While I’m sure you can learn to overcome that, I’d be willing to bet you the stick is actually part of what’s going on there. If I recall correctly (and maybe I don’t?) you’ve got an octagonal restrictor gate on your HRAP; nevertheless I find conventional SF motions to occasionally be really difficult on any kind of Sanwa stick. I think VF’s popularity is the only reason the HRAP is Sanwa by default; I could be off here, but I remember reading once that most 3D and GG cabinets are Sanwa in Japan and the SFs are usually Seimitsu. If someone up there has a Seimitsu you can borrow when you play 3S, I’d be willing to bet you’d hit that shit every time, because I have the exact same problem.
It cuts both ways too, I never miss Baiken’s 23696K on Sanwa or P360 and it’s impossible for me on Seimitsu.

Oh snap, I thought you said it was going to be in Minnesota. In that case, hells yes I’ll run it. When I went 2 years ago, that place was great, so this year maybe we can keep that shit real.

Ahh, good to know, sir. You know, I just fixed my broken HRAP from way back when, so maybe I’ll order a Seimetsu stick for it and have the best of both worlds, eh?
Who has a Seimetsu stick in Columbia, anyway?

So I might actually be up in Champaign on the 12th now… sweet.
yea, i think we should publicize the tourney. people have said they would come if there was a champaign tourney. ill let you know all the info (date) when it all gets figured out. scott can be in charge of the rules. threads in srk and dustloop would be a good idea too. it’d prolly be best if scott or yosh made the thread since they’re “well-know” but wait until i know the date.
I might make a thread later on. And Jerry, I only piss off well-known idiots from around the country, none of whom would travel here for a tourney anyway.
