It's been far more downplayed though because the game was announced two years ago when TTT2 was the biggest thing Harada was working on at the time, so the game's only about 10% done currently, don't expect to hear anything about it until next year probably. Although Harada has already stated a plan he has for the game.

I got an invitation to go but I'm not sure if I can. Was checking to see if any goons were going.

Dodgeball posted:What, if anything, would have made gems worth putting into the game? I like the idea of tweaking a character a bit to suit your play-style, provided it doesn't drastically change the character. I guess I'm wondering what the genuinely great, initial idea that got butchered WAS before it turned into the cluster gently caress that is SFxT? They were pretty much a bad idea that was terribly implemented from the start, but I think a lot of people basically reached the point where it was like "Okay, if this stupid bullshit is going to be in the game, maybe it'll at least be so over-the-top broken that it will make the game fun in spite of itself." Instead, we got really exciting tactical decisions like "get +10% defense" or "pay us money and get +15% defense." If it had been more like UMvC3's Heroes & Heralds mode, there was actually a chance that it could've been a stupid, but fun, game.

Arcana Heart's system for customising your character with arcanas is what I think they were aiming for. Instead, as has been said, it became "pay money for a better bonus than everyone else."

I really don't have any reason to believe that their plan wasn't "pay us money for objectively better characters" and very boring modifications in the first place. It's not like somewhere in production all these wonderful Ideas Guys were told to dismantle all their wonderful plans for deep, meaningful customization.

Woah, why is FFA shutting down? For such a small space it always seemed to have a decent number of people in it. Then again Arcade Infinity was even busier and got shut down too. Starting to look like arcades will be a distant memory soon.

Seems to me like a lot of the reason arcades are dying out is because they're run like a turn-key business and they either don't give a poo poo if controls break or honestly don't know how to swap out a button.ZackHoagie posted:First they came for FFA, and I did not say anything, for I didn't go to FFA.

Antillese posted:"Consoles are dead in Japan" is the kind of well-researched and objective analysis I come to the fighting games thread to read! Are you serious? Are your feelings really that hurt by the fact a certain category of hardware is not producing profit at a level you expect in a certain country on this Earth? Look at any Japanese sales chart for the last 3 years. Take note of how many million sellers have been on DS or PSP rather than a console. Check any random week and see how many Top 10 sellers are from the DS/PSP. Take a look at the most successful franchises in Japan and how many have completely moved away from consoles and are supposed on portable systems only (Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Kingdom Hearts).

Orded myself the brawl stick on Buy.com today for $30 and planning on changing out the button at a later date, but for now I am wanting to replace the artwork. I already know the details in the OP, but where can I print it out at? The site listed in the OP that does the dirty work for you seems to not have a option for the Street Fighter IV/Brawl Stick style fight sticks anymore, so Kinkos is probably my best bet. Is a specific instructions I need to give them to get it printed?

You have to do something different for brawlsticks. There's no plexi so most people order a stick-on style thing, but I don't really know the specifics because I've never dealt with it, but search around in SRK tech talk.

Don't do art on the brawlstick, it rarely looks good and doesn't last very long for how much it costs. Instead use 3M DiNoc, which is fake carbon fiber designed for tuner cars. It looks solid, is pretty cheap, and lasts forever.

Lots of things are stated as absolute fact when they are actually pretty nuanced. The above post however provides that context and is a good post. Thanks for providing the perspective on your second post. Yes, this is a serious post.

Try measuring it. It should be slightly larger than the surface you are covering. You will be cutting it to fit anyways unless you found the template. Like the one in here I found by googling se stick template. Brawl stick is the same as SE right? http://driph.com/words/2009/02/howto-add-new-art-to-your-madcatz-fightstick/ If you design it and send me the PSD file I could print it out. I own a print shop and can laminate the poo poo out of it. Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Sep 23, 2012 |

An arcade is going up in my college town (San Marcos, TX) soon. They don't really have any Japanese fighters and focus way more on nostalgia/drunken Mortal Kombat (one of their biggest selling points is that they're BYOB and open late), but they're planning to build a custom SSF4AE cab soon to make the pro players happy.  e: They do have Primal Rage though, which owns because Primal Rage loving owns

Anyone got recommendations for good buttons and sticks. I've heard the Seimitsu LS-58 (I think it's 58) joysticks are very good. I've also heard the Sanwa RG buttons last you a life time. I'm thinking of putting foam in the buttons to make them silent and each cost only 50p. Also, speaking of local arcade, the Heart Of Gaming will hopefully be making it's debut in London soon. The project is probably a little too ambitious, but I hope it succeeds. http://youtu.be/2L3lgaVZNzA Sorry for the lovely phone camera.

No set of buttons will last you a lifetime, a couple years of solid play at best. You can expect to get about a million presses out of a single Sanwa or Seimitsu button, a little more from more durable American style switches (ie Cherry switches).

I'd love to see a documentary about the death of the arcade scene. Despite what was posted earlier - all I've heard is that arcades are dying in Japan as well. The game manufacturers are partially to blame for the Japanese decline, they moved over to a pay-per-play system where the arcade owner not only has to buy and maintain the machines, but also pay a percentage of every single game which used to be where all the profit was.

As long as we're talking about stick art, does anyone have any links for making/finding/installing some for the Eightarc sticks? Most stuff I find is just for TEs. I mean I'm sure it's a pretty similar process, but I basically have zero experience with anything of the sort and I'd rather not break anything.

First you need to get a replacement top panel: http://eightarc.com/clear-panel http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products&cat=17 Then you need to use a template (you can get one from EightArc or Tek-Innovations) and open it in Photoshop or GIMP. Then use whatever art you want and get it all nice looking. After that either export it to a flash drive and take it to Kinko's or get Art to print and cut it for you. This is a pretty solid breakdown of whats inside your stick and how its put together: http://shoryuken.com/2011/12/12/srklabs-in-depth-review-eightarc-fusion-ps3pcxbox360-joystick/
