Yo Xbox dudes, want to download Injustice for free?


No idea why Costa Rica is getting Injustice for free, but there you go.

From what I tried here earlier, this has been patched up and it is full retail on both the Slovakian and Costa Rican marketplaces.

So I have a question. My girlfriend got me a 360 for my birthday, and seeing as my PS3 can't internet anymore, I'm planning on making my Xbox my new fighting game box. I have a MadCatz Soul Calibur V Fightstick, this one to be precise:

http://www.quill.com/mad-catz-xbox-360-accessories/cbs/301999.html?cm_mmc=SEM_PLA_T_301999

What parts would I need to dual mod it, how difficult is this, what tools outside of 360 parts would I need, and is it something that someone with no experience should attempt?

My stick is a PS3 stick I was wanting to give 360 compatibility to.

Get a ps360+. I have it in my ps3 mlg te stick and it works great. I'm grabbing another one soon for my old ps3 brawl stick, just for the heck of it. They're very easy to install ( don't have to solder at all), and they work on ps3, 360, and PC.

Focus Attack has them.

Is there a guide for how to install?

Mine does.

I used to watch his Marvel tutorials when I was getting into the game, but I recently saw his Dante one and just the way he acted came off super forced. The only reason I watched his Killer Instinct video is because I'd never played one, and that game is super interesting to me for some reason.

So for anyone who ordered the fight stick deal from namco on black friday, did anyone get a notice saying one or more of your items have been changed out. We are replacing it with an item of equal cost?

PLANES CURE TOWERS posted:

Nothing on SRK or anything. I don't know what else they could replace the stick with, it's the only stick they sell on their site. Unless they give you a SCV Madcatz stick.

Which would suck because I already own that stick. I checked the package weight and it was 10lbs so I think I'm fine. They probably just swapped the game.

PLANES CURE TOWERS posted:

Yeah, I would think so. Swapping out the stick would be pretty loving dick of them.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they won't let me return the games due to the sale either if the one they gave me I didn't like. Either that or get ready to learn the poo poo out of some Naruto fighting game.

Do you just make the template then print and slide under the faceplate or is there a special way to do it?

You print something out and put it under the plexi glass. Should just have to use a hex wrench to remove the screws after taking the bottons/stick off from the looks of things. I was going to have http://www.tek-innovations.com print it for me unless there is some better.,

I was just gonna use a template and take it to kinkos.

Grab the Soul Calibur TE. It's usually 70ish on amazon and a PS360+ PCB.

I've never really played a Guilty Gear/BlazBlu ever, and the Xrd videos really make me interested. Is the PSN Guilty Gear A Core Plus R worth grabbing beforehand? I played some of P4:A, which I liked well enough, but didn't want to devote my time to really learning it.

Guilty Gear is pretty much Persona on steroids and no autocombo. It's a good game, but it's pretty intricate to pick up and learn.

Thanks for clarifying. The secondhand embarrassment still hurts.

On a better note, so do I need to go to the individual threads or can I just post here for people to play with tonight? I get home from class around 10:30 EST and want to practice some AE and Marvel to get back into the swing of things.

Has anyone taken a crack at the new Blazblue? I've been mashing buttons on it for a couple days now, but I never really got too much further in previous versions than putting together a pretty nasty lambda game and being pretty incompetent at anyone else so I guess I really don't have a good frame of reference for how much better the mechanics are now. Overdrive is a pretty neat system, I definitely like it better than the way bursts worked before. The new characters are all pretty interesting, and I've been having fun just cycling through them to see if anything clicks. Terumi is a boss, for sure :black101:

I've gotta relearn Nu now- I remember reading about it before, but it's still really weird needing to switch stances now. That's okay I guess, I've been comfortable doing basically the same old poo poo since CS1.

I've been playing it. I've never played a BB and a friend of mine talked me into it, so I picked it up. I'm digging it but there's definitely a learning curve, even for someone who has played fighting games for years like myself. We have a thread for it if you wanna pick up matches and just general talk.

What do other people use to carry their sticks? I have an Eightarc stick that I really want to get a bag for, but I'm not sure if there are ones that are particularly cheap/convenient/good quality.

I just have a stick bag I snagged from a tournament, but honestly any messenger bag with a wide bottom should be fine. My best friend has one put out by MadCatz that he's a fan of.

Pretty much this, it's one of those strap bags that have like two big holes so it allows me to just slide the thing in there.


I also saw a dude who added a handle to his fightstick at Magfest that was pretty neat.

I've seen a few of those mods and they are pretty dope. I know some sticks come with them now.

Well you're in luck!


This is the first paragraph of text. It has a missing preposition, a missing apostrophe, and a triple negative. But don't despair!


And what about stretch goals, you ask? Why, if this abomination reaches $75,000, it will be made significantly worse by the addition of Maximilian as a playable character!



Truly, this is the game no one in the fighting game community wanted! Good job, everyone!

God man. I quit watching his stuff ages ago once I got a foothold with characters I liked in Marvel, and every time I see something else he does it is just the most cringeworthy thing. I used to like his tutorials until he became the PewDiePie of fighting games.

Can you take some in focus pictures of the insides? I want to see what the PCB looks like and the layout of the guts but I can't find any shots online.



So here's the kicker. See that black box in the corner? That convers the PCB.

Also just a follow up for anyone interested. If you don't give a gently caress about immediate Xbone support you can rip that pcb out and slap a ps360+ in there. However if you want to keep that functionality, you have to install a crossbone pcb then wire the 360+ into that. You lose LED function either way but the non KI sticks don't have them to my knowledge.

I think for sake of just having loving fun, everyone should play Gundam Extreme Vs. There's enough depth in it to matter but still be super fun.

Serious answer SF4 for reasons above. Maybe play TTT2 so you can bang your face into a wall.
