I remember they had one on a massive projector screen at an arcade in Lower Hutt. It was pretty bad! This was about 15 years ago now lol.

Sorry to dredge up this old thread but I'd thought I'd mention that I finally came across a working SF2HF machine in Wellington.
It's in the Laser Strike place on Tory St (Behind the Warehouse).

If anyone's up for some old school challenges then hit me up. 

I had a few games today against a mate of mine who told me he was really good.  I destroyed him 13 games to 2 LOL

Did he used to play Tekken and say that him and a friend were always so good that they could never hit eachother?

Funnily enough I've met at least 3 people who've said that.

Hahaha I've had a friend at uni who said he was sooo good that he stopped playing Tekken because his group of friends couldn't touch him. From what he said I could tell he's a "10-String" combo player so I MM him and perfected him every round except for 1  ;D

Dunno I never really played Tekken.  I only really ever played SF2HF which I consider to be the greatest fighting game ever.
I am an old man now and my hyper fighter skills were grafted 20 odd years ago.....but I still got it.

Come up to akl for the HF tourney in dec if you want to show people (including yourself) what you've got :)
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: bigmal on November 08, 2010, 09:10:42 PM
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  :D

But if you got GGPO up and running I'm more than happy to have a few games with you at HF online  :)
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: bigmal on November 08, 2010, 09:27:52 PM
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?
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: Nick4now on November 08, 2010, 09:42:04 PM
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.
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: bigmal on November 08, 2010, 09:48:52 PM
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.........
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: Nick4now on November 09, 2010, 12:40:31 PM
Since you have a PS3 I'm assuming you have a PS3 pad too? You can use that if you download the SIXAXIS driver (http://news.filefront.com/how-to-use-a-ps3-controller-on-a-pc/)  :)
Title: Re: Hyper Fighter in Wellington
Post by: bigmal on November 09, 2010, 01:57:23 PM
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?

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

Post by: bigmal on November 13, 2010, 09:54:40 PM
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.

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