are you on stick or on pad? I play on stick and can literally mash the combo out just mashing qcfx2+p during hard kick.. if you're playing on pad you might require some more thumb dexterity lol

 

[ChaoZ]

I'm on a pad and I finally managed to do it. I don't think I'll ever pull that off in a real match.

Question:

In the PS3 version, can I reassign buttons? I want to make the L2 button the Y button. Reason is, I'm building a fight stick and I just damaged the Y button solder point.

How about the PC version?

THANK YOU OMG YES!!!!

Full story:

I had my 360 wireless PCB all wired up only to break a diode that
was necessary for D-right and Y button. So I went to use a PC gamepad PCB instead
(which worked on PS3) , wired it all up, only to find the Y button didn't work.

I guess I'll just L2 as my Y button on the PS3, and LB and LT as my D-right and Y on the 360.

oh you can't make dpad directions be buttons though, only the face buttons and triggers and bumpers.

dpad is stuck to directions only

 

[RESmonkey]

Er, are uncommon buttons like "Select" part of this customization?

Thanks again

Gotcha. Didn't see the reply before I double posted XD

Guess I'll just hold off the 360 one until I fix it with a BAT54A diode.
PS3 here I come!

I'm on PSN, "RESmonkey" but I'm a noob at SFIV lol

Man, this thread died a quick and painless death, didn't it. Time for me to zombie-fy it!

I'm mostly in my regional SRK forums these days...but I had no idea this thread had stopped.

 

[SirWiggle]

Yeah, first time visitor here. How's about some NSB Daigo Challenge videos to bring it back to life?

Defibrillator? Clear!

Just got my TE stick and I have to say I'm disappointed. Most of the reviews rated this one a top notch joystick and rate it above the X-arcade.

I prefer the X-Arcade one by far.

It is pretty but the X-Arcade stick feels much better in my hands. Particularly the joystick. Did US SF4 Arcade machines have the clicky joystick? I am just wondering because it doesn't have a heavy feel to it like the X-Arcade.

I wish the X-arcade one wasn't so ugly.

Most people don't like a heavy feel...and the TE stick uses the exact same parts (Sanwa) as the arcade, hence the preference.

Most competitive arcades use the sanwa sticks and buttons but it's really up to the arcade owners to put whichever stick they want inside.

It's no big deal to prefer X-arcade over the TE though especially if you've played for years on X-arcade. Using the TE is in a way kind of like learning a new language and speaking with an accent.

there is no US SF4 arcade machine, there are only japanese ones, and they use the sanwa parts.

the x-arcade uses happ parts, which all american cabs use, which is probably the reason you are used to it.

i've grown used to sanwa now and prefer it, but this joystick i built back in april or so is the first time i ever used it. it took me a while to get used to it, and i actually put more springs into the joystick to make it stiffer, and now i like it a lot more tan i used to. i think i'd stick w/sanwa now over happ for joystick.

buttons are night and day, sanwa buttons are WAY better than happ buttons, but they do take getting used to as well since they are so damn sensitive.

in the end, it is all just personal preference. all the people on SRK love sanwa solely because tey are on the japanese players nuts.

EDIT:

and all the US cabs use the 8 way happ that actually does click loud, just in arcades, since they are so loud, you dont really hear it. the happ buttons also click a lot too. it is the microswitches on them.

since your x arcade doesn't click on the joystick, it probably uses the perfect 360 happ stick.

 

[I4AT]

The X-Arcades actually use their own knock off sticks, which are modeled after the Happ Super. They also use proprietary PCBs which most people probably wouldn't bother modding for P360 support. The reason you aren't hearing clicking as much compared to your TE is that the X-Arcade uses a thick wooden panel, and the TE uses thinner metal and plastic. Plus a lot of the sound from the microswitches gets drowned out by the dust washer which is usually getting flung around like crazy. I started playing on an Agetec, and then I bought an X-Arcade Solo with a Happ Competition and I found it very uncomfortable to play on since I have smaller hands, and the buttons were spaced too far apart for me. I also couldn't adjust to the insanely long throw of the stick after using Japanese style parts for so long. Happ is more suited for players that really like to jam on the stick.

But anyways since this thread has been resurrected, if anyone still hasn't gotten a copy of SFIV I'd trade mine for Resident Evil 5. Also looking to trade BlazBlue LE with a sealed bonus disc for ODST, all 360. I completely regret not picking up ODST for $30 from Amazon but I was being a cheapass and waiting for it to be goldboxed. Somebody who already has Halo 3 but wants to get into fighters give a whistle.

I like the Sanwa buttons and think I'd actually prefer them but I find the Joystick to be awful for me since I find it too small and light.

Maybe I'll go custom one of these days.

yea the sanwa joystick was too "loose" to me. i then added in 2 more springs and it's pretty much like the happ sticks i grew up with.

i do like the octo gate as well. the TE comes w/a square gate by default. it makes a HUGE difference if you are used to american sticks (the ones that have no gate or a circle gate).

i play a charge character and prefer the octo gate, and people think i'm crazy.

any of you guys still playing this regularly?

now that uncharted 2, ratchet and clank, and i'm pretty bored of mw2, i have picked it up again and am kind of hooked once again.

I am on PC quite a bit. Xbox once in a while.

 

[purbeast0]

yea i completely stopped playing on PC and strictly on 360 now. my new monitor I have my 360/ps3 hooked up to is lagless and i tried going back to my pc monitor a month or so ago and wow, it is like night and day to me heh. i feel like i have to be a psychic to play on anything else.

and then i tried on my DLP the other day when I had my 360 hooked up to that to watch a movei ... wow, i cant believe i used to think playing on the DLP for so many years was "normal". it is so noticeable how much it lags now.

 

[child of wonder]

My Samsung LCD TV has a "Game Mode" which helps the lag quite a bit. I mostly play on the PC because it's hard to get the 55" LCD TV all to myself (wife and kids want to use it, too!).

How did you connect your 360 to your monitor? On my TV (Sony 50A3000 SXRD), there's a frame of lag through HDMI. I haven't been able to test lag on my 360 -> VGA -> Dell 2005FPW, but it feels a lot better than through my TV.

 

[purbeast0]

I have my 360 connected with the VGA adapter.

I also had a first gen DLP, and my PC monitor was some 22" V7 Monitor I saw on slickdeals last year when I was building my PC for like $130 and it had decent reviews. My DLP has big time lag, and my PC monitor has lag between my DLP and my current monitor I use for gaming.

The monitor I use now for my gaming is the same one they use at the Evo tourney. It's an ASUS 23" monitor, forget the exact model # right now but can get it if you want. I haev actually brought it to people's houses for local gatherings too because it's very portable and we can get other setups going easily. I don't know if it's 100% lagless as a CRT is, but it is as lagless as an LCD can get I believe. I also have no timing issues going between CRT and my monitor now, as I used to when gaming primarily on my DLP.

I actually enjoy having a seperate monitor for gaming too. On sundays when watching football on the DLP, I will have my 23" monitor on my coffee table and play SF4 while watching TV heh.

If your TV has only 1 frame of lag that is probably hardly noticeable, if at all.

I used the in game calibration for Rockband 2 to see how much lag my TV had. my DLP had over 90MS of lag, and I believe sf4 is about 1 frame every 16MS, so it was almost 6 frames of lag, which as you know, in SF4 is HUGE!

 

[child of wonder]

Thanks for the ass kicking!

I have a hard time against charge characters, especially good Balrog players. As you could see once you took Ryu, I felt a lot more in my element.
