make far slash hit just a bit lower, give airborne 6K CH more untech time, give him more reliable midscreen mixups congratulations, johnny just rose two tiers

yeah guys, real talk; if it was an iplaywinner stream, you could've expected NOTHING BUT IV THE ENTIRE TIME, lol. spooky at least tried to change it up with marvel and whatnot. here's an idea; you want a dedicated BB stream? fund one. now watch as the reality of the situation sinks in to the mind of the stream monster, lol.

yeah guys, what's with all the spooky hate all of a sudden? if you've been following his streams for any surmountable amount of time you would know that he does NOT normally stream IV over other games, in this case it was probably an exception due to scheduling/brackets/setups/whatever. running a tournament of this size is not easy, doubly so when there's a stream setup, and especially so when you have a thousand different games being played that still don't amount to the entries of IV (i can only imagine that at least some of sb staff wasn't happy about the stream switching to marvel whenever IV brackets were at a halt). he went all the way from ny to texas to stream the bb sbo quals for fucks sake, quit acting like he's "OMG SOLD OUT", especially when it's probably costing him a shit load to travel all the fucking time so you can be a stream monster.

i find it hard to believe that this was only a year ago, lol

i have my sources

you're definitely in the minority and are missing the point of an arcade layout. there's always exceptions to every rule (boxer players holding TAP with their wrist/lower palm comes to mind), but what you just said sounds like something that's horrifically ineffective, considering the entire reason arcade layout is superior is because there's more distance between buttons than there is on a pad. that to me sounds like something that should have been banned at every soul calibur tournament on the planet. sanwa's don't have the same, they have less. again, go grab a te or hrap and drop it on your lap buttons facing upward; more often than not, SOME of them will activate because you've engaged their microswitches. that will NEVER happen with a pad, lol. daigo plays wineglass style, so when he needs his upward directions he's going to have to use his forearm to get to them; he's not churning butter, lol. and for the record, daigo was never good at guilty gear. well what if you have big thumbs? WELL SEE I HAVE BIG THUMBS THEREFORE I CAN'T DO IT ON PAD AND STICK IS SUPERIOR (that's you that's your argument) probably because what you're arguing is wrong and you have no proof to support it.

just for the record, if there's any technical trouble with the streaming setups, feel free to call me over to take a look at it. i would have gladly helped and potentially have spared aj and david had i known what was going on.

did you miss the part where i pointed out that arcade buttons (particularly sanwas) are way more sensitive than pad buttons? the reason for this being that all you have to do to engage a sanwa button is engage the microswitch, which like i said, is as easy as dropping your stick on your lap. compare this to a pad where the button has to make contact with the pcb, and let's of course not forget that pressure sensitive face buttons can make this an ambiguous matter at best (which the dualshock 2 and 3 both have). as for the "average person", the average person doesn't play video games, let alone the time to practice things we find simple like dp motions. so because a bunch of unqualified people have an easier time with inferior technology, it means that those of us who are qualified should revert to it as well? go tell professional racers that they're wasting their time with manual transmissions, while you're at it. and who the hell uses their thumb for anything other than the button it happens to hover over? you have more control on stick because the buttons are further apart (allowing for less misinputs, as well as making option selects easier) and the buttons are more sensitive. if you're using some funky layout or place your hand in an awkward position, you're sort of defeating the purpose of playing on stick (unless of course, that's the only way you can be comfortable playing on it). lastly, your example at the end is downright laughable. not only is that a mad easy combo to begin with, but there's no advantage to using pad for it at all. if anything, it's so undemanding that the difference between performing it on pad and on stick is negligible at best (which can be said for the majority of combos in bb, to be entirely honest).

the 360 doesn't even have 02um yet. and snk did announce not too long ago that they're gonna release shit on ps3 now, google it.

oh, that's true. i remember hearing the input buffer is a bit different from arcade, but if we're just prepping people for xiii then who cares. on the other hand, there is that stigma of "ew, OLD games". at least we can pretend 98um's rebalance was for the better to get people to try it, lol. oh shit, disclosing trade secrets in public!

98um it is, i guess, since i have it on 360, which means people with 360 sticks can at least try it. i have converters too though, so you can use your sadlife stick.

when xiii drops, i want to get tournaments running for it; part of the reason i wanna pop nci's kof cherry early. do people play 98 vanilla in 707? as far as i know it's the only real kof "scene" to speak of in norcal, so i just wanna go by what's gonna bring in numbers for pre-xiii.

you're missing the point brosuke; thumbs are not nearly as responsive as wrists. the extra distance needed to engage directionals on stick is more than made up for in input accuracy as well as speed. i have seen one person use his entire arm with a joystick in recent memory and he is a homeless vietnam vet who mashes marvel at the local arcade what? no. you do realize you don't have to press your buttons very far at all for them to engage on stick, right? hell, feel free to drop your stick on your lap while it's plugged in and see how many buttons engage just from that! such a definitive ending to such a non-definitive post.

all that needs to be said on the subject of shit talk, if you ask me.

yeah, xi is donjon kof. 98um would be my choice for a "real" kof.

and i just want kof at nci. what game do you all play the most in 707? even if it's donjon kof, at least it's something.

i was unexpectedly swamped with school maybe tonight :p

i was wrong about the date, homeslice

oh, nevermind, i thought nci was the 23rd.

oh yeah, definitely. hell, i remember one time i linked aj's ghetto stream there and we got 200 viewers. also i just realized that i'm gonna be at keystone during nci, lol.
