leongteng,

i think the abel u referring to is Kodanshi which got 2nd place in the tourney .. Eddy won first place with his guile ... anyway, this should be in the tournament thread

ya man !!! nice playing with you, freddy and "hau sui" i think !!! hehee another 1 that uses akuma is who ar ??

you are definitely right ! it was fun !!! i was like being gang banged !! hahaha

against his gief ??? hahaha what else , eat super and ultras for free lor hahaha

ya man , honda although have few options only but he really does massive damages ... to bad his head butt doesn't goes through fireball's like in sfhd

As Mike shared, Eddy won. I was the Rufus/Sagat player (we played once). I guess your brother was the one who used Ken?

To everyone:Is anybody else besides mikeeeee on Izzi? My friend Freddy (PSN = virus708) uses P1 and he reported good connections with Izzi users. Please do add him! FYI playing him is like buy 1 free 4 coz sometimes there will be multiple guys at his shop taking turns on the console. You will get to fight chars like Blanka, Dhalsim, Akuma, Gief, Abel, Cammy, Guile, Ryu, Ken, Sagat.. by Freddy himself (3rd placed guy in the Sony Tourney / Hau Sui (Saliva) / Eddy (mini tourney champ) / Kenneth (Sony Tourney champ) / TristanX (Sony Tourney 1st runner up) so you can definitely have a wholesome experience - just like eating Gardenia bread!

Please feel free to add me too: rawfish_us thanks!

Ivanvenn,

bro, nice playing you again even though the session is short!!! you have a very good ken !!!

too bad i couldn't give you a worthy challenge due to the "unblockables" hahah , don't get me wrong .. i'm not finding excuses but just that i thought you would enjoyed a more worthy fight hehe

hope we'll try again soon

Fruitler,
Good to see you after so long man !!! always been my pleasure to give you a go fight !! like the old days + the better connection ...

Phyurix,
Thanks for adding me, had lotsa fun with all your characters, you seems to be master of many characters!!!
We shall play again soon heheh

Ahbeegtr,
Thanks for the game too , good games !!!! Now i'm starting to hate that ELF more

Eddy/Kenneth/Freddy,
OMG u guys, really SF craze people .... so late liao still available for challenge hehehe ... even though laggy .. i truly enjoyed the sessions. Sorry gotta go as it was already 3-4am if not mistaken.
wow,  last night was really a busy busy SF4 day for me, shortest sessions were about 5-6 matches and longest were 30 over matches .... enjoyed every bit of it, none stop actions !!!!!

Most gurus here have already answered questions about the sticks, lemme share my input:

• Phyurix: on the other hand the Westerners designed it following the official SF4 Taito Vewlix cabinet panel found in Japanese arcades. So these are what the Japanese are using, down to the stick, buttons and button layout. And you are right about the price - costs a bomb and I will later on comment on the experience!

• Rockfire PS2 to USB adapter: this is what I am using now, and there's no visible input lag.

• The TE uses the same Sanwa JLF stick as the HORI RAP3. The 2 main similarities between them, which comes to mind, are the buttons and stick. TE has a cord storage compartment behind, lock mode for the turbo buttons, convenient placing of Home and Start buttons (at the back) to prevent accidental presses when mashing (= instant disqualification in US tourneys), exact button layout/panel design as the Vewlix, removable legs to enable table mounting via screw, etc.

• The Virtua Stick High Grade (VSHG) has been discontinued by SEGA. Only option is eBay where a lot of people are also looking to obtain one. Solid piece of stick and I personally prefer it over the HRAP3 for non-Tekken games alone

• senzr: nice weapon of choice there. Not to sound anal but the 'SA' = SAnwa Edition. HORI names their sticks this way. So 'SE' = SEimitsu Edition. I failed. That sounded anal of me

• Eddy: Nice deal. You can get 2 HRAP3s with a TE Actually it's true the US buttons are better and more responsive than Japanese counterparts. HORI proprietary nonetheless, still good. Oh yeah.... DAMNIT Eddy congratulations THE STICK!
I second TristanX to be the next TS for version 3!

AFAIK, the only thing better than that Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 is a Madcatz TE. is that ur dream stick ?

If yes, ur very lucky 2 hv one as it just about sold out everywhere in the planet

Championship Mode DLC should be made available to us on Saturday (US has 5 different timezones). I am getting up early for this!

Personally I prefer the XBOX360 versions as you will be able to see the player's inputs in replays. Excellent feature when it comes to knowing how that walking instant raging demon is being performed

Wah... How to play if no arm?

Btw, exactly lah, how much you paid for it?

wah... Damn brutal. But I think for you, its worth it punya.

Both SE and SA are good but SE is certainly more PIMP !!!

Mikeeee, Eddy....

Could both of you work out on a time to meet up? It's kinda hard being in the middle, shooting emails back and forth. Feel like a ping pong ball.

Thanks.

Anyone else got stick to let go?
I really want a HRAP3 stick a.......

I've got a HRAP3 and I'm contemplating of selling it off. Backside itchy, wanna try a Madcatz TE instead. Eddy, how much u got the TE for? Very interested. I don't have Ah Chuen's contacts. Can ask him how much it is? If I don't need to top up too much, I'll just go for the TE.

Eddy

What will you do with your Sanwa buttons after your Seimetsu's arrive?

*wink wink*

guys, is it possible to use instead of 3 punch or kick buttons, I use 2 buttons of it instead? used to work for many other capcom games. so curious about this.

Either way it must be three eh? I guess the SF Alpha style is implemented here.

aiseh... Meaning, confirm damn hard do 3 button press with DS3. If not using a shortcut key lah. but shortcut placing also quite awkward already.

I'll almost definitely get the PC version.

remember, PS3's not mine.
