Zbattle = True Online OG SF?

hells yes! When I was in job corps, my roommate and I used to make it a nightly ritual to go thru the game before we went to sleep! if youre really up to it, we could play before then too. I been hit up a few times and used zsnes without zbattle. it’s just like zbattle, but use aim…lol

Awesome. I’ll catch you on AIM.

Oh yeah, I call Maki :smiley:

yeah i use u64emu. works fine. the emu is a little sloppy with bugs and such. but it works fine.

Can you please tell me how you got it to work? I have all my file patchs mapped correctly, yet I still get an error message about some unnamed file when I try to run the rom.

Hey Veeb, are the forums on already ?

is #zbattle on efnet? I always go there, but there’s never anyone there, except for this one guy that always idling. Veeb you’re never on AIM when I am, I’ve been trying to message you but this is only place left I know where to contact you. I don’t like email How about the newcon forums? :smiley:

yes on efnet. and damnit, zbattle seriously needs to come back. this is hella shitty. just wish we had some more news. im sure when it comes back tho, it will be better than ever

If you want to play LAG-LESS SF (notably OG SF) come to #Zbattle on Efnet via mIRC. We need new blood. And more specifically, Maxtah’s Blanka is going senile :slight_smile:

I am looking for someone to play right now^_^

Sabre: you play KI on SNES? Is that a good arcade port?

Newayz last time i couldn’t get Zbattle to connect for some reason…it would just freeze at like the connecting screen…newayz i’ll play ya if zbattle gets back on, and i figure out how to work this shit.

Does being behind a router affect it at all?

tgc: technically, snes ki is far from accurate. mainly in the graphics department. gameplay is still solid however. changes would be some combos and not as many fun glitches, but there are snes specific glitches tho hehe. some of the combos that are gone required some of those glitches missing on snes. giving the hardware limitations, the port is VERY good. and the game is much better balanced than the arcade version. infinites are removed (i.e. cinder/eyedol juggle infinite). basically that was removed outright when the combo ender juggle glitch was entirely missing from the snes version, which kinda sucked cuz it made for more combos. only bad thing that came out of that glitch was cinder and eyedol infinite. also, characters like tj combo got a lot better on snes. his normals are faster and hes got a lot more unbreakable combos which is a huge neccessity in KI. granted, i’d rather take arcade ki over snes in a heartbeat, only thing annoying there is cinder infinite, but i like the snes version for what it is. and its highly playable.

if you ever wanna play it online, lemme know.

zbattle been down for like atleast 3 months. they wont give us any news whatsoever on the revival. at the end of december they said the netweork would be up shortly and thats the last we heard of it.

as for the router, yes thats a problem. you can play, but you have to do port forwarding. talk to me on aim whenever and we’ll talk, ill help you out.

I just hope it comes back soon. My Mario Kart skills are getting rusty as hell. I’m coming in 2nd - 4th against the 150cc CPU. :stuck_out_tongue:

K cool thx.

i definetly know it lacks in the graphics department. Anyways, when it does go back online and we do play, don’t complain cause i’m probaly not as good.

I mean i can beat adrenaline a few times, but we know him :lol: other than him i’ve played a few people who were aaight (but got no ground game) I’ve never actually seen high level plays, only some of the big combos that go 60+ which i’m not even sure if that’s big

I wanna play some peeps in some SF Turbo too

you can still play people without zbattle, zbattle just makes it MUCH easier to find opponents. if you have a players ip adress, you can just boot up zsnes and log into it and play. its the exact same thing. zbattle is just a frontend for zsnes’ online capabilities to help find opponents in a central location instead of trying to scour through forums, getting aim sn’s and trying to get ip’s…

like i said, get a hold of me on aim sometime and i’ll show you

Well…I just sent an email to Veeborg about the status of Z. I specifically asked him if Zbattle was coming back this calendar year. If I get a reply, I will fill you all in…

I’ve been brushing up on my KI skills, I haven’t played anyone new in quite a while. I will be back on a fast connection in about 3 weeks or so. I’ll hit you guys up for a few games then.

I did the same yesterday. Let’s just wait…

jsut set an ETA of the end of this month. I’m going to be working with the guy who wrote the linux port to get it done.

You know it’s funny. I was on #Capcom the other day. I was asking around to see if anyone wanted to “try” Zsnes. Sure enough those foolz wrote it off us just another Kawaks/Mame emulator. Kids, Kawaks and Mame DO NOT HAVE BUILT-IN NETPLAY. Which is why you need a server like Kalliera. I know this point has been brought up numerous times, but I just had to vent :smiley:

The ironic thing is if Mame or Kawaks (or another emu for that matter) had built-in netplay, they would be playing on it instead of complaining about how they will never get to play relatively lag-less matches online.

Veeb0rg, thank you very much. Your work is greatly appreciated.
