    Ok managed to properly configure Dante's Inferno and it runs flawless. Upscaled the standard HD resolution as well and it looks quite crisp for such an old game. Good times.

    DoctaMario got a reaction from RSG3 in Video Game Discussion Thread: Now Featuring Animated Avatars   
    You have excellent taste in CV games, those are among my favorites too! I find people who started with the older games are more likely to play and enjoy the metroidvanias than the other way around although even most die hard metroidvania people like at least Rondo. 
     
    i think SotN, while certainly a bit overrated, is still a great game and was a pretty big risk to take at a time when the series probably DID need a new direction so as not to end up like Mega Man. I've played it quite a lot even though when it came out, it took me awhile to really get into it because it didn't have a lot of the things I liked about CV. But I think it stands up as one of the best metroidvanias because it seemed like IGA spent so much time trying to recapture what made it so great in the first place, that the subsequent metroidvanias only showed how great it really was. 
     
    That said, I'm a hardcore CV fan, and if it says Castlevania on the cover, I'll spare no expense and at least give it a chance, so when Konami would decide to go in new directions, to me it meant that while it may not turn out the best, it would at least be something different. So I loved the LoS direction, just like I liked Judgment, and I even had a really good time with Grimoire Of Souls. So I don't understand someone being a fan of the series for a long time and not wanting to see it potentially take new and interesting directions. It's not like you can't play the old games until you're dead if you don't like the new ones.

    SFV, SamSho, and DBFZ would be the easiest for me to make happen, but my biggest constraint is just time.

    Depending on where everyone is, it might not be that bad if everyone's in North America. 
     
    +1 vote for SamSho but I'd also play 3s or even MK11.

    DoctaMario reacted to Psychoblue in Street Fighter x Tekken Discussion thread   
    Last night I got into an exchange on twitter with Javits about time overs.  The Coke Slushee was hitting harder than usual on the sugar/caffeine rush so now I got heat with Xanoz and CoachSteve, and i linked the wrong set to prove my point.  I needed Emezie to bail me out.
     
    I don't think the timer is why Time Overs happen so much.  Once everyone optimizes and works their oki in a way where guys can't roll away free the rounds happen super fast.
     
    The issue is that the top tiers, particular Law, Hwoarang, Chun and Jin, can keep their turns seemingly forever.  I think Hwoarang in particular actually CAN keep his turn forever until the other guy Alpha Counters him.  If you removed that even to a point where they're still safe but their turn is clearly over, or just made some moves flat out unsafe but still safe on tag, Time Overs will pretty much vanish unless the other guy just doesn't know combos, at which point he's probably gonna get waxed anyway.

    I don't have company loyalty.  I don't care who makes the games as long as the game is good.  I certainly don't need Capcom vs Capcom if it's just going to be a  fan circle-jerk.
     
    Quite frankly I think the US is too dedicated to Capcom fighting games.  Too many people will try any game as long as it has Capcom's name on it, but then run away screaming from games from other companies, regardless of quality.  The market has plenty of games right now and I honestly don't think I need anything else from Capcom.

    Kano sucks because unless you can outguess people every time his offense isn't that good.
     
    Compared to a lot of other characters he's very weak and a lot of his tools to get in are quite unsafe.
     
    Basically I gamble all day and hope to frustrate you.  If I was smart I'd pick another character but I'm lazy and command grabs are fun.

    I play with 6 buttons.
     
    This is my control scheme:
     
    1P = 1
    2P = 2
    3P = throw
    1K = 3
    2K = 4
    3K = block
     
    Make sure you have button shortcuts on.  That means that you can perform ex with 1P+2P, and you can do super by hitting 1K + 2K + 3K.  Haven't had any issues with this setup!

    No one does any Fatalities usually so maybe you can just tell them its raspberry jam. And block all FBs.
     
    Can't help you when Kano starts spitting and pissing everywhere though.

    I like this guy's tech channel and these phones made me nostalgic for older phones when there were more creative designs instead of glass slabs that all look the same.

    I don't have any issues with people talking about SRK drama/stuff.  That's totally fine.
     
    BUT I don't want a sticky thread about this stuff because that really defeats the purpose of this site.
     
    Old SRK grudges can stay over there.  Everyone gets a fresh start and a reset here.
