I @%&$ing Hate Namco's Arcades!!!

The only thing that makes me mad at any arcade is when I have a controller that is either broken, or doesn't respond well to the commands I'm trying to imput, say in this case, any fighting game made by namco. They have it set where you can push up/down/right/left, that's great but can I move in diagnals? Trying any command that has you pushing down-left or something is a real nightmare and this is what's making my game more of a "jab-fest" then anything! I even did a test to see if they work on soulcalibur, but no... I could strafe, walk foward and back, BUT NOT ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. So trying to get some key moves from that was something I'm never going to figure out, only a few lucky times I've been able to work with it, but like the PSX controller, they only had a cross for direction in mind.
Now that I'm done tourturing myself, I'm gonna go play SC on DC for awhile to get the feeling out. Whoever at namco came up with not having the sticks set properly should be smacked upside the head! :mad:

What ticked me off is that a local theater had an SFIII:TS machine, but both controllers were broken. One had a non-functional left direction, and the other didn't have "up", or something like that. Damned kids not taking of of their games.

And it was one of the few arcade fighting games left in my city not bought by Six Flags. Gone now, but I should've offered to buy it off them...

Sounds like every other arcade you can find these days, Eva guy....

Hi! :)







too bad it was a SF3 machine, we had one for awhile, but they never got 2nd impact and took it out :(

Sad thing is, there are two arcades nearby, and the Namco one is the better of the two.
Gamer 1 (playing MvC2): Dude, you didn't even put up a fight! You just stood there while I swapped my characters on you to death!
Gamer 2: Hmm, the stick only lets me duck, and the only button that works on my side is start.
