windjammers is actually a good fit for the tournament tho since its only fun for about 2 games

edit: bang bead is not any better than windjammers but its about the same. if you like dumpy windjammers try bang bead

Does XTekken have the best Dimitri sprite that ever was? No it does not.

Having the best sprite for a Darkstalkers characters is like having the best quality version of a Chumbawamba song.

Does anyone here have experience working with Marvelous Customs or using their sticks? I'm curious about how comfortable those acrylic cases are. Any issues with sliding around on a flat surface or using it on your lap?

Edit: For reference, what I'm used to is the original-run 2009 Mad Catz TE, which is pretty dang comfy.

I'd recommend getting some felt adhesive pads for the bottom. You can typically find those at any hardware store or home improvement big box worth a crap.

Does anyone know if hitbox-style controllers still require a SOCD cleaner to be tournament legal? Last I heard it was required, but I don't actually see anything about it in any written tournament rules. I want to make sure I'm getting a legal controller before I order a custom one.

On phone so I can't do a hitbox effort post, but most games have a built in SOCD cleaner. What board is it being based on? Later, I can check how mine is wired up.

However, there's no centralized or canonical set of tourney rules. it's up to the organizer.

I'm getting a dual console 360/ps4 box, and the ps4 side will probably use a Hori FC4 board, which doesn't have a cleaner built in. I'm checking with the builder on how the 360 mode will work, but it probably doesn't have a cleaner either.

Both the presence and lack of a cleaner can be exploited in different ways depending on the game, so it's debatable which design is cheaper, and there's always a risk that a TO won't like the way mine is set up.

Anyone who still plays Alpha 3 are God Tier and will get Double Perfects on you all day, while executing V-ISM, custom combos and styling like crazy.
Meaning you won't be able to win by not trying hard, and therefore, have a bad time.

Alpha 2 actually plays like a Street Fighter game.

e: To be less flippant about it, SFA2 has SF footsies that you're used to, fireballs actually do something, combos do real amounts of damage, etc. The only real complaints about SFA2 I can see are Valle CCs and Chun.

Compare to A3 where everything has noodly hitboxes, non-metered combos do 5%, and the entire game is either fishing for a CC or playing around it.
