I think I've seen those, but the thing is, American joysticks do not have clearance to fit in a TE unless you basically cut the shaft in half and move stuff around as needed. That's what I was talking about with "extreme modification."
I've done it and all you need is spacers for the bottom plate. You don't even have to modify the mounting bracket and you can use 2 of the allen screws from the top panel.

I don't understand why people wouldn't just use American parts instead of bullshitting around with a bunch of Japanese sticks, springs, and gates that will never come anywhere near close to feeling like a Happ stick. American parts are even cheaper!

I can understand someone wanting a JLF with a stronger spring.

Like you, I can't understand someone trying to make them some bizarro version of a Happ/iL stick.

Dear Mr. Crofts, are you going to Season's Beatings this year? Wanna play that skullgirls.

Also, are you from Michigan Hippo? I could have sword I've played on that stick before or someone with identical artwork and bezelwork.

So what you're saying is that SB6 is going to be the best tournament ever. Gotcha. This is the first major I'll be able to attend this year so I'm kinda excited to actually play skullgirls. Looking forward to it!

Yeah it was just the artwork + bezel coloring that threw me off. Also, the guy loved doom.

Nope, in Mid/lower Socal. The artwork is pretty standard so I wouldn't be surprised to know that a few people have it as well.

Oh man, excited for this. I've been having a hard time getting into VSav because none of my friends who I play with really like the game too much and I'm hoping that a tournament stream will help them see what the game is like at higher levels.

If you don't already know about it you shouldn't definitely check out this youtube channel.

right now the TvC stick for Wii is at fire sale prices (~$30 shipped) so if you don't mind getting your hands dirty to mod it for use on other systems that's a hell of a deal. otherwise, it's like the SRK thread linked in the OP says, anything below $50 is probably junk

Same for me. I've only ever played twice but lately I've been on a kick of picking up old fg's that I missed the boat on competitively, so I've been playing ST and vsav more. Would definitely be down to actually learn this game because I'm having a lot of fun with it so far.

Tomorrow morning, there's a CEO tournament for those of you in the Orlando area. That's not the important part.

What is important is that this is the first ever tournament with a Salty Runback Bracket. The first 8 people to go 0-2 will be placed into a single-elimination side tournament. The winner of that tournament will get their entry fee refunded to them.

Looks like the size of the super bar increases when a character is down to about 33% life. Also, the gauge under the health bar seems to be a Jojo kinda thing where if your persona gets hit four times, you have to wait to call it (about 12 seconds).

Yeah at low health you get 50 super, your bar goes to 150, and you take less damage.

Yeah, that is the one thing that really bothers me. The combo indicator stays out way too long. The sliding bar under it seems to let you continue a combo (count wise) even after the opponent recovers. I don't know what the hell they mean by that, maybe there is some weird scaling thing going on or bonus at certain number of hits or something but it seems really strange to me.

Maybe they leave it out so it's easier to see how much damage the combo did? At least I think that's the number under the indicator.

Next, you'll say...
"What a good post!"

In case you can't see from the previous footage there's a bar under the hit counter that shows how long you have until the opponent hit flips out of the combo, it shows 1 hit to show how long you have to combo off of the hit I guess.

It should just show "O hit combo" when there's nothing going on. What if I fell asleep during the match and I'm not sure if I'm in the middle of a combo or not when I wake up?

yeah, that's what those numbers are (edit: why is this even useful info in a match anyway?), but the BB combo-counter has an easily readable damage-counter also and it doesn't stick around for ages.
Just my personal prefrence, but I would rather go into training or practice and turn on all the extra infos so I can see the details of a combo instead of seeing random stuff on the screen all the time. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still buying this poo poo regardless.
