Utah Thread: Arcade Edition @ GameGrid

HD is wonky on firefox. Is that just me?

all of the videos got uploaded last night. I was just too tired to give them proper titles and organize them. Doing that now.

Not sure Mike, I don’t use FF. I use IE 7.0 and it’s all good.

Damn you up already? haha, looks good dude. :lovin:

VERY INTERESTING POST CONCERNING CHAMPIONSHIP PATCH AND BALANCE OF CHARACTERS:

Not sure if these are all true but worth taking a peak at.

NVM: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=187326 Seems they did change Fei’s CW but not Gief’s Lariat. I doubt they will touch any of the arcade characters b/c that would affect the perfect port of the arcade characters however console only characters I can see them rebalancing

Hmm. I don’t get an HD option for IE. I thought that was because Google owns Youtube, etc. Guess I just need to update IE.

But it’s great to have 'em all up already. That’s awesome Matty.

Almost done with the videos. Next ranbat we really need to name the videos better. Include names, round of the tournament, and if it is losers or winners bracket.

A naming standard like… NameVsNameR5WB.avi

Kind of brutal and time consuming having to try and reference a bracket to figure it all out.

Alright Alright, I’ll try better. Hey at least I put the ppl’s name and not just randomfuckingguyvsbalddude.mpeg

Justin Wong won WCG in NYC. Gootecks got like 10th or some shit. I’m starting to think this guy is going downhill.

Everyone should subscribe to the youtube channel or you’re DQ’d from the next Ranbat.

Just saw this and I still disagree. Are we running Xbox 360 or PS3? Running two consoles in tournaments is ghetto shit, and leads to fucked up situations. I’m still butt hurt over last night. Feel like I was boned out of a top 5 or 6 placing. I don’t want to create drama, but it’s retarded to tell people to bring their controllers that they’re comfortable with (stick or pad), and setting configs prematch is no problem, and then at some point telling a person they have to switch to an unfamiliar controller because some dude prefers something on the other console. Fucked up. I still can’t figure out why we are running a single PS3 when 90% of the players are on Xbox.

I agree with matty honestly. Should only be one system. And while even I mostly play on the PS3, the majority plays on 360 so it should just be that. In fact when I eventually get the money for my own system, I’m going for the 360 first just because more people use it. I bet the online play is even better as far as finding matches.

I agree 100%. ONE system.

Very good turnout and this is without the Twins and Triplets lol

Renzo, I love that Fuerte. Keep at it.

Andy, you almost had me that first game, that Chun scares me sometimes…Fierce Punch more.

There’s a 360-PS3 converter which sounds interesting. If it’s a good no-lag converter, then this may be a win-win for everyone so that PS3 pad players can stick with what they use best, and 360 stick players can stick with their best equipment. It is, unfortunately, a $65 answer…kinda pricey. This may be more of an answer for EVO and their lame choice to go PS3 on everyone, even in the face of much higher 360 ownership.

I had a longer post, but it should be the hosts’ decision. 360 exclusive, PS3 exclusive, a mix of both…whatever. The host decides the format, and everyone adapts. The prudent choice would be 360 exclusive as most everyone has a 360, but since the host is putting up the goods, they can decide how things go down. Of course, it could hurt future tournaments, but whatever. I’d go with 360 exclusive as well, but that’s me.

It sucks to feel like you got screwed out of a legitimate shot at a higher ranking because you couldn’t use your gear, though. I didn’t use my Hori DOA4 stick that I use all the time; I used TE’s on both PS3 and 360, but that’s an upgrade for me. It probably helped my game!

And nice job on posting the vids so fast, Matty. Now I can study everyone’s game, but they can study mine! Time to break down some film. Next time I’m bringing the guns AND roses…

Do NOT FUCKING BUY any 360 to ps3 converter or vice versa, OR YOU WILL DIE. Nah just playing, seriously though I’m a big forum tech talk nerd and those converters all suck according to Mark Man. If you want details, then I could pm you links to reviews and such.

Yeah, I was trying to be a nice guy and use ps3/360 to accomodate ppl. However, I really don’t give a fuck about being a nice guy anymore. So we are gonna use the 360 exclusively for the ranbats. . .we can take a vote but it won’t matter b/c only kyle, thomas, matty, kelly, and dana will vote.

The only ps3 only ppl I know are let me see. . .Brian. . .Phil. . .Paul. . .and I know for a fact they could care less as long as there are abundant TE sticks on the 360 which there are.

So all in all, none of the 3 above will ever HOST, even if they did they can’t accomodate enough ps3 systems or sticks so fuck HOST decides. Let Andy decide, trust me I’m a doctor.

360 only tournaments now, we’ll have 2-3 xbox360 systems from now on. If it’s my house, I’ll have the ps3 and small LCD in the back for casuals with a TE and VSHG.

Peace, also, remember though you will need a ps3 stick for EVO. Kelly I know you’ll be fine, Matty will end up buying one, Brian is fine, Thomas (just go!) can borrow my AIAB, the ducklings have 40 mayflashes modded, Andrew is borrowing one of mine, Mike I may have one extra but it’s ghetto kinda, Kyle can share my stick since he’ll be eliminated immediately b/c he’ll be too drunk to realize his name has been called.

Dana/Kyle, you guys should update the blog site with updated scores and rankings and shit. Members list would be nice also. I tried earlier, had no idea what was going on.

If you do get the money, Kyle knows a dude who sells HELLAH CHEAP xboxes. . .I think the dude found them after they fell off a truck if you know what I mean :wink:

Oh yeah, ranbat was fun as hell having the Jazz game/Boxing match going on also. I’ll promise to practice more for next ranbat, promise :slight_smile:

Have one already. I use it for Killzone. Not tournament worthy because it can randomly stop working at any time, and you have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it working.

Host’s decision? So every time a Ranbat changes venue we can have new rules? Don’t like the sound of that at all.

SF is serious business lol. But seriously, that just rubbed me the wrong way. Made me want to walk out and not even bother with the Ranbats anymore.

No problem! It’s nice to finally have videos of our matches.

I don’t even care if it is PS3. I have one of those too. Just need to know so I can try and find a stick.

lol sweet STI stick :rock:

While I agree with Matty totally…dude, you should have said something right then and there if you thought it was going to be a problem. I think Andy asked you before the second match if you wanted to move to the 360 to use your stick and you said it was fine where you were. Speak up man! :slight_smile:

Love the vids, thanks for getting them up so fast.

I did say something. I was pretty much told we could split the games between PS3 and Xbox, which is just as shitty. What happens when it goes to a 3rd match? Who gets to use their shit at that point? And when people are told they can bring their own hardware why should I ever have to use anything different? Two consoles just doesn’t work. It would have been a shitty situation for one person or the other no matter how we tried to work it out. I just played the matches and got it over with. I didn’t want to get into a huge argument at the Ranbat. I just hope something like this won’t happen again…

And yeah, I’m probably the only stick user that has a horrible time migrating between different sticks, but we did have 360 pad user(s) there also, such as Renzo. What if he was matched up with Brian’s brother instead of me? Same situation.

And Matty, I subscribed to the YouTube page, but as supergolf11…an old account, but that’s me. I wouldn’t want to be DQed from future Ranbats. :wink:

After reading your response, my stance concerned all gatherings, but for Ranbats, I’d support 360 exclusive. That way everyone can plan and get their gear and game in order.

Hey guys, i’m thinking about having some casuals at my house on thursday night. If anyone is interested please say so. Some things to note though. I do have a 360, but don’t have SF4 for it so somebody would need to bring the game and their hard drive. Also I only have 1 TV so it would be great if someone could bring an lcd if at all possible so that we could have 2 games going at once.

But yeah, if anyone is interested it would be a lot of fun :slight_smile:

Sweet! Looks like we’ll have 10 people at the next Ranbat. Other 10+ are getting DQ’d :lol:

I’ll play on anything at casuals if it isn’t a pad heh
