Yes saying that the pc version always has less input delay than ps3 is not true but so is the opposite of that which is what you are saying. 30 percent of people in the steam survey have an amd card and 20 have an intel, so it is not too specific.
I personally have an amd and a 120hz monitor. This is a gaming enthousiast forum, i suspect a lot of people have a 120hz monitor.

But out of that survey 50% have neither and would be unable to even make the setting less than the 360 version. Out of the 30 percent that have an AMD card, how many even use windowed vsync to achieve the affect? You can also make it so that you get more lag than the PS3 version. Of course that wouldn't be a good idea, but I wouldnt mention that either. It makes the most sense to say that it has the same amount of lag as the ps3/arcade version, because that's the setting that most people use and one that you dont have to dig around the internet and your gpu settings to adjust. You would have to specifically look for and use alternatives to achieve a different effect, that for the most part would actually be detrimental to your play if you play locally unless you have a very specific setup(crossfire or SLI) to get it identical to the 360 version and not less.

It's not like I didnt mention that getting less than the 360 version was possible, but by default saying that the input lag is similar to Arcade/PS3 makes by far the most sense.

Similar post I made in Smash GAF thread, but:

Super sad, but I had to sell/am selling all my game stuff in order to help offset additional costs in my personal life. I'm saving up for a wedding/honeymoon come August, and so the game stuff had to go to help offset the cost we didn't see coming. Blah.

Will be missing out on everything this year for sure, and hopefully next year I can get a PS4 again for when SF5 hits.

"Hey guys, I'd (and do) still move, not because I believe they're entitled to the rack - but because I like to be accommodating."

"Stop being an internet-toughguy-douchebag. You should acquiesce when someone on an internet forum threatens you with a IRL physical altercation. You have extra barbells - you're lying. And learn how to do calisthenics for your barbell curls. In fact, if you do calisthenics, you shouldn't even be in a gym, using weights at all. Barbell Squats >>> Barbell Curls. No, that's not a double standard. I don't care about your fitness goals."


"...."

*edit*

Aight, had to get that off my chest I'm done for forealsies.

*edit2*

Oh, I do curl 185+ btw. Not that I think it should matter. But maybe that makes me less of a douchebag *shrug*



Bruh are you seriously talking about curling in the squat rack. really


bruh



seriously, don't do this shit people.

Lord Sirlin owns my soul. Shang Tsung style.

The additional cost to my personal life is/was the need for me becoming a full blown US citizen. I'm 27 now, and have lived here for 22 years as an Alien resident. I originally came from Bosnia. It costs $680 bucks JUST to apply, then some more change is needed for my passport.

When her and I originally did our wedding finances, saving, etc we stupidly forgot to add this in(her passport too), and so we are $1000 negative where we need to be right now to stay on track. We are already doing MAJOR cut backs in every other facet we can, and the majority of game purchases I made was with trade ins of old games, and with me saving up my "lunch funds" here and there.

I'm by no means a ghetto man either. I make a fair living and all that, but weddings and honeymoons are not cheap haha.

I feel like making a GoFundMe, but at the same time I know I have to be willing to make sacrifices myself and not ask for strangers to assist me in a mistake I made when I created our budget. Reap what you sow. Missing out on MGS5 and the SF5 beta this year will be the worst part. :(

If you had said that most people who play on pc have the same lag as the people that play on ps3 then your statement might be correct.

If your statement is that the pc platform has the same lag as ps3/arcade (edit : with vsync on) then your statement is not always true just like the statement that the pc platform always has less input lag than ps3 is not true.

It is important to differentiate between the two because the second statement might make people choose the wrong platform to buy or play the game. Some of those 30% who have an amd card and care about lag might think there is no option for them if they dont want tearing or someone who wants to buy a new card might choose an amd and while there are few people with gsyc, freesync, 120hz, sli and crossfire or are interested in them why should we misinform them?

Read my post history and check the thread in question for proper context. Simplistic cultural norms bore me, as well as any hardliners that immovably adhere to them.

it's a matter of etiquette, you can curl anywhere. You can only squat in a squat/power rack. How am I going to load a bar up and squat 3-500lbs without a rack?


I'll check your post history now.

edit: yeah context doesn't help, I don't agree with that shit AT ALL

You didn't read through the thread.

Even if I stated "Curling in the squat rack is okay as a maxim." - that's not the behavior on display in the thread and isn't what I've been acting on. I do it out of necessity.

You're just as bad as the people posting there.

You're basically saying the very image of a person curling in a squat rack would send you into a testosterone filled rage, regardless of whether or not you, or anyone else needed to squat in it. Regardless of whether or not someone had a choice. Regardless of whether or not they were lifting light or heavy, or EZ Barbell or single handed dumbbells actually fit into their current fitness goals.

That's pathetic.

Glad to hear it, because they're right. Did you think the fgw thread was refuge as you'd be amongst a bunch of dyel's who could just agree with you?

Also, it's called hyperbole. Use some goddamn dumbbells. Someone might actually want to use the bar/rack but don't want to have to confront you. Now you've created a situation just because you couldn't curl like a normal fucking person with some dumbbells anywhere in the gym. But if you're certain no one wants to use the rack bar/ then ego lift that barbell till your hearts content.

If your case is that your gym doesn't have enough barbells then that changes the situation up, in which case you should just use some dumbbells if they're available. Using a barbell and a squat rack for an isolation movement when someone wants to use it for a compound movement and safely is inconsiderate. But if the case is your gym doesn't have enough bars, then that's unfortunate, your gym is an outlier.



edit: i'm done, we can take it to fitness ot, or that etiquette thread.

Dumbells are NOT a substitute for the straight bar and I don't ALWAYS want to work my biceps in isolation. So because I don't have another option, I should just avoid using straight bars all together because someone will have to wait a few minutes (which (mostly) I don't actually do, if you read the thread)?

That doesn't sound ridiculous to you?

Yeah, because I wanted to vent a bit and dead the conversation. I'm awestruck that this is so important that you actually needed to confront me here about it.

curling of any kind is an isolation movement, squatting is a compound movement. And yes dumbbell curls are most certainly a substitute for straight bar. Dumbbells have more utility for curls.

Dude, there really is no such thing as an "isolation movement" or exercise. Muscles work together to assist an agonist in various ways.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ridgely10.htm

Just about any "Isolation movement" can be turned into a proper compound exercise with the right focus. Barbell curl also gets the core involved when you're lifting heavy. It's my go to.

lol ok we need to dead this. You don't know what you're talking about and that is fine.

DOA is the best with it's weights. Raidou and Bass are over 300. Raidou is probably 400.
And his daughters are just 91 and 120 pounds. :p

Ayane just took her mother's strong ass genes.

Nice OS. It's basic fucking physiology that muscles don't work in isolation. You can pretend they do and center an effective strength training routine around that false notion, but that just makes you a meathead.

I always avoided FitGAF because I suspected it was full of em', thanks for confirming that we don't need each other.

Hopefully, we are done.

A "noob" about what? Is this for real? You want to actually refute a point or two instead of lapping up this dude's instagram pics??

I can't believe what I'm seeing!

So if I post pics of myself and you guys approve you'll agree with me, right? Right???
 
Hi, guys.

I have an old SF4 arcade stick and I just started getting into USF4 again. What are some other Steam games with online support (that people still play) in which I can use my stick?

Skullgirls is 80% off on steam sale and there's a few gaffers playing online right now.

Skullgirls and all the DLC are 80% off (not including the two free DLC characters). KOF XIII and MKX will also be on sale during the summer sale (or GMG/Amazon digital stores).
