Where did this fad come from

Bad players thinking they'll magically get better if they play on something closer to the world warrior cab at the 7-11 when they were six years old and had no idea what was happening.

Set it to regular xbox controller buttons.

Yeah and I'm pretty sure than when you hold the button you can push left or right and it changes the function. It's a lovely config but it's not set in stone like you seem to think.

That is just ridiculous.


OH poo poo! I meant Raven, not Raiden. Sorry. (I should have just said Blade.) Anyway, is Raven legit? I'm only asking because a friend got salty after I kept winning with RAVEN against his... Hong Kong Cop character (Lei Woo Long?) Raven seems pretty cool. He kind of makes me want to start playing Tekken. I have 5 for the PSN. Is 6 good, or should I just wait for TTT2?

I am horrible at Tekken but what I remember from playing a little of Raven in T5 was that he's sort of so-so until you score a knockdown, but once you do that's where he really shines. I wish I could remember any details but I only played Raven a little before jumping ship for Bryan.

It's possible I'm misunderstanding something about the loop stopping system, but the combo videos that have been posted for Skullgirls so far all seem to have some loops in them that go unbroken. I'm assuming that they wouldn't demo combos that the system is designed to discourage or prevent, so what am I missing?

Here's the rules as I understand them:
-Whatever you do on the ground at the start of a combo is ignored by the loop detection.
-After you launch, loop detection kicks in and start taking note of what moves you use in each section of a combo. I think a section counts as something like jumping after a launch to landing, or landing to jumping again but I'm fuzzy on that so ask jmcrofts.
-If a section starts with a move you've already used anywhere in the combo, it triggers loop detection and they can burst.

If you watch that last Valentine combo where she's doing a lot of jumps in the corner, notice that each jump section starts with a different move until eventually she uses the body bag. I think that Painwheel purple mode combo with four ground bounces works the same way. I might also be real wrong about the combo rules.

A lot of charge characters have command normals that use back but move you forward for just that reason. Ash is one of them. KOF charge times are also extremely short, which is how doing things like cl.C, b+B, d~u+K is possible.

I'm left handed and I've never had any kind of desire to try playing cross-handed or anything. It's really not as big a deal as people like to think it is.

GGAC coming to modern consoles at some point.

Here's hoping for good netcode, as usual.

http://www.eightarc.com is also having a sale this weekend, $20 off most sticks and the Q2 is $99. It's more expensive than the MadCatz TE but it's the same quality and one stick works on both 360 and PS3 which is a big bonus if you plan on going to events where both consoles are in use.

Worth noting that the Q2 is not dual compatible. Gotta go with the Fusion for that.

Fusion or Q4 but yeah that's a good thing to take note of, thanks for pointing that out.

He's probably reacting to the walk-up before the throw, or just recognizing situations where throws are common and mistaking it for reaction.

I'm that guy, too . This might work: http://www.amazon.com/WII-CLASSIC-C...o/dp/B003711698 on PS3 with how it can use generic USB devices. I don't own a PS3 so no confidence in my guess. It worked fantastic for my stick->PC (until I didn't do the proper driver voodoo before plugging it in after a Windows re-install, now can't get it to load worth a drat on 2-3 different computers).

If you want to use it I think your best bet would be to pony up for the PS360+ or similar PCB and solder your way to victory. Or get the USB adapter and stick it in a PC as a baller emulation/platformer/etc. controller. If you do: back up the driver disc, install it first, and plug the joystick in the adapter before plugging it to your computer.

I know someone with that Wii CC converter, it works fine on ps3 and he takes it to tournaments.

It also typically (though not necessarily) means your throws have startup. In GG, throws have 0F startup, so you can reversal them and punish -1SD moves and such.

It wouldn't destroy GG to change them but it might make offense weaker and remove a defensive option, on top of slowing the pace of the game down. Mostly I think people are paranoid they'll make throws as crappy as they are in BB (huge rear end startup, tons of throw invuln, wiff animation, gigantic break window), which hopefully is not the case.

This is my big concern, GG (and more games in general) needs instant throws.
