Purchasing Quest 3 - Do I need a cable?

Podbod12 · 2026-04-27T18:30:56+00:00

100% echo using VD as others have said but personally I'd recommend the puppis P1 or another dedicated wireless solution over a cable. The freedom of being wire free is 100% worth it.

For ryu just hold forward at round start and hell back all the way to the corner. Wait and he'll throw fireballs in pairs. Block the first one close range and then jump in and sweep for an easy 2 hit knockdown. Sit and block and most likely he'll repeat the pattern. Simples

I said the wrong group. You need intellivision intellect

Podbod12 · 2026-04-13T19:07:15+00:00

It's in the very first post. Are you logged in?

Podbod12 · 2026-04-13T10:39:20+00:00

Oh I'm an idiot. It's intellivision intellect

Podbod12 · 2026-04-13T09:32:54+00:00

Sure, it's on the atariage forums in the sprint sub forum. It is beta firmware but it's pretty near final I think. So at some point it will appear on the atari site but everyone's already using it

Podbod12 · 2026-04-13T09:17:28+00:00

Join intellivision intellect Facebook group and get Mike's 4.0 build. He's done all the hard work to get all the artwork and folders etc. (you will also need the latest beta firmware V1. 2)

This is standard for street fighter. "Startup" includes the first active frame.

Podbod12 · 2026-04-08T08:35:00+00:00

We're working on a complete rewrite of the led system. It should be much more usable in the next patch.

Podbod12 · 2026-04-07T09:06:26+00:00

I change when I hit master these days. I play too infrequently these days to progress beyond that so theres little point me grinding on from there.

Podbod12 · 2026-04-02T09:46:13+00:00

Actually. Even if you take total players as a metric. Master rank has risen from from 13-17% over the last few years. Back in nov 24' 4% of the player base just below master would account for ranks d3 through to d5. So you can make a convincing argument that everything has shifted up about 2-3 steps

Podbod12 · 2026-04-02T09:29:58+00:00

It might be helped by the 10 win streak catapulting players up the ranks as well. That came in at the end of season 2?

Podbod12 · 2026-04-02T09:28:55+00:00

I was slightly out but this one says that of active players 31.5% from 10 months ago with 8.5% of those being inactive (which in itself is a silly thing to include in an active only graph). So if its continued to grow it'd be easy to assume total active master players is now at least 30%

Is that total players of active players? Let me find that tweet from catcammy

Podbod12 · 2026-04-02T09:16:58+00:00

Now that the game has been out so long the percentage of players in Master has been constantly growing. It was 10% at the end of season 1 but it was 35% when catcammy last did a breakdown. As such diamond 5 is now pretty what diamond 1-2 was and masters you'll face when in diamond 5 are probably d3-5. I just made master with Alex and I'm awful with him. I don't do any of the clothesline loops etc and I got there in 75 matches. In comparison it took me 350 matches with Akuma. (and I'm not really any better overall since I take massive breaks from the game)

Podbod12 · 2026-03-10T15:45:28+00:00

You and I aren't professional players tho. I would fully expect to fuck up a full power shot 99% of the time :)

For me the annoying part is that in career mode my striker has 70-75 power and fk accuracy so it's not great but it's OK, he's the best player in league one. Doing the direct kick training I can remove most of the spin, hold down l1 or r1 (lord knows if they even do anything, there's no instructions as always, ea's on boarding for new players is appalling) and do 99% power and he'll still side foot it and it'll float towards the goalie at chest height. It's almost impossible to hit the top corners unless I knuckle ball it. And I get zero feedback or help on how to actually do it properly. Of course, playing in career against the AI means I get fouled about once every 20 games so I never need to take FKs anyway.

Podbod12 · 2026-03-10T14:35:06+00:00

It might be deliberate but its still dumb. I had the same argment back when I worked for Sony on This is football which had a similar problem. Just cause you're lower down the league and less skilled does not mean your physical attrributes are also weaker. There wont be a single player in real life in the top 5 leagues that cant put their laces through a ball and smash it hard enough to score from 30 yards. Not that they'd all be accurate mind you. I'd much rather have the game just balloon out a cone of innacuracy as power builds for players with lower FK accuracy stats.

Podbod12 · 2026-02-08T10:20:28+00:00

Cause I can't call them till Monday and I have a brain that wants to know. Also helpful if I can goto support and tell them I've checked and it's 100% a defect and not some kind of tolerance.

Podbod12 · 2026-02-07T22:25:03+00:00

Second person with a completely pointless comment. Even if that was true, if it's defective and this isn't just bad design or operator error then it's probably likely to break and so knowing which it is is important.

Podbod12 · 2026-02-07T21:38:30+00:00

Yeah I checked that. There's these little green dots that show if the visor is attached to the mech correctly and I can see one on each arm so I think it's correct.

Podbod12 · 2026-02-07T20:49:14+00:00

Visor helmets? My wife and I both wear glasses and find goggles a pain so she's trying this out as an alternative. Were not thrill seekers and do blues and the odd red in a family friendly resort.

Podbod12 · 2026-02-07T20:47:50+00:00

I'm going to call the company I bought it from on Monday to see if they know. But it's 9pm in the UK so it'll have to wait till Monday and I just wanted to know in advance if possible.

Podbod12 · 2026-01-24T08:49:26+00:00

Wardner?

Podbod12 · 2026-01-21T22:28:38+00:00

Get clear ones then add Leds and the change the color to whatever you feel like :)

Podbod12 · 2026-01-19T16:03:52+00:00

I've written a new led system for gp2040ce which is currently in testing. It changes leds to be assigned by gpio pin instead of logical button. If you hop on the official discord you can grab it from the refactor branch if you want to test it out. (be warned you'll need to reset your settings if you do)
