Welcome to the loving grip of the PAX BISONICA!!!

For us the day Bison was revealed in SFV was the most important day of our lives, but for him... It was Tuesday. No really, it was Tuesday. ITT this we celebrate the return of our glorious dictator and/or tremble in awe. Here we can socialize with one another and talk about evil things. Plotting, scheming, and planning for world domination are the ideal preferred subjects but if not, let's keep it Street Fighter related at least.

No spamming (Unless it's Psycho Axe or HK).
No flaming (unless they are purple flames).
Also if you are Charlie Nash or Akuma GTFO immediately.


What was teased at first:

What was finally revealed:

YOUR LORD AND MASTER HATH ARRIVED!!!!

You pretty much know the deal by now. Before asking any questions, check out the FAQ if you can!

BEGIN COPY-PASTE PHASE 2 (again, with minor edits)

BASIC FAQ

Hey, where do you guys download your anime?

Tokyotosho is a good place to start with. It has a really simple search engine and covers almost all of the torrent releases when it comes to both anime and manga, be it subtitled or without.

You may want to get a Bittorrent client such as Utorrent to download any of the files there.

I got no time to download! I wanna watch my anime NOW!

No problem, sir. You've got streaming sites such as Goodanime.net or Anilinkz.com that could help you out on that.

How about manga?

You've got separate sites for this too. You can try any of the following:

Mangastream
OneManga
Mangastream.to Reccomended
Mangafox
Haven Reader
Batoto Reccomended

to satisfy your urge for reading manga.

You've told me where to get the anime and manga, but what shows should I watch or read?!

This all depends on the genre you're interested in. Obviously, a lot of shows tend to combine a number of them, but in general, these shows are usually enjoyed by the anime populace, so do give them a try.

This list will probably not cover everything, but mostly the major (and some minor ones). If there's anything major missing, do tell.

Many of these shows and manga are already licensed outside of Japan, so if you want to support them, buy their DVDs or books from you local or online retailer whenever you have the chance!

Some series may have a few other genres it can be defined into; and for these, you'll find 'em in brackets close to the title.

Disclaimer: Before checking the lists as a reference, read this post first.

Kaimana RGB LED Board thread, RGB animations and more! SRK Tech Talk 2013 Product of the Year!

November 3, 2013, 1:15 am

The Kaimana LED Controller is a powerful new tool for those looking to get the most out of their custom arcade stick or cabinet! This is the first board to used indexed LEDs in an arcade stick and allows for RGB control and animations. It is also the first fight stick RGB LED controller to provide full RGB control for joystick ball tops and hit box configurations.

image
image

The Kaimana can run conventional LEDs like the Pele's or Uila's with an adapter board or can be used to run the new Kaimana J's:
paradise-kaimana-j-rgb-led.jpg

Unlike previous LED boards, the Kaimana uses indexed LEDs so they can be connected in series and you don't have to have multiple wires running from the controller board to each LED
Diagram:
fetch.php?w=500&tok=633a2d&media=kaimana_led_chain_default.png
Example (jwyder's stick):
KaimanaInstaled_zpsdfcceb65.jpg

It is also designed for easy installation as a pass through board. The pinouts are the same as a PS360 so modding your dual mod stick could not get any easier!

Diagram:
KaimanaWiringDiagram_zps1cfc4cc6.png

I have installed three of these systems, and total install time, including installing all the buttons and joystick ahs been less than 1 hour each time using the Kaimana J's

Based on the infinitely flexible Arduino, this board can do just about anything you can imagine. Because it uses the extremely simple to learn Arduino programming language, this board opens the gate for anyone to create their own light patterns and shows.

As people invent there own animations series we will be adding them to the store for download and people who contribute programs will be able to earn store credit! As of right now the entire Ryu special move set for SFIV has been coded with animations. The best part is that all you need is a USB cable and any of the programs created can be loaded in seconds!

Boards and accessories can be purchased here:

The death of fighting games… A personal journey that hopefully can help MvC:I ???

December 9, 2016, 12:03 pm

Do we want to understand why fighting games lost their top-tier popularity over the years? As a self-avowed fighting game advocate, addict and promoter I dedicated years of my life promoting fighting games. From Street Fighter in the 80’s arcade, running tournaments in the arcades in the early 90’s I continued to build a scene for fighting games for over 20+ years. Personally building from the ground-up or involved in over 100+ tournaments produced over the course of those multiple decades.

Today I played MvC3 on PS4 and would rather played a FPS…. How low have I sunk? Did I leave fighting games or did fighting games leave me? I hope MvC:I can change things...

I know developers, players, and even I have a hard time understanding how fighting games left me and why many people prefer other games to fighters. And I worry for my first-true-love of gaming, fighting games, that they continue down a path unsure how to solve the two issues I keep addressing, player-accessibility and player-stickiness.

As I played MvC3 I wondered to myself, why? Why would I rather play a FPS right now? Because I want to help fix it for our beloved genre fighting games. Can we talk respectfully to one another to explore this taboo issue? Because if we can figure it out for myself perhaps we can help fix it for fighting games. I’m no different than your average joe, and the reason I wanted to play another game was really simple.

This was the reason why I turned off MvC3 and went to a FPS:

***I was frustrated that I could not access the moves I wanted.***

Ya see on a FPS I want to shoot, it happens. I want to perform a super-move it happens. I want to run it happens.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played on a joystick for decades for fighters. I also played on a PAD for the past couple of years to get used to it.

MODERN-DAY players who purchase a console 99.999% of them are not sold with an arcade stick. Sorry to break the news to us, 99.999% of the population plays on a PAD. And fighting games that sell 1 million copies 80% of those copies over 800K are the everyday players like me. We are never going to compete at high level tournaments. However we want to have fun at the game.

No fun when you can’t access the move you want.

Fighting games don’t exist in a vacuum, they have to compete against other game offerings, such as FPS, strategy games etc. And the offering is that other games allow the 80% of everyday-players the ability to access the move they want to perform.

Most responses I get when I talk to hardcore players is, well fighting games will never be able to lower the bar of player-accessibility. Sorry you have to learn the complex inputs to play that is the BASICS of fighting game play. Part of the game is the skill to perform the move (Yes for the hardcore but not for us everyday-video-game-players the 80% that buy the game) Or hardcore players try to make the argument something its not, that is im not trying to change the game for the hardcore, I’m trying to include the modern players of todays world. Trying to expand the appeal of our game to new people, but the hardcore just won’t have it.

Ok. You win hardcore. Fighting games will continue their high player-accessibility bar, and I’ll just move on to games that welcome me and the modern players of today world. We as a community of FGC are going to continue to loose players to games that are more accessible.

Sad.

It’s especially sad because I’m SURE developers want to sell more copies, in a perfect world developers would have a perfect offering. That perfect offering would be a product for the hardcore tournament players and the everyday-players such as me.

And this perfect offering can be achieved! There is no single silver bullet. However a robust feature-offering that enables everyday players access to the moves they want to perform easily can be included at no expense to the hardcore tournament players.

Can we not be obtuse about the ability to have two competent offering in the same game? Many games today have a PvP offering and a campaign offering, such as The Last of Us, Call of Duty, Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid… But fighting games now just cater to the PvP aspect and no PvE offering.

It’s not all negative, fighting game companies realize that a healthy PvP environment has to be continually nourished, new additions, updates, new characters. A step in the right direction to be sure! However ignoring the PvE aspect, no campaigns (NAMCO used provide campaigns), and these PvE aspect also need to continually nourished… However this is not even been conceptualized for fighters in the modern world. It’s like talking about a aliens, not even a real concept to people and if you talk about it your crazy!

Sad.

Am I the only one that feels that some important aspects of fighting games are stuck in the past? That some of these aspects are not even addressed? Such as:

Simple-mode was a step in the right direction for MvC3, but it did not go far enough. Stylish mode for Guilty Gear was the step in the right direction but it did not go far enough. (Yes macros for special moves should be allowed for everyday-video-game players/casuals) NAMCO used to offer side scrolling “campaigns” for their fighting games… no longer. Competing for high-scores used to have a level of fun and respect. Survival mode was a fun challenge and could be improved. (But computer A.I. is never addressed to be built upon and improved) And my biggest gripe of all fighters never developed a team aspect that could laser-focus a solution for “player-stickiness” that again is alien to the community and the genre. Fighters used to be progressive in new features, but now give the hardcore exactly what they want, scared to try something so new and radical that it offends the hardcore and thus hurts their product.

I write this as a hopeful fan, enthusiast, a person who loves fighting games and I know if positioned better fighters can have a revival!

I have answers to these problems, so do other people in development, and other people in the community. I would hope this just gets the discussion going.

This is not an attack on the hardcore, I consider myself hardcore for over 20+ years… but the things that drew me to fighters, specifically progressive additions to game-play and progressive features, are no longer the normal, they are the dinosaurs. Today it’s only about the PvP aspect, an aspect I will continue to enjoy and play. But I do so with my eyes wide open to how other products on the market are providing solutions and features that broaden the appeal and deepen the game beyond just the deep game-play mechanics.

Please don’t hate, I don’t hate, or go ahead and hate, that’s fine too. Because sometimes things don’t change unless there is a fight. Hopefully this at least will have discussion and help change things somewhere out in the ethos… that ethos being MvC: Infinite. As they are obviously trying to solve the player-accessibility issue, I say to that bravo.

Let's talk about money - The Finance Thread

yeah.. it's a longshot but i figured why not. i'm starting a new job on Tuesday. it's sorta big for me, and i'll be making more than i did in previous jobs.

here's the problem.. after fixed expenses (rent, utilities) i'm not sure how to allocate this income. i managed to build up some savings in my previous jobs, but i'd always eat into them due to lack of discipline. i've posted the gist of my questions below. i'm a little inexperienced with finances so some of these might be pretty basic:

- i know there's a rule out there that 10% of income should go into a risk-free interest bearing investment, like a bank account. do most people put 10%? (note: the rule i know is to save 10% before any expenses, including tax)

- if you decide to save more than 10%, how do you (personally) divide your savings? for example, 10% can go into a bank account, 10% into a high risk/high interest fund, and 5% under the mattress in cash (25% savings total).

- do you try to keep your savings above a certain level? say maybe $1000 minimum in the cheque account, $5000 in savings, etc?

- for the previous question, i figured another strategy would be to build up some reserves in a bank account (a few thousand), then once i reach a certain $ value, stick everything i'd normally save into a high risk/high interest account. good idea? when should a guy feel "comfortable enough" to start thinking about riskier options than a savings account?

===

feel free to post any info or questions on organizing finances. being the internet (and SRK), you can't expect to receive (or be taken as seriously as) an unqualified opinion from a financial advisor... but maybe you'll get a little help.

i don't have a mortgage, wife and kids, or car to pay off.. obviously some of you guys will. that's a different ball game to me, but i'd be interested in hearing how you guys juggle things.

Ive only had my pc for about 3 months but due to the awsomeness that is Steam I have picked up about 20 or 25 games since then. The only problem I have is I dont have any motherfuckin' friends to play that shit with. It gets lonely by yourself.

So if you play shit on Steam post in here, talk about games you're playing, rant about games you're playing, post them deals and just make some friends for that shit. Good times!

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/19/super-street-fighter-4-arcade-edition-coming-to-steam/

Steam deal right now is Worms Reloaded for 9.99. Im not into that so its not something im interested in but someone else might be.

Edit - Oh yeah, my Steam I.D. is...you guessed it, Drizzt519.

p.s. if there is a thread like this im sorry. I did a search and looked through like 5 pages but didnt find nothing but the TF2 thread. And most of them motherfuckers that post in that thread aint ever playing that shit.

2016 GD Secret Santa: All Aboard Santa's Hype Train! #AltaredGift

If you thought this wasn't happening, you were dead ass wrong. Spoke to Valaris months ago and was just waiting for the appropiate day to show up which is today!

How does it work: One Man Enters, One Man Gifts. You buy a member a gift and you get a gift from a member picked at random from our pool of lovely gifters. This is the one SRK tradition is that is serious. Purposefully failing to gift will result in a ban; plan your financials accordingly. This won't be a funsies ban either, I will find all of your alts and stuff them up your pets' asses.

This is usually for the most well established members. Join dates from 2013 and later are allowed to participate. If there are new members that are very active, I'll put it to a vote by the people who are already signed up. If I'm not comfortable with the situation, you may not get in. Nothing personal but this is one of those few sacrosanct traditions that GD has. It will not be fucked with.

Sign ups start now and continue until November 7th. This is my first time doing this so a healthy 20+ I should be able to coordinate. I won't let entries get too crazy because then it becomes harder to make sure everybody is on the same page.

Now for some well researched, important and copy/pasted rules from Valaris:
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. 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.


Bolded twice because its so nice. Get the danged tracking so everybody can have fun doing this. Secondary reminders from Val:
-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. 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.

Buy the tracking option please.

After you sign up, send an e-mail to Pertho14@gmail.com with the title "SS Sign Up Username" 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)

and one last message from Days of Valaris Past:
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.

Not letting one of the best things in this site go the way of the Rep Bars.

MINIMUM IS 30 DOLLARS FOR THE GIFT.

List of people signed up:

1) Reticently
2) Hecatomb
3) Weeaboo
4) GreyFoxx
5) KinnikuBuster
6) jae hoon

[iOS & Android] Frame Assistant Tool - SFV Frame Data, Calculations and Notes app

Hi there!

I'm the maker of Frame Assistant Tool! For the last 6 months, I've been working on bringing FAT up to speed for launch of SFV. I decided about 1 week in that I wanted to completely overhaul the app, and so Ver 2.0.0 is a completely different beast to Ver 1.1.4

What's changed?
  • Street Fighter V characters included, along with full frame data, calculation and notes support!
  • Complete visual and framework overhaul of the app!
  • New and improved notes, with complete markdown support!

There's lot's of other smaller imrpovements like a toggle between "pretty" and "detailed" in the move list, and the frame data viewing has become a lot more detailed, with room to expand each move beyond the 5 columns of old!
If you have any feedback or comments to make, please let me know!

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.

How to tone up those abs

Most of you probably didn't expect a thread like this from a skinny guy like me, but I don't think the old one still exists, so here's a new one.

Some beginning weightlifting suggestions can be found on these websites, such as this:
Great - you've decided to try bodybuilding. Perhaps you want to build mass, tighten up your midsection or slim down; those are all possible with strength training. Whatever your reason (and you should definitely write down your goals for starting and your realistic expectations of what you hope to achieve in the short and long term),m you should follow a clearly defined program.

Don't expect us to provide you with any so-called success; let's state for the record right now that some training methods are smarter and better than others, but nothing resembles a secret. Our role here is to teach and guide you through your first three months so that you can take your training to the next level and design a personal routine that meets your needs.

Is there one program that's right for everyone? No. Did you really expect that one routine would serve the needs of the female college basketball player who wants to make a more dominating presence on the court, the 45 year old businessman looking to firm his body and improve his health, and the young man interested in competitive bodybuilding? Every person who trains has different motivations, desires and genetic potential, and each must make his or her own adjustments in putting together a particular program. It's really not so difficult. But before you get started, here are some points you'll want to consider.

1. Get a physician's release if you are over 40 or have had any sort of previous injury or impairment.

2. Be realistic but positive. Assess your current condition and where you want to be in three months, one year and five years. Keep focused on your goals and know you'll achieve them.

3. Commit yourself to three months before making any judgements about whether it's working or not. The truth is, you're probably a bit impatient, and sculpting your physique takes time. Changes take place incrementally, but three months is long enough to notice some significant changes in strength and size. Persistence and dedication are characteristics that all successful bodybuilders have in common. Do you?

Designing Your Exercise Program

Before getting into your program, you need to develop an understanding of how and why you're building your exercise routine. Although we've gone ahead and designed a program for you, just about everything in ti can be changed depending on your particular circumstances. Your primary objective here, as a beginner, is to build a solid foundation - and not just any training program will take you there in an efficient manner. Study the following points to better understand your bodybuilding program.

Bodypart Training

Bodybuilders group exercises by bodypart and train one muscle group at a time. Working one are with 1-3 exercises ensures that you train it thoroughly. Experience says that this type of training is the most efficient for bodybuilding. (Circuit training, on the other hand, allows you to do movements for different bodyparts back to back with no rest in between).

Every major muscle group should be developed to prevent muscle imbalance and the risk of injury. The major muscle groups include legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, glutes), chest, shoulders, back (Trapezius, lats, erectors), abdominals and arms (biceps, triceps).

Exercises

You can choose from any number of movements that target a particular muscle group, but beginners should stick with the basics to develop a solid foundation. The first exercise you do for a given bodypart should be a compound movement. (A compound or multijoint movement, unlike an isolation exercise, has movement at two or more joints and thus brings in a greater number of assisting muscle groups. Note: Some bodyparts like biceps, triceps and calves can be worked with pre-dominatantly isolation exercises.)

Some basic movements can be done in a number of ways; for example, you can do a bench press with a barbell, with dumbbells or on a machine. Eventually, you'll learn how to do them all and use the in your training arsenal.

Two similar exercises can target a muscle differently. For example, the bench press is a good exercise for most of the chest, but the incline press (essentially a bench press done on an incline bench) works the upper pectorals more effectively. When you put exercises together to form a routine, you'll want to include those movements that hit the same muscle in different ways. That's why you normally include 2-3 exercises when you work each bodypart.

Weights

During the first couple of training sessions, you'll want to go pretty light just to get a feel for how to do the movement correctly. After you feel comfortable with the form, begin adding weight.

Even an experienced lifted should always do his first set as a warm-up with practically no weight to flush to target muscle and connective tissue with blood. On the second set, add a couple of small plates and do the exercise again. Was it still east? If so, and assuming you used good form, add more weight. If you struggled to reach 12 repetitions, add just a little bit of weight. (Adding weight on successive sets is called pyramid training and is one of the safest ways to train.)

Continue adding weight until it becomes tough to complete 8-12 reps. Your goal is to train in the range where you reach muscular failure at 8-12 reps. Once you find a challenging weight, stick with it. So you'll become stronger and be able to increase the number of reps. Once you can do 12, it's time to increase your training poundage by about 10%. At this heavier weight, you won't be able to do 12 reps, but with time you'll once again be able to. Keep working in this fashion.

The principle behind this type of training is known as overload. It states that for improvements to occur, you must impose a demand on your muscles greater than what they're accustomed to (for bodybuilding purposes, about two-thirds of your maximal strength). Your muscles compensate for this strain on the cellular level by adding protein to grow thicker and stronger. At that point, the same load is no longer sufficient to induce further changes, more load must be added. That is, you must progressively add training stimulus to make continued improvements.

Keep track of your training poundage by recording your weights, sets and reps in a training log alongside a list of your exercises.

Some bodybuilders swing and heave, cheating for the sake of pushing heavier weights. Remember, the name of the game here is not weightlifting, but rather bodybuilding.
