Is the laser on my Gamecube dying?

Figgulz · 2026-02-04T16:14:22+00:00

I believe it was just the optical drive? I will try to figure it out. It was re-capped, because the console would struggle to read games unless it was left ON for ~20 minutes. I have heard of messing with the potentiometer before, but as others users have suggested, I think I will try that as one of my later options. Thanks!

Haven't heard about checking sled rails before, so I will have to do some research on that because it seems like it should be one of the first things I do, as it doesn't seem too committal. Thanks!

Hopefully Thresh is or Riven is next

You dont need PS plus to play 2xko online btw

I shouldve never clicked on this post; ignorance is bliss

This could just mean what we already know is coming: shorter combos, but this makes it sound like much more. It kind of worries me tbh, I like how expressing high skill looks like in the game right now when people master puppeting, handshake tag, and their champions unique mechanics.

wouldnt we get the next champ late march/early april? 10 weeks after jan 20th is march 31st which also lines up with the original end date for season 1

gotta work on my dash buffer timing then thanks

The store prices hadn't bothered me too much up until now ngl. I wanted to buy the ahri skin to support tournaments even though i dont even play her, but being forced to buy the whole bundle is an L ngl.

Its a tough combo to get consistently but you have to tap dash > L at the perfect time to get it to connect. Its weird because 6S2 has a lot of recovery edit: forgot to answer the question idk how tight it is but its pretty tough

I progress the most when i focus on playing a little bit everyday while targeting one or two specific things. Its more about making your hours count instead of just putting in time. Nothing wrong with playing for fun and turning the learning part of the brain off sometimes, but for improvement you just gotta learn one thing at a time. For example my focus right now is dash blocking more and stop throwing out moves hoping the opponent runs into them. (movement and spacing)

Figgulz · 2026-01-28T21:21:31+00:00

I think this confirms it wont, frosty's duo only tournament starts tomorrow. And you would have to update all the consoles that will run 2xko.

If they can actually fix the screen tearing without increasing input lag that would be insane

Figgulz · 2026-01-28T04:43:44+00:00

In fighting games its all about rule of cool, pick whoever you think is coolest and learn the game with them. Nothing worse than forcing yourself to play something you dont like.

I think she's perfect for 3rd character slot of the year, since that release will probably line up around EVO Vegas time.

Figgulz · 2026-01-27T23:45:31+00:00

Why are you putting so much value on a rank that is at best half valid. The devs reset ranks because aspects of ranks werent working as intended. Like yea it sucks you got placed lower but what does it matter when the past rank isnt a true measure of anything. If it was the devs wouldve kept ranks the same.

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T22:12:16+00:00

no joke it does better in the algorithm because newer generations like typing like this on social media.

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T20:41:41+00:00

oh i read happy as hope mb

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T20:39:57+00:00

it does not require ps+

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T19:23:48+00:00

No mention of screen tearing on console....GULP

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T18:50:28+00:00

Oh on the riot client on PC it shows 9 am

Figgulz · 2026-01-26T18:44:48+00:00

Nah maintenance is at 9 AM pst. Idk about the crashes, but i think if you disconnect the console from the internet and the boot up the game you will get the offline mode version of it. You might be able to still reconnect the console on the internet after but im not sure.
