I still think they should just say gently caress it and completely rebalance 3SOE since most purists just stick with the dreamcast and arcade versions anyway. It would shake things up quite a bit and might even make the game fresh again. Though I guess it'd just turn into SF2HDR *cricket*

Literally no one ever would stick with the dreamcast version, it's an atrocious port, seriously why are you guys commenting as if you know what you're talking about when you clearly don't know a thing?

Oh woops. I just remember it being fun on the Dreamcast.

I do know I'd like a balanced version of it and to see it played competitively again considering it's why I personally became interested in 2d/3d animation when it first came out. Just because I'm not pro-tier at it doesn't mean I don't like watching it played. My point still stands with the die hard purists. They're not going to care about a piecemeal update on a dead game that deserves more.

Oh well at least the new Guilty Gear looks goddamned amazing and hits the right artistic buttons with me. Third Strike still has some of the best animation.

The update was asked for by the diehard purists (including myself) who still play the game because they enjoy the game and for a lot of whom arcade 3S isn't feasible for anymore, I honestly don't know why people take it upon themselves to talk from a position of authority about things they know nothing about and then wonder why people who do get angry, it's baffling to me. Maybe this video will help I don't know it's clearly not something i'm capable of explaining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5juLUsO0w&t=44s

I didn't speak 'from a position of authority'. Reread what I read since I even made a dumb joke about it just becoming SF2HDR.

I just wish the game became popular again since I loved it and it inspired me when I was younger. That's it. Breath and relax. I'm pretty sure Capcom's done with Third Strike sadly.

Honestly I didn't want to come off as a dick but we've been having a really good 3S revival as of late over here in the UK, we don't want Capcom to do anything to 3S other than fix the problems with OE that are in this patch that's been waiting in limbo for ages. No one who plays the game remotely well has ever wanted a balance patch or anything that comes up when the thousands of armchair SF4 players decide to comment on the game, it happens an awful lot and it's very tiring. I'd disagree about sounding like you're from a position of authority because you tried to talk about what was wanted without knowing what's going on but I'm not going to bang on about it since you seem like a nice chap who just got the wrong end of the stick.

This literally happened last weekend and I travelled 500 miles just to go it and so did people from France and Switzerland that should give you an idea of why I feel like we're a community worth protecting or whatever it is i'm doing:

Don't imagine that many will care about this, especially with it being so short notice, but there's a Fatal Fury Real Bout 2 tournament tomorrow night on GGPO.

More info and what you need to join can be found here as well.

I have a lot of rust to shake off if I'm going to make a halfway decent showing.

you can trade in the xbox 360 version of the game for $11 on amazon, so its a nice mod project for $30. Probably on par with other $30 sticks as well

Here's the SRK thread for the stick

This seems to be the underlying theme:

quote:

It's great as a beginner stick due to the recent price drop IF you don't plan on modding it besides the simple stuff (swapping out the restrictor gate, changing out the balltop, shaft & buttons as long you're willing to lose the LED function) but I don't recommend it as your first stick if you want to do anything more.

Some more quotes

quote:

The build quality is amazing. The case itself is on par with Madcatz if not better. The side bezel is rubberized and feels like the surface of the first generation Deathadder mouse from Razer. The plexi is durable however any scratches or differences in the surface will glow from the LED lighting therefor dried sweat, scratches and bumps will glow on the surface including the edges of the plexi and the screw holes will glow. The overall weight of the stick very very light. It is half the weight of the Madcatz SE. You have a detachable cable. The bottom is rubberized.

(from here which has a lot more info on the workings of the stick)

Dual modding may be tougher than normal, as it has LED lighted buttons. If you do dual-mod, you may or may not be able to retain that. It also does not work with Sanwa or Seimitsu mounting plates. I guess PDP (the stick producers) outsourced the parts from Qanba.

For 40 bucks though, it's a great price, honestly.
