I got told the wildest shit today. Apparently saying that people stop playing a game when the patch take the game in a direction they don't like is a scrubby reason for saying people stopped playing.
 
So I'm a scrub for saying people don't want to play with mechanics they don't like.
 
I'm going to let you guys parse that in your brains.

The command grab is about 10 frames slower than any of the fireballs. You can use audio queues and visual queues of where the ghosts are actually located.
 
When the game first came out, I made the dummy in training mode vary between mid fireball and command grab since they look kind of similar. If you can train yourself to look out for that mid hitting fireball and know when you should be blocking it, it makes dealing with the command grab easier.
 
When JP is at point blank range, it becomes trickier and I need to rely more on audio at that point to react properly.
 
Tldr: The command grab is slower than the fireball, keep that in mind.

On another note, I got all of my Samducksa buttons today and just swapped out the silver switches with the Kailh navy speeds.  It was more of a pain in the ass than I anticipated because I didn't know how fucking delicate the tabs on the metallic buttons are.  I broke 1 tab on like 6/9 of the 24mm ones that I got, but they still seem to be working just fine.  One of the tabs completely broke off and the rest are like broke but still attached.  The solid black buttons I got seemed to be stiffer so it's just the weaker metallic buttons I guess.  
 
I'm going to install em later on and try em out this evening.  I hope I like em on all buttons lol.  I have liked the ones I have in my stick right now but it's a mixture of different buttons and only 5 out of 12.

The SF6 Thread: Capcom Cup Edition - UMA went ten toes down on the competition 😉
 
Edit: @purbeastI'm a patient dude. I'll let people slide on a lot of things....except money. Where money is concerned I go 0-100 quick. If you need money and you know you can't pay me back. Just ask for it. Don't ask to borrow it. If we cool and I can spare it. You can have it. But if you say you are borrowing it and you don't give me my money back. We are going to have SERIOUS issues.

Yah I mean I know a lot of people who also did/do coke (and I steer clear of it - only ever smoked weed as far as drugs go but that has been like nearly 2 decades at this point) but they are functional and have good jobs and aren't going to scam you.  I do wonder what the extent of his usage was though but based on what they said, he was pretty into it.  And it's not a cheap drug as far as I know too.
 
But man, the way he was strung along the whole time and for that long, and the fact that Dieminion didn't realize that for $3k he could have EASILY found a monster PC elsewhere, is a lesson learned for him for sure.  I mean when he said his budget for a powerful PC and 3 monitors was $10k, that was nuts.  You could get that for A LOT less than that.  It would be hard to even spend $5k for the setup he wanted, including 3 good monitors.  
 
He was way more patient than I would have been in that situation, that is for sure.

@purbeastAfter listening to him, it's clear that the only reason he didn't put hands on him is because his older now. Be that as it may, he said "I thought about putting hands on him" considering there location at the time. That tells you how, justifiably, pissed he was. This situation is just sad man. If it wasn't for Kuroda, this would biggest fall from grace in the FGC. At least that I can think of. Seems like Art needs rehab, I think we know where that $3,500 went.

I'm listening to the Dieminion thing right now and am like half way done with it.  It's really crappy and shady wtf Art did to him.  Just all around completely shitty to do, especially from a long time friend.
 
Back in like 2011 or whenever SSF4 came out, Art helped me out cause I used to chat with him on IRC a bit.  When I was making apps, his girlfriend lived in Japan and there was an SSF4 Mook that was Japanese only, and he had his girlfriend buy it and ship it to me here in the states, so that I could add frame data into my app.  It was awesome of him to do and I definitely appreciated it.

Kind of how I feel about Laugh. I got my PS2 to Ps3, and Ps2 to 360 converters from him on SRK. Shipped straight from Korea.
 
Then the fallout with infiltration happened and it was sad times.

I have no idea wtf the Boosie fade is or why it's playing to a banger of an Usher song.

Jesus I have PTSD from the training room music when you have ultra.  That is probably THE worst music in any SF game in history.  And the amount of times we heard that shit since all the pros always picked that shit so that made everyone else always pick that shit.  So glad in SF6 you can disable stages.

Princess Peach Showtime demo is pretty meh.  It seems like it's going to be so easy that it will be boring, which is a problem with some Nintendo games.  The 30fps (at least in handheld mode) is also killing me.

"What do you call nuts on the wall?"
"Walnuts"
"What do you call nuts on your chest?"
"Chestnuts"
"What do you call nuts on your chin?"
"DICK IN YO MOUTH!"
 
The first time I remember "deez nuts" was back when around CDs came out or were newer.
 
"What do you like better - tapes or CDs?"
 
Then no matter what the person says you just responded...
 
"SEE DEEZ NUTS!"

Yeah that pool was boring as shit and dumb to watch.
 

Gotcha.  Yeah I was kind of surprised there was no like spec sheet with those details from Sanwa officially when I was googling.  That seems like something that would be front and center.  But I guess it doesn't matter since they have no variations.
 
I ordered my stuff over the weekend so hopefully by the end of the week I get it all.  I had to order from 2 sites because none of them had everything in stock that I needed.

I am  most likely in the minority, but I dislike the customization options in Tekken 8.  
 
I want my characters and the ones I'm facing to LOOK like the character that has been selected.  
 
I'm glad Capcom allowed us to block outfits online.  I wish they gave us more flexibility in that we could turn off outfits instead of having to always select a default one, but for now it works.  
 
I have Ken and Blanka set to their default costume because their 3rd outfits are just so dumb and don't look like the character they are.

Yeah after I found Cherry MX switches on Amazon and they were expensive for like $10 of em, I was like that seems cheap AF for 36 of em lol.  Hell their Cherry ones are even cheaper since they are on clearance.
 
And they are located about 3 hours from me so I got them in 2 days USPS Ground Advantage.
 
The site is legit for sure though so don't worry about that or anything.
 
Also FWIW, Sanwa's are apparently like .8mm actuation and around 2.5mm bottom or so.  It's hard to find an exact spec on them but googling that is what I came across.
 
I just got back from Microcenter and tried 2 different o-rings to see if I could get the bottom out distance shortened but neither of them would fit, even the smaller one.  They were too large to go "inside" the switch when it's being depressed.  
 
I'm going to try those Kahuna ones from paradise arcade whenever they come back in stock, which they told me should be in the next few weeks.

I got them from here:
 
https://novelkeys.com/products/kailh-switches?variant=40598672474279
 
If you were near me I'd just give you some to play around with I got 36 in the pack and only need like 1/3 of them.  Probably wouldn't be worth it to ship some to you though.
 
This is the comparison between the Kaihl navy and the Cherry Blue.
