LOL, you taught me a noob lesson. I'll be around!

I took a beating from Strayato last night. I need to practice dragon punches, I can't pull them out consistently. And learn some combos. Back to the dojo.

PSN kept disconnecting last night, really frustrating. Also I tried joining some games but always too slow to join, then room full or closed! Is there a quicker way to join than exiting the current game and going through the Multiplayer/Friendly/Accept Invitation menus?

Good playing you all earlier this afternoon. I didn't win any games. I always panic when my opponent is down to the last bit of health, dunno why, hehe. I like spectating too, great watching you guys fight.

Those small buttons look like the select/start buttons.

Modding the HRAP is really easy. I'm a total noob when it comes to anything that requires screwdrivers, wires etc and I managed to mod mine in half an hour.

akihabarashop is great btw. Great communication and fast service. And they take photos of your order before shipping it, like fremont's photo above, which is nice. Something to drool over while you wait for the package to arrive, lol.

Followed a guide. There's plenty of guides on shoryuken.com forums in the tech talk section. Including one specific to HRAPs. Really though, it's just a matter of unscrewing the thing, and then disconnecting the hori buttons, connecting the sanwas, and then closing the stick up. The most difficult part is the unscrewing.


EDIT: This was what I did with my HRAP.

Yeah, I don't think the buttons are significantly different unless you're a very high-end player. I certainly don't think it's improved my game, although the buttons are *very* responsive. So many times I press accidently and do wrong move.

However, the mod is fun to do (IMO, at least on a HRAP), you can change your stick appearance to look more pleasing to the eye, and also increase the resale value of your stick. Not that I'm planning on selling!
