They put out some more details about the Neogeo stick, including what games come installed on it. https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2019/092001/


Why would you ever bother with 3 different versions of World Heroes 2?
Also, I'm kind of curious about what the stick will actually work with for other consoles. The page doesn't mention anything except pointing out there there are 8 buttons. Might be too early to say, but I'm wondering if this thing will be PC only.

SNK is promoting World Heroes pretty hard with stuff like this and the honzo action figure

I think they want it to be a big franchise or at least a kof team

I question a lot of that list but 3 fuckin' owns. It's technically impressive too - the sprites even have some animation frames cut in 4 and on. Great atmospbere too.

So with the new bbtag update they're adding a new mechanic where if the timer hits 80 seconds everyone's meter automatically starts filling.

Seeing gcyoshi time people out with yosuke/hazama must have really rubbed someone down there the wrong way

SNK didn't create and thus don't have the rights to Windjammers, Puzzle Bobble or Breakers.

They're also adding new metered options with the universal overhead, the option to partner swap midcombo outside of DHC and the option to change up the timing on when your 2nd char flies in after your first one is downed. drat the best FG of 2018 just got better

Bbtag proving itself the best fighting game once again with these changes. They seem universally pretty great and I'm way excited to play season 2 at this point.

They're revealing the final 5 characters of season 2 on the 22nd as well, I hope there are some more surprises.

Not sure where else to ask this but: When you wire up a custom control panel/stick is it very hard to change the wiring to/from USB and the usual keyboard doubler card thing that's usually used in MAME cabinets?

I'm wanting to make a short arcade cab for a kid and I'd like to have it running one of the retail mini-consoles and then change it later into a full mame cab.

The only time I've ever completed an A autocombo was a UNI character rebeating into it and using that for damage.

I was labbing once and discovered that for Chie because of the way the combo scaling works you actually do less damage if you use 5AA to hitconfirm into her bnb vs 5A or 5AAA

A autocombos are awful

You sayin' I like dubs?!?
carmine is the only character who actually wants to finish his autocombo so this might be a bit of an issue for him.

I don't think "rampage time" is an answer to people timing out. it just sounds like another string of "gently caress it, wouldn't that be fun?" wacky mechanics in this game full of them. if it helps anyone it helps people make 1v2 comebacks after their resonance runs out

I don't think it's automatic, I think you have to do something after the autocombo

Supposedly this is being fixed, but I ducked out a while ago and wont tune in again until one of the resource-less counter mechanics doesn't stop the game from being played for the next 5-7 seconds

If what you say is true
Wutang might be dangerous


It's fun other than that. It's weird that they added it as a way to simplify the game then gave you like 7 options and different payoffs for everyone. It doesn't feel as much like a simplification as another game just layered on top.

What do you do with a drunken Viking?

I need a large form factor controller for the PS4 and am considering a Hitbox. Is it a mistake?

Realized the terse question might come off as a troll. I play semisporadically but for long hours when I do, and am generally a terrible gorilla on my sticks. My TE2 has mostly survived but with GBF and GG2020 I finally need a PS4 stick.

The RPS stuff in SC6 gets used quite a bit less now in general, because people actually know how to get around it and junk now.

Also hitboxes are pretty good feeling, embrace the cheatbox spirit.

Do you like to play characters with 720s? It will make those really annoying
otherwise sure go ahead, it's not like controllers matter anyways beyond what's comfortable for you

Play on a keyboard for a few days and see how you like it. Also, I'd suggest assembling your own and not just buying the "official" controller. It's 7 inches wide, which was a bit too small for me when I was building cardboard prototypes before I built my wood case. I know All Fight Sticks case is 8.5 inches, which I found much more comfortable.

Soul Calibur 6 is really good, but yes reversal edge is an incredibly dipshit mechanic and the game would be far better without it

Ironically enough, most idiots complain it's overpowered when in reality it's underpowered
