I'm beginning to think that Capcom has cut their entire testing staff.
Why pay people to test their games when they can have you guys pay them to test their games.Quote:

How bad do you suck at 3S? This matters.
In which way? As far as I know, as long as you beat arcade mode with a character, you unlock their alternate colors. I've beaten the game with Ryu, Ken, Makoto, Hugo and I think with Dudley as well, but the only people I've been given an option for their alt colors is Ryu. Unless I am missing something big here, I don't see what the holdup is for not having the colors.
Oh, then I don't know. I always just pick the original outfit so I never needed alt. colors.
Whatever color is on short is probably the one I will always use. I've seen a lot of people online with the paid palette swap, that is just kind of =[
Unlocking colors is easy. Beat arcade mode on default settings with that character.
Then go to downloadable content ----> my content -----> double impact colors
Sean has a ballin' Dark purple top with light purple pants.
I'm pretty sure he knows the procedure, since he says he'd unlocked Ryu's 2I colors.
I hooked up my 360 at my new place and finally got this. Oh, it was a grind to beat the game with Ryu and Makoto to unlock their 2I colors, but it was worth it. Especially since I earned enough points to forever get rid of that horrible "remixed" rap that plays on the title screen.
I'll probably play weekends mostly, since by the time I'm ready to play during the week, most of you are already asleep.
Anyone want to play a few rounds today? Send text if so.
A few questions:
Is there any way to get rid of that shit on the screen when you are not in widescreen mode? I don't know who thought that display would be anything but awful.
Do any of you know the screen adjustment scale setting for 1080p that sets it back to the default? For that matter, does anybody know the scren adjustment scale setting for 1080p so the art assets between matches don't look like they were chewed by my dog?
Level up all that shit and it'll go away. And shut up anyway, it's awesome.
I like those counters on the side, it's a wonderful reminder that after ~900 rounds I've only air parried once.
Achievement counters are nice, and it's better than stock art just eating up empty space.
But it's not better than empty black.Quote:

Most of 'em are just regular 'ol bad, but every now and then you get to see the new Gill art. Ha ha ha ha holy shit.
Yeah, why did they even waste money to pay someone to do new art and music when you have all this beautiful work from the original game? Lose the drab grey menu color and paste the original art everywhere. A collection like this of a well respected 10 year old game should be a celebration of the original in all areas - not some halfassed, ugly menu, new age digital painter garbage. Who the hell designed this and how do they have a job in the industry? I hate them whoever it was. Look how the original opening movie showed mainly sketchy/pencil-ey renders of the characters. Shit had style and was super rad.Quote:

I started working on modding the d-pad on my Madcatz fightpad to improve its accuracy:
http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php...l-mods.109309/
The right side is already working way better after my first attempt. I went in practice mode and was bangin' out supers and specials one right after the other without dropping a single one. The left side of the d-pad is still a little fucked up, so I will go back and try to figure out what I did on the right side that worked, and why it didn't work on the left side.
Also going to change the art out while I've got it open. Penis landscape fightpad, anyone?
Hahaha, I think I outdid myself on this one. Can't wait to see the look on Kinko dude's face when I ask him to print me off a hi-res vinyl of this:

They really should have sunk a ton of money into this and created the perfect standard interface/feature set that could have Alpha 1/2/3 and any other CPS2/3 game dropped into it at no cost.
But it's Capcom so you can't expect any real thought to be put into their future as far as anything downloadable goes.
This is simple yet elegant.Quote:

That is definitely a valid concern, and one that jumped out at me immediately. Reams and reams of official art spanning three versions of the game and they have the gall to draw up something new that looks like shit and paste it all over the UI. It could have been so much better with less work! Unforgivable.Quote:

Yet I still scratch my head over how this had a larger budget than HDSTurbo. Oodles of coke and hookers for all involved confirmed. The leftover went to clipart and an emulator front end.Quote:

I'm curious. I've heard people complaining about the new music and the need to unlock the original music. On the PS3 I have it the other way around. It comes with the original stuff and you unlock the new music. Did they reverse that on Xbox, or is everybody talking about the title music?
The "original" music you are talking about is the Dreamcast/PS2 arranged music. It's not the arcade music.
Pay attention.Quote:

WHY ARE PEOPLE BUYING THIS
Mike Z wrote an article defending GGPO on consoles. It's kinda cute but I get that he's doing it so his friend makes money. I can say the article is misleading but it isn't, it's the hype behind GGPO that's misleading. It will never make games lag-free. Ever. It may appear that way but lag is in the background. You either get smooth play and janky roll-back OR you get hiccupy gameplay but get the reaction as it's happening.
I never want to play fighters online again.
Because it is fun, and it is also awesome.Quote:

and I think Mzo is yelling about the palette swap pack.
Wow. I didn't even know that the DC version had arranged music. I've never seen this game in an arcade in my life, and I had the DC version day 1.Quote:

This is my brain on TNL.
Anyway, I was checking out NG and 2I yesterday for the first time in forever. Is it just me, or do they both have way better presentation than 3S? It seems like NG has almost 2 backgrounds for every fighter, where 3S has two fighters for every background. Not only that, the backgrounds in 3S are just...plain. But I do kinda' like how the 3S backgrounds are unsaturated and low contrast. It really makes the fighters stand out.
Yeah, especially Elena's stage...

I Know my 3S.Quote:

I agree with this as well, it's like adding the new characters meant they had to cut back on the presentation in general. It's definitely a downgrade from 2I in that respect. Then they ruined Sean for funsies.Quote:

Rage.
I think it's kind of hilarious how everyone went from Y U NO USE GGPO to DONT USE GGPO after a game with GGPO came out.
I think it was FirstBlood that said the first priority of a fighting game on the internets should be matching up people with good connections. That's what makes SSF4 playable online imo.
I wish you asked me this a few weeks ago.Quote:

Do you not have a "game input"?

I think I'll just leave this here.

Rough.
I do not, and how effective they are varies wildly anyway.Quote:

I seriously doubt it, but that sounds great. What's the TV and model number? I am looking for a better set.
mines good too.
Don't question my eyes, bitch. I also have a passive mixer running into powered speakers as my audio setup and I get zero lag there too. No slapback drumfills, or delayed vocals.Quote:

Love my Samsung. I still have to thank Trailsword for the recommendation. I have no lag on 3S, just slow ass fingers and backwater (yeehaww!) DSL.Quote:

Best I've seen is around 10~12 ms, which isn't really noticeable. You're probably around that range.
If you listen to what people post on message boards, 90% of them have lagless televisions. They're idiots. I would trust Josh more than the usual poster, though.
I have a Samsung LCD and definitely don't have zero lag. I would say maybe 30ms, if I'm lucky.
It's older, though. Planning to replace it next year.
Mine is from 2008. It's LCD. I'm sure there is some video lag, but not enough that I can notice it in Rock Band, which is what matters to me. Remember... this is coming from "actual musician" I set audio and video lag to 0 in that game, and shit comes out perfect.
LCD. 6 months old. It has a designated Game system hookup in the back. So, everytime I turn on the 360 I switch to that input and voila. Game time.
I don't notice it at all, but I blame that on a few factors. I have crappy DSL and I should be finally getting FiOS on the 19th, so currently my internet connection could be blamed for things. Two, I don't really notice things like that, but I did try and see how long it took for button press to screen reaction took. Then I remembered Ramon's whole wireless controller complain. Now I have a wire controller and its way more responsive.
Game plays fine for me in player matches.
I just don't play ranked.
Bunch of super salty fools have invaded this game. Always happens to online fighters about 1 month in.
I like to play random people when no friends are around.
the new pattern:
Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Sean once. Get kicked.
Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Q once. Get kicked.
Search for lobby for 2 min. Wait in line for 3 min. Win with Twelve once. Get kicked.
Happened like 6 times last night.
Get messaged saying Im a spammer.
Make own lobby. No one joins.
If you cant handle losing even once, why even play online?
All. The. Fucking. Time.
yep. Maybe I should just stop with the randoms.
I do it when I have no other options. But sometimes I'll pick up my stick and go to The Next Level to play some good players.
Youre lucky. No arcades that I know of around here. Local friends are all ass at fighting games.
Definitely. There haven't been any arcades open around here for like 12 years. You remember the on at Century 3 Destro?
I am pretty happy with my computer monitor!
Hell yeah I remember CIII. The day MKII surprised released at the mall - people were going apeshit. Then kids were selling printout move books. They even had Samuraishodown upstairs. Good times. The arcade is still there downstairs but no fighting games.
EDIT: Actually Changeling, there must be something around here. I remember a couple months back playing randoms in SFIV - someone asked if I was in the Pittsburgh SF scene. That stuff is probably all down Oakland. I aint going down there, heh.
I was shocked to find that arcade here at Nashville here in the old rundown part of town. I didn't even know it existed 'til I saw the Mortal Kombat tournament listing on testyourmight.com a while back.
Check around on places like testyourmight and shoryuken. You never know what might be out there at some unknown hole in the wall.
Can we get back to this pls? WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T HE UNLOCK. I got the VP for winning with everyone AND unlocked all the pages of system direction. wtf.Quote:

Looks like my disconnect rate of 4 trillion% is going to be fixed, damnit.
Maybe your disconnect rate is why you keep getting kicked from player matches.
Nah people just fear the basketballs yo.
You should tell them that you ARE the Pittsburgh scene lol. I haven't been to Century III in years tho. I hate comin down rt 51 for anything. I don't party in Oakland anymore since I quit doing drugs lol. There prolly is something brewin' down at Pitt tho.Quote:
