/vr/ - Retro Games

I've used GGPO to play a few arcade games. Street Fighter 3rd Strike, KoF, Samurai Shodown, Dynasty Wars, Some other beat em ups and Super Puzzle Fighter. Fun stuff.

I used to play Super Turbo a lot on GGPO, but I've always found it a pain to get working well on my internet connection.

Supercade is good too, but I only play Hyper Fighting on it and it and practically nobody plays that. I tend to get a lot of requests for 3rd strike and KoF on that though.

Maybe someday I'll come back to it but not at the moment I won't.

I also really enjoy playing Super Turbo but I'm sorta serious about it.
I play vampire Savior on the side, what a fun game

Used two years ago to watch some KoF '00. I'd be lucky if I can watch a decent match a month now.

>>1555787
Used to watch it two years ago.

>>1555518
I wouldn't mind attempting to get in some casual KOF '98 games going or so.

It's been ages since I played the game, so I can't really promise to be anything but free wins.

To be honest I'd rather use MAMEHub these days. GGPO was such a pain in the ass the setup last time I tried it and it doesn't support a lot of games.

>some guy makes a cross-platform client for GGPO
>still requires fucking around with WINE to make it work
FUCK

>>1556018
Link to a Linux build?

>GGPO MOTW
>blast some dude with my girl Jenet or my boy Terry
>dude switches to Kevin
Every time. Oh well. I don't blame them, though, practicing his qcb cancels basically guarantees wins against 90% of people.

I play the VSAV and the ST. :3

Felicia and O.Hawk represent.

I've spent many hours on Supercade playing SF2, 3s, and KOF. I've stopped playing as much recently because I actually have people to play IRL with.

For some reason, GGPO completely freaks out for me for any game that isn't CPS2. Best I can get is like 1-2 rounds in a game before it crashes, and it sucks because I really wanna play some '98.

I'm down to play some on GGPO if anyone wants to. Looks like some good interest in kof98. I'm not good but I'll play it.

>>1556018
I just use GGPO in wine, and it works fine.

>>1556018
>Install Adobe Air
>Launch GGPO
worked as good as windows even if the main GGPO menu was a little fucked and I kept getting screen tearing

>>1560107
That's all I did on linux, too, and I don't even get any screen tearing or a fucked up menu or anything like that.

Just started playing Samsho 5 Special today. Holy shit what an amazing game.

>>1560141
I love samshoVsp. I'll play it with you if you want.

>>1560141
is it just me or am I seeing her shoe on her foot before she puts it back?

>>1560158
Just you, I guess. I went frame by frame on it and her shoe was off the whole time. Some of the dustcloud makes it look like there are dark spots where her foot is, but I think it's just the dust.

>>1560158
She drops the shoe, slips it on, and then pulls the heel over the back of her foot. It's how she puts her shoe back on.

>>1560141
I remember back in the day there was a patch to unlock the fatalities. It doesn't add much to the game but you should look it up.

>>1560173
GGPO has the fatalities already unlocked I think. 90% sure.

>>1560151
I'm down for some time in the future, taking a little break for a while Username is Gato69, because I couldn't remember my other login info.

For some reason I could never play anyone. I could never connect to them.

>>1560265
>>1560141

Is this Last Blade?

Can you play Last Blade on GGPO? I'm a noob and was looking to learn that game.

>>1560325
That's Garou: Mark Of The Wolves

>>1560325
That's Garou. Last Blade 2 seems fucking awesome, though. I wish people would play it. I want to play it but there isn't anyone to play with.

>>1560325
The webms are Garou: MOTW

Yes you can play Last Blade on GGPO. It's fun as can be.

>>1560325
No and yes, in that order.

If it runs on Final Burn Alpha, it can be played on GGPO.

>>1560335
Tell me where to get the files and I'll play. Live in South America, probably gonna get shit ping, but I personally don't mind.

>>1560339
fightanvidya.com/games

>>1560350
>fightanvidya.com/games
also note the mandatory files at the top that are text-only. A lot of people miss them.

>only one person in Last Blade 2 lobby

>retrieving match info

It's stuck there.

>>1560374
sorry, I had to finish up what I was doing. There's a guy in there but he's South Korean so I assume you aren't him.

My ggpo name is ApolloCreed and I'll play whatever if anyone here wants to.

>>1560401
Yeah, I started watching another match.

Someone had challenged me but I couldn't connect to him for some reason. I just forwarded the ports on my router. Do I have to forward them on Windows too?

>>1560418
honestly I don't know. I use ggpo on linux, and I haven't had to do any port forwarding.

WTF is EX mode? They're using it against me, didn't know it existed.

>>1560536
in kof98? It just has different system mechanics. Dodge instead of roll, dash instead of run, different meter mechanics, etc

It's worse for most characters except for a couple.

>>1560541
Last Blade 2

>>1560543
Oh, in last blade 2 I think you both deal and receive 150% damage

GGPO seems deserted. Has everyone migrated to supercade?

>>1560586
depends on the game. Still plenty of KoF and street fighter players on GGPO.

I would like to play GGPO with /vr/ sometime.

>>1560601
Which game? I'm in the lobby.

>>1560602
sorry for the late reply, setting up.

>>1560624
Playing 3S right now

>>1560642
just got my ass handed to me by some dude called x_A

>>1560657
signing out, had enough. I need more practice.

I use it a lot to get destroyed at Super Turbo.

>download supercade
>fuckton of games supported

Well holy god damn. Good to see more than fighting games are supported.

Nickname is build-system on both supercade and ggpo.

>>1560314
Port forwarding problem?

I like Super Turbo and Third Strike but I'm pretty bad at both.

How do get gud?

>>1560880
I'm 90% sure this is the issue for any GGPO issue. 10% is crappy connection.

Anybody on GGPO right now?

I'm down to play anything.

>>1561640
Give me a few minutes and I'll play some. What's your ggpo name? Any games in particular you want to try out?

>>1561647
Oops forgot to include my name. It's "Shamwow".

I'm a noob, so I'll play anything.

>>1560880
Well, it was probably my shitty old router. No matter how many times I port forwarded the thing, it would never work. Eventually I just stopped logging into GGPO.

I have a new router now and after forwarding the ports yesterday I was pleasantly surprised.

>>1561640
Logging in now. Nickname is build-system.

>>1561684
Which room are you in?

>>1561694
Currently in Marvel vs. Capcom. I'm down for 3S, Marvel vs. Capcom, Last Blade 2, Super Turbo... Anything.

Id be up for some games on GGPO

Anyone want to play some Garou? im new trying to learn the game.

>>1561723
I don't know the game at all. Let's play. What's your nickname?

>>1561705
GGs man. That was fun, I should learn how to do air combos lol.

>>1561713
>>1561723
If you guys are still around, I'm down to play.

my nick is "Shamwow" I'm in the lobby right now.

>>1561784
Thanks for the game. Sorry about the latency. If you want to play something else like 3S, I'm down.

>>1561790
Sure I can play 3S.

>>1561781
nubi

Just re downloading GGPO and ill be ready soon if anyone wants to play?

KOF2002
KOF98
Garaou (I have never played it before)

>>1561821
ill play Garou,

GGPO name is nubi, only played the game a few times myself, im in the room set to AFK, let me know when your set.

>>1561838
cool, im on a new windows install so im just setting up that DS3 driver bullshit

cant wait till my neogeo USB pad is here

>>1561859
whats your GGPO name?

>>1561869
marclar619, just doing button configs now

Any way to stop this shit?

>>1561896
dont press any buttons till the round starts, also it happens if the games laggy.

>>1561896
No. It's a problem unique to 3rd strike. Just don't mash buttons between rounds, and you can avoid is as much as possible. Otherwise there really isn't anything you can do but deal with it.

It's usually pretty occasional so it isn't that big of a deal if you like 3rd strike.

>>1561869
hmm, i think i have to open ports, stuck at retrieving match info.

>>1561915
yes ports need to be open I havent used GGPO in a long ass time but I bet the netcode is still the same, it uses p2p so ports open is a must.

>>1561920
well the netcode has been upgraded a bit but yeah it's the same concept.

Anyone else playing anything?

marclar619 again, I think I have it now, i had to use port triggering

>>1562094
cool im in the Garou room.

>>1562124
here now

>>1561896
That LB2 session was fun as hell man, thanks. I'm sort of interested in learning it now.

I should play more SNK games.

>>1562149
Yeah. I don't see why this game is so obscure. It's awesome.

SNK makes the best looking fighters. Even the recent KOFXIII is amazing.

>>1562149
This seems to be the best resource for learning the game:

http://wiki.shoryuken.com/The_Last_Blade_2

>>1561896
Cool scanlines.

>>1562164
>>1562149
You guys should try Samurai Shodown V Special

>>1562186
I'll get into it eventually.

How can I train for these games? The arcade version doesn't have training mode. I want to practice because I can barely pull off supers in SNK games.

Damn Kain is so fun in MotW, wish he was in KoF

>>1562190
just do a 2 player game and set the second players health to infinite with the cheats

Capcom vs. SNK 2 when?

I really wanted to get some furious Evil Ryu game on.

>>1562191
Garou Sprites look so good

>>1558882
Are you sure your ROMS are set to MVS and AES? Playing against someone who's set to MVS while you're in AES will cause a desync.

>>1562190
Use MAME and look up unibios. With neogeo games you can interrupt the unibios startup with ABC and set it to home console mode, which has training mode.

Alternatively, you can just use cheats for infinite time and health, and either practice on a CPU or on a dummy challenger.

>>1562201
>SNK Sprites look so good

Fixed. The sprites are just so authentic. What's even more amazing? The backgrounds.

I feel so much more immersed.

>>1562206
http://unibios.free.fr/whatisit.html

>The ability to quickly and easily change operation from MVS to AES.

>The ability to quickly and easily change country region (great for games that disable blood under USA region)

>Jukebox player where one can listen to game music without sound FX from gameplay over the top

>GGS
>he closes the game

how do I not feel ;_;

>>1562295
a lot of people on ggpo are fairly serious about their games and that can make them kind of douchey to beginners.

that shit happens to me all the time

>>1562295
2 options

GIT GUD

or

Hire someone to kill his family and/or break his arms

>>1562304
I thought I was having sportsmanship. I didn't really mind losing, I just wanted to play.

>>1562306
But how do git gud if people from my country snob me and don't even give me the chance to learn their patterns

>>1562306
>Hire someone to kill his family and/or break his arms

Reminded me of this:

>>1562206
>Due to people abusing the Universe Bios terms of use the latest version will not be available for download. The free version will be one release version behind.
>no$gba tier bullshit

So, where can I download the latest version?

I remember back when this was called "X-Men vs. Street Fighter Online".

>>1562632
does it work well? 60fps?

>>1562635
pls

Wine runs programs faster than they would be if they were native Linux programs

FBA uses some seriously outdated shit like directx7, so it's well-supported

>>1562635
works perfectly for me, and my laptop is ~6 years old. Excepting lag-related frameskips, fps doesn't waiver much, if at all. I've played it on a friend's windows machine, too, and there was no perceptible difference.

>>1562642
>Wine runs programs faster than they would be if they were native Linux programs

That would require serious substantiation. But yes, the wine overhead isn't bad.

>>1562650

>>1562660
>evidence for one program is evidence for all programs

>>1562661
yes

>>1562662
>article from 2009
>specifically states it has to do with javascript optimization

Honestly this is completely irrelevant. It runs faster in wine because windows had a faster javascript implementation five years ago. That doesn't mean that wine runs code faster or really say anything about wine's efficiency at all. It's purely a reflection on firefox and javascript across platforms.

It does not follow that something else would run faster in wine than if it were native.

king of fighters2002 anyone?

>>1563021
whats your username? I'm already in the lobby. i'm really fucking bad though

>>1563026
marclar619, gimme 1 min

>>1563042
cool. I'm drworm

>>1563046
cool, send me a challenge i cant see you

GGs man. dunno if you got my IMs.

>>1563046
i dunno if the chat was working but i have to go now, its like 5AM, ill play some more tomorrow.

>>1562198
Mahn, I wish I knew how to loose with Eagle.

>>1562295
I think Oro and Urien have infinities in the arcade version. This is why I only use PS2 or Dreamcast versions in my tourneys.

>>1562518
Oh damn, I remember my computer at the time had trouble with anything flash or shockwave based and that included this game

Going to try it now

How does one git gud at these games? They're so intimidating.

>>1563361
Basically just practice and play them a lot. Google the shoryuken wiki. Ask people who beat you for advice about what you're doing wrong and how you can improve.

Fighting games honestly take a lot of time committment, but they are also really addictive once you really start getting in to the deeper side of things. Few genres can beat the rush and satisfaction of finally improving enough to beat a guy who has been stomping you for weeks or more.

>>1563361
you're going to lose. A LOT. you just practice. learn what made you lose. practice. ask for advice. practice. learn matchups. practice.


oh and practice. you learn more from actually playing the game than watching. TRUST ME!

>>1562264

Stop; it hurts too much.

mark of the wolves has such nice animation

>>1563324
Yep. Urien's bearable, but Oro is a huge faggot with those cross-ups holy shit. I couldn't do anything.

>>1563982
garou had many nice things. I LOVED the character portraits. I wish SNK still did their portraits in that style

>>1564963
>>1563982
Garou was a beautiful game with good controls and a surprisingly well-made cast (albeit fairly small).

It has some problems that come in at more high levels, though, where just-defends make some stuff ridiculous, and the character balance starts to break down. Kevin is pretty ridiculous when played by a good player. I think partly due to that Garou just never got a strong competitive community, and as annoying as it is, fighting games seem to need one in order to stay afloat. WIthout the diehards, there just isn't much to build a community around...

I'd still love to play Garou with people, though.

>>1565342
So, why is Last Blade dead?

>>1565374
Good question. I've been trying to figure that out myself. I'm not well enough acquainted to say if it has some kind of deep flaw or if it was just unpopular.

I mean, I love the Samurai Shodown series, too, but it is all but unplayed these days also. Maybe people just don't like weapon-based 2d fighters these days. Or maybe they just weren't popular enough outside of Japan.

A lot of these old SNK games seem to be pretty well played by French people, though. Strangely enough.

Anyone up for some Twinkle Star Sprites?!

>>1565374

>you will never be THIS based
>even if you do become that based, nobody will ever witness it

>>1565413
power combos are so hard, too. ;-;7

>>1565413
Actually this video kind of brings up a good point. Maybe Last Blade 2 never got that popular because it actually has a deceptively steep learning curve and skill gap is very apparent in that game.

>>1565416
>>1565413

she is now my waifu

>>1565431
The shoryuken wiki character pages are empty and the forum links are dead. I can't learn this game like this.

>>1565439
Gamefaqs has some stuff.

If you like last blade 2, though, try Samurai Shodown 5sp. There's lots of info for it on the mizuumi wiki. please? I need people to play it with ;-;

>>1565448
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YggvBQ4uSPc
>samurai shodown 5 special
>not the best game ever

>>1565448
Everyone's telling me to play Samurai Shodown. Do people actually play it?

>>1565456
It's Yagawa's favorite fighting game.

>>1565342
A lot of fighting games fall apart in high level play though. Especially games like third strike and garou. But they are the most fun in the middle level.

>>1565456
Not many people play it on ggpo, but maybe we can form a /vr/ community for it. It really is a pretty good game, and it's fairly beginner-friendly (i.e. pretty balanced, easy inputs, short/easy combos) and in my opinion pretty exciting and cinematic-feeling. At the same time it has quite a bit of depth for players who want that.

I love it, personally.

>>1565465
Playing against high level dudes suck when you're not at the same level. It's best when we're all just some average guys who win some ad lose some.

Any game is fun that way.

anyone want to play a game?

anyone still round im up for pretty much anything

>>1565602
sure nubi give me a minute I think I might go grab more beer. Nothing like alcohol and fighting games.

>>1565624
cool ggpo name and anything in particular you want to play?

>>1565637
Okay. I got beer. My ggpo name is ApolloCreed. I'll play anything, but if you have no particular preference, this thread has put me in the mood for Samurai Shodown V Special. I'm amenable to anything though if you don't like samsho.

>>1565707
all right give me a sec to download it then ill be in the room

>>1565721
okay

>>1565624
sorry nubi. :<

>>1565785
Don't worry about it lol

>>1565804
I changed my port info if you want to try again.

I just played a set of 3s so I should be good.

I'll play anyone at any game, though. Just let me know. I'm in Oregon.

>>1565884
no interest?

>>1566162
>3 hours ago
he's gone jim.

>>1566165
Nah, I'm not waiting for him. Just thought someone might want to play, which is why I said I'll play anyone at any game.

>>1566170
I see I see. well 3S is really wonky on GGPO. What other games you play?

>>1566172
Any, like I said. I've play most games on ggpo at least once. I don't care whether I'm good at them or not. I'll lose 100 rounds in a row if I have to. I just like playing.

>>1566176
how do you feel about garou? I kinda have been feeling like I want to play that

>>1566184
it's fine. What's your ggpo name? We can play.

>>1566195
It's dr worm. gimme a sec to get on. I gotta get my stick

>>1566196
okay I'm in the lobby

>>1566205
getting on now. sorry that took so tong. toasted is high and was giving me mangas to read lol

>>1566205
hey if you ever wanna play some more feel free to add me on steam and ask. I'm friends with a bunch of trips from /fgg/ so it shouldnt be hard to find me if you're friends with one. I'm Dr Worm on there as well

>>1566206
good games, dr worm.

>>1566264
Oh, I don't usually use steam. I don't play anything on there so I never have it running. I guess maybe I'll add you anyway, but I don't have any fighting games or whatever on steam.

>>1566267
I own skullgirls on steam but I also own AE. I use steam mostly for messaging other people or groups like kore wa melty for melty blood matches.

Just got finished playing games for the night but I play a lot of old games and am on ggpo pretty much all day. My main game is super turbo.

>>1566321
hi pisss

>>1566324
Sup, Dr worm told me about this thread. Trying to figure out what the fuck I'm doing in mvc2.

>>1566327
Well, I think I fixed my stick at least. I've always been really, really bad at marvel games, but if you want to play MvC1 sometime I'd try it out.

>>1566327
How are you playing mvc 2?

>>1566334
PSN but you can also play it on Demul netplay (not sure about the quality.)

>>1566332
How did you fix your stick? I'm horrible at marvel games too. I've been bothering luvcheez and mystic with questions about what to do/when to call assists/which team to use.

My strategy so far is:

Hold up back and spam gun shots with cable until one connects and then go into air hyper viper beam.

Call Doom assist (chip damage) if they're on the other side of the screen or I want to go in.

Call Commando assist if they are trying to attack me.

>>1566335
Oh, nice. I missed out on getting it on PSN. I have it on XBLA but I hate paying for gold. That and the xbox I currently have with my is dead as nails. My stick doesn't work for PS3 so I'm hesitant to buy anything for it. I feel like demul netplay would be really shitty especially for a game like marvel 2 or something. I dunno.

I thought you didn't play marvel? Did you recently take it up? I like Marvel 2 as a fun party game. It could just be nostalgia though.

I play some mixture of doom, cable, tron bonne, and hulk. Tron is almost always in there though.

>>1566335
Just opened it up. A wire got knocked a little loose apparently.

Yeah, I don't think Marvel's for me. I just never really liked it that much.

>>1566340
I am not really that serious about it I just like learning random games for fun and getting somewhat decent at them.

>>1566341
Hmm that's strange glad to hear you fixed it though.

>>1566346
Yeah I never saw Marvel 2 as a game to be serious about. It's just fun to learn and play as you go. I wish Marvel 3 was released on PC before capcom lost the rights to it. Ah well.

I should make one of those mains pictures. I saw someone post a custom one once that I really liked.

marclar619 here, anyone on?
ill play anything

>>1566537
If you're still here I'll play ST. Name is PISSS.

>>1566570
hopefully this thread (or similar) will catch on here on /vr/, and we can have a fighting game thread where people actually play games. So far I'd say it's been pretty successful.

>>1566621
That'd be nice. I usually go to the /vg/ general but everyone there just plays AE which I'm not really a fan of.

>>1566570
ill head on now in a minute, i really suck at ST though, be ready to body me

>>1566808
if you're here, that is.

>>1566814
I am, be right there.

>>1566841
cool, just gotta config the controller

>>1566863
gg man, sorry the roll back was just pretty bad.

>>1566901
yeah my wireless isn't great and it doesnt help that im in ireland , had fun still

Anyone want to play garou? trying to learn that game.

>>1566951
Yeah good games man. That is a long hard road playing cammy.

Is there a way to play a Guilty Gear online without playing the shitty PC port of XX?

>>1566964
ill play you in like 30 mins?

put your ggpo names in the namefield, guys, at least when you're talking about matchmatcking.

ggs marclar

Just stopping by to ask this: Is the Vampire Savior still crowded with players?

Last time I went there was a couple of years ago and I don't know if there are people still playing it on GGPO or everybody moved to another place.

>>1567178
crowded? no. There is a half-decent community of regular players, though.

Anybody want to play for a bit?

I'm down to play any game.

>>1567178
I play it.

>>1567096
guess ill trip in these threads or something.

made this, might do a CVS2 themed one next anyone got ideas?

>>1567178
Vsav is probably my favorite game on GGPO.

I'll play whoever wants to in vsav give me a few minutes. I am not that good but I know the basics.

>>1567227
Looks good. Not sure about a CvS2 one, though. As much as I like that game, it isn't on ggpo. I've heard you can play it with demul, but I'm not sure how good that is.

Has anyone tried it?

>>1567227
It has some weird black boxes a different color than the background...

>>1567251
really ? you must have a good monitor, I cant see anything.
how's it now?

Much better.

>>1567236
give me about 30 min and ill play some savior

>>1567279
oops

>>1567282
shit, i need some sleep

I'm sitting in Europe and the whole party seems to be in the Americas from what I can see. Shit.

>>1567298
I don't know, there's been at least a couple people from the UK, one from Ireland, one from Germany, etc, in this thread. Plenty of Europeans play on GGPO regularly, too. I often notice French flags especially.

>>1567318

Guess I have to be a bit more patient then. Would be really nice to play a few rounds KoF or SFA2. Maybe tomorrow.

>>1567348
well post your ggpo name and where you're from. Then people looking for matches near you will at least know you're nearby and that you want to play.

>>1567348
Im from the UK and am up for some games on Alpha

>>1567280
That's fine I'm eating now any way.

You still here nubi?

>>1567430
yeah still here

>>1567443
ready whenever you are

>>1567449
Im in the vsav room

>>1567451
gg nubi

>>1567536
ggs

Not really sure how to react to that IAD pressure.

>>1567547
Does nubi play Q-bee?

>>1567547
The DP was working quite well, normally im more aggressive but i had to respect it all the time.

>>1567556
I play Qbee, Sas and Victor.

Qbee is the most fun though.

Is anybody playing right now?

>>1567560
I need to stop fucking mashing the dp. I don't know what to do until I get the knockdown so I keep mashing dp like an idiot. I'm still having trouble landing the bite super.

>>1567571
I'm not right now but I wouldn't mind playing a few. What do you want to play, and where are you located (for determining possible lag)?

>>1567571
im still in the vsav room but im up for anything

>>1567580
West Coast

I'm somewhat warmed up for Street Fighter 3 but I'm open for KoF 2000, Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and Samurai Showdown V Special

>>1567597
Okay give me two minutes and I'll be in the samsho room.

I'll be in IRC in the event that thread goes down

who is the best st player here i need to practice because

i'm rusty

i keep losing connection to GGPO

MAMEHub is a great emulator for playing literally anything that can be emulated.

Streaming a game on Twitch right now (6 players KoF98):

http://www.twitch tv/holocaustneveroccured

>>1567728
fuck I love mamehub I haven't been on in over a year reinstalling right now! I beat konami aliens on there and had many many good times.

>>1567610
GG

>>1567795
ggs man, thanks for playing with me. If you're around tomorrow just post, and I should be available to play.

glad someone is willing to play so many games and not JUST street fighter. I'm fine with street fighter but I like a lot of variety.

>>1567797
>>1567795
P.S. try Breaker's Revenge.

It's like "what if ST was an SNK game"

>>1567808
ST?

>>1567809
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.

Unless you were asking if I wanted to play. In which case "yes what is your ggpo name?"

Anyone still playing anything?

>>1567819
nubi, want to try again? Name the game and we'll see if it connects this time.

>>1567820
Garou?

>>1567821
I'm in the room

is someone here wanting to play some sfa3?

>>1567827
ill play if i cant connect to apollo

>>1567827
whats your GGPO name?

>>1567827
I'll probably spectate since it isn't connecting to nubi and he called it first, but I'll play you later if you want. I know literally nothing about sfa3 though.

>>1567831

In the meantime I'll play anyone whatever they want on ggpo

sorry for being such a sourpus or whatever. Marvel basically just embodies everything I'm bad at in fighting games so it's unusually frustrating for me. Maybe that means I should put that much more effort in to learning it, so I can even out my weak points as a player.

>>1567914
It's a pretty retarded game and it's very broken. Mystic and luvcheez from fgg told me how to do some stuff.

Basically all I was doing:

wolverine cr lk, cr mk, cr fp xx super
psylocke xx super
do the orbs with strider lock them down in the corner and use psylocke to keep them there

your meter fills up as you do that so you can repeat the lockdown and it does chip

That's really all I know how to do.

>>1567919
Yeah, I was just being a whiny little bitch. I have bad memories from my childhood in the Virgin Islands getting stomped in to the ground at Marvel and getting laughed out of the arcade. Arcades are a big fucking deal in the Caribbean, and that shit sticks with you.

Anyway, I've only ever played it once or twice with anyone who wasn't a fairly high-level player, so I know literally nothing about that game. I guess I need to learn.

It just seems so ridiculous. Three blocked attacks equals a full super meter so you were literally doing that wolverine combo raw from the start of the round. I just don't get it.

I guess maybe I'll try to learn at least my moves and some basic combos and then we can play again. Like I said, I should probably put the effort in because that game is literally about everything that I'm not good at as a fighting game player.

>>1567924
The chains are not really that unsafe so you can just mash them out and if they connect go into super. There are also a bunch of infinites but I don't know how to do them.

I just play the game for fun, it's pretty silly (obviously.)

>>1567928
yeah, I just need to work on it.

Give me a few and I'm down to play something else if you want.

>>1567940
I think I am done for today. Might do some training mode bs but that's about it.

>>1567959
Okay. Maybe tomorrow then.

>>1567808
I'm familiar with that game, ran into it on KAWAKS a few times I think.

>>1567962
Yeah we can play st or something.

yo, anyone on ?
ill play anything

>>1568551
ggpo name?

>>1568569
marclar619, hence the tripfag

>>1568576
Hey its nubi Lets try KoF02, im about as new as i can get at that game

>>1568590
cool gimme 5mins, gotta make some coffee first

>mfw no king in kof02

>>1568595
We can play one of the other KoF games if you want, outside of Garou its all new to me anyway.

I want to use this program specifically for Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness and Vampire Savior. But sadly, the damned thing never even does anything when I got it on the boot screen and try to log in. Mednafen doesn't work either, so I'm starting to be convinced that my router is haunted. CSMame works like a charm, but nobody uses that.

>>1568610
up for some KOF2000 then??

also fuck number captchas

>>1568620
sure

>>1568616
>Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness
Oh shit forgot about that game

>>1568620
>>1568625
1st timers in KoF2000?

>>1568669
i play it most weekends with my m8s when theyre drinking in my house but i never really played it online competitively

was that you spectating ?

gg nubi

>>1568669
It was my first time yeah.

this might help

>>1568690
Any charge characters in KoF, i really like Kain from Garou if anyone plays remotely anything like him.

Also anyone that leaves anything on screen (Like Aegis or Yoga Catastrophie) i love that shit.

back now

>>1568724
in the 2000 room

>>1568728
aight

>>1568709
Leona and Robert are chargers in KoF 2000. Too cumbersome for my level. I think Ash can leave a projectile that stays for a couple of seconds, or at least in MUGEN.

Anyway we can work on cataloging how many players from /vr/ play which games?

I'm interested in how many vsav players we have here. While vsav is my main game I'll play pretty much anything though (including Unsupported stuff).

Also if anyone is new to fighting games, looking at this, and wanting to learn how to play, I recommend playing Breakers Revenge. I think Breakers is by far the best fighting game to get people acquainted with fighting game mechanics. The inputs are easy, the combos are easy, the game is simple. At a high level of play it gets a bit boring (Sho everywhere) but it's great to learn the ropes on.

>>1568840
I play Vsav, Garou, ST, 3S, Alpha 3, Xcota and very recently started playing JoJos, but im down for pretty much anything on GGPO

>>1568840
In terms of games I have at least a little competence in, I play samsho II/vsp, ST, 3s, Garou, Breaker's, and maybe KoF98/02. I dabble in vsav and last blade 2 but I'm not comfortable with any characters. I could play some marvel games but I know nothing about them really. I also don't know anything about the SFA series but I'd try them out.

>>1568840
KoF 2000

>>1568809
>I think Ash can leave a projectile that stays for a couple of seconds, or at least in MUGEN.

He can do that in the actual games.

By the way, I'll have to dust my stick off and join you guys for KoF 2000 sometime.

im back, i wanna play one of the marvel x sf/capcom games

>>1568840
>I recommend playing Breakers Revenge
Thanks. I was wondering where a good place to start was (outside of being out of my depth on some other ones).

im in the vsav room if anyone wants to play

>>1568974
how does it play?

>>1568983
its a fast paced game, somewhat reminiscent of marvel without the long air combos

>>1568985
ill give it a go

>>1568995
oh wait this is just darkstalkers is it not?

>>1569007
Yes
Vampire = Darkstalkers
Vampire Hunter = Darkstalkers 2
Vampire Savior = Darkstalkers 3

>>1568840
Super Turbo
Hyper Fighting
Hyper sf2
Alpha 2
Vampire Savior
Marvel vs Capcom 1/2
KoF 13
Jojo
Waku Waku 7
Gem Fighter Mini Mix
Magical Drop III
Windjammers
Puzzle Fighter

>>1569028
Darkstalkers 2 should actually be Night Warriors, but this is pretty much correct.

Also if anyone has any questions about Vampire Savior I'm happy to answer them.

The mizuumi wiki (http://wiki.mizuumi.net/w/Vampire_Savior)) is the best resource for players looking to get into vsav, but the vsav section on Dustloop is also great to look through.

Anyone play Karnovs?

>>1569196
Are you hildr?

>>1569202
yeah

>>1569230
Glad you're here. I'm still figuring out Demitri. Mostly trying to figure out how to stop people from mashing on wake up so I can land the bite super more often.

>just trying to practice cammy
>not very high ranked, C or whatever
>get people ranked A
I sure do love not having a chance with a character I'm practicing online

>>1569261
One of the harder things about the game is learning all the meaty timings.

Once you have that down, preventing people from mashing gets much easier.

Training your opponents to fear a meaty is how you get bite supers.

>>1569196
Man i had some french guy bitch and whine at me none stop for playing Qbee while he was playing Zabel, every time he lost he would cry and the match is actually in his favor, rev3 i think his name was.

>>1569305
That match is actually annoying for Zabel even though it's in his favor.

Mostly because he can't short short super qbee if she's crouching, so his damage output gets killed.

This is mostly a high level issue though, and I don't want to be rude, but I imagine that it wouldn't be super relevant. I'm just bringing it up because it's interesting.

>>1568968
Good God I'm awful, but this does feel better to play even if I'm getting nowhere.

>>1569321
Oh i wont pretend im good at the game lol, i played it for a long time casually but only recently started trying to get better at it, its difficult finding people to play especially since im from the UK.

Wow I normally use the mame training mode for ST but the cheats on ggpo FBA are trash. If I change p2 to have infinite health it makes it so that it never goes into hit stun. So for example I can just hit it and it just stands there unless the move knocks down.

Never using this again.

>>1569364
Cant you just emulate a console version and use a real training room?

>>1569375
I'd just rather use the same version as the one I'm playing on ggpo. There are differences in input delay and some other things.

Mame works fine. You just go to enable cheats, turn on inf time, infinite health, and infinite super. I was just using ggpo fba for mvc1 training and started messing around with st on it.

>>1569360
yeah finding people in the UK area is going to be rough

most of the players are in NA

>>1569270
ranks? Are you talking about AE? That doesn't really belong here...

>>1569028
>>1569196
They were really inconsistent with the series' naming outside of Japan, it gets confusing. First game is "Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors", second is "Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge", so if you just say "Night Warriors" sometimes people will think you're talking about the first game. Then the arcade release of the third game was "Vampire Savior" even outside of Japan for some reason. But then when its PS1 port came out, they called it "Darkstalkers 3".

Anyway, judging by all the stuff TKO is retweeting, it seems Vampire Hunter has been regaining some steam since the release of Darkstalkers Resurrection. Mikado's going to have a tournament for it next week, and supposedly aftermarket prices on the original arcade boards are going up due to increased demand.

I wanna git good at ST, but so far it's the hardest fighting game I've tried.

>>1569546
ST is simple as hell, it's all just fundamentals with some gimmicks thrown in. First of all, I'd pick someone other than cammy because she is the worst character in the game.

The core of the game is really just controlling space with projectiles/normals, anti airing people that jump, punishing whiffed pokes/playing footsies etc. It's really barebones and is the foundation for a lot of fighting games that followed.

>>1569564
thanks for the help, its sort of hard to get any info at all from the /vg/ threads

>>1569587
Most of those people know nothing about ST and never played a fighter before sf4. Just look at the SRK wiki.

Just knowing your normals, anti air etc can take you pretty far. Don't worry about learning combos for a while.

>>1569598
I would add that it apparently seems essential to know your tick throw setups in ST, as the next step beyond normals/anti-airs/etc. Good tick throw and safejump setups take you way farther in ST than combos do.

>>1569605
Yeah, tick throws are pretty godly online especially. The way I first learned them was just walk up or jump in short into throw.

One really important thing to learn is to do 1 frame reversals or people will just tick throw you all day.

>>1569607
is the trick to 1f reversals to piano the inputs?

>>1569609
You can if you want to. I just learned the timing of doing it on my first frame waking up/coming out of blockstun/hitstun whatever. ST has negative edge so if you release the button quickly after pressing it you get two chances.

I'm down to play some ST.

>>1569609
that depends on the character

some characters (like Fei) can't piano their reversals because only one of them is worth doing (short dp) and you really don't want to get any other version

you can also input a throw on the same frame which results in a 50/50 chance to throw or get thrown

of course that only works for normal throws, command throws wont work this way and you have to reversal those

but sometimes that doesn't even work, for example Hawks "infinite" which involves a bunch of option selects to avoid reversals

>>1569725
You still around?

I'll play for a bit.

I'm pretty shitty at ST but I'd like to get better.

>>1569752
Still here.

I'm in the ST lobby now.

>>1569757
my username is hildr

just been readking the SRK wiki for ST, I have a lot of respect for the people that can learn all this and play at a really high level, there's a lot more to fighting games than it would seem

>>1569757
ggs dood, my food is done cooking

I'll be back later though if you want to keep going

also were you getting some sick spikes the whole time?

I didn't want to say anything because it might come out like I was mad about losing, but I'm just wondering if iit was happening on your end too

ggs

>>1569858
welcome to the wide world of fighting games, friend. That's why we keep playing.

>>1569757
who do you play, shamwow?

>>1569763
It was happening on my end too. My sis is probably on netflix.

Fun games man, I can play again later.

>>1569870
I'm really only decent with dhalsim. I suck with everybody else. It took many months of being served on ggpo to get decent with him.

alpha 3 anyone ?
i wonder why there's so much more people on alpha 3 than the other 2 , i thought it was "broken" ?

>>1569889
I'll play, I'm very bad though.

>>1569889
ill play alpha 3

>>1569858
I wrote some of the guile stuff on there. I am not a top player or any thing but no one else wanted to do it so I figured better than nothing.

>>1569916
awesome, thats pretty cool.

>>1569902
>>1569896
winner stays on?
sorry about the connection

>>1569920
Wish GGPO had rotating rooms like kaillera did

>>1569931
If we had an even number of players, we could always do rotating sets. Like if you have four people, then each pair plays a first to five or whatever you want, and then losers play and winners play. You could do a loop like that for a while. It might be a fun way to get some variety in there.

ne1 up for a sfa3 match?

DrMachete here

>>1569968
Hi I'll play with you, I was just playing A3 with nubi and marclar earlier.

nice to have people to play with.
gg, goys.

>>1570040
ggs man, its been a long time since i played Alpha 3, trying to remember v-ism stuff lol

>>1570040
>goys

I think you mean "Goyim".

>>1570051

>>1569975
ggs bro

does anyone have the SF2HF guide that was hosted on megaupload and sendspace a bunch of years ago, I lost it when I formatted my hard drive a while ago and it's basically the only fighting game I play and I've been playing new characters and want to read up on Old Shit

it was called like SF2 Hyper Fighting Character Guides Dizzy System.txt or something

>>1569968
ggs!

your ken is pretty tough, that air hurricane kick beats everything lol.

Anyone still playing anything?

>>1570076
I'll play you in hf on supercade later tonight. I'm about to play this dude in marvel.

>>1570082
I can still play, let me know what you want to play.

>>1570090
you play vampire savior?

>>1570094
Don't know much but I'll play.

>>1570085
do you play ss5sp yet

>>1570109
No I don't NIGHTS.

Gonna be on for one or two matches.

ggs nubi

VS is pretty fun. Sorry about the shoto scrub tactics there with Demitri lol.

>>1570191
ggs, its all cool.

i cant sleep so i made another thing

>>1570221
That looks prety rad

>>1570221
that's awesome

I know it's a weeknight, but is nobody up for at least one match?

>>1570239
I'm too tired I've already played at least 4 hours today. Maybe later on tonight I don't know.

>>1570246
Can't later tonight. I should have gotten on earlier. I'll try again tomorrow. just wanted to squeez one in before hitting the hay.

>>1570239
I'm up for a few more matches of sfa3

>>1570251
Ok, I'll be in lobby :D

im still around if people want to play

pisss aside, any samurai shodown 5 special players here? it aged extremely well for a traditional fighter and anyone can be played competitively.

here are some helpful links:

http://wiki.mizuumi.net/w/Samurai_Shodown_V_Special

>>1570262
apollo creed plays it

i can get neinhalt to play you again if you want

>>1570262
Pisss is correct. I play it and love it. If this is NiGHTS then we've briefly talked about it before. I often play Gaoh.

Unfortunately, I can't play right now. I'd love a match later tonight or tomorrow, though. even if basara is annoying as fuck

>>1570251
That was fun

>>1570273
yes man ggs! hope to play with you again sometime

>>1570264
neonhalt was a lot of fun, but im just seeing if anyone here plays it atm. dropped /fgg/ because its going to be /sf4/ general till the end of time at this rate

>>1570270
were you the guy that mentioned trying to get more people to play it? its 1am here but I'd like to play you tomorrow/whenever

>>1570283
Yeah, I know what you mean. I was thinking about starting a ggpo general a while back, I just didn't think anyone would be interested.

>>1570283
Yeah, I mentioned it to you in a recent /fgg/ thread. I just think it's a really great game that gets overlooked and passed over. I feel like its dissimilarities with other fighting games mean that people experienced in other games often come to it and don't really click with it because it isn't really what a SF or KoF player would expect, really.

I'd really like to at least get four or five players interested in playing it semi-regularly as a side game.

>>1570284
I really like this thread here. I think it fits /vr/ a little better, and has really been a pretty pleasant thread in general.

yo anyone wanna play some ST? I'm fairly new to Street fighter in general and want to give Zangief a shot in that game.

>>1570317

Forgot to add, I don't mind getting stomped so it's cool if I go 25-0 or something

>>1570319
ill play im not very good myself

>>1570323
Having problems connecting, let me try restarting GGPO

>>1570331
wierd, its saying connected but its stuck on the start screen

>>1570332

I'm just getting connecting to server for like, forever

odd dont understand why it wont connect, iv been playing people all night

>>1570343

For some reason my internet has AIDS and GGPO wants to fuck up. Sorry man.

>>1570345
The same thing happens to me when I try to play nubi. No idea why.

make sure ports are open

i'll play st for a little bit

Actually I think I"m just going to relax for the rest of the night. I'll play whoever tomorrow.

>>1565407
Get on mamehub and I'll play you.

anyone want to try cvs2 ? I read there's a way to do it with demul emulator and the NAOMI rom.

>>1571106
I'll try to set it up. I haven't played cvs2 but it seems really fun.

>>1571106
let me know how this turns out because i want to try that demul with mvc2

>>1571106
>>1571518
>>1571580
Demul netplay is Kaillera. Just saiyan.

As bad as Kaillera is (it's not p2p), maybe we should get an official /vr/ server going, since Mamehub doesn't seem to be all that popular.

>>1571580
Can't get it to work, but I'm using linux, so that doesn't really mean anything for whether you could get it to work or not.

Anyone watching 2 old 2 furious tonight?

>>1571601
I have it working as far as the emulator goes, just didn't know the netplay was kaillera. Some of those naomi games are a little too memory intensive for my shitty computer though.

>>1571606
Definitely, I always watch it.

>>1571606
No. Didn't even know what it was.

Do you guys think we should leave streamstuff out of this thread, or should it be okay for old games?

>>1571615
fine for old games imo

>>1571615
just as long as the thread stays about playing games and not about stream circlejerks. Basically just as long as it doesn't devolve in to /fgg/

>>1571646
soon as you start allowing streams, you begin to pull in people who don't even play and watch streams all day. its best to just keep this as a netplay matchup thread.

Anyone want to play games that aren't on GGPO?

Real Bout: Fatal Fury comes to mind. And, Twinkle Star Sprites, Neo-Geo Cup 98.

>>1571883
I play Twinkle Star Sprites all the time on MAMEHub.

Twinkle Star Sprites stream: http://www.hitbox.tv/MAMEHub

Streaming games on MAMEHub in general

>>1571883
only one of those is a fighting game, though

>>1571963
I'm aware of that. Maybe one of the older Street Fighter games, or one of the Alphas. I don't know because I don't have a list in front of me.

>>1571821
I don't think there are enough streams of old games to really attract the stream jackasses like there is with mvc3/sf4 etc.

I would really like playing and discussing games to be the dominant thing in this thread though. fgg is pretty awful with how much "top player drama" and shit like that it has.

Okay let's play ST.

>>1573264
Super Turbo? Ok.

>>1573267
Oh shit, I forgot I formatted so give me some time to setup.

>>1573267
Yep.

I'd be up for a couple games, too, if anyone else wants to play.

>>1573268
How long are you thinking? should I just play apollo creed first?

>>1573273
Go for it, I'll take this opportunity to just get all of the roms setup.

>>1573274
Okay.

see me in st apollo creed

Well I guess whenever either are you ready let me know.

>>1573278
I'm all set

I'll be playing SF3

I always wanted to download ggpo but avast keeps telling me that there is a virus and whatever when I try to download the installer. Seeing that a lot of people play there makes me think that probably wouldn't be really a problem but I'm too much of a beta to try.

>avast
there's your problem. uninstall that shit and install MSE and malwarebytes

So I guess is safe?. Not that I'm doubting a program used for thousands to play fighting games, but I'm not that much knowledgeable in the matter and only wanted to be sure before installing.
