i've been thinking on and off about ordering one for like... several years now, but just now actually decided to buy one.
i just hope the one i bought has the ability to play backups. i also need to hunt down some arcade sticks for it, since ill be playing some epic fighting games on it!! (if i can play backups that is)
Early launch ones did...you have to check the date on them, but it's been awhile so you'll have to dig (google) the info somewhere. Still have mine from 9-9-99 BABAY! Waited in the launch line and everything...now I just want to go play CvM 2. The song got stuck in my head just playing SF4...nooooo.

from what i can tell, the majority of the dreamcasts produced play backups just fine, so the chances of getting a good one from a random ebay/amazon order, are better than getting an unfriendly one.
the magic date is 100% before october of 2000, a good chunk in the oct-dec 2000 i think are good to play backups. if you get anything after, then your chances seem to drop quite a bit.
even if its not one, i can always try again! though next time ill ask (its not liek dreamcasts are a rare thing. i think there's near 100 on amazon)
LOL, you bet!
Damnit Gamestop is *really* pissing me off...I can't get them to get my damn fightpad for my win, and the next Round for the state finals is this weekend! I had them email the DM and the Regional Manager, and he said that they didn't think a stick came with this win. Duh, it's the PAD, not the stick, so he has to email him back again. My...blood...is...boiling!

The list is full I believe so its really hard to find some one :\.
God damn, I would be so pissed.
If you don't get one, maybe someone at the tournament would be nice enough to lend you theirs for your match. I'm sure they can all relate to Gamestop's idiocity.
So if you want to fight a hilarious C. Viper or an incredibly boring Cammy add me!
i think gamestop has to provide the shit that is going to be used. if you let people bring their own shit they might bring some crazy stick/pad that has macro's built in.
This is from UltraDavid, a regular SRKer and tourney player about Balrog's wake-up weaknesses:
So if you have boxer knocked down, don't do any cross up on him since that's the ez escape mode for him. He actually has crappy wake-up options that can be punished easily.

Have you tried blocking? Block the jump kick, block the inevitable sweep kick followup, then hit him with a jab spinning piledriver.
Maybe lariat and move backwards? So he hits your hands instead of your head? I don't know, Gief rocks my shit everytime.

I came home today and got lo' and behold my Mad Catz Tournament Edition Arcade Stick has arrived! After a few minutes of playing, I'm totally sold on it. I'll give you an example:
You know how much better you got when you switched from the Xbox pad to the fightpad? You get that much better again when you go from the fightpad to the TE Stick.
Long story short, if you're serious about SF or arcade style games in general, snap it up. It's worth the money and can always be flipped on Ebay later for mad profit.

Gouken is easy. Here's what I did.
1. Set to easiest, 1 round matches.
2. hcb fireball spam fight one. You'll rack up 1x First Strike and 1x Perfect.
3. Fights two and three, hit with a fireball for First Strike, then let the cpu hit you until Ultra is ready. Back off and fireball spam until they're low, then move in and lp > lp > back > lk > hp (quickly). You should now be at 3x First Strikes, 2x Ultra Wins, and 1x Perfect.
4. Fireball spam the next two matches to get your 4th and 5th First Strikes. All conditions met.
5. Cheeze out with fireballs until Seth, then Sweep, Sweep, Sweep, right as he's getting up.
6. Do the same to Gouken, party on.

side note: I made a reference to the karate kid, you know the sweep the leg thing, to my wife. who had no idea. I posed the question "you have seen the movie right" she said "oh yea of course the one with the girl and the Asian guy and she learns karate" I fucking face palmed so hard I wanted to face palm her too.
A hulk's power is jumping.
I"m still TRYING to get my FREE one I rightfully won in the tourney! ARGHHHHHHHH

I'm pretty sure C. MP works, or a late PPP Lariat. C. MP Works against Kens.
Very good matches TheUnsane, especially considering the lag that I was inducing. We definitely have to rematch another day when my internet is up to my average 4 bars.
Yeah your elf is waaaay better than 99.9% of the ranked ElFs Ive played (ive actually never lost a match against Fuerte with Abel or Sagat) so that was fun. Definitely explore your normals more since its easy to predict the run and jump or jump off the wall moves. I definitely Hate el fuertes ultra! lol It seems almost unavoidable and pretty high damaging. I love using falling sky as well versus el fuerte because the second youd run or jump off a wall it would work, lol.
*oh yeah and my mic was at a friends house, i wasnt trying to be anti-social! Till next time Fuerte

GG's as always. And yes play with PA peeps I may not talk usually (unless everyone is leaving me alone) but I'm always down to help whoever with whatever.
Yea it confuses me that my Elf is way better vs Sagat then my Abel, I get zoned way worse as Abel I guess and Elf has tons of movement options. I have a hard time thinking to use my focus attacks and things with him too (this will change once I get my modded stick or TE stick and I put time into learning the RSF
He wasn't that much against Shoryukens, as it turns out.
Well it really depends on the person but if you put the time in you should find a stick much more responsive and precision moves and timing should be easier to pull off. YMMV tho.
FUCK YEA EL Mother F'n Fuerte vs. 2052 rated Ryu = ElF 2-0
Abel will probably have an easier time going against Fuerte than Sagat. If Sagat doesn't have EX, he is easy to splash/fajita bustered/tortilla propeller'ed for Fuerte once knocked down.
Of course, if Sagat decides to do EX uppercut, Fuerte can just bait him easily as well.
I find Abel's wheelkick really effective against Fuerte that tries to bait Abel - really, really effective. Abel's rolls also helps to avoid some of Fuerte's wake-up shenanigans.
That reminds me - once I'm off work, I'll need some Abel players to play against so I can devise some sort of general strats against Abel.
For Fuerte against Sagat strats: the general strategy is:
1) wall-jump and baiting from wall-jump are your friends from a distance - stuffs fireball spamming Sagat as well as Sagat who wants to do fireball trap to uppercut/knee or f+HK.
2) Sagat without EX is too easy to do wake up shenanigans on - splashes beats uppercut/knees clean I think. Even a simple jumping fierce cross-up is good to use once Sagat is confused.
3) Once Sagat has EX meter, bait bait bait!
4) If cornered by Sagat, EX Guacamole throw is your friend! Always save EX meter for this! Cornering Fuerte is really the only way for Sagat to kill Fuerte effectively (and boy, is it effective!).

Your Abel was getting zoned? His roll to me is pretty much his anti-zone tool, which is why i like him. He can play keep away so damn easily.

Also how do I stop Dhalism as Zangief? I fought one earlier where he just backed into the corner, sent slow fireballs and low stretchy punched or high streatchy kick qhether or not I jumped or Lariated the fireball.

Doesn't Sagat's crouching LK zone Abel pretty easily from doing his rolls?
Wait, his EX roll has invincibility to hit, right?

PM me your GT, I can help you out with your game.
You only have to charge to level 2 - once you see the black outline come out when charging FA, that's lvl 2.
It's blockable, but on hit it will stun.
