Hyper Fighter in Wellington

[bigmal]

They still have HF tournies?  Man that would be awesome.  They never had tournies back in my day (well not in Upper Hutt anyway).

Sadly I can't travel to Aucks to play games, I have a family now.  However like I say if anyone in Welly is keen for a few games.

How often are the Auckland tournies?

Damn that sucks that you won't be able to make it bro. Redtie and I are planning on making the trip from Chch 

But if you got GGPO up and running I'm more than happy to have a few games with you at HF online 

[bigmal]

Cool I've never tried ggpo - what's it like?  I tried SFHF on PS3 but found the lag a pain.

I'm on a MAC but I'll create a win partition and boot into that to install ggpo.  I take it uses MAME roms?

[Nick4now]

Shitloads better than HDR on psn. I hate playing that online not just because of lag but the amount of times it DCs 

As for roms yep it takes MAME roms. You'll actually wanna get Hyper Street Fighter 2: Aniversary Edition (HSF2.zip) though because HF seems to screw up a lot on GGPO for some reason.

[bigmal]

Sweet I still have the full MAME rom set (used to have a cab) so that shouldn't be a prob.  Now for a controller.........

[Nick4now]

Since you have a PS3 I'm assuming you have a PS3 pad too? You can use that if you download the SIXAXIS driver 

[bigmal]

I do but I'm far too unco to use the PS3 pad for SF.  I saw a 6 button arcade controller on firstin the other day.  It's prob shyte but it was only $40 odd.

BTW what are the details for the Auck tournament?

NIck and Redtie coming up for the Xmas Damager^^?

[Nick4now]

Just booked my flight for the 10th of December  Just waiting on Redtie to book his too and then we'll register on the Xmas Damager thread.

Maybe go as Team "The Only Brownies in Chch"

Maybe go as Team "The Only Brownies in Chch"   

I remember the first time i went there i was like, "WTF?? Am i imagining this or what..?"

You know it's bad if a white guy like me notices.

Mac partitioned, GGPO installed with SF2HF anniversary edition.  Stink that it has to be anniversary edition, I prefer the original HF.

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

just both players pick hyper fighting charcters , speed 1 .

its pretty close

[bigmal]

Just played my first game of SF2HF (not anniversary edition) online using GGPO - fucking awesome!  Played an aussie and it was practically lag-free!

Now I need to invest in a stick.  I see a whole bunch of sticks on play-asia, can anyone recommend one for around the $100 mark?

Cheers.

[Nick4now]

Haha I knew you would be happy with GGPO  Even playing some Japanese players is practically lag-free
