Nintendo 3DS - Best Handheld Today

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/23/breaking-nintendo-announces-the-3ds-more-news-at-e3/
A press release over on Nintendo's website appears to confirm the company's next handheld console. It is temporarily named the "Nintendo 3DS," and is said to include hardware and software that will enable "3D effects" without needing any glasses. The console is said to be backwards compatible with DS and DSi games, and is expected to go on sale (in Japan, presumably) "during the fiscal year ending March 2011" -- so within the next year. The press release has no pictures or other information, and save for the fact that it appears as a file on Nintendo's website, there's no other official information about the new hardware.

Uh, cool. I hope it has PSP level graphics by now with which to show off the 3D.

Nidhogg

Nidhogg is FINALLY slated for release this year. I'm really excited about it, even-though I've never had a chance to play it myself, and I was wondering what the opinions are on this game from those who have played it and have a competitive nature.

I've always been attracted to the psychological game in fighting games (never started playing myself though) and when Nidhogg releases I plan to sink a lot of time in it and become really good at, so my questions to you are how big is the psychological aspect of this game? What are the chances this will become a competitive fighting game with a decent player-base? Do you think it will be main-stage at EVO 2014. And most of all, please tell me anything interesting about this game from your experience playing it!

Rules/Summary:

You buy a gift, you get a gift. People who skimp on the gifts without a reasonable/provable explanation get BANNED. Seriously, the mods don't fuck around on this. I will ban your ass myself and will be happy to.

2010 members and earlier only. This is not hardcoded, as there are more recent members who are well known by everyone in the community. We'll let these members through by general consensus, but don't expect to get in anyways. Final word will rest with me and the few people helping me out.
If you don't get in, don't take it personally, these things just take a lot of trust and some people have gotten dicked in the past.

The minimum is $30. SHIPPING NOT INCLUDED. If you can't afford this, if you can barely afford this, don't bother joining. Lack of funds come Christmas time is not an acceptable excuse, especially if someone sent you a $50 gift. Expect a shortage of funds around Christmas, and plan accordingly.

Sign ups will run until Midnight of November 7th. I'm not capping the number of entrants this year but if ever by some miracle I get too much I'll make a decision.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Post when you receive your gift! Pictures are preferred but a thank you post with a little detail would be very much appreciated.

When Shipping, you MUST get a tracking number. I've been lenient on people whose packages got lost but not this year. Get a tracking number once you ship and send it to me in a pm with "Secret Santa: Tracking" in the title. If I don't get a tracking number, you don't get the benefit of the doubt.

Important things to remember:
-I'll give assignments out in the second week of November. Please don't ship out right away. I appreciate the enthusiasm but this is supposed to be for Christmas, don't make your recipient get his present a month and a half early.
-I know I keep saying this every year but I will be strict on shipping. Last year we had on in March and that's BS. If the gift has not come in January, you best be able to produce a shipping number that proves you sent it out earlier or I will ban. Again, BUY THE TRACKING NUMBER OPTION.

Once you signup, I will randomly assign people to each other, and contact each person the name of the person who's name they revealed. When everyone has received their gift, I will reveal the matchups

Well! Now that the bad stuff is out of the way let's get on with it. To sign up you send me an EMAIL to Valaaris[at]gmail[dot]com with the Title "Sign up: *your username*" along with the following information:
1. SRK Handle
2. Full Name
3. Full Address
4. Are you willing to ship internationally?
5. Stuff you like (Feel free to link your amazon/newegg/thinkgeek/etc wishlists)
I'm sorry I can't do PM's but the new system on SRK doesn't allow for folder or any sort of organization which is something I crave and need when I do these things.

Shipping info:
There are too many people internationally now so when you mark if you ship internationally or not keep in mind that Canada will NOT be considered international. I'm sorry if you find that BS but last year I had to assign people to others they had the previous year because 60% of people refused to ship out of the US.

Don't send me an email if you aren't eligible. I don't care if you beg, buy premium, send me your address, send me dick pix.

Let's do it! Holiday spirit and all that shit!

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL - The Pasco County Sheriff's Office reports that one person has died as a result of a shooting inside the Cobb Grove 16 Theater in Wesley Chapel.

Investigators are calling the shooting an isolated incident.

They say two couples were at the theater watching previews for the movie the "Lone Survivor" when the shooting occurred. The male suspect and his wife got into an argument with another couple who were sitting in front of them. The couple seated in front was texting. The male suspect pulled out a gun and shot twice.

Both were airlifted to a Tampa-area hospital.The male victim is deceased and the female victim was injured with non-life threatening injuries, according to the PCSO.

The theater was evacuated. A good Samaritan inside the theater was able to detain the suspect until deputies arrived. Moviegoers Charles and Alex Cummings witnessed the shooting. Blood from the shooting was visible on Alex's lower leg and pants.

The names of the suspect and victims have not been released.

Pasco Fire Rescue and Pasco Sheriff's Office responded to the scene which is under control.

The theater is located at 6333 Wesley Grove Blvd.

EVO 2014. This is it. Challenge to a couple scrubs...

$

Ok.

We have 6+ months to prepare. 

I want to challenge Jr Rodriguez to a money match in 3rd Strike at EVO 2014.  CRT only. Xbox only (because my stick is Xbox)

Why?  Because I think he sucks at 3rd Strike.  Plain and simple.  He fronts like he's good well LET ME SHOW YOU HOW BAD YOU ARE PIKACHUAKUMA AKA MASTER OF SCRUBS.

It can be any amount. $1 or $500. 

I will use Chun Li, but if he requests I can use another character lol. 

Ft10 is good. 

Please spam this on his Facebook and YouTube!  (I'm banned lol)

Another person I'd like to play is Floe, because he thought he was legit enough to be a representative for the 3rd Strike community for 3soe.  He even backed it up saying he got 9th place at Evo a few times and it was his main game.  I'd like to show him how little he knows about the game. 

Same stipulation.  I would probably use Makoto, Urien, Yun, Ken, or Dudley in this match. Maybe Q, lol. 

Chun Chun would be TOO easy. 

I don't think JR or floe will take the bets though. In fact, I'm 100% sure they won't. It doesn't matter. I was just throwing it out there to get some kind of excitement going. 

So...

This challenge also goes out to anyone. We can play a ft5 or ft10 for $5. I didn't get to play many of these last year and I regret it. No hard feelings to the loser. I want to be friends with everyone!

I'll use Chun if you request but I can use many other characters too.

If you're that worried about money, we'll call the bet $5 and I'll buy you a beer after (thus rendering the bet useless).

This will take place at HOOTERS HOTEL during EVO. Sorry if it's a bit far from the event, but this hotel is where we scumbags belong.  Plenty of dirt whores and 3:30am 25 cent wings or whatever the happy hour is. A true garbage dump.  Can't go wrong. 

Buy your plane tickets. It's the event you don't wanna miss!  

If you don't know us So Cal guys, don't worry.  Akuma Hax will tell you we are more than welcoming to newcomers (he's one of us now).


So what's it gonna be guys?

Who will the mysterious 5th new character be?

$
0
0
We got the SFxT characters ported, but the most intriguing bit of news was the 5th character will be one that has never appeared in the street fighter franchise of games. The wording is interesting as it seems to point to Capcom using a non street fighter character that they have already created rather than a brand new creation just for sfiv 2014. Possibilities....

1. Asura (Asura's Wrath)-That game uses the sfiv engine, so they can take the Asura model add some animations and a full moveset and call it a day. This is the easiest and most likely I believe.

2. A character from earlier more obscure Capcom fighters. Possabilites include characters from Rival Schools or Red Earth (Tessa would be real cool)

3. Haggar (Already in MVC3...however we already have Zangief so this doesn't excite me)

4. Character from a non fighting Capcom game

5. A brand new character created for this update

Paradise Arcade Shop, LED Joysticks, Buttons, Mods and more

We have been floating around for a little while posting and received a recommendation to start a thread. Paradise Arcade Shop is based in Hawaii, working to bring a variety of controls to the arcade and fight stick market. We carry a number of different options for price points in both sticks and buttons, but we only sell products that we would use. That means, there is a difference between a Porsche and a Toyota, we see a place for both of those in the market, and we won't sell Toyota's at Porsche prices.

I say "we" as Ponyboy likes to harass me about, because the company is my wife and I. For those of you who have ordered already(thank you) she packs the orders and answers about 90% of the emails (mostly logisitics, but she is answering the "How to I light an LED" questions now) This is also her full time job and my part time job. She works hard to send out all stock items in 1-2 days, and rides my ass about the cutsom builds so they stay close to 1-3 days(We build LED sticks to order, and some of our game systems)

I have been an active membe of KLOV, Coinopspace, and BYOAC for sometime, and we sell on EBAY and Amazon. I will probably edit the intro down in the future, but I wanted just let people know who "we" are and who I am. Thank you for all the support and orders we already have received and now...it's time for the good stuff!

Mortal Kombat 9 Stick mod products!!!!! If you want new controls with the same forms to just upgrade your stick try some of these IL products and microswitch upgrades.

Translucent Concave IL buttons - A great upgrade to your stick, especially with...

IL-lumination LED pads - Available in RGB or single color
[media=youtube]P7zdGGsF2oI[/media]

IL Eurosticks provide "Happ Competition" Style with an upgrade in quality

And, for amazing light touch, upgrade any Happ or IL button to our 20 gram micros (Please note that these are 20 gram max spec and really are closer to 15 grams of actuation force)

We also carry JLF's, JLW's, LS-32, LS-32-01, LS-40, PS-14-KN pushbuttons, re-released PS-14-K Skeleton buttons, Paradise LED sticks, custom ball tops and a variety of hollow shafts(we also have 10 new custom hollow shafts on order, need a long JLF shaft or want to put a ball top on a Eurostick joystick?)

Finally... we have two new ball tops in, Pearls and Emerald Green that will be available shortly and were built to match the Rollie Buttons.

And the answer is "Yes, the pearl will light up."

I'm hyped as all hell for this. Everyone wanted a new GG and we got it, GOD DAMNIT YES.

The new look is going to get a fair amount of hate. But to be honest I'm trying my HARDEST to care less.

Game play impression:

Developer interview:

image

-Based on Alien not Aliens
-No hordes, just a single alien
-Alien is only semi scripted, no defined patrol, it's pathing changes depending on player action and movement
-"Defensive weapon crafting"
-Multiple ways to play through game
-No "lock and load" moments
-"Amnesia in space"
-8-10 Hours

Very worthwhile preview impression and developer interview: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/444067/previews/horror-reawakens-in-alien-isolation/

I've never played Aliens: Colonial Marines nor am I familiar with Creative Assembly, but I've seen enough videos of A:CM to be super skeptical of any new Alien game especially produced by SEGA and there are at least a dozen developers who I'd pick to make an Alien game before guys known for an RTS franchise. That being said my skepticism has morphed into cautious optimism after seeing the short tidbit of game play shown, visually it looks a lot like a first person Dead Space with less vibrancy which is ironic since DS ripped off Alien in a lot of ways. Also, I'm not sure if "Amnesia in Space" is a correct comparison just yet, but it clearly has potential and looks visibly survival horror rather than shootbang.....let's hope it stays that way.

I'm pleasantly surprised it's being released this year given how recently it was announced, hope it isn't rushed out to assembly like Colonial Marines was.

Hit confirms into Denjin Mode (Hado Kakusei) Research + stuff

$

Heyo,

It's been a while, but I figured it would be good to post up my research for Denjin Mode. I got the idea to do a post this after watching Brian Kusagano pull some tricks with it, and I realized there was more utility aside from safe DHCs/Useful Team Hypers we're used to. Granted, this isn't ultra-amazing, but it allows more possible ways to convert stray hits into a combo.

I'll try to update this as best as I can with my knowledge.

What Denjin Mode (a.k.a., Hado Kakusei) is:
- Ryu glows blue for the duration.
- Lasts an 'X' number of frames (which means the meter WILL slow down during combos, cinematic excluded).
- Yellow Health slowly converts to Red Health (Guesstimate around 10k per Denjin mode) .
- 15% Speed Boost to everything (including assists).
- Changes Shinku Hadoken and Shinku Tasumaki to their 'Powered Up' versions.

What it's useful for:
- Moderately safe install Hyper.
- Moderately safe way to cancel unsafe Hadokens/ or H/M Jodan Kicks
- Somewhat faster movement and attacks.
- Modified versions of the other two Hyper Combos, one being much better (Shin Tatsumaki), and one being...'debatable'(Shin Hadoken).
- If done correctly, you have a way to create around a 775k+ damage combo anywhere on the screen with a net loss of one meter (or two, with the right conditions).
- If done correctly, you can rebuild the meter you just spent in an combo.

What I'd like to focus on are the ways Ryu can convert into Denjin mode and continue the combo. In general, Ryu needs a safe way to cancel his Hadokens/Jodans/Hado Shoryukens without placing him at greater risk than he usually is by throwing out a Shinku Hadoken or a Shinku Tatsu. At the cost of little bit of health, it's possible to get him out of sticky situations a little easier (though anticipation is required).

Ways to convert stray hits into a Denjin Mode combo:
- Off Hadoken (best way to tell is that when you perform the Hyper, you still see the blast from hitting the opponent prior to Hyper Freeze)
- Off Jodan kick, hit (H Full or mid Range, everything else corner) or block. (Tends to eat up valuable hitstun deterioration for combos, but still an option)
- Off Ren Hadoken (Easier to confirm instead of Hadoken, best by canceling before the last weak Hadoken hits).
- Off Baku Hadoken (Best when close to corner, but highly impractical due to difficulty to land a raw Baku Hadoken).

Things to note about conversions:
These are highly timing/spacing/anticipation dependent. If you're off, then it won't convert to a combo. Alternatively, if you know you aren't able to convert into a combo, the opponent recovers in enough frames to force a mixup on them.

Some combo examples:

Mid screen:
- L, M, H, F+H, Ren Hadoken, Denjin Mode (Cancel as you release the last Hadoken), Dash + M, cr. H, F+H, L Tatsu, (M, H, F+H, L Tatsu) x2, cr.H, S, Tiger Knee into Shin Tatsumaki Hyper.
- (Maximum possible distance from opponent) cr. M, F+H, L Hadoken -> Immediate cancel to Denjin Mode, Dash + M, cr. H, F+H, L Tatsu, (M, H, F+H, L Tatsu) x2, cr.H, S, Tiger Knee into Shin Tatsumaki Hyper.

Corner:
- L, M, H, F+H, L Hadoken -> Immediate cancel to Denjin Mode, Dash + M, cr. H, F+H, L Tatsu, (M, H, F+H, L Tatsu) x2, cr.H, S, Tiger Knee into Shin Tatsumaki Hyper.

Opponent caught in the air:
- L Hadoken -> Immediate cancel to Denjin Mode, Dash + M, cr. H, F+H, L Tatsu, M, H, F+H, L Tatsu, cr.H, S, Super Jump Tiger Knee cancel into Shin Tatsumaki Hyper.
- Ren Hadoken -> Immediate cancel to Denjin Mode, Dash + M, cr. H, F+H, L Tatsu, M, H, F+H, L Tatsu, cr.H, S, Super Jump Tiger Knee cancel into Shin Tatsumaki Hyper.

Video Examples:
To be added on a later date, if I get around to it -_-;

SSFIV:AE for PC or Xbox 360?

Hi, I'm fairly new to fighting games, though I used to play casually back in the days of SF2:HE, SSF2, MK's, etc. I want to get into the genre and become really good, but I'm wondering whether I should get SSFIV:AE for the PC or Xbox 360? I've been preferring PC because I may end up selling my xbox and I don't want to have to pay for xbox live. What do you guys think? Does the PC version have more people playing online than Xbox 360?

Pokemon X/Y General Discussion Thread ver 2.0

Rochester, New York -- "Less than free." (Updated 1/13)

$
0

Welcome to the newer and updated home of Rochester's FGF (fighting game family).

This thread is the meeting point for all of Rochester's fighting game players. You can find updated information here regarding who we are, what we're doing, and what we're playing. If you have any questions, please post in the thread or PM any of our members!
Who we are:
We are Rochester's primary gaming scene. We primarily involve ourselves in competitive fighting games, but we do not mind getting in some side action in anything else where the term "victory" is applicable. We primarily achieve conquest by way of Team Qanba and its arcade sticks; pad warriors are welcome to join the ranks, but are subject to RAW treatment (Random Acts of Wedgies, that is).
What we are:
We are as young as it takes to buy a copy of Mortal Kombat 9 at the store and as old as it takes to get kinks in your wrist while performing Hadoukens. We don't all have cars, but we can get a ride whenever and wherever we need to from each other. We are all shapes, sizes and colors and we have no problem making fun of anyone else's shape, size or color. We are supportive, friendly, and ferociously competitive. While we are all these things, we do have room and encourage casual players who have fighting games as more of a playful hobby than the rest of us.
When we are:
We meet typically twice a week; once during the middle of the week and once during the weekend. We don't always let total strangers into our homes, but we're happy to host games once those strangers aren't totally strange. The Rochester Institute of Technology holds its chapter's meeting of the Electronic Gaming Society once a week during the school semester, as well. We have a tournament once every few months. Ranbats and danisen leagues are scheduled for once a season and regional-level tournaments are scheduled for a few times a year; all these meetings are venue dependent.
Where we are:
Rochester has traditionally bred champions for every kind of competitive aesthetic imaginable. The Rochester fighting game family seeks to extend this tradition with and through the spirit of hard work, friendship, knowledge, and sacrifice. We take some games more seriously than others. We play just about anything and we're not afraid to travel just about anywhere to play the games we want to play. We're mostly inclusive, we're kinda nerdy too, but we're outgoing and love to make merry.
Why we are:
We're here as a cohesive fighting game community because of how difficult fighting games can be to organize locally these days. FPS games, MOBAs and even hardcore MMOs have much broader player bases and more concrete organizing power. By forming a local community, we've created an environment that fosters what any player needs to reach the next level in the game(s) they want to play; even for those who are looking at fighting games with a playful hobby in mind, we provide all the resources you need to perform with a minimum efficacy in order to compete with everyone else that plays.

Tips for newcomers:
Step #1: Introduce yourself in the thread! Make sure to at least tell us your first name because Internet names are typically pretty dumb.

Step #3: Play games. All the games. Or just the ones you want. If you have questions about meetups, where they happen and when they happen, just post up! New faces are always welcome and most of us have been defanged, so you should be alright.

Step #4: Profit. Congratulations! In this short amount of time, barring any time you may or may not have needed to cure yourself of any head-in-ass syndrome (if applicable), you've become a member of Rochester's FGF. Sit back, call someone a scrub, get bodied, and finish the night with a cold beer.

Step #5: This hidden step is required for all newcomers. Don't be a dick. Please.

I've done some reading on Slagcoin.com and now I realize what kind of traits I should focus on. So far joysticks differences are mainly.

•Engage Distance
•Throw Distance
•Tension
•Pivot Quality
•Neutral Precision
•Engage Precision
•Durability

I am a Tekken player first of all. My old arcade stick was a "Hori Fighting Stick 3", I loved the joystick on that arcade stick but I do not have any idea what brand it is although I would like to know. http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Fighting-Stick-3-Playstation/dp/B000MWE3BI/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_i
Based off description of most joysticks I'm guessing it's most likely a Happ. I've read on joysticks but even with all the information it's hard to figure out exactly what it is that I'm looking for because I don't have experience using different joysticks.

So far I think I'm looking for a stick with a short-medium engage distance, short throw distance, heavy tension, average - high pivot quality, good neutral precision, good engage precision, and of course durability. I play Tekken so I need to make back-neutral-back-downback motions often along with forward-neutral-down-downforward motions often as well. I also prefer a square gate if that is important.

I have a Sanwa-JLF but the problem with this joystick is that I feel as if too much movement is required in general. On my old arcade stick I did a very quick back-back-downback motion without really ever having to think about the neutral input. On this Sanwa-JLF I have to actually make sure it goes back to neutral which really hinders me; it also has a long throw distance which isn't good because I need to make quick double back or forward movements consecutively.

What kind of joystick do you think fits my preference?

EDIT: I use a Madcatz Soul Calibur 5 Soul Edition for PS3

Since we have a frustration thread I thought Id make an appreciation thread expressing all the good things and small little things you like about gouken and the reason you play him.

Let it out and lets be positive only. Negativity is more then welcome in the Frustration thread.

He may have a hard time winning but hes by far my favorite character in the SF4 series.

Shout outs to EX tastu your godlike.

Shout outs to sweep

For as long as I play street fighter 4 I will rep the old man.

A new thread should have been started once we reached 10K posts so here it is. Old thread here.

Naruto Thread Rule #1: Do not argue with dumb people.
Rule #1a: An extension of rule number 1, do not quote musolini/MC187 or whatever name he spooned out of his alphabet soup that morning. Quoting him defeats the purpose of the rest of us having him on ignore. It's best not to reply to him at all, but if you feel compelled to do so please don't make the rest of us have to go through it.
