Ryuuka Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Well I get off work at noon. We can maybe hit up PCP or something.
Greyvangelist Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 do they still have setups for games there? Well, text me if you wanna go.
Zeromus_X Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 PCP today? I am so down. And they still have one monitor for games. Just have to hope it's not taken by the time you get there to use it lol.
Ryuuka Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Gonna leave in a bit. I'll be there at 2pm at the latest.
Orrax Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I was thinking of heading down, but I don't think I can get there before 4:30. How late are people planning on staying?
Synthesis Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Too much work' date=' would rather stick with GG and play easier games on the side.[/quote'] But Arcana's not even hard. You mash D to fly around to get in on your opponent. And you mash D to get out of pressure. The hardest thing I can think of is burden of knowledge when it comes to the actual Arcana, but most of the time you don't need to care about your opponent's Arcana. EDIT: AND YOU PLAY PETRA
Tigre Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 But Arcana's not even hard. You mash D to fly around to get in on your opponent. And you mash D to get out of pressure.Uhhhhhhhhhhhh have fun getting blown up mashing homing trying to get out of pressure. Arcanas movement system may be a bit hard at first, but it's the least of your problems when you need to deal with tight mixup. The game's not exactly a walk in the park.
Ryd' Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 But Arcana's not even hard. You mash D to fly around to get in on your opponent. And you mash D to get out of pressure. The hardest thing I can think of is burden of knowledge when it comes to the actual Arcana, but most of the time you don't need to care about your opponent's Arcana. EDIT: AND YOU PLAY PETRA Arcana is actually pretty up there in terms of difficulty; probably close to, if not alongside, GG. If "mash D, land a hit, win" was all there was to it, the game would be braindead and everyone would be a champ. Turns out the opposite is true. The extra movement adds a whole layer that isn't present in most other games, which makes up for the simplicity it has in other regards. Having to factor in the varying speeds with which opponents can come at you (or vice versa), the trajectories, coupled with the opponent's hitboxes on top of that...that's a lot to have to deal with before you get into the nuances added by the absurd number of character/arcana combinations (though you rarely see more than a handful of combos per character). Blatantly appealing to a niche population is only part of the problem with the game's inability to cultivate a large player base. Also, I played Time Petra (lol); that's not really a combo where you can mash D whenever you want.
Synthesis Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Uhhhhhhhhhhhh have fun getting blown up mashing homing trying to get out of pressure. Arcanas movement system may be a bit hard at first, but it's the least of your problems when you need to deal with tight mixup. The game's not exactly a walk in the park. Most of the time you can hit 4D to force a C move to whiff. If someone is approaching from a j.D during pressure, 4D causes their jump-in to whiff if you time it right. You're right: literally mashing D will get you blown up, but what I meant is pressure is easy to deal with thanks to the homing mechanic. It was a hyperbole. And fine. I'll let you admit that Arcana is as difficult as GG, Carlos. That's so unlike you to say, though. I thought nothing was as difficult as GG! /sarcasm
Chumaralupa Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Don't remind me of how hard AH3 was or else I might not end up getting the expansion (whenever it hits).
M19Kamikaze Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I'm shocked. This is the longest an Arcana conversation has gone on as far as I can remember.
Greyvangelist Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 why talk about AH3 when you can talk about JEWPUNCHER
Tempered Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Because Jewpuncher is old and busted. Wafflepuncher is the new hotness. Also anyone using a c move in pressure in AH3 is asking to die.
M19Kamikaze Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Because Jewpuncher is old and busted. Wafflepuncher is the new hotness. Also anyone using a c move in pressure in AH3 is asking to die. But so many people are so free to Fiona's 5C/5[C] nonsense!! D:
Synthesis Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Because Jewpuncher is old and busted. Wafflepuncher is the new hotness. Also anyone using a c move in pressure in AH3 is asking to die. You can do it with B moves as well, depending on the character. Akane gets blown up if she uses 5B and you guess right and 4D it. Also, when DOESN'T Scharl use C moves?
Tigre Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Also anyone using a c move in pressure in AH3 is asking to die.Uhhhh Heart/Weiss 5c
ThienKieuTam Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Alright guys, recommendations on streaming equipment?
M19Kamikaze Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 streaming equipment... HD PVR is pretty good. Should have one now that runs on HDMI for about $~200, I think. Other's I've heard about are AverMedia and BlackMagic (haven't tried either of them tho). That plus maybe xsplit and you're good to go. Oh, and a good comp, obviously.
LegendaryRath Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Get an avermedia live gamer portable. I used a hauppauge for two and a half years and it's a pain in the ass. Even if they use HDMI now, you'll need an HDCP stripper to use it on the PS3. If that's not an issue for you, then you'll need to deal with it's rather large size and horrible software. I got the avermedia a few weeks ago and it's pretty sweet. Very easy to set up with simple and good software. It even comes with a component cable that converges to a single end. I heard you can even use HDMI as the output from the avermedia, in addition the component as input. I still use HDMI both ways though. To strip the HDCP signal you can use this http://www.amazon.com/electronics/dp/B007WR0CHU . It's only $25 and works fine for me. What kind of stuff are you planning on streaming? It'll help figure out what's best for you. Also, if an old first gen hauppauge (Component cables only) is helpful at all to you, then you can have mine. I'll likely never use it again. But then again, to be honest... You probably don't want it. For streaming, they can be quite... Frustrating. Edited July 19, 2013 by LegendaryRath
