Been meaning to play but have been super busy at work these past few weeks, so very little VOOT recently.
Also waiting for twinsticks to arrive

Re: Updated Hori Twin Stick design, regular orders offered
I get your point, but I have to disagree about the severity. The keyword is "abuse". Unless the controller is subject to abuse, the real VOOT arcade joysticks are fine. Broken shafts and other damage is caused by violent usage, such as idiots using the sticks to support their full body we...

Re: Tier list thoughts?
In my experience, it seems like the laser cages are key for defeating Specineff. Players who are good at using them are really tough for me, players who don't use them well (or at all) are a lot easier. I've learned over time how to deal with Raidens that blindly spam laser cages from longer range ...

Re: Tier list thoughts?
I just noticed that Spec vs Rai dropped from 6.5/3.5 to 6/4. Which I think makes sense; Spec has an advantage in speed and projectiles that go through obstacles, but Raidens that use laser cages and also anticipate well and use standing CW are pretty effective.

Re: advanced techniques
The only thing I can think of is that the designers want to promote aggressive (rather than defensive) play... if you look at all the available angles, only if you start off by dashing sideways, can you then go backwards (or angled backwards). Otherwise, your watari angles are limited to sideways/fo...

I'm using TwinStick A setup, with some edits:
A = crouch
B = crouch + RT
X = crouch + LT
Y = jump

Re: Updated Hori Twin Stick design, regular orders offered
So how does one go about ordering the Twin Stick EX from the Hori website? Is there a shipping to US option, or do you have to go through an importer? Still not sure about spending that kind of dough on a use-specific peripheral, but just maybe...

Re: Official Site Update 7/10 - Survey results
When they say "Top 20", are they referring purely to the design aesthetics of each VR?

Re: Post your questions here
I was just wondering if they tuned some things or if I'm losing my mind. :) Yes, I think they have tuned the tier rankings somewhat over time. Angelans give me two problems I have yet to figure out: 1.) How to hit at long range: - CW attacks and RTRW are usually easy for her to dodge at long range,...

Re: Post your questions here
I'm surprised that the chart lists SPE-ANG as 4.5-5.5 versus SPE-BAL as 5.0-5.0. Good BAL players give me more problems, but I don't really have too many issues versus ANG. Thanks for the suggestions re: vs. DOR. I try to stay long range and do all those, but I guess I just have to learn to dodge be...

Re: Post your questions here
Dave -- I have the same problems vs. Grys-vok. You can't punish the fwd dash cRW with a dash RW because the last pair of missiles will get you, and the tradeoff is not in Spec's favor. Also, a lot of times I get caught by his cLTCW or cCW in the middle of jump-cancelling or landing from an air dash ...

Re: Title update, Hori Twin Stick Update and XBLA tourney
This is pure speculation, but maybe there are not a lot of results because the new version is possibly not compatible with the old, and not everyone has updated yet. I don't think that's the reason; XBL is pretty good about the enforcement of patches. After July 1, the only way for people to play o...

Re: Share your VO experience or history
Hui Ping was my VOOM mentor but let go of VO before VOOT arrived. I started with Fei-Yen and she advised me to try out Viper II. It was through her that I was introduced to Mark. Of the 1st gen S'pore VOOMers, I believe only Chris and Alan moved on to VOOT seriously. Well, I played a TON of OMG... ...

Public port I'm not clear on this, either. It seems they fixed some bugs for the different variations not being chosen under certain circumstances.

Re: Share your VO experience or history
Alan Tan was/is my good friend, classmate, and VF/VO buddy way back in the day. I've lost contact with him, but would be really happy to reconnect and maybe play VOOT online with him.
So, SupidSeep, you still haven't revealed who you are

Re: Share your VO experience or history
My first guess would have been Mark at Orchard Emerald, but the playing VF part throws me off.
BTW, are you playing VOOT online? If so, please add me to your friends list. We should meet up and play one of these days!
