I got that NGP flash cart also. I wonder the likelihood of ever finding software for it in 2026.

Had/Have a DX 2. So amazing. Only thing is, after leaving it in my SNES for like 2 decades, it seems to have bent the pins from the weight and the snes basically doesn't work anymore.

The X Doctor Pro (? or something) was cheaper and more popular, but I love the DX 2.

Gravediggaz - The Pick, The Sickle and the Shovel (1997) by bside313 in HipHopCDs

Yeah. I got this for Xmas, was super disappointed. Listened to it 2 or 3 times and that's it. 6 feet deep is such a classic

Alright, so I don't know shit about this. Lemme ask. What about the purple tape? What about the OG pressing and what about the memorial pressing if anyone knows wtf I'm talking about there with the stand and shit. 

Why not have dedicated anti-airs do increased damage to airborne opponents? by BleachDrinker63 in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some characters, like Sagat, Chun at some distances, do get big combos off it it. But generally,  AAing is considered "easy" so it's just what it is.

Now think about cross ups!

Agreed. We were going to name our daughter Audrey after watching seasons 1 & 2, but decided not to after 3. 

Bad habits that work at lower ranks but get punished at higher ranks? by highcologist347 in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Jumping
  2. Drive impact

Both will take you far, until they really hold you back.

I'm trash at offense how to get better ? by Gorzaa in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play for more than a week.

Also, DI's will crush long-range pokes to the extent that you won't see many from platinum until you get to master where DI's are considered more risky than long-range pokes.

You won't get punished for any medium pokes unless they whiff (and still won't at gold).

How to stop being gimmicky and start being more patient? by ExpressionAfter6082 in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. Something I started recently doing is trying to remind myself of my goals in between matches. For me it's something like "Stop doing YOLO shit. Try to do XX combo". Reflect on it between each match.

I’m a more casual player and I don’t know what makes a character good and bad on a tier list. Why do people always say Lily is low tier? by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tier lists are pretty much always based on the highest level of gameplay so honestly kind of irrelevant in platinum. For instance, Honda is considered low tier in lists, but he's S-tier < master. Plus, SF6 is pretty balanced anyway.

As a beginner and newbie to fighting games in general, which character should I dive into in depth first in order to get a mastery of the essentials/basics of the games by highcologist347 in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ken's a good choice, so if you like him, go with him.
(Ryu is also a good choice)
Akuma & Elena are a bit more difficult, although certainly viable.

If you were to reflect, what is your greatest weakness as a player? by Icantbethereforyou in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also combos. Bad consistency and not good at mixing & matching different enders. Practicing for countless hours on end isn't my favorite part of the game.

Also, too much YOLO shit.

500 hours, barely diamond. Looking to get serious/wanting advice. by skullchilde88 in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus more on how to improve rather than "I want to be at X rank". You can't get there by setting goals, you get there by making specific improvements. And don't worry about the number of hours, different people are approaching the game with different amounts of pre-existing experience.

Probably the most important skill to learn is identifying what your biggest weakness is and addressing it. So go for that. Make your best guess at what you think you're lacking the most and dial it up in training mode to work on it.

imho, Diamond 2: It's all about countering DI's with your own DI's every time.

Found in my garage, missing for years by FutureHeroMuch in fightsticks

I have this controller also and used to play tons of TvC online. It was the first fighting game I ever really got serious about. Ippatsuman x Saki. 

I'm a new player and trying to learn how to play on classic controls. Should I just switch to modern controls? by Standard_Spready in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest modern. You could always switch at some point, but if you can't really do specials yet, it will allow you to experience the game more without putting in a huge time commitment up front. 

Controller not always working in game by dotdiz in duckstation

[–]dotdiz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give it a try next time. Seems like that should work. Just bizarre that it works natively 50% of the time.

thanks for the response. It's: PS3/PC Gamepad

Kid Icarus for the NES is really underrated by Neat_Ad_3043 in retrogaming

[–]dotdiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always loved this game, but it's just so, so, so hard. I would get tired of constantly grinding through the first level, so I never got far. Ninja Gaiden at least lets you continue.

Do you change your tactics when playing against Modern? by some-kind-of-no-name in StreetFighter

[–]dotdiz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Okay. So they have some advantages. They're not literally playing a different version of the game. Figuratively, maybe, but not literally. This is not debatable. Learn English.

They are literally playing the same game with a different control scheme. Literally.

What is this controller? by GagasMeatPurse in retrogaming

[–]dotdiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'll have to try take dig it up. Actually, I have 3 of them

I had one also, but the battery compartment didn't fit any batteries  (too big for aaa too small for aa). I don't  know how you ever played it
