Man fight stick is such a stupid term. You can use them for more than 1 game though, and to play shmups and 2d console games if you're a weirdo.

Arcade is too many syllables.

I'm that weirdo.

I also like using my arcade stick when playing the Binding of Isaac.

Come on now Professor, you know it's not the same. Even on Xbox one you can use the fight stick with KI, MKX, and BB. Plus most work on PC as well.

It's just a wired controller with a dpad. Of course you'll be able to use it on more games if you want.

I know, but it just feels so limited in use. At least if it was unique like the Mad Catz pad it would feel better to me. Maybe I'm just over reacting.

Wait, what?

 

[Sayad]

Wait, what?

Arcade sticks works great for old school type games, shmups, Contra, TMNT, Streets of Rage, etc...

Edit: wait, doesn't Binding of Isaac need two sticks?!

 

[Beckx]

Dreaming that Tobal 3 is announced and comes with a demo of Final Fantasy VII remake pt 1.

And this time the dungeon exploration mode allows for "invasions" like Dark Souls.

The fighting game gods aren't that kind. Or not that powerful anymore.

Which is why I was so surprised. I mean playing something like Metal Slug X, Double Dragon Neo, Ikaruga, sure. But binding feels like a bad fit. The buttons aren't even arranged in a comfortable way for that.

I wish I could play this online ;-;

I use mine for Pac-Man and Tetris.. as well as fighting games obviously. We used to call it a 'joystick.'

It's an arcade stick to me. I use it to play MAME, fighting games, Contra Hard Corps (fucking amazing with a stick).

I'm kind of sad Dragon's crown uses the analog, because that would be great on a stick. :/

 

[Kalamari]

The arcade stick is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

 

[jerry1594]

It's a big controller with fun button pressing and microswitch activation. Thinking about it that way I kind of want american buttons now because those were the most fun to press

 

[notworksafe]

I miss my MAS stick

this has nothing to do with Cloud

 

["God's Beard!"]

I played ffvii on pc with a stick.

 

[vulva]

That's pretty much exactly what it is, considering it's what the arcade machines use. This is just a fan service for people who are already more comfortable playing on it.

Does that mean it has lots of boobs n butt?

Gaf has me confused on so many terms now.

 

[notworksafe]

yes, "fan service" as a term now just means t&a. goddamn millennials.

What's an arcade?

goddamn millennials x2

yo pizarro who are the best necro players?

It's going to have a lot to do with me kicking Cloud's ass across the stage with Mewtwo.

 

[Dahbomb]

Fan service as a term to mean t&a was around since the 90s. One of my first exposure to this was the Chun Li shower scene in the SF2 movie and people referred to it as fan service.

 

[notworksafe]

yes it used to mean t&a but it also meant a general "giving fans what they want" which included t&a, graphic violence, sweet robots, etc. now it just means t&a

 

[jerry1594]

Sugiyama, pinoAB7, Konitan, Tamu and Kuroda probably
Necro is a character that there are probably a decent number good players for but most footage on youtube you'll find will be of the first two

Whatchoo talkin about dude?

Shit been like this for literally two decades. In Evangelion chick flat out says "don't forget the fan serviiiiice" in a 4th wall breaking moment where you see her cleavage.

It's evolved from that entire scene.

yes it used to mean t&a but it also meant a general "giving fans what they want" which included t&a, graphic violence, sweet robots, etc. now it just means t&a

I see what you mean. You should definitely be blaming Anno.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Q did you get steam Xrd?

 

[Lostconfused]

Shit been like this for literally two decades. In Evangelion chick flat out says "don't forget the fan serviiiiice" in a 4th wall breaking moment where you see her cleavage.

It was directed at the main character, it wasn't really 4th wall breaking. Now the next episode previews that always ended with "service service" are closer to that.

But this is more of a case that anime fans didn't have the cultural context for the term, so they just ended up understanding it in the constrained context of what they saw.

Shinji today would be a 30s something hipster decrying how bad fighting games are today and saying KoF 95 and ST are where its at.

Shadowloo Showdown is done.

Shadowloo Showdown was founded in 2010 by a group of friends that shared a strong passion for fighting games.
The first SS was an ambitious project, one that was miraculously planned and executed within a span of a month. The mission of the project was simple; to provide an avenue where the Australian fighting community is given the opportunities to not only rise up and challenge the best players in the world; but to also showcase the talent in which we firmly believe our region could provide.
A tournament of this scale and ambition obviously requires a significant devotion in time and resource management. Each year it just becomes increasingly more difficult to support and sustain. There were many challengers and obstacles along the way, but it was overcoming these challenges which made the journey for us ever more satisfying. Running Shadowloo Showdown for 6 years straight is our pride and joy.

As the saying goes though all good things must eventually come to an end and for Shadowloo Showdown, It is with a heavy heart what we must announce that time is upon us for reasons unfortunately out of our control.
We'd personally like to thank each and every single one of you, from the supporters, stream monsters, spectators, the thousands of competitors, our incredible team and many more along the way. We especially would like to thank every single sponsor that has been with us throughout the years. Our event would simply not have lasted this long without you – with special thanks to Avermedia, BenQ and Razer for sticking with us until the very end.

This however will not be the end of ShadowLogic though and we'll be making some announcements in the near future. For now, it's thank you, take care and good bye.

I always knew that Akuma was purposely busted in ST, but I did not fully comprehend it until I tried fighting him as Hawk. I don't remember how much time I spent trying and failing, but I do know my general confidence went down afterwards.

 

[Dahbomb]

Ripperoni in pepperonis.

Anyone know what time the beta goes on-line this Friday?

[Nightii]

Seems like dataminers haven't found any substantial changes to custom moves overall in the Smash 4 update, I guess I will have to hold my hopes for Smash 5 and settle for games that let me choose stuff like Supers and Assists.

*sigh*

I just always get frustrated and flustered by its perfect defense and whiff punishing, and do what I do when I get panicked in fighting games and go for hard reads. Then I realize I'm trying to next-level a robot who has infinite patience, and get next-next-level mindfucked.

The CPU in ST reads your input. So it basically cheats.

Don't they all? I always assumed all fightting game AIs read inputs and perform at a frame perfect level when on the max difficulty setting.

I haven't played every fighting game on max difficulty but those that are really difficult are difficult because the CPU reads your inputs.
