To me, it's not about the damage, it's about having the upper-hand at pressure. Abel's hitbox is larger than most characters so I think this is fair to him. Hope he can perform this to Fei Long, as he has an Abel-only true infinite combo - pathetic damage as well.

Yes, and I prefer Seimetsu because I can go tappity tap tappity tap all day long. Music to my ears.

DS3 also works for it... as long it has the 20-pin connector (FCC)...

To Mike, Lykiat, Edwin,

Update on Sanwa: though we still can get stock anytime direct from Japan unlike proxy sites like Lizardlick, akihabarashop (stocked-out but reopened orders recently), this tumpang is put on hold pending participation of the organizer, come month end.

Meanwhile, let's review our options:

1) We can wait till month end and proceed with our Sanwa orders. Pricing will be close/equal to cost + misc e.g. taxes

2) We can go for Seimitsu instead, I will list down an inventory of items e.g. clear buttons, bubble-tops and sticks later on. You can always google for what you want first.

** As for me, I'm keen on Seimitsu's buttons because they look nicer when included in stick mods. Buttons feel nicer to my fingers. The basic differences between this and Sanwa's:

Sanwa:
• Concave surface
• Soft/mushy but still with excellent build quality, can't rest fingers on them as pressure will result in button press. Maybe TAP input capture for Boxer users will be better???
• Really up to individual preference

Seimitsu:
• Flat surface
• Requires more pressure than Sanwa, but still easy to execute piano taps, rolling finders across all buttons, etc
• Ideal for shooters

I'm looking to explore on replacement stick options too, either LS-32/-01 or LS-56 (smaller throw aka circumference - good for dash, parries and FADC cancels!) Sanwa square-JLFs get in the way of Ultra executions due to SF4's shortcut system.

Forget faces, how about (_|_) ???

TTH, ok! Little birdie also told me - so Seimitsu is on. I will compile the listing when I'm a bit more free. Btw I just bought a new set of Allen keys for RM2.

Lykiat and Eddy (will later PM you guys if there's no response), sorry but the tumpang will now be for Seimitsu now instead of Sanwa. Interested? I have slots for you guys. Later on (few weeks?) if you still want Sanwa I can organize one as I would also like a stick using their parts.

No problem - the picture tells me very clear enough! So start buttons will be red too?:

Without any redrawn or bumped-up sprites, MVC2 will look ugly on current HDTVs. I personally think it's in a little too late, but good of Capcom to bring this to the masses.

Compared visually, Blazblue and even SFHD will blow this out of the 2D water. As a former combo-freak and Mag user, I really do not see myself getting in-depth to this again.

To each his own - I really love the artistic direction for the new Udon sprites. The game simply looks gorgeous in 1080p, and this is very evident in 40+ inchers!

TE Template of the Day:

Eddy, clear purple SEs won't look good unless you dye the TE plastic with a matching vinyl dye... a great risk and sacrifice for our investments!

I'd go for clear whites instead. So at least if we insert any art into the buttons, it won't have the tint of the coloured versions.

Mike: Nice...

No inconvenience... I'll prepare the order summary by month end... still got time.

Very good improvement in execution. I could do Viper's HP Lightning cancel and ELF's HP HP HP... easily now. And the silent buttons are a plus as I do not need to wake up people in the house now. We'll discuss options offline, with Eugene too if possible.

Hi lykiat, hope you have things up and running soon. FYI, post-Championship Pack DLC update, games are much more smoother and on my 1MB Streamyx line I get FULL, GREEN, 5/5 network bars most of the time.

Everyone:
All Alt Costumes DLC for PSN estimated to be out anytime (XBOX360 out already), est. cost US$12.50 (save US$7.50)

I will then start using the ladies more

It's out now at $12.50, US PSN. See you with Caterpillar Rufus and Spandex Sagat

Mike: let have some big baos man ~

There's a dedicated stick thread:

Do post your pics there and share some ideas on how we can make it better, internally, externally and gameplay-wise.
