Zbattle = True Online OG SF??

[Jahnli]

i dled zbattle and zsnes and a few sfii roms today, got on the net, started a game, tried hosting and got hte "waiting for client" sign forever. then the guy said "let me try to host" and then we had the same prob but in reverse. then he said "wait a sec lemme see what version of zsnes you got" then he said he got on my desktop and searched my DL history lol! got me paranoid but he said i had the right version, couldnt figure out why we couldnt play especially since we were obviously hooked up.

what do you think the prob was?
i dont use a router, i have a verizon dsl hookup so its a floating isp - dunno if this means i cant host, but it shouldnt stop me from joning a game right? i play warcraft and i have a similar prob - i cant host games but i can join em. but in zbattle i cant even join em!

[Dark Gaiden]

Is your Zbattle located within your ZSNES folder? Hey Jesse, let's hope Delpino does decide to show up :cool:

[Jahnli]

yep my zsnes and zbattle are in the same folder, and my roms are in a diff folder (just smc files only) - and last nite i downloaded a rom form someone off zbattle so i know we are connected. i could hit start game and the zsnes started up. but thats it - no meeting of the minds to actually get the game going . we both had the same rom (i just DLed it from him lol).

Are you running XP?? If you are, make sure you have disabled your XP firewall under control panel/network-internet connections/network connections....go to the properties of your broadband connection and make sure you UNCHECK your firewall.

You can turn it back on when you are done playing on zbattle.

Also, you may wanna change your video settings in ZSNES to 640 X 40 DR FULL. This will make it alot easier on your eyes when playing...trust me!

Hey,

All of your roms must be placed in your Zsnes folder-as aforementioned in the first post on this thread :D

[Jahnli]

ugh! i tried that, then it didnt work, then i read somewhere on page 7 or something that they should be in hteir own folder, so i tried that, didnt work - i'm doing my homework it just aint workin!

--------
ok i put everything and their mother in one folder - C: ZSNES. here is the prob i have -

"Even though Zbattle.net is down at the moment, you still can play NetPlay via your Zsnes. All you need is your IP address. If one of your friends (who also has Zsnes) has AIM, YM or ICQ, just send them your current IP address. Then all your opponent has to do is open their Zsnes and click "Netplay" and enter the IP address you just gave them. Since you gave them your IP address, you will be the one hosting the game/server, so on your Zsnes, just click Netplay and select "Start as Server." All your opponent has to do on their end is select "Connect to Server"-since in fact they are joining your game/server."

This is where it messes up. i put my ip addy in, the other guy put his in, we were all ready to hook up direct. he hit host, i hit connect - he found me, i didnt connect. what's the problem? i can't connect directly for netplay!

[SaBrE]

when you tried direct connection, do both of you have "allow udp connection" checkmarked under the internet option in zsnes? it needs to be. plus are you behind a rounter or firewall, or maybe your friend?

[pulpasis]

Ya gotta love z...

http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~pulpasis/iloveutoo.jpg

[Dark Gaiden]

Yea, that's vintage Z alright...heaven forbid some people on this planet are actually talented at certain things :cool:

[Jahnli]

yep udp is checked and when we try to connect it says udp connected. also, the other guy has played before so it isnt a prob on his side - no firewalls or such. plus, i shouldnt be behind a firewall, i can join up on custom warcraft games no prob, which shows my comp isnt behind a firewall, and no ips or ports are blocked. argh!

[brian]

well, i may have gotten a new good player from kaillera to come to zbattle. his name is Aures.

And hey Jessie, he wants to play your fei long. He doesnt believe its possbile to be really good with fei.

[SaBrE]

fei long = massive damage factor. small guy doing big guy damage hahaha. deadly

I saw him on earlier today.

I have played 2 guys from Kaillera....and although they like the gameplay....after I beat them down they make the excuse that its "Not arcade perfect" or that "If you were on Kaillera, I would own you!"

Well, this isnt kaillera. And its not supposed to be arcade. Its snes for crying out loud! What?? Are they mysteriously better at playing on a laggy connection??

I tried kaillera the other week, and I was on a really good ping server...the gameplay was total crap compared to zbattle. Yeah, the games look alot prettier on Kaillera, but I would rather play an enjoyable lag free match with ok grafx than an arcade netclient that "loses synch" every other match!

Tell him I will be glad to play him :) Hope he has a good controller

Oh, and let him know that SSF Fei Long is nothing compared to ST Fei Long :D

[brian]

While I agree that zbattle is way more fun than kaillera, I think it is worth noting that the SNES version is WAY different from the arcade version.

There are differences in priority and so forth, but actually I think the biggest difference is in *size*.

The characters on SNES are significantly smaller. This is a big deal.

For example, in arcade, if Im Guile in a fireball fight with a shoto, I can take a small step forward and jumping roundhouse their fireball from full screen. On Snes, its not even close. I have to flash kick over a fireball first before I can do that. If they jump forward over my sonic boom, in the arcade I could jumping roundhouse them from practically anywhere. On Snes thats not the case, and my positioning will be crappier for it.

I'm sure you can think of more examples.

Actually, it's amusing to think about which characters are better on SNES, and which are worse. I'm really not sure.

Anyway, I think the point is that SNES sf2 is a different game, but still a fun game.

[SaBrE]

well one thing is for sure, its alot better than the arcade version by far rofl. but like jsj said, i'd rather take a lag free match and a decent conversion than play the arcade version with crap connection...at lesat one is playable

[brian]

agreed

[Vintage]

*bump* for all the new blood on Z who are encountering any problems...

[Maxstah]

question who here can vouch for vint/gaiden that they use pads? I find it unbelievable that anyones thumb can respond so well?? PAD pro's? do they exist? on the next montel.

[Jappo]

ok, yesterday i played a few games, now when I try to play a game with someone zsnes doesnt' come up or I get a message saying something like

Zsnes has caused an error in Zsnes.exe.

Then it closes. So I'm like, "WTF?"

This guy tells me that i have to d/l Windows Socket 2, so I d/l it and when i try to open it, i get a message saying:

An error was encountered while installing Winsock2. Setup has been cancelled. See C:\\WINDOWS\WS2SETUP.LOG for more information.

I'm stuck. What the problem?

Hey,

Don't try to run Winsock. Just download it and place it within your Zbattle folder, which should be within your ZSNES folder. After that, you should be good to go.

-This is 1 part of the union known as Mana+, btw :cool:

[Jappo]

Thanks for the tip, imma try that right now, as seening that i've been on zbattle for the last 3 hours trying to fix the damn thing.

EDIT: No luck:( :( :(

My aim is Yoshi Musashi. If anyone is willing to help me step by step with this, i'd really appreciate it.

Yes Max....we do exist. I can play just as good on a pad than I do on a stick. :)

Remember that fierce, fierce-standing flash kick?? All on pad

[Vintage]

Aures,

You cannot play either my bro or me until you fix your connection. It was funny the first time when you played my bro the 20some odd battles with that ridiculous lag, but now...it's just as bad as Kalliera

[Maxstah]

jesse . well yea i mean i can do that decently on a pad too if given the opportunity but i'm talking more about the transitional dp's from walking forward,backward from whiffed moves and shit. hard to explain. like with fei i can normally poke forward ect. advancing and on a stick quickly go to back dp for flame kick. but on a pad takes me too much time to do that.

[Maxstah]

i got omars mas stick! someone go go go! hurry before nyquil kicks in

[Jappo]

First, I want to thank Gaiden and Vingate's help to getting this ish started.:)

But now another problem arose. I have lag. I can play fine offline, but when it's online, i get hit by fireballs from across the screen. That isn't good :(

[SaBrE]

max: yeah dude I know exactly what you are saying. I never really sat down to play real sf with a pad since it came out on snes. I can play on a pad well, but my thumb speed doesnt seem to be fast enough to do certain things like what you said. like i would try to do footsie games with shotos walking back oand ofrth throwing out low forwards, and i can see the jump coming, but my thumb cant go from back, to a completed dp motion in a fraction of a second. I never realized how insanely tough it is to do that on a pad. I find it tough to the point where i lose confidence in my AA abilities. I start to second guess the reliance of my pad playing and just have to settle with blocking and losing my momentum. and we all know that second guessing is a really bad thing in sf.

I dunno, i just cant see it being possible. even tho i guess it is. i just think moving your hand is obviously much faster than being able to move your thumb. like for instance, I think the hand is naturally faster to wiggle a stick left and right than it is with a thimb using a pad. im sure with a thumb, you can get decent speeds, but i dont see how its possible to move as fast as the whole hand. Just seems like a human physical limitation? I dunno.

all i know is that vintage and gaiden can land dp's on any jump you try to do on them. too good, and at the same time frustrating, god damn those games last night rofl!:lol: I just do all that shit fast enough on a pad. i can on a stick easily, just not on a pad unfortunately. i need a stick badly :(

[Two Tikkets]

oh my fucking god... zbattle is sooo OG Xband.. its like crack..
im going to be playing this all the time now.. screw LIVE!! iill be on either as -BoB- or TwoTikkets

[Neoptelemos]

I love Zbattle I'm a kickas player with keyboard ^^ lol it took some practise but i'm actually pretty good with it ^^.

I'm gonna go buy a pad anyway to further improve my game

Hey Bob,

It took you long enough! My bro sent you a PM several weeks back about Zbattle. I suppose you were too busy enjoying the lag on Live :) I saw Delpino on a few days ago. You have to convince guys like Soth, Monkey, SK-40, etc. to get on the bus already. According to a good friend of Winner!, he is considering joining Z too. So, needless to say, we're slowly embarking upon an SF Xband reunion. What the heck, I suppose I would even welcome KillahKing(NBK) on here too...well, maybe anyway. If they're a tad hesistant, feel free to remind them that Z is free :cool:

[four degrees 40]

Zbattle has been around for ALONG time, i was up on there about 3 years ago playing constantly, mostly SMK and stuff, coop games are fun too, i beat seiken densetsu 3 with a buddy that way, then i got z'd out and everyone gets on? hehe, ill hafta play again sometime.

[Maxstah]

The Pad Pro's still boggles the mind ...a pad.... . Anyhow must say no dick sucking going on here or anything but i must give props to em. The consistency of their timing, positioning and adaptation to change is really something from years back. They play a real solid game. Course they have been playing ssf snes for probably close to 10 years now so i suppose they SHOULD be good heh. Just fustrating on a pad and even when on the stick last nite (omar took back bastard) i wasn't able to do much. doped up with eyes 1/2 open on nyquil might have had some of the problem but i would have only won another 2 or 3 matches out of the 20 if that. I just don't have the pacience for thinking anymore in SF i guess. Just too agressive kills me alot. Really weird learning Super specially when didn't play back in the day. just did gief glitches all day to people. ST got back into it. really can't find a character in super i like too much . HF of course blanka cuz he's fun and cheap but his priority is whack in super . crouch fierce isn't a trade tool on that. but anyhow still fun for what its worth FREE! always someone on it seems. Who here beats the 2 pad pro's vint/gaiden more then loses? interested to hear . Anyhow ya'll are bastards and i'll see ya'll online. old man out

It's not like Vintage/Gaiden is unbeatable. They just have a really really good Dhalsim :) Incase you dont already know, Sim is VERY VERY VERY powerful in the home version of SSF. But of course Gaiden is just gonna claim "You are a hater" if you say that to him :p That is the only fighter that he gives me REAL hell with. Against all their other fighters, anyone who's good can fight them on Z.

I just played a guy named ShinGuile....a pretty solid player with Ryu, Sim, Guile, DeeJay and Balrog. Got me the first 4 games, then I busted out with Fei. Jumped up 14-4 then switched to Ken, Ryu. Glad to see more and more players are joining the service.

PS. Vintage has a huge Jem and the Holograms collection of dolls and Underoos! :D

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Hey guys.
I'm running a SF Tournament on Zbattle starting on November the 28.
All Fighters will fight in the KO System.
If you want to participate in this one, write all of these things below.
Name (Your name)
E-Mail Adress or any Messenger to contact your opponent.
Game (Whether you want to play SSF2 or SF2 Turbo)

The Game thats is going to get more votes, is going to be played.
Thats all. Thx for registering.

[SaBrE]

yeah definite props to the pad bros.those cheap bastards! :D

[eddymasta]

Yay, finally got this up and workin, just got done getting Pwned with a capital P by Brian... Hopefully someday I will actually pose a challenge :P

[brian]

yeah it seems to me that dhalsim is considerably overpowered on the snes version (i mean more so than the arcade :P).
The reason is the size thing I was commenting on before.
Most characters who play keepaway dont benefit much from the smaller character size. Like take sagat. If you jump forward over his tiger from like full screen, he cant do much about it, unlike in the arcade.
But jump forward over a yoga fire from even snes full screen and you get whacked. If you anticipate it early, you can land safely, but you cant hit sim cause you were so far away (unlike arcade... well for guile anyway). So he can push you back out again. You basically have to guess right twice in a row in order to get in on him. And is it me, or are his yoga spears way faster on snes? I can sit there waiting to flash kick it, and I still cant do it in time.
btw the jab dps are also a lot harder to punish on snes than in arcade. All you shoto whores out there take note ;).
Actually I was just bitching to Sabre the other day that playing on Snes was actually making me worse in the arcade... as when I just recently played in the arcade a bit, my timing and spacing were totally off.
But actually, I played a few hours more over the weekend, and got used to it again. So its not too big a deal. Just got to be ready to adapt to whichever version :).

[JumpsuitJesse]

Just remember...SNES Zbattle is just a novelty for fun. If its interfering with your arcade gameplan, then take a break from it for a while.

I play on Z just to do crazy shit, and to be flashy. Winning and losing aren't a big deal. Somedays I wreck shop, and others I get owned. Its all simple fun tho :)

[brian]

On the other hand... I have like a thousand times more comp on zbattle than in the arcade. So... which is the novelty? :lol:

[eddymasta]

if anyone is up for some street fighter, hit me up on aim at eddy masta if you wanna boost your ego ;p

[Eckostyle]

You've prolly seen me around ZBattle quite a bit(my handle is Eckostyle). I havent been able to play SF much because my Logitech Wingman has a really sensitive d-pad(which is why Im getting a Saturn to PC adapter soon), and when I try to goin a SSF2 game, I always end up having to download even though I have the rom. Anyone know what gives?

[JumpsuitJesse]

Because you have a different version of the rom. Either Europe, or Japan. Get the US version of the rom.

[Digital Master]

I have to get cable or dsl connection for this zbattle,im on 56k and its a little laggy when i play and some guys get off of my game

[Vintage]

Alright. This post is to provide some clarification because there seems to be some confusion.

**KEY** DG= Dark Gaiden Vin=Vintage

Character Breakdown as far as who uses who (this is the part where you kids are all extremely attentive):

Ken-both
Sagat-DG for the time being :)
Gief-both
Guile-DG
Dee Jay-DG
Chun-DG
Ryu-both (albeit, on an extended leave of absence)
Sim-Vin

Did you all get that? I hope so. Now, there should be no reason for someone to confuse Sim when playing either Vin/DG/Mana+ as DG.

It's funny, if someone just came onto Zbattle and was reading these posts on this thread, he/she might get the impression that I was a Sim player. Sim?! Hardly boys & girls. We are BOTH Ryu players. Always were, currently are, and always will be. :cool:

As far as the whole stick vs. pad thing...we've long realized that we were the exception to the SF rule of thought. Which is perfectly fine with us. After all, ancient prophecies usually only speak of something rare. Ladies & gentlemen, you needn't look any further than the two "heralded" pad visionaries, known as Dark Gaiden & Vintage :cool:

[Spoony]

^^^

I use a keyboard. I like the keyboard... unless I'm trying to play someone that needs extended HCF or 720s...

i go by the handle "eh" on zbattle. see you guys around :)

You could have just said you and your brother are very good on a pad.

One more ounce of cheese and everyone who read that last part would have been constipated for a week! :p

You know, I suppose you're right. I probably should have just shortened it to something along the lines of: "We are as the prophecy fortold"

Now that, would have been classy :D

[JumpsuitJesse]

Sabr3....rumor has it that you bit my wake up combo with Ken.

Meaty low forward, low short, dragon punch! You xcopy whore! :p

[SaBrE]

lol jsj. actually i bit that from someone way back in the day. you just made me remember it lol

[Dreaded Fist]

Man, sabre, I read and followed the instruction on your guide a few pages back on how to configure your router, set the static ip, etc..

And after I do everything I lost the internet connection. I turn off my computer, unplug my cable modem and the router, then restart. In my linksys menu(the one you access thru your browser) It stated that my computer's ip was 192.168.1.100, but when i go to control panel and networking, it says the Ip was 192.168.1.2

And also do I need to set it on static Ip in the linksys menu as well? since that wasn't covered in your guide.

and ALSO, lol, in the linksys menu, it gave me a different default gateway, its not 192.168.1.1, should i use the 192 or the one that was given to me in the status window.

But man I've been trying all night yesterday, and all morning today. I just go this router.

Just trying to play some MK2 and mario kart.

thx and later

ok nm, i'm all set to go. People who have problems, just get port magic. Load it up and it'll open ports for you auto.

someone hook me up with a port magic cd key

[CptMunta]

Is it worth playing this game on Dial up.

I've been playing the Streetfighter online game. Which okay. Though its hard to tell if the fighting engine is all that faithful because I'm playing on dial which is a Huge handicap.

Is it worth downloading all this stuff if I've only got a dial up 56K modem. Just to play with a controller. And play old school SF?

Muntmeister

[Gen2000]

I know this is mostly about Zbattle SFer, but don't see a point in making a new thread about this:

Any Super Mario Kart players here? Read the whole thread, but didn't see many peeps who would be up for some matches from here. I'm not good enough yet to throw down with some of SFers here, so I just play SMK, heh. If anyone up for some SMK games, PMed or post here.

Also if you're online, look out for a guy named "POLO", he's a Japanese player that is insane in the game.

[SaBrE]

yeah dude its cool, discuss whatever game in here related to zbattle. just trying to increase the scene. I'm trying to get more players to get on to play more KI myself. I've met a few good players so far, hope to meet more. Starting to get back on par in the game :D so if anyone wants the toughest comp in that game around, come holla at me...

[Eckostyle]

SMK is the game I play the most on ZBattle. :) Want to hook up and play, Gen2000?

[SaBrE]

im down to play smk. i play sometimes. im not too great tho. Never really played anything beyond mushroom cup and battle mode heh. but im down for anything. i should learn bowzer and dk so i can actually compete well in races. they are too good

[Gen2000]

Echostyle: Sure, how about Friday (tomorrow is Turkey day)? I'll be on quite some time then. My Zbattle name is the same as here and I'll put some "[SRK]" tag in the title.

SaBrE: It's all about Koopa Troopa (or Toad if he is already selected, lol). :D

[SaBrE]

gen: its pretty much established that bowzer and dk own the game. but they take lots of skill, since they accelerate really slow

[Dreaded Fist]

sabr3 man,

can you take a look at what I've posted and offer me some way to solve the problem?
Because port magic is about to run out of the 17days trial period.

[Eckostyle]

I still have to end up downloading something when I enter a room. I have about 800+ roms, all of the USA roms, yet I still get a download going, even for games I had to DL before. What gives? Its getting anoying.

[Holy Knight]

I think the system just tries to detect the same file names and go from there. If your rom doesn't match the same name as the rom of the host, then you have to download their rom.

[Drizzt Do'urden]

yo

didnt read the whole thread so sorry if this is late.....

but anyone here up for some Gundam wing endless deul???

I play that game mostly since its the only zbattle exclusive that I know of.....

I'll play some SSF2 and SF2T on occasions but if I'm on zbattle it'll be gundam

hit me up on aim if ya wanna have a game

aim=shinomni

[SaBrE]

it has nothing to do with having the same filenames. thats the beauty of zbattle. all it does is match the crc and such. it doesnt look at filename. but for a lot of games, there are various versions. like for killer instinct, theres 2 us versions, 1.0 and 1.1, then you have the euro version, the beta version and such. i wouldnt recommend using the dl option cuz the dl connection will time out immediately if the speed lags for like 2 seconds, and your rom will also dissappear. not worth it...

dreaded fist: if you got a linksys router, those instructions i had posted should work perfectly. i gave the instructions about in depth as possible. just no screen shots. if my instructions are failing for you, i dunno what the problem is cuz im not missing any steps in my direction. unless, your isp doesnt like all those changes. who knows

[Jappo]

Why do I get lag while playing through zbattle, but when I play with connected IP's, it works fine. What gives?:confused:

[SaBrE]

cuz you could be playing someone with 56k, or hes really far, or you didnt set the latency to 1, which is the best option for 2 people on good connections.

[Gen2000]

Eckostyle/SaBrE/anyone else: I'll be on for a while all day, look for for [SRK]Super Mario Kart- Match Races/Battle Mode, if all that fits, lol.

SaBrE, ya I know Bowser and DK are "supposed" to be the best, but I feel more comfortable with Koopa Troopa. Him and toad has great handles and a good balance of accel/speed to match anyone.

[Eckostyle]

I was on today. Me and Gen2000 had at it a couple of times in SMK. Even though he beat me like 8 times in a row, I still had fun(That race on Mario Circuit 2 was damn close and fun). Now I have to practice hard, so I can "reclaim" the skills I had in the XBAND days.

And props to Dreaded Fist for showing me what was wrong with ZBattle. You saved me a bunch o' downloads.

[kyosuke87]

Damn, bout time im up and running. I said fuck the router i'm just doin it straight to PC :D SN is JuJuMonkie...

[fatherbrain]

About this whole stick vs pad thing. I've never been able to use a stick quite as well as I can use a pad. I don't know why, but that's just the way it is. However, is there a specific brand of stick I should look for? Theres one requirement. It must be usb, as I have no normal ports on my computer, just 5 usb ports on the comp itself and 2 on the keyboard. (except the place where the moniter goes and the modem & sound card, my comp is all usb)

[JumpsuitJesse]

If you are used to a pad, then by all means stick with pads.

Get the Saitek P220 Digital USB Pad. 10 bux, and they sell them at Gamestop. Best controller out there for SF games on PC.

[SaBrE]

fatherbrain: that serial port on your sound card is the game port for gameport pads :D

yeah the saitek P series pads are best pc pads you can buy hands down. they arent the best pads ever for fighting games but damn good, and definitely the best pc pads ive ever used. its worth it

[Eckostyle]

Hows The Saitek P880 Analog for ZBattle(All games, not just SF)? I cant find the P220 anywhere in my area.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3062574639&category=3677&sspagename=rvi:1:1

Im hurting for a new pad, because my Logitech Action Wingman has an extremely shtty D-Pad.

Also, how do these 3-1 PC Joybox converters work? Just in case the P880 cant cut it?

http://www.jandaman.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=pcjoybox

Would it read a custom DC stick with a cherry switches? (I forgot the sticks name)

Also, does it map buttons correctly too? I hear most converters have shitty mapping.

[SaBrE]

p880 is exactly like the p220 except it adds analog support
personally, i think its fantastic for games. feels very ergonomic in the hands. best pc pads ive ever used. thank god too, cuz i think adapters are the devil! :D

[fatherbrain]

As i stated earlier, i have NO way of hooking anything other than USB in my system. sound card, built in sabre. but thx for the tip, i may buy a sound card soon. I want a good stick to learn how to use one properly. But my comp supports nothing but usb, damn you gateway!. btw, the system i have IS a relic, but it works great now that I've added some ram. (700 mhz 40 gig hd, 192 megs of ram.) But I still need a stick, for I am tired of using a flight stick for the playstation to practice stick motions. Btw, I find the ps1 dualshock the best fighting pad I have tried yet.

[SaBrE]

if its onboard sound, you should still have a gameport...

[Drizzt Do'urden]

any one wanna play ssf2??

I'll be on for a few hours

my aim is shinomni hit me up if you wanna play some SSF2 bust a move or GW ED

[fatherbrain]

Actually, I don't have a gameport at all. I bought a used gateway for 50$ and have worked on it a bit. I believe if I'm not mistaken that this comp was made for new comp users/owners, and so they made it 100% usb only. However, it's not all bad considering it's only the size of a small VCR and I can still upgrade it, lol.

[Gen2000]

Anyone here having problems logging onto zbattle? I get "Error, could not connect to server" msg everytime I try.

[four degrees 40]

yup yup, me too, i think maybe they are upgrading their servers or something. i dunno.

[SaBrE]

just been down for a couple days. no one knows the reason. i seen they take the server down cuz of a single individual before, and no one could provide screenshots of this "one guy" spamming. kinda ridiculous if you ask me. but oh well. its sucks that its down. its too bad people cant run their own servers. pretty crappy that we have to solely rely one a single server to play... oh well. admins arent even responding to the server issue in their forums. you would think they would say something, but wont

[unicron0000]

remember srk e-edge?

[Gen2000]

Ya, I looked at their boards and don't see any mention of server being down.

SRK E-dge was a good idea back in the day, a Zsnes version would be awesome right about now or an upgraded Callius(sp?) one if it supports CPS2 games (haven't heard anything new about Callius in like 2 years).

[DownBeatComa]

Is Zbattle down again? It worked a few hours ago.

[Veeb0rg]

Hey guys..

We at zbattle have been busily tracking a server side code bug that kept crashing the server..

A fix was implemented this morning.. all should be back to normal now.

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Was that before you wrote this message ? http://www.zbattle.net/

And another question Veeb. Is there the possibilty, that the whole forum is messed up now ? Meaning, that everything is erased. Anyway Veeb, I hope you are able to fix the problems

cya on newcon...Evil Ryu

[brian]

well, I guess its time we took matters into our own hands. Post your AIM or MSN Messenger handle here, and we'll hook up directly without the server.

my AIM: Brian94709

[SaBrE]

what i wanna know is, will there be a future zbattle to where the program is not restricted to only 1 server? cuz relying on only 1 server is harsh. i wish it had a kaillera server style(except for the kaillera netcode hehe), so you can make your own server and what not, so people will always have somewhere to go when 1 server goes down.

my aim is kig0d <---the 0 is a zero

or SaBr3 on IRC efNET #capcom

gimme a holla for some sf or ki matches...

[FistOfFury]

Hey Evil Ryu, so much for the SF2 tourney board lol, this put the final coup de grace on the tourney. Anyway, the above post from Veeb was before the whole zbattle.net down/HaX0ring incident.

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Hey FoF. U here 2 lol. Do you have more informations for us ?

[Veeb0rg]

Hey, Yeah that post was about 2 days before the server got hacked.

All the data is intact, but i'm sure you know that you can't just shurg off a compromised server. It will take me a bit to get everythign back up and running.

We will be back, and with a suprise.

and yes, there will be multiple server support in version 2 when it gets released. *no, thats not the suprise*

[SaBrE]

haha cool. thats good to hear bro. cant wait for the suprise...

also, would this hacker be that same one i saw on zbattle banned forums that threatened to hack if you didnt unban him? i dont believe in coincidences heh

[#GsT|Deserteur]

You probably mean that Pinguin guy. Yeah now I remember.
He was flaming around, because Veeb didn't unban him.
But I don't think it was him. To do something like this, u must have a lot of experience.

[Veeb0rg]

no actually i know who did it.

he's been crashing the server and was writing a bot program designed to cause havoc and whatnot on the server.

guess he didn't like the fact i banned his isp.

[Supernaut]

http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=470&lngWId=7

I had a chance to chat with this guy and we had a somewhat lengthy discussion about programming and his delphi bots. I'm surprised he did this, he always seemed like a decent guy.

*Also, check out the description for his "client-server" source.

[Maxstah]

Hey. I'm down for playing some ssf with the folks i usually play with. experienced players only please. Please leave a time that yer leaving aaim msg so i'm not replying to some 3 hr old msg.

oh yea aim nick ItsPooPoo .....(don't ask long story)

[SaBrE]

max: do you ever hit up irc anymore? i dont think ive see nyou on there in a while. if so, you know how to get a hold of me

That's good to hear, looking forward to v2. Keep up the good work.

[Eckostyle]

Same here. I'm sure this surprise in v2 is going to make ZBattle even more kick-ass. As always, scope me out as Eckostyle. I'll be getting a DC/Saturn/PSX converter soon, so I can ditch my shitty Logitech Wingman and start playing for real(I'm pretty sure you remember my sub-par performance last time we played, Gen2000 :P)


Oh, have any of you beat POLO at all? That guy's a beast.

[Gen2000]

Polo pretty much beasted on me in Match Race, I think I only beat him about 8 times while he got a good 30-40 wins on me, lol. Battle Mode was a different story, we went back and forth alot. Go figure.

[Vintage]

I believe this belongs here: Originally posted by Maxstah
Till Zbattle gets back up and running I got #zbattle opened up on efnet for people to hook up with each other to get their hadouken on. Guess the room can be for any game matching but i thought it just be easier then aim'ing people to play when u don't know if they can or are busy. ect.

[JumpsuitJesse]

Am I the only one having withdrawal pains from not having Zbattle???

Oh and I tried manual connections....no workie for some reason.

[SaBrE]

jsj: dont see how it wont work for you when zbattle is using the same shit to connect. just make sure udp is checkmarked. and you kept the port # at 7845 right?

[Maxstah]

yea for some reason i couldn't play jesse. must be operator error cuz no problem playing all the other folk.

Duran Duran still kicks ass.

[Jay Wang]

hrm, so it sounds like the server has been down for a while ...

is there anyone who woud like to play right now?

it's tuesday afternoon right now ...

everyone should just idle in #zbattle
!

[Digital Master]

When is the v2 coming out?

[Veeb0rg]

Good news.. I started the server recovery tonight. All is going well.. compiling a custom kernel as we speak.


Digital Master: Not for a while.

Hot damn, just in time when christmas break is just starting for me. :cool:

Keep up the good work!

[Vintage]

Well...just got HSF2. And I must say, I am greatly pleased. Can you say SSF2 chars with Turbo speed! Now that I have gotten it, the following needs to transpire:

1) get my SNES controllers modified for PSX support or obtain an adapter that allows such to happen

2) get a cabinet

3) get Jesse's adapter for his cabinet that allows console play on a cabinet

4) purchase a modded PS2 in addition with another HSF2

5) find a suitable & worthy arcade within the LA area (most likely UCLA or Camelot) and donate the cabinet

If I am successful in completing these 5 tasks (in no particular order of course), something new & interesting will take part for the first time ever. Pad guys will get the opportunity to play stick guys on EQUAL ground.

Some say it's just a dream, I say it's the future :cool:

THanks for all of your hard work, Vee!

[Veeb0rg]

the server it self is up, but i'm running into some routing issues.. hope to have them sorted out soon

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Fine, so maybe zbattle is up sometime this christmas vacations.
Good work Veeb.

[SiR_FoX]

www.gamebattles.com

What is this you ask?
A ZSNES league. In this league, you can play a bunch of games for rank. SSF2, UMK3, KI, Tecmo Super Bowl, Mario Kart, and a few others as well. Many of the SF players on here are true experts, and probably have no competition on this site but yourselves, but none-the-less the site itself is quite large with everything else it hosts such as Counterstrike and SOCOM2 clans/leagues. It's very proffesionally made and easy to understand. So if many of you experts come, the newer players will have someone to learn from. So jump on the bandwagon and go join up, kick some ass, train some newbs, and hope for ALOT more Street Fighter competition from this, as well as other games too. That is, if you're man enough.

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Hmm, this isn't the first Zbattle League. There were Leagues before. And this will go down like all the others.
Many people would probably just join such a League if it were an official from Zbattle itsself.

[Mokura]

I don't know why everyone's so surprised at strong play on a pad, but I've always been playing on a controller (never been good at sticks)

Anyway, some tips I use for pad :

First, I use the ball of my thumb instead of the tip. When going for DP on reaction, the most important thing for me to remember is to RELAX. I have developed a fast motion on P1 side and a slightly faster one on P2 side, so the main focus for me is to learn to rely solely on my reflexes. Letting go of defense is necessary. It may feel gutsy sometimes, but I've noticed if I try to do the DP too fast, I'll botch the whole thing. It takes a little relaxation for me to move my thumb from down-back to toward, but once I get there, the DP usually comes out just in time.

Also, practice against the computer. There you can try all the risky stuff. Go for the DP everytime, even if you're entirely too late. I try to perform the motion even if I've already been hit by the attack because it helps me to relax and makes me remember faster next time.

[SaBrE]

bleh, zbattle needs to get back up soon. this sucks. i need some ki comp, no one plays :( and very few are even decent enough for my tastes. where are you all!?!?!

[FatalFuryD]

Good game to mokura. This guy is very polite and he waited until I downloaded ROM. Your Dhalsim is insane man lol

[Mokura]

Thanks D. But I only used Sim in one fight; I may not have fared that well after too long.

[Eckostyle]

Will ZBattle ever be able to add multiplayer to DOOM, which could only have multuiplay via XBAND? That would be the shit, becase its damn near impossible to play The Ultimate Doom online with someone nowadays.

[SaBrE]

go play doom II instead. best of the series to date. and you can play online with like 12 other players. goto www.planetdoom.com and look in the news headlines

[Eckostyle]

Mad thank for the link, SaBrE. Now, off to my local bargain bin for DOOM2, if I can find it. I was lucky enough to find The Ultimate Doom in perfect condition for $7. I just had to play "Thy Flesh Consumed" on Nightmare.

Have you ever tried KIAME/U64EMU? I cant get them damn thing to run KI at all.


Also, when ZBattle comes back up, anyone up for a beginning-to-end romp in Final Fight 2? I used to love doing those with a friend back when I was little. :D

[fatherbrain]

hells yes! When I was in job corps, my roommate and I used to make it a nightly ritual to go thru the game before we went to sleep! if youre really up to it, we could play before then too. I been hit up a few times and used zsnes without zbattle. it's just like zbattle, but use aim...lol

Can you please tell me how you got it to work? I have all my file patchs mapped correctly, yet I still get an error message about some unnamed file when I try to run the rom.

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Hey Veeb, are the forums on already ?

[FistOfFury]

is #zbattle on efnet? I always go there, but there's never anyone there, except for this one guy that always idling. Veeb you're never on AIM when I am, I've been trying to message you but this is only place left I know where to contact you. I don't like email How about the newcon forums? :D

[SaBrE]

bump

yes on efnet. and damnit, zbattle seriously needs to come back. this is hella shitty. just wish we had some more news. im sure when it comes back tho, it will be better than ever

[Vintage]

*bump*

If you want to play LAG-LESS SF (notably OG SF) come to #Zbattle on Efnet via mIRC. We need new blood. And more specifically, Maxtah's Blanka is going senile :)

[Drizzt Do'urden]

I am looking for someone to play right now^_^

[TGC]

Sabre: you play KI on SNES? Is that a good arcade port?

Newayz last time i couldn't get Zbattle to connect for some reason...it would just freeze at like the connecting screen...newayz i'll play ya if zbattle gets back on, and i figure out how to work this shit.

Does being behind a router affect it at all?

[SaBrE]

tgc: technically, snes ki is far from accurate. mainly in the graphics department. gameplay is still solid however. changes would be some combos and not as many fun glitches, but there are snes specific glitches tho hehe. some of the combos that are gone required some of those glitches missing on snes. giving the hardware limitations, the port is VERY good. and the game is much better balanced than the arcade version. infinites are removed (i.e. cinder/eyedol juggle infinite). basically that was removed outright when the combo ender juggle glitch was entirely missing from the snes version, which kinda sucked cuz it made for more combos. only bad thing that came out of that glitch was cinder and eyedol infinite. also, characters like tj combo got a lot better on snes. his normals are faster and hes got a lot more unbreakable combos which is a huge neccessity in KI. granted, i'd rather take arcade ki over snes in a heartbeat, only thing annoying there is cinder infinite, but i like the snes version for what it is. and its highly playable.

if you ever wanna play it online, lemme know.

zbattle been down for like atleast 3 months. they wont give us any news whatsoever on the revival. at the end of december they said the netweork would be up shortly and thats the last we heard of it.

as for the router, yes thats a problem. you can play, but you have to do port forwarding. talk to me on aim whenever and we'll talk, ill help you out.

[Eckostyle]

I just hope it comes back soon. My Mario Kart skills are getting rusty as hell. I'm coming in 2nd - 4th against the 150cc CPU. :p

I wanna play some peeps in some SF Turbo too

[SaBrE]

you can still play people without zbattle, zbattle just makes it MUCH easier to find opponents. if you have a players ip adress, you can just boot up zsnes and log into it and play. its the exact same thing. zbattle is just a frontend for zsnes' online capabilities to help find opponents in a central location instead of trying to scour through forums, getting aim sn's and trying to get ip's...

like i said, get a hold of me on aim sometime and i'll show you

[Vintage]

Well....I just sent an email to Veeborg about the status of Z. I specifically asked him if Zbattle was coming back this calendar year. If I get a reply, I will fill you all in...

[Jude]

I've been brushing up on my KI skills, I haven't played anyone new in quite a while. I will be back on a fast connection in about 3 weeks or so. I'll hit you guys up for a few games then.

I did the same yesterday. Let's just wait...

[Veeb0rg]

jsut set an ETA of the end of this month. I'm going to be working with the guy who wrote the linux port to get it done.

[Vintage]

You know it's funny. I was on #Capcom the other day. I was asking around to see if anyone wanted to "try" Zsnes. Sure enough those foolz wrote it off us just another Kawaks/Mame emulator. Kids, Kawaks and Mame DO NOT HAVE BUILT-IN NETPLAY. Which is why you need a server like Kalliera. I know this point has been brought up numerous times, but I just had to vent :D

The ironic thing is if Mame or Kawaks (or another emu for that matter) had built-in netplay, they would be playing on it instead of complaining about how they will never get to play relatively lag-less matches online.

[Jude]

Veeb0rg, thank you very much. Your work is greatly appreciated.

[Vintage]

It looks like more & more people are slowly finding their way back to Zbattle. I guess it's good that there are still some strays over at #Zbattle. One never knows when the server may temporarily go down.

[Buktooth]

I used ZBattle for the first time today and I have to say, I'm really impressed. I played some guy at DBZ Hyper Dimension and he beat the living hell out of me with combos and tactics I didn't even know existed for this game. No lag at all... it's like I was in the same room as him. Oh, did I mention that the dude was playing in Holland?. Crazy shit. He even took me to the training mode and showed me the ropes.

ZBattle gets the Buktooth Seal Of Approval: 5 crazy faces.

unfortunatly, since the jackass won't behave, zbattle is back down.. until we get the code fixed.

I tried to be nice, putting it back up for everyone, but no, can't have that.

just remember kiddies.. it only takes one to pee in the pool

[ZERO Shift]

You mean, somebody had the audacity* to fuck with Zbattle again?


*lack of common fucking sense

[SaBrE]

buk: wth, you playing on zsnes now? tight! gimme a holla on irc to play some ssf2 or hf.

that peice of shit that was hacking away at the server last night, was actually acting nice to me earlier in the day. pretty gay tho. dont understand why morons have to resort to that... and you know its someone that reads the srk forums cuz where else was the news posted that zbattle was back up and that you had to redirect the .ini file? it sure as hell wasnt posted on the zbattle site...

veeb: you got an ip or anything on this guy?

[Gen2000]

Why is that guy messing with Zbattle anyways? Did someone kick his ass too hard in SSF2/KI/DBZ/SMK?

Oh well, can't wait for the new version so we don't have worry about stuff like that.

[TGC]

Damnit, you mean to say that zbattle was back online, and some fucker crashed it again??WTF?

Find that mofo and IP ban or someshit...if possible of course.

Pisses me off :mad:

*sigh*

It`s down again. If I ever get my hands on that hacker I`ll hang him by his balls.

dgv, max, jsj or whoever else that uses irc: anyone try that new znet program? its an mirc script for zsnes to detect users logged on to irc thats using the zsnes internet option? i just saw iut today and gonna try it out later tonight when i get home...

You mean you actually know which guy it is? He was talking to you? All Veeb needs is the username and he can find out.......but I remember him telling me he can't trace him or something. Proxy? ISP won't give out name?
I'm sure the FBI can do something about this? They have like an internet crimes department or something. You should call them Veeb, and they'll get rid of this fucker, I'm tired of 4 year old hacker folk that hide behind their keyboards thinking they can do and get away with anything. People like that need to seriously grow up. My PC security instructor once told me everything on the net leaves a fingerprint.

Well, I figured the identity of this fucker was fairly common knowledge, considering that I posted a link to some of his suspicious sample source code snippets (keylogger anyone?) a long time ago in this thread. At one point he even had a delphi zbattle bot available for download, but it's no longer listed.

For shits and giggles here's a link to some of his info again: http://www.pscode.com/vb/authors/ShowBio.asp?lngAuthorId=228220911&lngWId=7

I'm sure many long time zbattlers will be familiar with his aliases (codecaine, c_lisp).

[FistOfFury]

Yea, I don't know his username. I know that pscode website, but IIRC there's other pages with the same thing, like mirrors or something.

[#GsT|Deserteur]

Man, this sux.

[SaBrE]

fools need to hit up znet. theres a community of players there. its not as easy to uyse as zbattle but its definitely pretty badass!

[SaBrE]

okay i been messing with this z-net program, and its way good, theres a community of players on it, everyone needs to convert to z-net. i been playing people on it lately, better than waiting forever for zbattle...

[Vintage]

I wouldn't say "convert," but it is a nice alternative UNTIL Zbattle returns. The earlier versions (which I tried about 2 weeks ago) were anything but user-friendly. The newer versions on the other hand, are relatively user-friendly. The only drawback with Z-net lies with the fact that it operates through mIRC which will deter a lot of people. Especially those who thought Zbattle was pretty hard to set up...

[SaBrE]

thats true, i should have worded it better. just a nice temp replacement. something to tide us over til zbattle ever picks up again. the new znet version works pretty well. but it still gets picky at times with filenames when connected to certain people. just wish everyones roms were with goodsnes standards

[FistOfFury]

z-net is cool, I've been using it since like the day it came out, and it is progressing nicely with each new update. I still miss zbattle though :(

[ShAix510]

How do you connect to zbattle server? I keep on getting Error connecting to server. I also tried that TCP UDP 7845 and 400 ports for router.. but still doesn't work. How do u guys get it to work?

It's down at the moment. patience...

[Vintage]

Well, it is indeed up & running right now. I guess with Z-net too, we have 2 incarnations of Xband, Snes & Genesis :cool:

[Serpent]

Is there any way to set it so that znet isnt the default mirc program when I click a link in IE? I do a lot of downloading using xdcc packets and url links and znet just doesn't work well for me when its popping up like that.

Also, no one seems to want to play HF :( I don't even know this game, but I thought it would be fun.

I dunno how you guys set it up...but I still get button delay. I don't get lag on kaillera if I'm playing a game like HF, the server is good and the other persons connection is good. Znet takes out the lag more reliably (a dummies version of it, less variables you need to control yourself) but the delay seems to still be there for me. I usually kind of need to predict and guess on stuff. Or maybe its that moves are harder to input in older games?

More people should play HF...and maybe I need a better connection.

[Hanzou]

Meh. After going through all that BS trying to set this up, getting the roms, and etc. I'll just wait for SFAC on XBL.

Besides, SSF2 sucks.

[SaBrE]

ssf2 is actually decent on snes. its a lot better than the arcade version, thats for sure. z-net is confusing if you dont know irc very well.

Serpent,

Did you set the button latency to 1 when you played? If so you shouldn't receive any type of button delay when playing. Also, are you using a psx to usb adapter as I know some of them are known to produce a slight button delay.

As for HF, IMHO SSF2 is a better game (snes wise). For some strange reason, after playing ssf2, whenever I attempt to play HF it just feels sluggish (the controls). This only happens to me on the snes version of HF...go figure. With the addition of the speed settings, ssf2 on snes pwns its arcade counterpart. Besides that, SSF2 Ryu short hurricane kick = endless mindgames = 2 good! :D

Its nice to know that if AE sucks on Live due to horrendous lag, I can at least play some OG SF with virtually no lag on Zbattle & Z-Net. :cool:

[Airthrow]

I will be setting this up tommorow. Can anyone tell me the most commonly played games on this? What fighters are good other than SSF2? Can you get 4p games like on kaillera? (mario kart :) )

[Serpent]

Then it could be an issue with the SNES HF.

I didn't like SSF2 in the arcades...I think its a horrible game. It is largely because of the...extreme sluggishness of the game though. I'll try this out on SNES on Z-Net just as soon as someone can help me with the IRC thing I mentioned earlier. Its probably a simple matter of somehow making my regular IRC program the default...does anybody have any clue what I'm talking about?

[*InVeRs3*]

someone play me in ssf2 DAMNIT. I'm inverse DAMNIT. PLAY ME DAMNIT. YOU FUCKERS. PLAY ME BEFORE YOU FUCK YO SELF FUCKERS. O FUCK YES FUCKY MC FUCK FUCK.

[Vintage]

Well, it looks like more & more people are showing up on both Zbattle & Z-net that can actually play. Serpent, huh, no one really likes the CPS version of SSF2. However, most of us all agree that the Snes version is far better.

There was a Jumpsuit sighting yesterday! It's about time Jesse. We all thought you got lost in Kalliera or something :D On a relatable note, we have spotted Endy in Kalliera. Seems that he too was having a difficult time biding time until Zbattle came back. I just hope that lag on AE is somewhat consistent to that of the lag of Zsnes Netplay. If it is, I will definitely be on XBL moreso than either Z-net or Zbattle. However, if the lag isn't, then I will still call Zsnes Netplay, home :cool:

[Airthrow]

edit

[SaBrE]

do not discuss about how to obtain roms or anything. read my damn sticky. should be common knowledge

[Airthrow]

I am talking about through Zbattle, some people have the option to let you download the game off them if you don't have it disabled.

I think it would be pretty retarded if we could discuss Zbattle but not one of it's features.

[SaBrE]

retarded or not, you CANNOT discuss in any way how to obtain roms or ask for them. emulation is not illegal, however, roms are if you dont own it. srk tries to stay within the legal limits. so whether you try to justify it or not, it will do no good, you just DONT DO IT or it will result in a ban

[Airthrow]

Edited so you can lower your bloodpressure anytime now.

[SaBrE]

howabout you not be a smartass? how would you feel if rules of this shit is posted right in front of everyone yet it goes ignored? it gets old really fast

What were the changes made? I'm curious, as I haven't seen ssf2 in arcades as much as ST.

[Airthrow]

It's over. Chill.

[SaBrE]

4negs, the main change was speed. that was the main reason why ssf2 in the arcade was terrible. on snes you can go up to 3 stars, makes the game playable. plus theres no zangief glitch driver. granted, if the arcade version actually had some damn speed, it would kill the snes version, but it doesnt.

[RoninChaos]

Man, wtf.

[4neqs]

Thanks. Might try this sometime soon (though I suck at SF2 :p). If it does as good on a 56k as advertised, I'll try it one day.

[Nocturnal]

Just wondering if anyone else has been having problems logging into Zbatlle. Is it down at the moment? If not then I have a probl with mine...every time I log on it doesn't show any list of games people want to play. I hope it's not just me, also I just recently got znet...so far still trying to get the hang of setting things up. Doesn't seem very difficult...well I'm gonna try to play some peps right now to see how well it works. Later.

Jaime

[eddymasta]

Yo guys. I just got a problem.

A while back, I had Zbattle working fine and everything, thanks to a program that opens ports and disables firewalls automatically so you can play games that require those ports, and everything was good. But now that I got a new computer, I am having the same problem again.

I have tried disabling my firewall myself, but nothing is working. all the things to disable it you guys are describing aren't working for whatever reason. If anyone has a link to that program that automatically opens firewalls and ports, it would be MUCH appreciated.

[Vel]

is there any kind of zbattle league?

[beto]

GGs to konok in Super SF2. There were some good close matches.

[Dark Gaiden]

GGs Eddymasta....yea, try and get either a Snes/Saturn pad or stick

[eddymasta]

True, gg's

I'll try and get a new pad, although i'm guessing that even if I get a new one, you'll still rock me :)

[Mokura]

Fun SSF2 games with Invers3, but u kicked me b4 I got a good pic of the records. We'll have to play later.

2 words: he's scared.

he refuses to play me cuz he feels he is definitely not ready to play me again. hes not bad or anything, but he wont play me yet. probably doing secret sessions. i hope its worth it. cuz EVERYONE on zbattle sucks extremely bad. :( oh well, maybe someone good will come along. he'll im hoping for an average player...

[DVS1]

Wow that sounded like someone who also brags about being good in a horrible game. Izzat you K9?

[SaBrE]

uh im bragging? he will even tell you that. yeah it's such a crappy game cuz you said so. probably uneducated opinion. plus i know the guy we were talking about. you know nothing. there literally are no good players on zbattle. its 100% fact. think before you post

while i don't have direct hands on the code kinda access.. I am in contact with the programmers, and I do guide the general design and features.

as for shutting it down again, we seem to have nipped the problem in the butt for right now, so we'll see..

[Moloko]

GG's to DG and V !
I learned much in our late night session, and i practice daily.
GG's to Gummy and Evil as well, so many good players on z battle, it's amazing.

[Maxstah]

hrm new zbattle comp? I haven't played in quite some time *vintage DG holla* is omar on there playing anymore i forget to ask him*endy*i'm lazy but if new comp is on its always fun to play new people. I'm sure he hasn't played a blanka player on there yet

[beto]

GGs to Moloko in Super. I'm really enjoying these zbattle matches. I haven't had this much fun in years and while playing brought back memories.

[Jay Wang]

soooo
i haven't had time really to go on zbattle lately ... mostly cause of work and stuff ... but even if i did, i wouldn't be able to play cause my pad busted!!!!

my old pad was called the "thrustmaster" (seriously, www.thrustmaster.com)

anyways, can anyone reccomend me a good and cheap pad for pc?

thanks!

[Moloko]

GG's to Beto,JSJ, Gummy, Nok, I am probably missing someone.
So many good players, I used to have to drive around to find them.

[Mokura]

GGs DV. Ur shotos are tough and really impressed me for a kb user.

[CigarBoB]

[Jay Wang]

i miss playing zbattle! :(

lol


anyways, can someone reccomend me a good 6 button pad? (6 face buttons .. none of that trigger shit)

thanks1!!

[TheOnlyOne]

Jay Wang....

try the Saitek controllers. thats the one I use, it's got a 6 button face and it's got one of the best pad for a comp D-Pad IMO

[isamu]

Can anyone tell me what happened to ZSNES' forums? They've been down for like a month now.

[PsychoMistress]

Also, are you using a psx to usb adapter as I know some of them are known to produce a slight button delay.

I suppose that applies to DC - USB too. Damnit, that explains a lot :mad:

[Battosai]

When I open the zsnes it has a black screen, how do I get the emulator running?

I allready configured it to 16 bit color and have latest direct x.

I got the emulator to work before when I had, but deleted it and forgot how to set it up. Please elaborate on how to open the emu sucessfully

[pulpasis]

When Zsnes loads up hit alt+enter to enter full screen mode. If it works its probably a video driver issue which is preventing you from from playing in a window. Try downloading the latest drives for you graphics card.

[Battosai]

It worked thanks..

I am using cable a wireless router, so will zbattle still work?

I tried to join a game but, the player said its ethier a firewall of the router.

Cool.

Zbattle will work fine with a router but you will need to forward udp port 7845 in/out (to connect to other players) and tcp port 4000 in/out (for downloading). At the moment these ports are closed which is why you are having problems connecting to other players.

To forward (open) these ports you will have to access your routers configuration page so you will need to know the ip address of your router which you can obtain from your manual or the manufacturers website. This number is usually entered into the address bar of your web browser. (Sorry i cant be of any more help here the ip address of a router differs from manufacture to manufacture). Once you gain access look for something called “Port forwarding” or Network Address Port Translation (NAPT).

There are some really good tutorials on how to set up port forwarding if you are unsure. Check out the support section in zbattle forums (http://forums.newcon.org)

If you are using windows xp you will also need to turn off the built in firewall. To do this go to the control panel>Network and Dial-up Connections then right click on the "Local area connection" that you are using and uncheck "protect my computer".

[white silver]

em im gona be the best at ssf2 on zbattle im allready like the 4rth best and 1 week with the game :p

[Bockstieger]

Whitesilver ...you funny guy. You could be stand up comedian with jokes like this. I beat u easily, infact i only play at 20% efficiency...and i STILL win!!! There are plenty of players better than me let alone you...a alot more than four...and u think you are 4th best???

LMAO!!! You are too funny!

You are number one for comedy in zbattle, no one can touch you at that :D

[Dios <-X->]

can someone teach me how to get Z battle, cuz i only use Znes ip connect as of now, and im pretty ignant at the intreweb so aim me if you can teach me + are down for games.

i play SF2 turbo SSF2 and KI as of now....more to come later on.

you are joking right? dont be self proclaimed 4th. i guaruntee you there are hella more than 3 players better than you. and how can you say you are 4th best on zbattle after a week of playing? did you play me, dgv, atmos, gummy, jumpsuit jesse? fuck no you havent. and theres others too that i cant think of right now. back up some words and play me. if you cant beat me, you are not even close to "4th best"

[Bockstieger]

Hey Sabre

This guy is comidian dont u know??? Hes number one on Zbattle at comedy :D We leave him to the jokes.

I have never fight with u. Want fight ??? Let me know when u want to fight. I see u in Zbattle.

[JumpsuitJesse]

I don't think there is one person on Zbattle who totally dominates everyone. Each good player that I have faced has their own talents and weaknesses.

I am noticing one thing about almost everyone I play...I force them to turtle up :D

[Tam]

holy crap this place does exist LOL
didn't know people had a zbattle topic up on SRK LOL

anyway my name is *game_tip* on there

I've decided I would become good enough to kick Vintage's butt in one month ^_^ so anyone on there feel free to whup my ass hardcore style in SSF2


hahaha :) nice to meet you all

[Nocturnal]

It's been a while since I've played peps in Zbattle...just look for my name Nocturnal on Zbattle. I'm always wiling to play anyone most of the time...see you guys there. Later.

Jaime

[Serpent]

I would play on Znet but nobody wants to play. Some people are just total dicks, like that gumby guy. He refused to play me (I guess I'm not 'worthy' of playing him...he'd rather sit there whining about not having anyone to play against), and then talks shit about dgv (Dark Gaiden/Vintage) using macros. With assholes like that...why bother? At least dgv plays people. I played dgv and Darth Ryu (I think that was the name) and it was kinda fun. Had games with inverse too I think (I forgot). If more people played, it would be cool. But usually it looks like people just idle.


Edit- Read the thread title...guess Ill try this ZBattle thing out if its different than Znet.

This is why i quit kaillera. too many stupid nerds online.

[Tam]

aye kicking his ass 10 times in a roll haha okay

Dark Gaiden and Vintage eh lol :)
they are the ones who taught me to play the game xD

=X they should know my skill by now =X I'M GONNA RAPE YOU TWO!! lol xD

jk

Day 1

Gumby does a lot of tick throws man... >_< I can't counter that stuff how do I counter it? he does it so well kind of

like...

Ryu jump hk or mk then walks up to me and throws

simple like that and I'm busting out the c. lk button like mad crazy >_< how do I counter that?

I also faced Atmos he whup me with his Chun and Dhalsim but his Dhalsim is okie =P so is his Chun but I keep getting messed up by Chun's close stand hk

sometimes I don't know what way to block then he can do all sorts of stuff to me like tick throw or repeated c. mks

ahhhh HELP @_@ lol
any help is appreciated thanks in advance :)

Day 2

fought some guy named Dramatics his skill level seems to be around mine at the moment

the final score was 10-5 Dramatics win, lots of Ryu vs. Ryu matches

I'll be back with questions! >_< lol
actually I have one question
when it's Ryu vs. Ryu and I'm corner trapped with fireballs

is it good to miss the lp fireball with a shoryuken or jump back and fight back with a fireball of your own to push him back then jump forward or something bah I'm stuck against Ryu's corner trap also

and Dhalsim's c. lk -> throw after being knocked down from the air @_@ I use Ryu most of the time so Shoryuken is the thing to do right? but when do I do it? sometimes I'm just randomly trying to bust it out whenever but it never works oh well

any help is appreciated!! lol

this is what's happen so far hahaa

[pulpasis]

lol sorry Jesse, i got booted off my isp just as i asked if you were rdy to play. When i tried to reconnect to z it said that i couldnt log in twice with the same ip. Next time bro :)

[Tam]

Day 2 Continued

wow >_< end of the day I started winning some of my matches lol
12-5 against Takoi (z-net) and 10-0 against Konok (zbattle) and Atmos bah he beat my ass 11-2 lol

Takoi has a good chun but he can't handle ticks either like me
I realized that specials get rid of recovery when someone hits you right before the throw so planning to practice that

also I remember there some guy who used to walk up to me right before I was about to wake up and he hit Ryu's c. mk then linked it with something else into a fireball

well I could never srk on wake up maybe it was just me but ... can you hit a normal right before their wake up which would stop the invincible shoryuken? and could someone tell me the timing?

thanks in advance

[SaBrE]

lol i just played some dude called jojomojo or something. what a joke, dude gets a win or 2, then types "OWNED" then leaves. rofl. online egos kill me!
