Fighting Gamers / Handmade Fight stick.
« on: April 14, 2012, 09:38:31 pm »


Finally built myself a fight stick. Cut the wood, Drilled the case, Soldered a 360 controller PCB to sanwa stick and some tatsunoko buttons.  My favorite part are the super relax button positions, Four fingers rest on the blues, thumb controls the lowest two whites.  the blues are lp mp hp hk,the lower two white buttons are lk mk, from left to right.  the top two white buttons are XboxLive and Start.   
I couldn't be happier about the feel.




palms rest nice.  faceplate is no taller than it needs to be.
a bit wider than most fightsticks.  my hands feel more rested when they are over my legs, not over my nuts.
can we say nuts? squirrels love nuts.

Initially mk was just under mp but I dont like twisting my hand or crimping my thumb every time i want to focus attack.
lowering lk - mk allowed my thumb to relax - hover in the same place where it needs to end up to attack.
quicker access, less work.  not sure how sanwa - madcats didnt come to the same conclusion.
my fingers have never gotten tired in these positions, and if they do, they rest beside a button without me knowing about it.

Fighting Gamers / Any PC SuperStreetFighter AE players around?
« on: September 17, 2011, 09:23:51 am »
Any ssf4:AE players for PC? Lookin for more local sf4 ae players to do matches with.
I would play on 360 also if anyone has a used 360 to sell.
I heard the best lag was while playing on pc, while alot of the best players were on 360.

I'll do endless matches with the same Character or different characters.
Just look me up.

My Ken is running about 3500 and my makoto is about the same.

I'll play people way better or worse, as much as anyone wants.
If anyone wants to learn more. Just look me up.

General Chat / SFIV UI Mod I made (Minimal HUD)

I like minimal HUDs. I want to see the amazing graphics, not extra HUD filler.
I did not like the giant text "K.O" "You Win" "You Lose" "Fight" graphics.  So I lowered the Opacity of most of the results text and HUD.  The Super - Ultra bars are invisable untill they are active. all the extra detail is hidden.  the result is that now the important information stands out much better. 
The health bars are much more minimal. they are semi-useless, you try and win reguardless of how low your life is. so that bar is very small, I used to just play with it off before I made the Mod.
its nothing fancy, it only took about an hour to trim down the standard hud.

I purchased SF4 the first day it was released.  I still love playing it.   I never purchased the DLC Costumes, I really wasn't in a hurry for my KEN to look like a cowboy, and that other robe really wasn't any different. if anything it was just "pimp" which isnt my style.   I like his 'Gi' better.
But I might have to buy the DLC now, Im having fun Modding the graphics.

General Chat / Fight Stick Needed.
« on: May 28, 2011, 11:06:51 pm »
Anyone have a Used Fight stick they could sale or trade?  I could use a SF4 compatable Fight stick.

*Edited*
 360, PS3 or PC version would be fine
 All three types are PC compatable via internet download drivers.
I may buy a 360 or ps3 this summer, not sure which system to go with.  I hear there is a bit more high end competition on 360, (And god knows I could stand to get pwnd by the pro's to learn), It would be neat to be beat by some elite japanese players. 
I'm sure ps3 has plenty of elite players also though. The PS3 has free internet and possibly slightly better games.  So Its a hard call.
♥♥♥♥♥.. ps3 move is probably way better than the connect. ( I cant stand controller lag ). thats another plus for ps3.

I'm leaning toward the 360, even though I should probably go with the PS3 X_x.
Reguardless, I am pre-ordering :AE on PC, because I don't have a console.

General Chat / Looking for more monthly tournyments!! Sf4 and more
« on: May 27, 2011, 06:59:08 pm »
 ;D we need someone to host more cheap monthly tournyments for street fighter 4 and other fitter games. I would love to do a few nights a month personally. But let's get some at least monthly.
I would blow ten bucks a night multiple times a month. Or for us semi casual players, a multiple game night 5 bucks a game on nights where the tournies are shorter, I would stick around for kore than one game.
I would show up even more reliably if the prize were cash lol. Even if it's only 20 bucks. I'd be hooked

I know alien games in jenks might. Be trying o do weeklies.
I'm going next Tuesday if they are. 
I just want to get the word out to get some friendly nights going!!
And to let others know that there are people that are interested!

Leave a comment and let us know how many times a month you would want to play.
