at least you beat the game... i still haven't done it yet....

i also kept on dying on my way there lehh....if play like this during those days...dunno can reach RM10 anot...

but you're still my hero man...woo hoo.... i can only beat you if i use my bullet time skill

We should all go to the arcade and play. Should be more fun. Good idea?

Err..anyone's 360 been crashing more often when they play this game? Mine has crashed like 5 times already.

nope no crashes here.. but the game did sign me out of live once...

The best way to do this, is to choose "Traditional", not "Quarter" mode since that passing-of-host thing tend to lags everyone.

The litmus test on how many the game can support yesterday, was a bit disappointing. Only 2 players, otherwise it slideshows like no tomorrow.

This game really brings out the bad-rep remarks submission from me. A$$holes like vulgarmouths, Honda cheapies, and such , they all come out from their hiding places and into this game.

It takes a while to do, but i can now do the DP relatively better than last time, and using the analog stick to boot. The digital pad is too stiff and non-sensitive to my liking. Thank God there arent any supers on this one, otherwise carrying out Blanka/Bison/Guile/Balrog supers would be an exercise in futility methinks.

How To Avoid Street Fighter II Live Timeouts
Today, August 05, 2006, 6 hours ago
It was already bordering on ironic that a $400 gaming system was becoming known as the console to play ports on, but full-blown irony wasn't achieved until those ports starting not working.

Since its launch the Xbox Live Arcade version of Street Fighter II has been having some major issues with online play. So much so, that some people can't play a single match in an evening without a match timing out.

Fortunately, Mookyjooky's CheapAssGamer has come up with a workaround.

"I was playing Street Fighter II earlier tonight and I was getting timeouts after timeouts after timeouts...except this one time, I pressed the "Center Button" (What ever that "X" button is actually called) after it found someone in Quick Match ranked and for the first time in 9-10 timeouts it connected... I tried to quick match afterwards, and got timeouts constantly again...
Then I wondered if I hit the center button, if it would connect again,
and sure enough... it did.

So I played 10 games in a row and not once did it timeout... this is
how I did it. Maybe this works for everyone, but it seems to work for
me.

So click on quick match, and when it finds a person and starts the 5
sec timer, click the center button. Then hit the center button again
when the character select screen pops up. Easy as pie, and I did it 10
times in a row without getting a timeout."



So there you have it, a little button jiggling and the game is as good as new. Brian Crecente

anyone tried this yet?

A really good part of my secondary school days were spent in the arcades (after school hours of course) and a really good part of it was spent behind the joystick of an SF2 machine, from the initial 3 button machines were the buttons were randomly wired, to having actual 6 button machines.... aaaa... those were the days.

God... I got trashed like heck during those days...

At least now I don't have to worry about 20 cents going down the drain whenever someone kills me within 20 clicks of the timer.

I can see that the old n00b tactics still exists, damn chun li thousand leg kick for no good reason, stupid E Honda thousand hand slap thinking he's so good.

And I see the new Lag induced tactics, using light attacks strategically, combos being more deadly.. the dreaded block->throws.. mmm.... good times.. My index finger is even starting to hurt like it used to due to the fierce pounding of my Hori porn stick.

My wife is just amazed in how my attituide changes when I play the game, there's a reason why I don't use the mic in ranked matches and it's not because I cuss a lot!

my 360 just hates me from getting my 7 star difficulty achievement...
for the 3rd or 4th time...I was stuck hung at the Sagat stage..

I just realised something, how do u guys enter matches online? through quick match or custom?

I usually use custom so I get to see a list of matches along with ping times. now the ping times are the pings for that guy to the matchmaking server, so what I did now instead of looking for green ping times, now I look for RED ping times, my reasoning is if they're far away from the matchmaking server to get a red listing they might be close enough to me for less laggy matches.

seems to be working, got a lot of matches with ppl in the uk where it's just slow motion and not a bloody slideshow.

hope that helps

Hah.. my 1st negative vote.. UNSPORTING.. hahhahaha I'm unsporting!! Gheezz.. it's a ranked match dude, I'm not gonna let a round slide!

finally ! got my highest difficulty achievement...

edit: now to get the remaining 2...

Why SF2-HF is not available in my XBLA games download list? My Live account is US' account, so shouldn't it be there?

This post has been edited by mzaidi: Aug 16 2006, 08:29 PM

yes, it should be there, check under games download instead then. Also are you viewing ALL games, cause I think it would have dropped out of new games list already

Eh.. Mzaidi.. I'm looking at your Gamer Card.. it states SG as your location, you sure your account is US one? Easiest way to check is to look at the currency type used for buying points, is it USD or SGD?

Yah, I just realised that the region is depending on the e-mail address, not the "locale" setting in the system blade. Previously I set it to US and on my profile it shows US, just now I change it to Singapore, and it now my profile shows Singapore as my region.

So what is your Live account region? Must be US to see SF2

It's Singapore because of my e-mail address. I thought it's US because when I see my profile on Xbox.com, it stated that I'm under US account, aparently the location on Xbox.com profile is influenced by "locale" setting on system blade.

If I create another Live account under US region, and download SF2 using that profile, will I be able to play it online using my Singapore account?
