    GG's tonight to Slayervin, Flashg03, Jonnybot, and Aumni. Not to sound rude, but I was getting a ton of static and echoing from Flashg03's microphone. Was anyone else experiencing this or was it just me?

    Slayervin - Sick Bison rushdown. Nothing else to say really.
    Flashg03 - Pretty darned good Gief. Nailing those SPD's on time.
    Jonnybot - Your Cammy was sharp, I only wished you pulled off more cannon drills for tick damage and pressure.
    Aumni - Take your Ryu back, I don't want him! :lol:

    Sorry about the snub, been waiting to play GOW2 for quite a while.

    Aunmi, I remember you saying somewhere you didn't think you were good. You've certainly proved yourself wrong.
    Dover, I can see why you won the last tourney.
    Jonny, you really started to shine later on in the night, then you left, jerk :P
    Flash, your Gief beat my Bison twice at the end of the night. I hate you.

    Yeah I had to get off. Wife wanted me to clean some stuff. Can't say no to her.

    Yeah, I apologize, but you'll rarely hear me on a headset either. I tend to play after I've put the dogs to bed, and at that point, my incessant street fighter babble tends to keep them awake. No offense to you guys!

    Thanks man! Definitely some great matches last night.

    It was odd when we'd get the infinite echo effect, probably why we weren't talking too much. :)

    Flash you have an excellent Zangief.
    Dover you just kept picking different characters and pulling out scary things.
    Jonny, you have helped instill a fear of Cammy that will be deeply rooted for time to come.

    So this thread is almost kaput. You gonna make the new one Folken, with all of Pogo's info? Here's the current tourney info if you want to get that added as well. If not, I'll at least try and jump into the 2nd spot on the thread to make it easier to find.

    -Double elimination tournament.
    -Each match is best 3 out of 5 rounds with a normal 99 second time limit.
    -In order to advance, the winner must win 2 out of 3 matches.
    -The winning player must keep the same character between matches, but the loser can opt to change.
    -New characters can be played at the start of a new round of the tournament.
    -This is an honor system for reporting who wins and loses.
    -Light hearted smack talk is highly encouraged.
    -Other non-players can spectate is approved by the two playing characters.
    -Have fun!

    Updated Entrants (5 spots still available!):
    1 - MNC Dover
    2 - Chamberlain
    3 - Folken Fanel
    4 - JonnyBot
    5 - RuffNite

    25 - pogo1250*
    26 - dav3yb
    27 - Materly

    The "*" mark means that I haven't received any of the PM information I requested. Send the following to me via PM:

    -Your PA forum name
    -Your XBL gamertag
    -What timezone you are in (east coast, west coast, or somewhere in between)
    -Your best availability to play (both time and days - ie. Weekend anytime or M-F after 5:00, etc)
    -Verification that you have already added PASFHDR as a friend (for ease of matching)

    I was thinking we could start this thing on next Monday due to all of the "out of town" requests for this weekend. Sound good?

    Oh, SlayerVin. Regarding what happened last night. I found what my problem was. I have my 360 setup on my pc desk, the stick I was using was kinda elevated. I moved it down to the keyboard tray and it made a world of difference. I was able to exert more control over motions.

    All that's left now is to mod my EX2 with a circular gate. 236 motions are such a pain in the ass with a square gate.

    Yeah there was definitely a marked difference in your playing. I figured you felt like kicking it into high gear once those chumps Dover and Aumni left. Kidding!

    You could have bought an SF4 arcade cabinet instead, so you made the fiscally sound choice.

    True, but tell that to the people without jobs because of this shitty market. I feel guilty dropping $230+ dollars on a video game and a controller. Oh well, the market will right itself eventually and guilt fades with time. Actually, it will probably fade sometime in mid February.

    Looks like we didn't need a new thread after all. Sweet!

    they are sqare gates, but the TE sticks are all sanwa parts, so they are VERY easy to change things out on. all the buttons use quick disconnects also, so no soldering required.

    LOL! Poor Taramoor.

    Oyi Taramoor! You gonna join us for the next tourney? We need like 5 more people. Also, not to sound completely noobish, but what's the difference between a square gate and um, other types of gates. Is a square gate not the best and if so, why include it in the uber tourney addition stick?

    From what I understand, the gate shape is the shape of the hole that the joystick is sticking out of. So having a square gate gives you four corners that the stick can go (I'm assuming up, down, left right?), and an octagonal gate gives you eight corners that the stick can go (up, down, left, right, and the four diagonals).

    I'm not sure why they would go with a square gate since it seems like most people prefer octagonal for 2D fighters, but then again some people really don't mind it. I think I heard that people like the square gates more for 3D fighters (SCIV stick has a square gate, for example).

    I have no personal opinion of either, all this is just what I've gathered from reading SFII threads since I started playing HD Remix. I just use the pad :) The only issues I have is the FP/FK buttons are a little inconvienient since they are mapped to the bumpers, so I think I might just pick up the SFIV pad when it comes out instead of shelling out for the stick.

    Close Pancakes. "Gates" does indeed refer to the corners that the you can feel the stick push into.

    Square Gates give you NW, SW, SE, NE.

    Octagon Gates give you N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW.

    Circle Gates give you none.

    The Hori stick that everyone buys has a Square Gate by default, but you can purchase an Octagon Gate for it and it improves the stick tremendously. It's a very easy mod, too. And cheap.

    Does a Octagon Gate cost that much more and why not put it into all fighting sticks? I noticed that I always had a hard time blocking down back with all the other sticks I used to own. Would the square gate have been the problem? I'd like to think that after all this time I'd know how to block low. :)

    Seriously, the last thing I want to do is buy another stick only to not be able to block again. I'm also not keen on the idea of ordering and installing parts. Maybe that's just me though.

    Sadly, I'm out of state Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday, and would be very poor competition.

    Square gates actually better for 2d fighting games because you have an equal % of activation area in each of the 8 directions where the areas where the stick is active for the diagonals is smaller on an octagon gate.
