The OP meant trading edge, not arcade games playing edge....

This thread is ripe for closing...

Explain why you or anybody cares if a thread is open or
closed. if you don't like the thread ignore it. is it a power play? are you try to overcome your lack of power over markets.

Quote from Rearden Metal:

Rastan is correct! The music is indeed incredible, especially for a mid-80's game. The machine plays another few thousand games as well. You'd be very hard pressed to come up with the name of any 1970's through mid-90's arcade game that my MAME system doesn't play. It was $5,500 well spent.

You win a few hours on my MAME, plus a personally administered Street Fighter II ass-kicking. I'm about an hour's drive from Chicago.

I thought you were kicking ass on the way north to the litani .

you have no real edge to protect, its as simple as that Morgan.

I suspect 80% of people here agree with you

your mouse pointer jumping around the screen again every once in a while? that's me. yeah, i'm actually rdp'd into your box right now - have 0wned it for a little over 4 months.

have a nice day.

(p.s. MACD and 50-MA does not constitute and "edge")

It simply belongs to the Chit-chat section. Also I don't see the need of reposting the same screen over and over again.

But his name is Guile!

i owned with rayden. loved that "ooogbeeegwaaahaadsfsfsdf" as he flys across the screen.

i didn't like mortal combat that much. fatalities were nice to watch, but the characters just weren't responsive. what made SFII so good was the timing and distance control that you had to master with each character, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each character.

I will NEVER put on that uniform, EVER again.
What they took from me, was more than I had to give.
Besides, I make a shitty soldier anyways.

i agree. MK, TEkken, soul caliber, ect. I never liked those games as much because of what I called, "the tekken factor".

This is where you can mash a bunch of buttons together, and still beat somebody better than you in tekken. I've seen it over and over again, where theres some guy in the arcade beating everyone at tekken, and then randomly, he loses to some guy bashing all the buttons.

I never saw that in the original SFII. Once they have X-men vs. marvel, and all the other spin offs (which i still enjoy), you're right; not as much distance control...with airblocking and all that msc crap, like supers that take up the size of the screen, lesser folks could win.

not in sfII. never seen someone good lose to someone who is actually bad/mashing buttons. just didn't pay off.

You could never beat somebody in MK II by just mashing a bunch of buttons together. They had MK II in the acracde at college I went to and we would play the thing to death. Believe me, it was actually very responsive to moves and there was no denying somebody's skill level in that game. You would destroy people with a couple moves if they didn't know what they were doing. It was fun.
