Mega Comrade posted:No, UMvC3 has far better netcode. Umvc3's main problem is its bar system lies so it appears worse than it actually is. Yeah the biggest problem with the current netcode is that you're severely limited in terms of people you can play with good connections. Last time I played I was like "oh hey, it's that one guy I played 15 ranked matches in a row with yesterday"

Zexerous posted:So I helped run our scene's second tournament ever. Lots of drama before poo poo got started, but everything worked out in the end. A big thank you to jmcrofts and his crew bringing the evo monitors, and a even bigger thank you for everyone donating to the "feed banana ken" fund. I need to get a mega phone, I have no voice, but doing something like that was totally loving worth it. Didn't seem that drama-ridden, maybe I missed something :X Thanks for running that tournament, the venue is amazing and the tournament was fun. I felt like a little kid again walking into this giant arcade with all these classic titles. There's probably enough space there to hold a major if you combine the party room, so there's definitely room to grow. I'm glad to hear the owner is happy with the turnout. It just sucks you guys simply didn't have enough equipment to run the whole thing smoothly. A stream would be cool next time if you want to draw more attention to the event (it's also fun to commentate!). But yeah, being a TO is hard work, you were losing your voice by the end and everything. Next time I would try to shoulder a little less responsibility yourself, it just seems like you were running every single event on one laptop. Even for a smaller event you want to have a person dedicated to running brackets, that way you can make sure the rest goes smooth. I entered SCV, KOF, AE and SFxT btw. I considered entering T6 but switching between 5 games might have made my brain melt. I'm sure Indiana doesn't want me winning everything so I'm looking forward to how they level up.

I just got a new one, and it isn't going well at all. It detects it as being a HID, and says it's properly installed, but hitting buttons and moving the stick in calibration doesn't register at all. I know there's a historical problem with nVidia chipsets, but seeing as this is running on Intel, that shouldn't be the problem. I'm pretty much out of ideas on what to try now. The main issue is just how far back is the USB backwards compatible, only certain chipsets are: quote:For PC use, you need a USB port that is fully downward compatible with USB 1.1. Only Intel and VIA chipsets are certain to meet this requirement. Of course, with a 360 TE it's not an issue as Microsoft automatically installs drivers for their Microsoft product.

Static Rook posted:Watching the SF25 event. Every time I see SFxT on a stream I have the same reaction: I didn't even know SA existed during the year 2000  Even though I didn't play a whole lot during spring, AE was already slowing down considerably by then, no one really played ranked with high player points at least. I liked doing ranked to fight a bigger variety of opponents, and I would use the threat of losing 120pp in one go as motivation to not lose! I'm guessing P4A and other fighting games coming out is only going to make things worse. For better or worse, I gave a SFxT DLC code to a friend of mine roughly a week ago, and he couldn't even find player or ranked matches in his area. Good riddance I say.

It's not the best netcode but still solid, and the game behaves surprisingly well under small amounts of delay. Overall it feels more playable than say, SF4 netplay. Online community on psn is fine. On xbl you'd have to invite people you know to play, it's by far the less popular port because anime and pstriple have some kind of love affair.

Honestly, it's kind of bizarre to see someone with M2K's rap sheet receive as much support as he does. It's not like you don't see this type of phenomenon in the FGC; typically a top player's actions are tolerated more to some extent. I've never, ever seen a community put up with so much poo poo from a single top player as much as they do with M2K though. Look at Wolfkrone; he's being treated as a total outcast by the MI FGC nowadays, specially the moment he stopped dominating AE in the midwest. He hasn't pulled nearly as much poo poo either: he had this one instance of agreeing to split with JWong and going back on his word, making a fuss at final round because he got DQ'd after being 3 hours late, and nowadays just constantly shits on tournaments after he loses for whatever reason he can find. It's kind of sad, really.

iastudent posted:Got a monitor question for y'all since I'm looking for something to spend my tax refund on. I know the ASUS VH236H has been the fighting game monitor of choice for awhile, but I saw a couple others as well that appear to be newer models, like the VS238H-P. Is the second one as reliable for reducing lag like the VH, or should I stick with the EVO standby? IPS monitors (like the VS series from ASUS) tend to have more response time compared to TN monitors (VH series from ASUS), so if gaming is your 1st priority, I probably wouldn't go with the VS.

Not very related, but one of my co-workers in an internship has used dvorak for years, and it didn't do anything for him in the end. Now he's stuck with that layout and has to switch to it every time he wants to get anything done in a PC that doesn't use that layout or his work slows to a crawl.

KI was one of the first games that made me care about improving combos (even if it's just for that sweet high score list). Combo breaker system was cool too, you needed to land them to unlock the longer combos and stuff. I'd like to see that kinda thing brought back in an interesting way, even if competitively it turns out to be crap!

jackofarcades posted:P4A is a weird situation because the characters are from games which are partly dating sims. For the record, I haven't actually played P3/P4, just seen a few videos. What I got from social links is basically POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, there's also romantic relationships and sleeping together/having sex is heavily implied through some conversations. The persona universe is not all rainbows and poo poo, I know people would raise an eyebrow to certain characters's backgrounds ( for example, Naoto  ).That said, you still get POWER OF FRIENDSHIP stuff from P4A, specially if you play story mode. However, there's no social link stuff in it and story mode is just a visual novel where you fight in between reading, it's actually pretty cool. I can't think of anybody who would have played P3/P4, be weirded out because they equate social links = dating sim and not play P4A as a result. These guys probably exist, but they're very likely a minority. I can easily think of a lot of things people would find weird or offensive in many fighting games, and P4A being associated with another game whose mechanics seem like that of a dating sim is near the bottom of that list. Your Average Joe won't even know what a dating sim is, and to the random gamer who likes RPG's even the whole romantic stuff is just a means to unlock the strongest arcanas/personas/whatever.

It's been surprisingly tame in my experience.. people enjoy the aesthetics and the whole "omg its persona!" but keep playing it because they enjoy it as a fighting game. Maybe not the best example since the series was conceived initially as a fighting game, but I've played the arcana heart series and it can be quite a mixed bag as far as the people you interact with..

Persona lets you buffer inputs in general by holding down said input, works like a charm. In some cases KOF lets you do buffer normal attacks too? I know for sure you can buffer any special/super move similarly by holding down the relevant button/s.

Seashell Salesman posted:What if it was only checking for those presses a posteriori and didn't care when you started pressing the input? Would that be indistinguishable to you, would it be what you expect? If I'm interpreting what you're asking correctly, that would be more like reversal windows in SF4 for example, where you complete a special/super/ultra motion and press the button within a 4 frames of your first possible frame where you can act again.. or how you have a certain amount of frames after completing a motion to press the button to do a special move. This is different from holding down a button or even direction in persona, since what it actually does is repeat the input for the next couple of frames that you're holding it down, with the exception that it doesn't affect motions (but you can still do stuff like hold up to help you jump at the first possible frame).

Seashell Salesman posted:No, what I mean is say I'm in recovery from some move and I start holding down LP, when I exit recovery I'm still holding down LP and a LP normal comes out. Is that the same as the scenario from P4A you were talking about before? That's one of the main uses for it yeah, but at least in P4A it has other uses. For example with Shadow Labrys most of her EX moves don't actually make her perform a move, rather it's her persona that performs the move. Since you have to input a motion into C+D, that corresponds to doing a throw for Shadow Labrys herself, and if you want to avoid the throw's recovery, you can do [some motion]>A+C(hold)~D. You do A+C to perform an air turn, and then you "plink" into D to satisfy the EX move input, avoiding the throw whiff recovery while still doing the EX move you want. Holding down A+C ensures you get the C+D you want for the EX input, and the game has a small window where you can "plink" individual buttons to form simultaneous inputs, so it's useful to hold the buttons down in this case.

Seashell Salesman posted:If I'm understanding this right, the important part here is that normally pressing C + D would be picked up as both a throw and an EX move and both would come out (since one is not performed by the player)? This is definitely not a scenario I had anticipated, but it seems like it would be satisfied by regular buffering of input and just not requiring that the C button is up before the EX move sequence is input. For the first part, yes that's the problem. I don't know what you're trying to say after that

Seashell Salesman posted:Say the instants we have polled are (just listing buttons down, all others are up): There's probably no explicit mechanic needed to handle this situation, it may very well be just an implicit feature of button holds repeating inputs for a few frames (I could be wrong, it's just what I've been able to infer from playing P4A). I was just mentioning an example where you don't necessarily use the button hold solely for doing actions immediately after recovering from something. In this case I'd imagine the P4A engine inspects how long it took you from the special move motion to the C+D required to complete it and determine if you did it fast enough. I forgot to add you do this while jumping, there's a couple of things going on as a whole so I'll summarize it below: 1. Perform special move motion in the air (214 for example) 2. Input A+C and hold it, this turns around the character in the air, leaving you vulnerable for only 4 frames total vs entire throw animations which is undesirable. At this point the special move hasn't come out yet. 3. Immediately go into D. You're still performing an air turn, the game registers the EX move since you were holding A+C. A+C+D is actually burst, but since you're doing an air turn the game doesn't allow you to burst. You can't burst unless you're cancelling off a hit, in a neutral state, waking up or being hit yourself. A more simple example is how you can make bursts easier by doing D~A+C while holding D (at least with Shadow Labrys). Pressing C first accidentally would do a persona attack which locks out burst temporarily until my persona is done with the move. If I do D~A+C, D is the command to make my persona block, which doesn't lock out my burst and keeps him from doing any other move as long as I keep holding it. In fact, I could be doing something like: code:

Dias posted:Well, for what's worth, my friend that mains Naoto says that her SMP loop is pretty easy to do, and I know he's not an execution wizard, so... Executing the loop is easy, as well as knowing how to go into it since it's mostly memorization. Where it gets hard is when people begin to be aware of the common starters and working your way around that. Naoto can even do SMP loops that begin with her silence super, so she can do unburstable 8k or something crazy like that. Sadly her gameplan is heavily influenced by SMP loops, since she lacks in most areas otherwise (poor health, poor anti airs, DP and oki aren't that great, etc.) and as such, if you're forced to spend meter defensively or use your burst it's almost definitely going to cripple you.

Redmark posted:The worst thing that can happen to a competitive game is to be completely figured out. When you have something as barebones as Divekick you run a high risk of that actually happening. I suspect that with kick factor and headshots being what they are every match is going to be a 5-0 pretty soon. Headshots followed by an inescapable death next round will become a common thing, but 5 rounds is still plenty of chances to realize what you're doing wrong. First time I played a seth he was also a really good one, I got 5-0'd but was already taking rounds by the second match. Interestingly, even Divekick has (relatively small) execution requirements: Mr. N can kara cancel his kick into float to fake people out, and you can hold float, release dive, hit dive again to do a double jump mid-float. It might be those little things that could give you the edge. That said, my biggest criticism is that all the characters who don't have a normal jump or kick but something else actually takes away from the core concept a little bit. You have to learn how to deal with gimmick characters much like how you'd learn matchups, it's not as straight to mindgames as one would think. For those on the fence, $10 is a good price! People may consider it to have the bare minimum, but if you care about netplay and having a bunch of ppl to play it has GGPO. I really think this is the kind of game that should have a demo though.

Dj Meow Mix posted:I ran a Divekick set up at school here for a club promotion the whole afternoon and it worked out great! Folks had a good time and there was lots of laughing, even got some folks who wouldn't be interested in fighting games normally to join up. In 9 hours of gameplay already, I think I've gotten my $10 worth. That said I think the crowd hype dies fairly quickly for the game. Having seen the few animations so many times probably killed that off, but the line to keep playing the game never shrank. Oh god I just realized the yolo gem counterpick on Jefailey is legitimately terrible. His head loving balloons into max volume and the other guy is in permanent mini kickfactor, poo poo is almost ST Akuma 10-0 matchup if you use someone who goes over him easily like Shoals. Regarding netplay: I tried some matches earlier and 50-70ms is pretty much offline to me, but I heard seth can cause some gnarly rollback action with all his teleporting. For reference I saw other people on streams get 30ms on ranked so latency can go really low, and others attest 100ms is still smooth.
