    Woah woah woah. First of all, you didn't even address what I was talking about -- It wasn't about the PS3 port alone; it was about TRANSITIONING playing from Xbox to PS3 and vice versa, and that there's a noticable difference between the two that can affect gameplay. Again, have you ACTUALLY played the two versions within a short amount of time of each other?

    Wazzat?

    No?

    Ok then. :rolleyes:



    *shrug*

    Anyway, I've said my piece, and vented my frustration. I didn't put this out there to coerce people to throw away there ps3's and torch sony's offices -- I did mention it because I have experienced a problem that I wish could be addressed (either for this version (unlikely) or future versions of VF console ports), and to vent my frustration from that experience.

    People will believe what they want, so it's whatever. I'll stop derailing the topic.

    ....

    So anyway, Final Round was AWESOME :D

    It's also possible tourney pressure might have played a factor for some of you guys, especially if you haven't been to many majors. I know this isn't the case for Blackstar, but might be for some others.

    It's hard to play when it's super hype and a local is yelling at 120 decibels in your ear.

    I had fun, met some great cats, got in a lot of casuals, bopped some randoms, got bopped by a top player twice, learned some weaknesses / tendencies and how far I have left to go. I.E. Everyone's first major tournament experience ever?

    Blackstar: Thank you for doing the work while the rest of us played video games. It's appreciated and I hope I can return the favor when you attend The Fall Classic (for the unaware: Sept 14th-15th Raleigh, NC. All of the big East Coast TOs running a single event; "East Coast EVO." Get HYPE!) I will be training just as hard for TFC as I did for FR, Blackstar, so if you expect to get that money match runback you'd better hit that VF gym. I'm not giving this money back easily. :D

    Shag: I've looked forward to meeting any of the NYC guys ever since I joined this site during VF4Evo days. You were kind and generous of your time. You could not have been a better representative for your scene. I was thrilled to hold my own against you and I look forward to competing with you again.

    Blackula: congrats on keeping JWong out of the money; It saved me the embarrassment of losing to him and having Ryan Hart / Justin Wong Grand Finals. :) Oh, I almost forgot.. I got my revenge, baby! Come get that runback-runback in September.

    BrodiMAN, Hurtfulthings, Ghabstopr, and Heaton: I'm sorry we never got to play any games. I really wanted to play everyone who showed and get as much character experience as possible, but it wasn't meant to be.

    Bluelink, Genesis, and Steel: Thanks for all of the casuals over the weekend. I learned something from each of you. (Really, I did.)

    CDGR, you're a good friend to stay and help Blackstar all day like you did. Very cool.

    Ryan Hart and Justin Wong: I don't know if you're reading this, but if you are Thank You So Much for entering VF and making the tournament that much more incredible. I'm excited about the possibility of playing against either of you again at The Fall Classic. (Ryan, if you pick my costume again I swear I will END YOU! ^,^)

    Shinblanka: FR16 was a truly amazing and well-run tournament. I will definitely be back for FR17.

    EDIT: Oh, yeah.... 2nd place Final Round 16 VF5FS! /squeal

    I rarely post, but dude...about the Blackstar's laggy FR16 experience, it might be true! First of all, the game is a little, just a little prettier on XBOX, but it really runs at 60 FPS on both consoles: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-vf5-final-showdown-face-off

    It's not the game, it's not the console, it's the setup, a tourney setup to be precise. I'm glad that Blackstar specified he played through the "EVO monitor". Fuudo himself said he noticed some lag at EVO. I believe it was the signal that might be split in 2, 3 or even maybe 4 parts during a tourney on a big stage. 1 part obviously for the players' monitor, more 1 or 2 for the streamer and comentators, and the last one for the crowd's big screen.

    I own both versions and consoles. Run them on same monitor. I see no difference whatsoever. I'm with Jide and Feck in this one.

    I'm hoping to make it out to TFC if my schedule will allow for it. September is a while away, so I don't really know what my work schedule will look like for that time, but I'm hoping it's in my favor. I want to actually start putting some more time into this game again and hopefully do well if I can make it out to TFC!

    Here's to hoping I can *maybe* just maybe get some local players into the game to train up. It's been rather futile the last few years, but I'm hoping I can get a few on board for a change!

    After feeling sick on monday and deciding to take some rest before my travel, I'm finally back to Brazil.

    This tournament was godlike, this is the first time that I was able to play VF offline with people that actually plays and practices VF since I started playing this game more seriously, and it was an awesome experience, I learned a lot about the game and I had a lot of fun.

    Blackstar: Thanks for running the tournament, for the casuals and for the advices, and good shit giving your spot on the bracket to another player when a problem happened on it, mad respect for you on it.

    Drift: Also thanks for the casuals and for the advices, I learned a lot about Kage playing against you.

    Heaton, Kickstart and Codec: ggs on our tournament matches.

    ShinBlanka: Thanks for giving the opportunity of having a VF side tournament and caring about smaller communities, you are godlike, good luck with TFC!


    Everyone else who helped on the tournament somehow, and all the FR staff: thanks for helping on it.

    And now that I'm back I will practice this game even more, I don't know when I will have another opportunity to compete, but I surely wanna be prepared for it.

    Please. You don't know what the fuck you're even talking about. Everyone else has no problem hitting the just frame kicks on PS3. There's no fucking input lag offline. Saying implausible, retarded things like " it's the USB ports on the PS3" just make you sound stupid. USB ports are made to IEEE standard, they are universal on Ps3 , Xbox and PC.


    Blackstar already stated he has " hate" for the PS3. Your opinion is obviously biased. Feeling an intense emotion for an inanimate object is irrational. So your failure to hit just frame moves is a personal problem, not a hardware problem. You just have a mental block.

    I have both systems an have absolutely no problem hitting Sarah's just frame kick on either. If you people were having so much trouble at FR, it was your crappy video setup. It wouldn't be the first time you people used sub par equipment for VF side tourneys and kept the good stuff for the Crapcom games.
