It’s true Jesse, SSF2 probably would have been received better had it been faster. As for the “other” features found in the newer SF games… to me, they are gimmicks. Granted, not everyone feels the same way (Heck, most probably dont). Which is understandable. My own personal history with SF has led me to that assertion. A lot of those features have made me (for the most part) turn a blind eye to New Skool SF. But hey, that’s just me. Everyone has their own particular history with SF, thus bringing about vastly different conclusions of features found in SF games.
All that aside, seeing the SF community within Z grow is definitely a welcome sight. All the individuals having problems with routers & firewalls, is another story altogether Needless to say, I know when I get a router, I will TURN IT OFF when it comes time to play. I’m sure one might say, well, the layout of PCs within my house/residence wont allow me to that. To that I say, “point well taken.”
Oh yea, mad propz should go to Jesse, aka “The Troubleshooter.” Man, talk about troubleshooting. It seems like Jesse is always on the clock. Damn, knowledge of 80s toons and now Z troubleshooting? Wow, what’s next?
how high is the competition on zbattle? r there any scrubs that play? i’m curious cuz i’m basically a fellow scrub that would like 2 get good and work my way up.
I just tried playing ZBattle (SSF2) for the first time and I only have one thing to say.
OH MY GOD!
The netcode on this thing is unbelievably good. I played under the name SaintNick. The lag is quite negligible. Practically everything I intended to do was executed even while I was using a keyboard. While using the keyboard wasn’t especially hard for me considering I was a hardcore pc fps gamer, I really can’t wait to play this on a joystick or a decent controller. Once I get some kind of converting adapter it’s on. Though I never really played those old school SF games, I have a friend that was awesome at them. All you old Xbanders may know him. He went by the name WINNER or Mr. Win Collector. I called him immediately after I played and he expressed interest. He even remembers some of you guys like Dark Gaiden and is considering getting broadband just to get back in the action.
For those that haven’t tried this yet, I’m 100% certain you will be hooked after a few games. Seriously, I only played 7 or so games and now I’m a believer.
I’m just curious, did you not want to play my bro (Vintage) and I? Because you bailed after 3 battles without saying anything and the other time I joined your game, you didn’t say anything at all and exited. I just wanted to know whats up? :bluu:
Lucky-st.c,
Do you have Winner/Mr Win Collector’s email or AIM/YM? I have been trying to get in contact with that guy for years. I lost contact with him during my early college years. Man, if he came onto Zbattle, things would definitely be interesting
I just played this guy named nok who was beating my ass lol. And he’s such a nice guy he didn’t even gloat or anything even after smoking me with Ryu. I most likely don’t stand a chance against Dark Gaiden, Vintage or JSJ but I still want to play them ASAP.
Damn you zbattle dealers. I’m hooked on this shit now.
I too can’t get on…oh well mabye when a new version comes out it’ll work. Has anyone here tried the Zsnes Netplay option? Could that be a good substitute to zbattle?
Do you have a router? If so, have you tried turning it off?
As for using the Netplay in Zsnes alone, it might work in theory…assuming your router or firewall (if you have one) are properly set or disabled.
Host a game tonight and I’ll look for you. What’s your Z name?
I don’t think this is an ip problem, but a zbattle.net problem. Try connecting directly to somebody’s game without using zbattle and just zsnes. If you can connect it’s probably a zbattle problem.
Try installing zsnes/zbattle into different directories. Try compatibility settings.
I couldn’t get the shit to work either. I think it’s the router/firewall that’s installed. And that’s not going anywhere, since my roommate is REALLY paranoid about having the firewall down, and we need the router to connect both our computers to our cable modem (for ONE low monthly fee that is LOL). So oh well…
Needless to say, I know when I get a router, I will TURN IT OFF when it comes time to play. I’m sure one might say, well, the layout of PCs within my house/residence wont allow me to that. To that I say, “point well taken.”
