I would have one suggestion, and it’s one that I know will be ill recieved by a number of players. We have arcade perfect versions of every tournament game now, ST included. It’s simply impractical to run any major tournament on cabinets now. With consoles, it’s faster to run, people can use their own sticks, and there’s way less hassle overall. There’s no reason that ST should take even half as long as it did last year, as fast as that game plays.
You’re kidding right? You realize that the PS2 version of ST has major issues…
MWC is always going to have arcade cabinets in their tourneys no matter what. As much as everyone wants to emulate the Japanese, everyone simply forgets how much they shun console and how much of a difference their skill level is console to arcade. They don’t really play console, or consider it an accurate depiction of skill, and all their majors are on arcade. While I do realize it is much easier to run things on console, there are no “arcade perfect” versions of ST, A3, CVS2, or MVC2. CVS2 and MVC2 have speed issues, albeit small, but they are there, but they are the most playable. ST is a total mess. THe Alpha Anthology has game lag (non HDTV), both this and CCC2 are based off emus, and suffer from certain issues. Play them side by side on cabinet/supergun and you might see what I am talking about…
About the console cabinet issue, if you think it’s better judge of skill with people sitting cross legged on the floor instead of on a cabinet, I’m not sure what to say to that.
And no, this is not a slight against your tourney shinblanka, you know where I stand on arcade/console…
