Objective based fps games are an extreme niche (actual objectives with multiple phases), but damn they are really good when it works. Games like rtcw/ET, dystopia, and NS are some of my favorites, but the player base was never there or died off fast. NS2 was really fun, but it just didn't keep people playing.

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised a Daigo figure is coming out before a Daigo arcade stick.
What you talking about. NS2 still has an active community. It's small but it's dedicated. If the engine didn't take so much to run more people would play.

Oh man, I used to play the shit out of Natural Selection 1. Never tried the sequel though...
Never said it died, but it didnt take off as id wish. Devs are back on it so who knows whats going to happen.
Nah, we need a Daigo anime

How much input lag/bugs does a Brook add to sticks and is it true a ps3 stick with a Brook would be banned? Aren't sticks supposed to be ps4 only or you're dq'd? I ask because I'm going to the Pro Tour and hopefully EVO.
Which of ya'll are planning to head to Final Round?
Mod the stick, should cost you around 80 bucks with the right person.
Yooo, this sounds good. What's Natural Selection 1 about?
Brooks is weird, my PS1 pad had some lag on PS4 after a couple updates ;_;
HORI Fighting Edge only has PS3 support and Xrd for ps4 doesn't support PS3 sticks.Oh well.

I'll be there.
Getting my new stick today with a Brook board in it. Will use it for a bit and see how it goes.
Isn't the default Mad Katz stick the Daigo edition? It's not like he uses a custom one if I'm not mistaken.

Vouching for Natural Selection 2. I missed out on the release of the original, but the sequel is up there with Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Battlefield 2, Shadowrun and (albeit different) Chromehounds for me in the list of team-oriented classics.
Overwatch just continues the trend of Blizzard not having released anything semi-inspired or well, interesting since Warcraft III for me.

Thanks for the link. As a newcomer to the competitive fighting game scene, I wasn't aware Ricki was trans. Good for her

Rookie League.
LabZero is so much better than, well, everyone at controller integration on PC. Shit just works. Why can't people get their shit together?
(I'm grumpy after wrangling with stupid issues like Xrd not wanting to let 2P use 2P stick, Lethal League/Nidhogg not recognizing shit/using analog for movement, etc.)

A thread on the first page that is actually related to fighting games and doesn't have Street Fighter in the title.

This makes sense.
I'll be materializing at the venue hotel late Thursday. Xrd, VSav, secret Canadian spy missierm, roadtrip to the Atlantic coast afterwards... should be a fun trip.
Haven't sorted out my room splitting situ either, so if any of you are still looking for an in there, I'm holding a room.

dunno if straight adapters are banned, but these are not

and this is your best bet. Its more effort than a plugin adapter, but overall its super easy

What I said in the thread.
I guess I'm a weirdo for getting into them seriously later in life.

yea, that thread seems accurate to me for the usual person. In late high school and early 20s I was a heavy Halo and CoD competitor, these days Im just fighting games, and Id say my care about winning has decreased

Personally I just think it's a matter of time rather than age. I imagine the drive for competition will drop off after someone hits their natural plateau.
Sorry for the late reply guys but after the CPT announcement things have been crazy for us.
If you do come, then we can start talking about housing you tho
We're trying to get lots of interesting things for our visitors, so I don't think we'll be sponsoring anyone in particular this year. If the sponsors let us, we will, but as things are now we would rather finish many details to have a kick ass event.

Damn, is it so? Well we'll always have evo
Yeah I stopped trying to be super competitive when I got older. When I was in my late teens and early 20s I tried to be as competitive as possible while still having a balanced lifestyle. Though I was least interested in competitive gaming before that time.
Nowadays I want to have fun and not take games too seriously. But when I do play games I try to be as effecient at them as possible. So if I do play a single player game I do still try to min/max, go for maximum possible trophies in a reasonable amount of time.

I care about winning but I also care about getting better. I dunno. I don't put much time into it. Some nights I play fighting games all night. Some nights I draw/watch tv all night. Last night was one of those nights.
You can't get better without caring about winning otherwise you won't actually get better.
When people say they don't care about winning it means that they don't have a salty rage fit when they lose anymore. They are more accepting of losses even though they would still vastly prefer to win.

MarkMan confirmed that DirectInput compatibility is being added to a future patch of the PC version.

Wait, did Labzero release a pc version of their driver? what? It's just directinput.

If anything Blizz is ripping directly from DOTA2 for Overwatch, even down to the progression system. But then DOTA2 is ripped from Blizzard stuff so really Blizzard is indirectly ripping themselves off. Confusing.

Ravidrath confirmed they were:

But publishers keep screwing up the implementation of the driver, so we'll see how well it works when the game is released.
Edit: nvm didn't read

Any word on crossplay lobbies? I'd like to assume they are in but with how this game is doing on features...I don't want to assume the basics are taken care of already.
There is no LZ driver for PC. Directinput is pretty much standard practice but Capcom is far too moronic/incompetent to implement it.
Word is that Direct Input will be patched in at an unspecified later date.

I'm 27 and I've never been more willing to compete. I hit a plateau a couple of years ago and gave up for a year. Got back in after that and I've shot past my original skill ceiling to a new one which I'm now trying to break through. I love competing, I hope I always love it.

Starcraft doesn't have talent trees or customizable stats. Maybe it should so more people would play/watch it... a Ayy

Well, at least getting the alternates will be easy.
*ahem* I mean, getting the ability to *pay* for the alternates will be easy.

Personally, I care more about losing because there's more room for examining where you went wrong and subsequently improving in a number of ways.
Haven't heard anything concrete, but I'd assume so with how the Hardware Preference setting from the last beta is also available when creating a Battle Lounge.
