Support NeoGAF

[Ragingnight]

If it's such a well known issue why did Momo use that stick

he is sponsored by EG, who is partner with Razor. He was forced to use that stick

 

[chaobreaker]

 

[kasane]

Is Momochi sponsored by Razer? Or it's just his personal choice to use the Atrox? I can't wait on what Momochi has to say to it.

Atrox stick failing at the Grand Finals of the biggest tournament is a massive failure for Razer.

Madcatz and Hori will benefit from this.

EG is sponsored by razer

but i think they cut them off now for steelseries

 

[dmr87]

I just can't play like them on my XBone pad, I guess I need one of those Razers

I got some news for you about Razer sticks...huehuehue

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Oh that sucks, didn't know he had to use it. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[M3z_]

Whatever I have an Atrox and a TE 2, personally I like the Atrox. Sucks to have such a thing happen on a large stage, but it's not the first time there has been a bad stick or whatever.

 

[Nanashrew]

This is me lmao. Can't wait for SGDQ!

 

[ahdurian]

How did it mess up gamerbee? It got him a round and ended up with his opponent using an entirely new stick for the final round of the tournament. Just not getting where you're coming from.

i think most people saying it messed up GB is because he was "on a rush" from going through Losers Finals, then making the reset happen and then bringing it to the climax

though GB was tired as hell, it probably did take some toll on him to take that long of a rest to find Momo a new stick

 

[EatinOlives]

This is all I'm saying. The pause messed up Gamerbee moreso than Momochi. You won't get people to admit that though. They replaced the stick, carried on, and Momochi won. Obviously the proper end, but heartbreaking nonetheless.

Lol no, that's not "all you were saying". You were going off about how GB secretly had all the momentum and putting Momo "right where he wanted him", how you are "certain" GB would've taken both, and a bunch of utter nonsense.

Even after your backpedaling you still can't argue with any certainty that the pause affected one player more than the other. That's all your personal opinion coloring the situation.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

I need a stick to play these games don't I?

Nah. Nuckle Du made it to Top 8 this year on a stock PS3 pad.

 

[RellyRell28]

When is that next week? I'm off work until next week Tuesday

[Deps]

Razer does not sponsor EG, they got dropped a while back for Steelseries

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Momochi getting offered that Madcatz deal so he can use that gold stick.

 

[chaobreaker]

When is that next week? I'm off work until next week Tuesday

Sunday.

 

[Malleavel]

Evo is first and foremost a tournament, not a convention, gathering, or expo.

It has not been and should not be a spectator event; it doesn't need 4 days.

 

[AmethystEnd]

When is that next week? I'm off work until next week Tuesday

Starts on Sunday. Once more, no sleep. Only this time for 7 days straight.

so they remotely bricked the stick in bitterness, i see how it is.

July 26th.

I checked the EG website after posting as well, and did not see Razer listed anywhere.

[Kalamari]

And razor sponsors EG

Razer sponsored EG in the past, but no longer. They have their own players now, Gackt and Xian.

 

[Frankenstrat]

See you all next year. Sad I missed KI but I'll wake up on time next year.

 

[ant1532]

Hey I'm at work right now, can anyone please direct me to a link where I can watch the melee finals from today?? Would really appreciate it

 

[Einchy]

So you realized how insane you sounded and are now backpedaling?

And what's this about "proper end"? Just a bit ago you said Gamerbee was going to win because of his momentum.

 

[CO_Andy]

You guys act like MadCatz sticks haven't failed before at tournaments.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

And razor sponsors EG

I don't think they do anymore

 

[Gucci Messiah]

lol

Evo wouldn't be possible without spectators, what are you talking about.

 

[LiK]

So Momochi was using some stick they had in storage, I guess.

 

[Ragingnight]

tbh madcatz sticks are okay. The best are qanba and hori.

I heard from people who tested that the mcz stick have the highest input lag by a decent margin.

I always been a fan of custom made sticks.

MAN that snuck up on me, the hype just won't end.

 

[jbug617]

It's the stick he used back then. Probably just comfortable with it now.

 

[Omega]

Razer doesn't exactly have the best rep which contributes to it

edit - on the topic of arcade sticks. are there any dual modded PS4/XB1 sticks yet?

 

[Shouta]

So Momochi was using some stick they had in storage, I guess.

Uh, he probably was using the one he's had for awhile more than anything. It probably just malfunctioned there because of overuse if anything.

 

[TheRetroKid]

lol

actually, it would totally be possible. it's a tournament, so all it needs are competitors. there's a difference. all competitors are spectators, but not all spectators are competitors.

 

[Rentahamster]

Razer getting blown up on twitter

 

[ultracal31]

So stick with qanba and hori? Cool, I've never had an arcade stick so I'll look into those two

 

[AmethystEnd]

So Momochi was using some stick they had in storage, I guess.

If it's a stick he's been using for awhile, then I can understand. Breaking in a new stick until it "feels right" isn't fun, though I'm sure Momochi is affected less than a filthy casual like myself.

Qanba sucks as well.. Hori is great but the new Kuro buttons stick on the PS4 versions.. The Sanwa buttons on the Hrap v3 SA are gdlk tho.. I actually prefer the new Hyabusa stick though..

Yea, I know. I was joking.

Considering he had to switch to another stick and won, that should count for something.

 

[Josh5890]

This is me lmao. Can't wait for SGDQ!

I wish there was a calendar for all of these video game events

 

[bonkeng]

Momochi is sponsored by EG

He's sponsored by EG and Razer is one of their partners. They have to use Razer products

Razer sponsors eg. I don't know is Justin or Ricky use a razer stick though.

EG is sponsored by razer

but i think they cut them off now for steelseries

I see. So I guess not his choice then.

That's still very unfortunate the way it happened. We'll see if he will "stick" with Razer after this.

Why wouldn't Evo be possible without spectators? Evo has been around for a very long time. All of this was built up before streaming and even during the "dark ages" of fighting games.

http://www.teyah.net/sticklag/results.html is the guide i used for input lag.

the kuro are fine for me, if they bother me i'll swap it out

Madcatz is fine overall. Its just not optimal. But their sticks are pricey at the moment. PS4 sticks go for about 200. I got my hori 4 for like 130?

 

[RellyRell28]

Already 1200 in Neo's go fund me campaign

 

[Omega]

I see. So I guess not his choice then.

we were wrong. Razer is no longer with EG

I don't pay attention to that org so I never realized it, I just assumed they were still with them.

Qanba reminds me of Chinese manufacturers who make acceptable knockoffs if popular products

 

[Malleavel]

lol

evo's been around a lot longer than streaming

 

[Lulubop]

Damn just realized Rayray has mad experience vs Hulk and Haggar. Not saying Bum is on Kane's level but still. If he couldn't get it done then it wasn't happening.
