Ultra Street Fighter IV

[joffocakes]

What stick is that for £50? The site is blocked in work. I might be interested in a new stick soon. But Wii U! Oh no!

Also, that anti-abel tech is so utterly wild and terrifying. I love it.

[ah]

SFxT "Pro", which is basically a slightly more plasticky TE. Still has all Sanwa parts and quick disconnects. Does of course feature SFxT artwork. Or there's a Soul Calibur 5 version.

The SFxT "VS" - which is even bigger, squarer and heavier than the original TE - is £70.

[joffocakes]

Sounds good to me. Might have a look a little later tonight. The SE I have is getting a little worn; the cable is frayed and exposed, occasionally it stops working. Plus I don't have enough gaudy, man-child tech-toys lying around my living room.

[Camel]

How plasticky is the pro? Wondering whether I should have gone for a vs now instead of two pros.

Either way, having another decent 360 stick means I can take the Sanwa stick out of my ugly wrestling stick and replace it with a seimitsu for shmups. I find a Sanwa stick has too much travel and apparently seimitsus have less.

[ah]

I just checked my facts and I think I made that bit up, it still has a metal panel on the base. I think it's the sides that look a bit weird and gave me that impression. Here's a hilarious video:

Which is the best one?

So is is basically an SE and a TE, and then some kind of wild namco one which no human can truly ever love or understand.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

I absolutely don't need a new stick, and have wild amounts of outgoings at the moment, so of course I'm going to buy one.

[Camel]

With Line or Cross artwork.

Ah I didn't realise there were Cross and Line versions. I've gone for a 360 and a PS3 Pro Cross. They both have SFxT artwork though and you can't really go wrong there right, guys? Guys?

My PS3 SFxT has arrived. Pac-Man is go.

[ah]

Just mirror matched Big Hat Logan and it ended in a double KO!

Thought you'd all want to know.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

He's not gone hollow in your version has he?

I spent about and hour falling off narrow invisible playforms in the crystal cave last night, before getting enraged and sulking off to oolacie to do the dlc instead. Crystal cave is the first part of the game which I've just ended up thinking was bullshit.

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Also I'm pretty sure donut has an infinite combo on me with yun.

[ah]

Crystal cave got much more enjoyable once I manned up and learned the route. Aside from a silly prism-stone-dropping minigame to collect one bit of loot, the platforms you actually run on to get to the boss are dead straight and fairly wide.

You can also run past every enemy.

I knew all this from doing it with summoned help, but somehow doing it on your own requires you to learn it all again.

[imp]

Crystal Cave is a really extreme version of the "what is this bullshit?!" and then "Oh gosh, I was so silly back then" that encompasses the souls games. Izalith too.

[imp]

Also Yun definitely has an impfinite on characters without a three frame reversal.

Also I bought the walking dead in the steam sale and I am so excited to play it.

[df0]

Tomb of Giants is a really extreme version of the "what is this bullshit?!" and then "Oh gosh, I was so silly back then" that encompasses the souls games. Izalith too.

Fixed that for you.

[imp]

All the lords' levels!

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Tonight I'm going to spend untold minutes of my precious life working out how to punish yun's shoulder on block, PURELY to spite that hateful donut fellow.

Also you have no idea how salty I was that my ultra though your fireball didn't work, when it clearly should have.

[nuskool]

If anyone happens to prefer RAPs, I have a hardly-used Tekken 6 one to sell.

Out of interest is that modded (buttons look upgraded)?

Pretty sure jab shoulder is safe on block, which is what I do. SO NER.

I think it's one of my favourite moves that I absolutely hate getting hit by. Cammy's cr.mk probably has longer range than Yun's f.mp / cr.mk so you could probably quite happily poke me out of it. Or crouch fierce counter hit me into Ultra.

I'm going to stop doing that stuff now.

Is anyone bothering with Sony Smash Bros? It's out today. I've only played a bit of it and it's okay I guess but I'm only interested in it if you guys are.

[Plopboy]

I might see if the local Tesco has it (I have a coupon for cash off) and give it a blast (If I can stop playing the Metal Gear Rising demo which is awesome).

[joffocakes]

I was interested, but it looks like my PS3 has gone all YLOD from lack of love. I guess I'll just have to wait for Genuine Smash Bros on Wii U. I'll be getting Sonic Kart while waiting on genuine Mario Kart though.

I really, really want Donut to attack my NSMB2 Nerve Wrack pack score.

[Lyrical Donut]

I had a mild giggle with the beta, mostly thanks to Parappa's level 3 rap. I'm probably going to wait for a bit, or hold out for a Plus discount or something.

Someone appears to have uploaded a video of alistarr playing samurai drew, it just popped up in my youtube recommended videos, bizarrely. Look at it here:

[Qazimod]

Happy birthday qazimod!

Oh, thanks guys.

But seriously, I might be up for weekend fightings if I'm not busy with presents and stuff.

[Camel]

Happy birthday Qazimod!

[Nate Dogg III]

Happy Birthday Qazimod!

The wife's away all weekend. I have work to do but that aside I will mostly be playing videogames. I will be up for some games of Sonic Kart on 360, or Sony Smash Bros on PS3, or anything really.

Also Plopboy what Rising demo what where holy fuck what?

[mayor_mike_haggar]

Happy birthday plopboy!

[Lyrical Donut]

There's a MGR demo with the ZOE HD collection I believe.

Happy birthday Gazi!
