eTokki is highly recommended (ps2->360; no passthrough)

Another one is the Xconverter 360 (eTokki used to carry this but replaced it because it requires a 360 PCB passthrough).

If you can get the SuperUFO Controller Converter Pro (http://superufo.com/product_html/Xbox_1___360_xBox360_Controller_converter_PRO.html) these are also great (can do PS2 or PS3! (controller) to 360 without a 360 PCB passthrough.

There's also this one: http://superufo.com/product_html/Xbox_1___360_PS2_Controller_to_XBOX_360_Converter.html that does PS2 -> 360 (requires 360 pcb passthrough)

Those are your main options.

Your CHEAPEST option is probably this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ps2-to-xbox-360-controller-adapter-cable-33241 that you can find at various online retailers/eBay.

It's iffy though. That last option hasn't been thoroughly tested and although they're (for the most part) lagless, they get a little glitchy. Sometimes they hold inputs (directions) sometimes they drop/add inputs (it seems). Most people have had very little problems with them, but you're taking a gamble when you buy them. For the most part, anecdotal SRK/Youtube reviews praise this converter but like I said, no extensive testing has been done.

Playing sum ranked. This is the first time in a while I've played this game at this time of the day, and it's taking forever for people to join my lobbies. I don't think I've ever gone this long before without someone joining. The lobby I got up now is going on 5 minutes. wtf?

And why u duckin' me Black Vegeta? ;_;

lol, I can't join your lobby. Did you get the request I sent you?

NAH Duckin'. quack, quack

Also, I see you ranked but you have no connection. That's prolly why people are taking forever trying to join your ranked lobby.

I mean, I've spent more than that on Team Sp00ky shirts and donations, but the difference is they aren't (weren't?) sponsored, and provide me with continuous entertainment.

Uploaded some matches again. I've been playing Dee Jay a lot lately so here is two Dee Jay matcches and one Rog match. All of them have some kind of comebacks in them. I'm trying to make Threi proud!
Dee Jay:
vs Ken
My first time pulling off EX-MGP -> dash Ultra in a match.

vs TOP#3 Oni on XBL

Rog:
vs a good Cody
First comeback didn't work out, but the second one did.

Seriously, Cross Counter as a whole puts out so much content I literally have a backlog of videos to watch. Watching the latest episode of (pre-recorded) CCTV right now, and still have Gootecks's 3S Sets to watch.

Also, it's Xian's birthday, yesterday was Frieda's (and Nas's).

It's interesting watching a Gen player in action since I've never seen him played. I'd almost like to give him a try....if I could ever wrap my head around the whole stance thing you have to do with him (that means never).

What's a PCB?

 

[notworksafe]

What's a PCB?

Printed Circuit Board

Basically a circuit board that (in this case) lets you use a controller for a different console.

So the 360 has to have one of those for me to use the converter? I'm confused.

you need a 360 controller to plug into the converter as well to be able to use your playstation controller.

 

[Red Liquorice]

There's really nothing to it. You keep a subconscious mental check of what stance you're in 99.9% of the time.

 

[notworksafe]

So the 360 has to have one of those for me to use the converter? I'm confused.

No, no. You'd use the the PCB as a passthrough to the console (plug ps2 controller into one side, xbox360 controller into another, then go into the console).

It's easier to just buy an converter that doesn't need one though. I recommend the etokki.com one. It's very good (no lag) and doesn't require a passthrough. http://etokki.com/Xtokki360

Nice! SF4 must be the most recent game I have nostalgia for.

Ok, thanks guys. I want that SuperUFO converter, but it's out of stock. That etokki one looks good, though.

Something about Vanilla. Super is way more balanced, and I loved the additional characters, but dat Vanilla. Hope SF5 can do the same thing for me again.

Also, post KO taunts and inputs...RIP.

 

[USD]

It's funny, watching the match again for the first time in a few years, Justin was beating Daigo just with the power of footsies: cr.RH and Rekka all day, plus a few sneaky Tenshins thrown in. If someone was seriously playing Fei Long back then, he'd already have been nerfed in AE.

So I don't usually like to hop aboard the "omahgosh I played a well-known player better upload that shit" train but this was a pretty good match I had with Chris Hu that ended in pretty spectacular fashion. I didn't even know Oni could do that, but I guess it should've been obvious.

I shoulda had the game won at the end when he jumped at me but I used cr.mk instead of fukiage or jump back fierce. Dunno why, since cr.mk obviously wasn't gonna work at that angle.

Yeah, that was a nasty finish.

I thought I was the only one who played with the music off, but then I noticed you just have the music volume very low. I only turn off the music when I'm raging though, haha.

I have it as low as it'll go. You can't turn it off completely for whatever inane reason.

Pretty boss finish. Hu's Oni looks like a real terror to fight.

The way I do it is play a custom track, then pause it. Don't have to mess with options, and if I want the music on again, I can do it instantly.

[Kadey]

Actually I do play music during my stream without having the music from the game itself on and I do it via custom soundtrack. What I do is play a dead silent track. I have an mp3 of continuous silence. The slim Xbox is a POS when it comes to copying mp3s or whatever so you have to stream it with windows media center from your PC.

I'm going to make sure a bunch of people can watch SBO and chat about it at the same time so I may be doing something about that.

Yo Kadey, keep that shit REAL low key. Last year there were a lot of re-streams and they got shut down quickfast. Last thing you need is to be on j.tv's shitlist for something like that. And if that isn't scary enough, you definitely don't want UltraDavid to get angry.
