Is there a kof98 rom that has practice modes and poo poo? I can't even practice combos since I have to either fight the dumb AI or just player-less 2p that dies in 3 hits

Just a heads up in case there are people out there that didn't already know, it looks like DreamCancel's doing a bit of a thing today to try and drum up interest in King of Fighters XIII online (a noble goal), which seems an appropriate way to get depressed and angry a'fore St. Paddy's day drinkin': http://dreamcancel.com/2012/03/12/dream-cancel-kofxiii-online-tournament/

Is playing fighters on the Vita comparable to playing them on a controller? I'm kind of thinking of getting a Vita to get MK9 so I can mess around in practice mode when I'm out of the house.

I am trying to play with a stick, but so far using it has been a pain in the rear end. What fingers should you use for the buttons? Also, is the back of your button hand supposed to hurt after playing for a while? I am playing on the Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom stick btw.

My hands DO start hurting when I play on pad, though. Generally, I rest my index, middle and ring fingers over jab strong and fierce (I don't really use my pinky at all.) My thumb rests over short (handy for marvel, I have S mapped to this). When I need to do kicks, I slide my hand down. I mean... it's kinda intuitive, man. Holding the actual stick is less intuitive, though. A lot of people unfamiliar with them will grab the stick like they're churning butter and use their whole arm... that's no good. I grip the ball with the fingertips of my index finger, middle finger and thumb, with my ring finger and pinky against the shaft (hardy har). I use wrist and finger movements to more precisely control the stick, my arm itself doesn't move.

The only thing you'd be missing, if you also play on pad on console, is two shoulder buttons. I don't know MK9 well, but in MvC, those are basically for macro'd commands. So, assuming MK follows the same general pattern, you'd be good to go. Really, it's pretty excellent for practice.

I don't really know how relevant this is to this thread but is anybody playing Yomi online? If you remember from a while back, it's David "David Sirlin" Sirlin's fighting game card game thing, and the online version has been up for a while now. It's pretty fun, and really does feel like a fighting game translated into cards. As a casual fighting game fan who likes to watch high-level matches but lacks the execution skill to really play anything, I've been enjoying the game a lot. You have to buy characters to play with, but two characters are free each week and you can buy new characters with ingame funbux earned from winning. There's a thread in Traditional Games but I thought this might be of interest here, too.

At the risk of starting a flame war and possibly getting myself probated, is there a reason for the disdain some fighting game enthusiasts seem to have for Smash Bros.? A few friends introduced me to the competitive scene, and while I never considered it a fighting game in the past, I'm having a difficult time reconciling my previous views with my current understanding of how the game works. What, from the fighting game player's standpoint, specifically differentiates Smash Bros. out of the genre? The play mechanics are different, obviously, but on a more conceptual level, I'm having trouble seeing the dividing line.

Smash Bros. is not designed to be a serious competitive game and to make it one the people who play need to change the rules in game as well as enforce rules outside of the game. It can be hard to take seriously as an outsider when there are so many rules in place, such as how many times a player can grab a ledge. The giant rule set can be found here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=12492158 There are also issues of who gets player 1 and who gets player 2, as the game decides the winner of some outcomes based on controller port. quote:If there is a dispute in controller port selection or initiating Stage Strike use the following method: In general the scene behind it seems to have forced it to become a competitive game, rather than it naturally being one.

The giant rule set can be found here: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=12492158 I don't really play Brawl mostly because there's a fairly active Melee community at my school for whatever reason, and the only rules I know are that you play a four stock match with an 8 minute time limit, turn on friendly fire for teams, and that you can't do the Ice Climber's freeze glitch. Anyway, the issue with the argument I have is that even if it wasn't intentionally designed as a competitive game, Melee at least still takes a pretty significant amount of skill to play at a higher level, something that I guess I didn't appreciate until I saw it first-hand. Was Street Fighter II intentionally designed from the ground up to be an exceptionally serious competitive game? Some part of me doubts it (please correct me if I'm wrong here), but that doesn't really negate the fact that it most definitely could be played that way. The biggest difference I see here is that while Capcom embraced the competitive scene in future iterations, Nintendo shunned it.

Personally, I could see games like Smash being made with competition in mind and doing well alongside the games being discussed in this thread. A lot of the rules that seem odd are in fighting game terms "infinite runaway" bans that are necessary because of the recovery mechanic. You could certainly take steps in the game to make those situations less exploitable for timer scams but Nintendo is philosophically opposed to playing Smash competitively (see added tripping from Melee to Brawl).

I'm trying to sell a PS3 Femme Fatale limited edition, and I have no idea what price to charge for it. Amazon previously had them going for like $600, which seems ridiculously steep. Really, I'm just trying to get a 360 fight stick in its place, but I'd love it if I could sell it for $600 and just get two 360 sticks.  Anybody have any idea what an appropriate value for this stick would be? It's in excellent condition, just some dirt in some of the creases on the stick, and aftermarket Sanwa buttons (black/grey instead of pink/white, though I kept the original buttons too).

You're not going to get anything near $600 - people on Amazon can set whatever price they want in hopes of catching an idiot. At the end of the day it's a TE with a different color scheme and they've done quite a few "limited edition" sticks already. What it ultimately ends up being worth is how much an avid collector is willing to pay for it. If it was pristine and had the original box, you could probably get more, but in the shape you're saying it is, it means your most likely market (ie stick collectors) probably won't want it.

It actually looks like $200 is the bare minimum right now. I'd guess you can start it at $300 and sell without issue. People were saying that they can go higher on ebay, but the only completed listings I saw were new in box or pristine. One ended at $630 and the other wanted $750 and it didn't sell.

Guilty Gear and HnK are the two biggest ones I know. Combos work differently between player sides in HnK, and in GG there are a bunch of strange things related to crossovers and hitboxes that only effect one side (or did, anyway, not sure how many still exist in AC).

I'm not sure the controller port priority was originally intended to be an anti-competitive element, since it has been in since the N64 game. Maybe they deliberately left it in for that reason though?
