Why does EVO use PS3?

So can I, and I both thanked and acknowledged the 2nd poster in the thread. The rest of the posts are in response in an attempt to educate the other posters who are unwilling to acknowledge the 1 frame lag.

you play about 3 frame slower, so why are you complaining?

Wiz himself said it last year, if you donate all the 360’s that are needed he’d do it.

PS3: 5 frames of input lag
360: 4 frames of input lag.

Not fanning the argument or anything. Just giving the facts.

well its already been said that ps3 sf4 is closer to arcade. 360 is faster then the arcade. so i think ill stick to the version closer to arcade

The only person that provided citations is JWangSDC. His so called “preference” is supported and lends validity to his concern. No need to shoot him down for advocating for a legitimate suggestion.

…but alas this is the internet…

really? proof?

Evo will always be PS3 unless MS gets on board as a huge sponsor.

I play on 360 all the time and whenever I went to the arcade around here that has it, it seemed slower overall. The PC version feels slower than the 360 version, too. After I got the PC version I played for several months only on PC because it looked nicer and went back to 360 when playing with a friend and it felt like it was on turbo mode. The 360 version definitely feels the fastest, but it seems like the PS3, PC, and arcade versions are all the same or very close. It seems like the arcade version should be the gold standard, so PS3 should be the system of choice for a large international tournament. And don’t even get me started on the controller thing with the 360.

You’re aware you couldn’t actually move SF4 data from one console to another right?

You’re aware Evo has a flash drive with the “all unlock” save file from Capcom on it, right?
Although I guess now it’s not really needed for Super.

Couldn’t find it anywhere, guess not. I swear Val and I quoted it a lot last year when all of these threads kept popping up. Maybe I’m going senile.

Don’t drag me into your senile ramblings!

I say we buy 30 SSF4 arcade cabs.

:lol:

As sweet as that sounds, then the debate would rage on between “I want sanwa parts” “Fuck that I want seimitsu” and the square/octo/p360. Oh lord this is one debate that can’t ever be won.

I hope there is no “You Did Not Earn A Trophy” issue going on again this year.

The trophy problem has been fixed for this year.

It was back when we were walking our dogs in late '63!

Glad to hear!

This is why Evo shouldn’t use Xbox360s. [media=youtube]Xc7287NwFAs[/media]

New guy here, what exactly was the trophy problem?

every now and then when you were playing your match

the area where you would see trophy achieve, became an laggy annoyance that blocked life and mess your combos

but thats the past, im glad to hear about it being fixed
