and I have also noticed that my L2 button gets stuck from time to time, so maybe it is just something inside the stick that has more and that I need to refix or something.
Any advice on what I should do, please let me know.
hey guys, i know that i have about zero say in anything in the club, seeing as i’m not, well anything, but i just wanted to voice my opinion on some things:
first off, chris i think it’s good that you stepped up when others wouldn’t to assume the role of president. it takes alot of character to take charge of anything, be it large or small. just work a bit on your communication; there are others here to help you with your endeavors, so you don’t have to feel like you’re carrying all of the weight by yourself. there’s no shame in asking for help. as far as advertising for events goes, that ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE a group effort. uchiphop holds an annual bboy battle (IL Breaks) which is particularly high-key in the bboy culture, but even that requires ALL of us to pool our resources and get it spread and known. whoever the secretary of the group is should start having things like this thought out in advance. even though you may not know exactly when each tourney is going to be held, you know that they are, in fact, held, and quite regularly at that. just be ready for them; have ideas for flyers and things before the day of, you know? it’s alot easier to run in on a pop-fly than out, if you know what i mean. by the way, never once have any of you guys asked for my help with anything. i have lived here my whole life, and know so many people it’s not even funny. need flyers? hell, there’s a girl i breakdance with whose a graphic design major!!! she does all of uchiphop’s flyers, and they’re always GREAT. all that i’m saying is that the moment you all decided to start taking money from the university for your group you became a team. you need to make sure at all times that you understand and help each other. if not, then this club ends when you all leave and graduate. i personally think that’d be a shame; you guys have started a great thing, just make sure that your hearts and thoughts are in the right place. in the end, however, you as individuals all decide your own level of involvement…no one else, YOU. anyway, that’s all i got. the neglector’s spoken…
well after reading that monster of a paragraph. james, ur still up for being secretary right? i ll help with the flyers n all for the next tournament. i do want to see this club survive.
and yosh, not all girls have a great set of bubz. take a look at the old and the ugly.
What kind of stick is it? If it’s a T5, those are actually a huge pain in the ass to fix because the contacts on the microswitches are directly soldered to the PCB. If you’re using a Real Arcade Pro or a custom stick though those are generally easy to mod.
I know how this is going to sound but I worked at an arcade for a couple of years and generally the best fix we had for buttons that are physically sticking is to spray the area in between the button and the bezel with Windex and mash the shit out of it. I’d make sure the stick is unplugged if you try that, and give it some time to dry – we always did it while the cabinets were running so I don’t think there’s much risk, but the way arcade control panels are laid out you aren’t going to have Windex dripping on to the PCB, which might actually happen with a home stick.
edit: Nevermind, I just saw you were talking about messing with the wires so it can’t be a T5. It sounds to me like the microswitch in the R1 button is going bad if you rewired it, the other possibilities are a cold solder joint – but it’s unlikely since you already messed with the wiring? – and a problem with the PCB. I’d swap the button out if it’s Japanese, if it’s American maybe just get a new cherry switch.
did you guys see the vids on game chariot that came out like today???
man ABA owns hard, no wonder she is S tier, superb range and stuff, and crazy combos.
for my stick, well I think I am going to try to switch the button with the taunt button and see if that work; I will probably do that right after my exam ( I have 3 this week).
I don’t understand. Ur, currently known as the mankind’s earliest city, was located in Mesopotamia around 2600 BC. So how could they have an arcade cabinet? And even if they did have one, it would be so priceless that I doubt Neil would have one, not that he would ever risk bring it down here if he did.
Even in the extremely unlikely event that an ancient arcade cabinet from Ur did make it’s way down here, we would most certainly not be allowed to play on it. I doubt it would even be in working condition after nearly 5 millennia.
Bringing down a whole cabinet (unless someone wants to buy an Atomiswave Sit-Down from me) is a bit of a chore.
The Naomi has VGA output, though, so it’s possible that I could rig up some sort of supergun-ish setup if I get another power supply, jamma harness, and control panel…
Until that happens, feel free to come by and play. Should have it in a bit over a week if everything goes well.
The second cab (the one I will end up keeping over here) has arrived just now. Now I just need to get that one up the stairs (ugh, dear god not again), get the other one down, and find someone who is in the market for an Atomiswave SD.
