Street Fighter Anniversary and the F***ing Magic Box converter

Submitted by Madbury on Wed, 25/05/2005 - 14:24

Purchased this game ages ago and tried it on the XBox pad. Figured out pretty quickly that it's unplayable on the pad and thought about getting an arcade stick. In the end I opted for one of the MagicBox converters that allows you to fit DC, Playstation and Saturn (I think) pads and sticks to the XBox.

So I plug in my DC stick, only to find the fucking thing maps the hard punch and hard kick buttons to L and R (I'm guessing here) and SFA has them locked to white and black.

needless to say I am pissed Sad

Whoopseedaisy!

It's uncommon knowledge that the official DC stick only has 4 buttons work through the magic box. >_<

Unsure as to why because i used a regular DC pad prior to the change (see below) and the black & white buttons were mapped to L & R respectively ?!?

Anyway, PS2 sticks all seem to be the better option, Hori ones in particular ^_^

I've got a 2nd generation saturn pad thorugh the same convertor and it's lush!

If your on LIVE madbury throw us an FR, i binned off someone today because they dropped, git, no friend o' mine!

Sorry, I'm not online very often, but I'm eager to get blooded on 3rd strike properly. I'm absolutely shit at it, but a couple of games would be fun just for shits and giggles. The Shend I'll send you a friend request.

I'll hook me XBox back up and sort it out.

I accepted your FR Treble ^_^ I just haven't had chance to go on accept for a sly hour this morning!

Cheers Madbury, if you want i'll swap to the spad and mic if you want me take you through some strikeology ^_^

I'm trying to learn Urien properly, he's rediculous. You can do something called 'charge buffering' which is just crazy! I saw some vids of Urien players juggling folk 5 times in the corner off a charge move. How!!? Charge Buffering is how.

Everyone knows a charge move? Guile. Sonic Boom. Flash Kick. Yes well remember those. (back 2 secs then forward and button, yes?) Well, you do that BUT you don't press the button until you've pressed back again?? So it's:

Back for 2 secs > Forward > Back + Button (move still comes out!!!!) AND it gives the important time advantage to allow a repeat attack. 5 times Sick

This is the move i'm banging on about!:

Then there's something called charge partitioning, but i aint going there!

Too deep!

Have a ganders at this site. It has gifs of most characters ^_^

so basically you can buffer in the charge during his attack animation and recovery animation? I was aware of some basic buffering, like during blocks and jumps and stuff like that, but that does sound awesome.

Answered your friend request last night Treb and sent one to TheShend. It had been so long since I'd been online that my CC had expired, so I had to update all my details.

Question

How do the Hori parts compare to the Sanwa parts in the DC sticks? I really like the feel of the Sanwa sticks (even purchased a set for my cab). My DC stick needs to be loosened up a bit and possibly relubed, at the moment it tends to stick in the diagonal directions.

I think Saurian maybe your man for explaining your stick question. I'm pad all the way, though one day i will make the change.

The numerous sticks that are out there, from what i've read, Horis' Real Arcade Pro is the best buy if you've the money! Which is the stick i've my eye on.

I think some of the lads on ghz have HRAPs, Boog or Mood, can't remember.

Cheers for the FR, i'll accept it soon as i get 5min to log into LIVE.

ROAR! This is what it's all about, a Street Fighter thread!

Gamertag: UberBoog

I'm not on it a lot at the moment though due to exams and coursework, but I'll be back on this soon! ^_^ Has Treble finally taken the push to play us all on Xbox Live? Laughing out loud Makoto > Treble Tongue

Still think my ntsc-uk review should have got 10/10. This game is the SHIT, and if I could only have one game for the rest of my life this would be it.

Even though I'm fairly crap. Laughing out loud

I'll send you a FR boog, I could do with a few lessons. There's a reasonable chance I might be on for a few hours over the next weekend, so I'll see who's around.

At least Boog can't unscrew my joystick on Live Tongue

Come on sort it. You're probably as shit as I am at this game.

I had a dream today on the bog at work about butchering an eu saturn pad and wiring the control board, cable and plug into a DC stick. Mmmmmm dreamy.

I've got too many projects on the go though, so it should be ready around 2008 Sad
