DUDE. Super Baseball 2020 was also released on Genesis and Super NES! You need to google the rom and play the poo poo out of it! (Don't get the SNES version, it has a bunch of poo poo removed)

I wonder if it has GGPO support, now that I think about it...

It looks like a slower VOOT with like three times the anime, generic-looking robots, and HUD elements. It doesn't look bad, I'd just rather play VOOT. Also VOOT is really well balanced, it's like the Guilty Gear of robot games.

VS is completely different from VOOT. High-level play involves boost management, boost manipulation, and boost judgement. The whole game revolves around the boost bar, how much of it you use for various techniques, and trying to figure out how much boost the enemy has, what his options are, and whether you can commit to a serious attack or not. VOOT is a much faster game revolving more around pure technique, skill and reactions, whereas VS is more about reading and judging (both) your opponents. Although it's a lot slower then VOOT even now, VS used to be atrociously slow. Check out RvZ2, which is like torture to play these days. But it was also a lot deeper and even more meticulous than the current VS games, since everything carried a risk as there was no cancel system. GvGN added the "NEXT dash" which is a free cancel that costs a chunk of boost, but before it was added the series was played extremely slowly and cautiously.

What is it used for? I went to the website and it's freakin' terrible. It says how to install it, but not WHY you would install it.

The website says that this thing is for easy modding, but isn't installing it a mod in itself? :confused:

They have some groove-like differences with meter type stuff but they are mostly totally different characters for each moon with different sets of normals/specials

edit: And for the record I don't think F-PCiel is the really broken PCiel

It varies from character to character, but generally the level of difference in core moveset is about the same as, say, Ryu and Evil Ryu in AE. The same basic character but due to a few of normal/special changes the way they're played changes dramatically. It also fucks with core gameplay mechanics, for example Full Moon can hold all 3 buttons to charge meter, but cannot reverse beat (they can only cancel mvc-style lighter to stronger attacks, whereas other styles can cancel nearly anything into anything).

One notable thing is that standard japanese tournament rules force you to stay with one character, but allow you to change moon-style, even after winning. Some characters only have 1 or 2 viable moon-styles (although fb are working hard to increase viability of all moons) but most are viable in all 3 styles and choosing comes down to a balance of personal preference and counterpicking.

Endorph

The moon styles play very differently from each other, even in relatively simple characters. With characters more... I don't wanna say complex, but more defined? They can begin to feel like completely different characters.

Unfortunately with that many characters (30 in the PS2 version of AA, though practically it's more like 26 due to the joke/boss characters) and 3 moon-styles per, some of them end up kind of inferior or outright useless. Still a pretty neat system, though.

I just got a used Madcatz TE stick, and it doesn't register right input when the stick is fully right, all the way to the stop. It will register partial right input, but not full. (if that makes sense) Is this a common problem with a fix, or is the joystick broken?

It could be that the switch at the top left is set to LS(Left stick). If it is, set it to DP (directional pad).

Fake edit: Speaking of sticks, my friends made the mod to my TE to make it a hit box. If my old man hands ever learn to use it, I'll report back on the adv and cons.

I double checked, it was on DP. On the XMB, if I hold it all the way to the right, it'll click over one spot and then stop, and then if I rock it up or down, it will start scrolling again once I feel it click into down-right or down-left.

I can see the positive in giving the game to people who want to explore it, but they're answering questions with the wrong answers (like how the OTG system works, bursts, damage properties, etc) that have been answered correctly by the designers on other occasions. So when somebody comes to them with a question related to one of those things they learned, well...

"Does it use 5 bars to DHC from a level 3 into a level 3?"
"Why would it do that?"
"DHCing into level 3s uses only 2 bars."
"No it doesn't."
"TRY IT."
"No it doesn't!"
"Just do it."
".... wow it only takes 2 bars to DHC into a level 3."

That sounds pretty odd. You're going to have to open it and check the stick and the switches.

- See if the the spring is set correctly. If it has double spring mod perhaps take out one and see if that helps.
- Open up the micro switch box and see if it has the sticky mod. Otherwise, just check out the switches to make sure they are not sticking.

Here are the mods that could have been made.
