Re: Updated Hori Twin Stick design, regular orders offered

On the topic of sticks abuse, we had people doing "one arm gliding ram / slc" with enough force to break the sticks. I still had a piece of the broken support rod as evidence ;) Well we the players subsequently outlaw that as it broke the very sticks that we love to play with. Another thin...

Re: Updated Hori Twin Stick design, regular orders offered

If the new model is not using the Sanwa sticks, it's not worth the money anymore. I have seem way too many sticks broken in the arcades. The sticks certainly looked like the Seimitsu sticks used in the original arcade cabinets. The mostly common faults were bad triggers and broken support rod in the...

Re: Share your VO experience or history

Final clue to my identity: I wrote one of the few english VOOT 5.2 faqs and dedicated it to our local CC Maniac. If this is not enough to guess my callsign, I don't know what to say. Rolander :) BTW, I used to play a lot of VF with Choon Eng; he was also a big Virtua Racing and/or Daytona racer bac...

Custom VOOT MSBS 5.2 Arcade Twin Sticks

With thanks to the information provided by MentholMoose, I embarked on my crazy journey to make my own sticks based on the specifications as the arcade version which I am used to. The project actually started in late June but I had been busy with work lately, so here is the progress so far. Choice o...

Re: Share your VO experience or history

No X360; I have the money but it's committed to my school fees - sorry Chris. I remember you were trying out Bal in the early days when you were back at S'pore at around JK's first tourny. Mark was one of the 1st gen VOOMers in S'pore and I did have a couple of games of VOOM; I remember him hanging...

Re: Post your questions here

Also, is there a practical use for the dashing melee? It seems pretty hard to connect with... It's not used that much since it's dangerous and difficult, but it has it's place. It's like any move: it's good to have in your arsenal, so you can use it when the opportunity arises. Way back then, it wa...

Re: Share your VO experience or history

Hi, all! Hey, Jiakiang, Chris, guess who am I? I was among the 1st gen VOOTers in S'pore, started with Cypher (played in the first tourny organised by JK), moved on to Fei-Yen & Aph B (which became my primary). I played mostly at Orchard Emerald and Cineleisure; I was never serious about enhanc...

Re: Post your questions here

I saw some guy use Bal-bado's CW but while the lasers were firing he was also able to shoot mines out of them as well. Now I usually do the same thing to people only I shoot rings out. I tried everything. How do i make it so minds shoot out instead? After initiating the CW, press the "special&...

Re: VOOT 5.2 Arcade Panel measurements

Welcome to the forum. I have the measurements for the VER.5.2 versus city panel, but not from the panel from the deluxe cabinet. The sticks on the deluxe panel are even further apart. IMO the spacing on the versus city panel is actually better. From here : Here are my measurements for the VER.5.2 v...

Re: Post your questions here

Hmm unless CW+RT has been changed greatly since 5.2, it is fairly useless. I didn't dare to try it in 5.66 because I will eat punishment from the freeze time. It leaves you vulnerable, and has a terrible tracking ability. It's so easily dodge that I managed to land it like 2 times before on human p...

Re: Post your questions here

BTW, Cypher's CW+RT is fairly useless. The crouch and jump CW+RT is far superior. They actually has their uses, Myself and the number of players who have been nailed by a surprise RTCW ("the Gamechanger") beg to differ! Hmm unless CW+RT has been changed greatly since 5.2, it is fairly use...

Re: Post your questions here

In such slow landing scenarios I tend to try to land my VR in some unexpected place, like on an environment object. It's pretty useful against people sometimes as it messes up their landing catches and also makes you regain your abilities faster. I have a question about Cyphers RT+CW attack, a guid...

Re: Post your questions here

For Cypher, I've found that the SLC attack is actually pretty effective against angelan players, if you can fly well... if you get them by suprise you'll be moving way faster towards them due to the attack while theyre setting up defencive attacks like dragons. Actually in the end, the SLC has only...

Re: Post your questions here

Need to be specific on what you are getting hit by, and how that cypher is playing. I shouldnt speak for Angelan as what I post here is the least good on paper, tho players who have better ideas postup! For medium to slow mechs, versus Cypher at longrange is entitled to eat RTCW and RTLW if evading...

Re: Post your questions here

Alternatively, like the Temjin's Surfing Ram, you can attempt to block it. If you see him coming, you can anticipate the double lock on distance and block. It only hits once (Surfing Ram hits twice), then you can punish him with a guard-reversal or jumping CC attack. I should make 2 other notes as ...
