punk rebel ecks: Dec 11, 2010; A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

Real hurthling! posted:

Reviewers of Arms at ars technica were upset to learn that ranked mode is locked behind beating arcade mode on medium difficulty and the ai starts using blocks and dodges at that level.

One guy called nintendo for help and then wrote an article about how the game is a return to classic nes difficulty.

Accessible fighting games are a good source of comedy

My favorite part of these types of games is how reviewers keep claiming the motion controls are "unresponsive" when in reality they work fine and they just suck at the game.

Yeah the character can only punch so fast but you can pump your fist 10 times before it reels back in so you think its broken if youre dumb

learning to get good at a game is a easy way to grow to like it

unfortunately a lot of games don't even give you the opportunity to be terrible at them anymore

I played so much Soul Calibur alone throughout high school that by the time SC2 came out my first year in college I effortlessly owned just about everyone in my dorm.

Arms isn't Virtual On, also Sega's making a new Virtual On as a tie-in to some anime that did a weird "our characters got sucked into the world of Virtual On!" plot.

The anime's "A Certain Magical Index", if that means anything to anyone. They put out a teaser trailer but the game is a long way off and there's no way to know if it'll suck or not, it could just be a VOOT reskin or something:

That sounds too dumb to possibly be true.

IIRC that whole thing started as a crossover light novel and Sega figured that they weren't doing anything else with VO other than putting costumes in PSO2 a few years back so hey.

Anyone have any experience with this thing : https://www.focusattack.com/fanta-crown-upgrade-kit/ ?

I installed it in a crown stick (taking 2 hours of stretching and fiddling while watching a stream to shove the little circular piece into the grommet) and while it feels BETTER and tighter than the crown grommet, it still feels looser and different than my other Myoungshin Fanta stick.

Nostalgia4Butts: Jun 1, 2006; WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

wanna post a vid so we can see how loose it is?

if its assembled correctly and you want it stiffer, you can swap in a new tension spring. i put 4lb ones in all of my sticks

Not sure if that'll help, but I can do that.

I've figured out the exact problem. It isn't nearly sensitive enough in regards to generating inputs. Gentle tilting my Fanta stick generates a click, feedback and input from the stick, gently tilting the modified crown however generates nothing at all. Would a heavier spring help with this?

Nostalgia4Butts: Jun 1, 2006; WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

just looked up the fanta crown stick, and there's no spring. Tension is from the rubber grommet, unlike JLF sticks

not seeing one above the 60a offered in the upgrade kit you already got

you might do well to post in the SRK tech talk section

I got to play some T7 today.

Thank you Namco for making a character especially for me. Pretty dresses, easy combos, short moveset, throws tigers, has a magic 4 and a good jab punish. Capcom was very rude, took away my mains and put only garbage tier people in SFV, and you went through all the trouble of making Kazumi so that I had someone to play.

Looking over the instructions, I think I can see where I messed up.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If I still have the troubles I'll post on SRK's tech forum.

post here too, working on sticks is my jam and i know a few people who might be able to help out if needed.

Fanta sticks are kinda outta my wheelhouse but its fun to learn
