Not really? Costco dogs are 1.50 and pretty damn good. Always awesome to get good food and cheap prices. You have to be one helluva snob to hate on them.
Anyway, a major is any, once a year event to me. A regional would be one that covers a large area or possibly multiple ones and can overlap with a major. It has nothing to do with numbers to me.
We had Professor Beef and ProfessorCurry post in this thread. Can we combine them into Professor BeefCurry?

Stunfest is up for me next. It is a very large French tournament with a long history of attracting top players from around the world. Justin Wong will be there! I will hound him for Rufus advice.

GTFO.
LOL. Amazing.
Pretty sure this would've been banned at Final Round.OMG this is some next level shit
The ruling that Shinblank and co. made was that on a regular stick (that has the actual joystick for moving) adding directional inputs to button is illegal. Hitbox avoids this because there is no actual stick.

But I like Beef Curry ;_;
Anyway, I'm probably not going to Sega Cup this year. It's hard to justify the cost for me with NWM the following week. I'd rather use the cash I'd be spending going to SoCal to make the local major an even better one. I'm also pretty out of practice and haven't touched the game since my session with soakrates and the NorCal folks back in December at Capcom Cup. No one to play with regularly offline either. >=(

Which is a dumb rule IMO. A button's a button, who cares what shape/size it is or what part of your body is pressing it. Or if you're combining features of different controller archetypes.

Dammit Art, you use Sim and I hate that matchup. Of course I'm gonna lose.

I'm gonna roll up to a tourney with a setup that looks like a one-man-band contraption. Button for every possible input combination

I can't find a pic, but on The Break a while back there was a Tekken player who used a custom controller: Half of a dualshock on the left (for d-pad inputs) and arcade-style buttons on the right. I suppose that controller would have been banned at Final Round by Shinblanka's reasoning.
OMG this is some next level shit
What in the hell...
How is he hitting a foot pedal w/ 1f accuracy (e.g. the Back pedal, for b-plinking)?

Yup. Spotted it at Apex 2013 ... was pretty impressed.
That's what I've always wanted to do, lol. I'd have to tear up my old PS1 pad though. =(
I need a video of this in action.
Someone needs to show up with a DDR platform for their directional inputs. That would be the greatest.
No lie I would actually use this. This would be really helpful for me.Yup. Spotted it at Apex 2013 ... was pretty impressed.
Will get banned on the spot though.
And according to some people that Dual Shock itself will get banned. It has 6 face buttons.
Can you hold it down?

He isn't, to be honest. It is a very silly stick.
It probably activates when he releases it which is a little easier.... but still...

I think those might be screws to hold the dualshock down.
Anyway I definitely see the appeal of this. Tekken is the only game that I play on pad where I'll use the fingers on my right hand instead of my thumb when I'm hitting the face buttons.

The tekken pad thing is cool, but I don't have a problem just binding to the shoulder buttons. It seems like its an accepted practice and I'm too old to care now anyway.
So I was trying to find some videos of matches with Guy cause I thought I might like to give him a whirl.
Found a match from SCR with Lumina1re vs Infiltration.

he who shall not be called kingofsarus?
How?
It has the dpad, and the face buttons wired to the arcade buttons. How would that hold ground to be banned?
yep.though the bathroom outlets actually worked more often vs other options available. the big thing was that there were constant power outages during the tournament. idk if it was how they set up the power strips (there was a huge lack of power outlets in general so i think they ended up daisy chaining a bunch?) but i'm pretty sure it was because nowhere else in the convention had power issues.
tx showdown 2012 is tied in my mind as the worst tournament i've ever been to.. the other one was outdoors during the winter, where literal icicles were growing on sticks by the end. the biggest thing is that ultimately it was both a sham and somewhat of a scam by planet zero. i could go more into this but i'd imagine folks aren't too interested.
i actually felt bad for one of the texas showdown dudes during this one because it was clear he wanted to keep running the tourney but didn't really have the means to.
tx showdown 2013 was alright- definitely a vast improvement over planet zero (if ya'll don't know about planet zero... haha, oh man), but they ran too late imo. it ran until like 2am monday for whatever reason that i can't recall but they had casuals anyways so i got to ignore most of it and play vs folks haha. the collusion grand finals made me pretty mad too and you can hear me in the vods shouting 'pick your shit!' after they did it. though a lot of people don't know that some folks in the crowd were actually asking for random selects so they probably thought they were pleasin' the crowd with their pick

Shinblanka's reason for banning Full Schedule's stick at FR was that it combined features of an arcade stick and a hitbox. He said on OBS that there should be separate rules for arcade sticks, hitboxes, and gamepads and that they shouldn't be combined.
Well, thank god Shinblanka runs only one (and a third) of all the FGC tournaments out there and doesn't speak for every TO in the NA scene, because that's a pretty stupid reason to ban hybrid controllers. I thought the reason behind the ban was because two directional inputs were programmed to a single button (which would hold some water as a reason to ban it from your tournament).
The controller posted above is not new. I remember seeing it at least a year ago on the SRK Tech forums, and basically has the same features as a Madcatz SFxT Pad, just with bigger buttons. Slippery slope, S. Blanka.
At least people like Keits and IFC Yipes don't mind and will let stuff rock.

From what Shinblanka said on OBS, it didn't sound like he cared at all about two directional inputs being mapped to a button. It was just because it was a hybrid controller.
What did Yipes say? I missed that.
He invited Full Schedule to Curly Mustache South, and stated that he can use his old controller on the invitation list.
I dunno, it bothers me that a TO (of a very big FG tourney) is banning a controller with such limited knowledge about the situation. It's borderline close to being told at a shitty anime convention tournament that you can't use your regular fightstick because it gives you an "advantage" over the poor cosplayer casuals.
He said it would be legal at the next Curleh, because the more cheap shit the better.

It's a slippery slope in allowing it, too, if not a worse one. Just say someone maps Down and Forward to a button. All they have to do is double tap that, and hit a punch button, they get a DP and can virtually never miss it. Double tapping a button is 10x easier than an SRK motion on a stick (an input that people drop in tense situations). That's the reason I don't like it.
