Ryoko - Ryoko enter singles more, its a waste of talent not to, also stop switching arounds tv's cables ... at velocitys smashfest you put diff cables on and it lagged and I played bad so did m2k.. Also i don't care if you think stuff lags or not i just want to play on regular tv's that look normal and not all bright that big screen gave me a headache although it probably wasn't the brightness it was probably sitting too close.. anyway leave the tv's alone. ><
I don't like entering tournaments at all these days because each time I wind up disappointing myself somehow and lose money/self-esteem. My performance with CopyCat today was a bit of a downer, though it was fun randomly teaming with him for the first time. I always have the most fun with Smash whem screwing around in friendlies, anyway.
And about that schpiel about me switching cables, bite me. The case at Velocity's was purely a pursuit of knowledge. When he told me that 480i component lagged on his SDTV, I had a lot of trouble believing it. So when we were all there the his smashfest, he let me take the time to hook component, composite, S-video, then back to component so we could evaluate any lag. By the end of this I was convinced that there was indeed a small lag generated on his TV when using the component in, but looking back on it I did forget to switch the cables back to composite. If it bothered you, you didn't even have to say anything to me about it, you could've just switched to the standard cables yourself at any given moment since Velocity was on that TV with you pretty much the whole time and would let you. However, you didn't say anything. You know this is what I study for the purpose of helping others with their TV lag problems, and I don't appreciate you dissing it.
As far as this tournament, I wanted more playable setups, and given the previous experience with using component cables on this specific HDTV model at CCX and the previous day at TGP (where most of the tournament matches were actually played on the HDs because of the lag on the other TVs), I figured no harm would come from using my component hook ups with the two HDs present, which greatly reduced (if not eliminated) the lag, and also produced an extremely vibrant, clean picture. I was not expecting them to turn into tournament setups myself, and did not force anyone to play on them for tournament outside of having a few people including WoZ play friendly games to experience the vast improvement in lag and picture quality.
If you don't care about playing on a TV that isn't "normal," one could just as easily say that they don't really care for playing on "normal" TVs. As an example, I personally prefer playing with a proper HDTV setup. Since everything is so clear, many critical onscreen objects are more easily visible that would otherwise be very tough/impossible to spot on normal TVs, like the double jump rings. Noticing those can be the difference of life and death when you're trying to escape combos. It's also a heck of a lot easier to get 4-player games seated around one where everyone has a good view of the playfield. TV preferences will clash, and that's not something you can hope to make a one-sided argument about, aside from the fact that no one likes lag.
Btw for the record velocity and myself think component cables still lag, so thats more than just me since you said EVERYONE else didn't have a problem with it.
Bass an electrical engineer said component cables still lag
The component cables by themselves don't create any more lag then the composite cables do, whose signals also need to be processed by a Y/C separator in all TVs btw, even the amazing Magus TV. Whatever processing delay occurs in SDTVs is entirely subjective to how the particular model processes the signal it is receiving. What you said here holds no more truth than saying that no SDTV will lag when "regular" cables are used, a theory which we've thrown out the window with different experiences on particular SDTV models, flatscreen or not.
Also, if anyone had a problem with playing the HDTV, being having to sit uncomfortably close or it being too bright, people could've said something and it would've been quickly adjusted. However, they didn't until after everything was over and done with. Of the issues complained about, not one of them was a hard case of lag, which leads me to believe that those people complaining about "lag" really had problems with some other aspect (again, adjustable), but psychologically link it to lag. I was still doing my just-frame chaining techniques without any inconsistency in Panel de Pon (aka Tetris Attack/Pokemon Puzzle Challenge), which are entirely reactionary and require lagless TV processing time to get right. Cheers to those who suffered playing that game with be, btw.
Since people were asking about it, those interested in a Gamecube controller extension cable can very easily find them cheap online as clearance items. For those concerned if they introduce input lag, all they need to do is ask themselves how much longer an electrical signal could possibly take to travel through another 6 feet of cable. It's double the
microseconds! It's a funny thought, but not something you'd actually need to ask seriously.
thanks alot tho u def saved me + vanz
boo for not having my entire name posted its Teczero
