Furin Arcade

Insightful, honest and fully thorough reviews from @NihongoGamer are always the most satisfying as an independent creator. Thank you. Slicker, Smaller, Lighter. | Return of the FRS youtu.be/ORm48pVOLMc?si…

Thumb parry is a go @FurinArcade thanks for the review @NihongoGamer

@wiskeicub Indeed. And this would be ideal.

@FurinArcade Development on a cps3 core for the mister fpga has begun by #jotego.

For SCIENCE! 3RD Strike blind test at VS Fighting. Original hardware vs emulation Try both and vote, the more data we have the better. Set ups will be switched/randomised throughout the event and data will be posted later #3rdstrike

@tehfogo That split is basically the same as chance guess 50/50 bare in mind

Interesting results from this test, I was guessing that there would be more people getting it wrong but it was a 59-56 split so it was close. I still believe that emulation via PC or FPGA will be viable for competitive 3rd Strike at some point in the future.

@RakuraiMedia Drop me a dm dude, I don't seem to be able to message you for some reason

@FurinArcade I do a lot of PC optimization to reduce input lag on the Fightcade emulator including a few Windows hacks. Hit me up if you want some insight.

@LiquidGobalsky I've got a lot of post event stuff to do and orders to send out first then I'll do a full write up

@FurinArcade So what are the final results?

Had a great weekend supporting @electronicdojo this weekend with our #VSCity cabs. A great event ran by @JassiSingho and his crew. Nice catching up with @Tamraz_D and hopefully see you all again next year, if not sooner.

Another VS Fighting complete! Thanks to all the staff and TO's for running such a great event. I've got a lot of emails to reply to, orders to sort out, data to go through and people to thank specifically so please excuse the delay while I catch up. For now... Sleep #VSF

@barettorein @AutoMattock There is absolutely no difference to an "untrained eye" that's for sure. The question is really a grey area of at what point of expertise is it noticeable if at all and how much is placebo/prior knowledge effecting opinions.

@FurinArcade @AutoMattock Is this survey to figure out how much people *notice* a difference or the magnitude of a difference that is already apparent? I never playes 3s arcade but like, are they noticeably different to an untrained eye (say, someone who plays the game but isn't too obsessed/involved)

@RakuraiMedia I definitely will do because this test will need doing again for sure 😊

@MigeruSan_ No individual will ever know if they were right or wrong. But we will know overall how accurate people's guesses were in general

@FurinArcade I love this, can't wait to see the results and how many people get it wrong haha

@AutoMattock Oh absolutely vs console it's noticeable for sure. But it'll be nice to know what's placebo and what isn't. Although to be clear, the results of this one test aren't going to definitively prove anything yet.

@FurinArcade I've always been fascinated by the subject, I think emulation 3rd strike is very close to arcade and I def prefer it to console.

@AutoMattock I won't say what the settings are just yet so as not to bias anything at all but I'll post settings and specs when we're done. And by the sounds of it people want this information eve more than I thought so I will do more tests even more tightly controlled soon.

@FurinArcade Any runahead on the emulation?

3rd Strike day at VSFXIII today! Stream live: twitch.tv/s1ngho #VSFXIII

It's #3rdStrike Tournament Day at #VSF! 103 players! Pool 1 starts at 11am BST! 3s Matcherino: tinyurl.com/VSFXIII3s Stream: twitch.tv/S1ngho

@jordi_ros @shoryushoryu USB decoders themselves probably don't add enough lag in isolation to be noticeable. But the variation in stick lag themselves means a slow stick vs direct input will be VERY noticeable.

@FurinArcade @shoryushoryu Super interesting! Are controllers included in the equation? Like some people can tell between usb encoder vs direct input. Looking forward to the results 👏

@jordi_ros @shoryushoryu Once we've got enough data on this I'll do similar tests with blind direct input sticks vs USB decoded on the same superguns. Direct input supergun set ups vs USB emulation set ups etc until I've exhausted all variations

@jordi_ros @shoryushoryu This time around were doing use your own controller/stick with the cps3 setups having undammed decoders as would be standard on a supergun set up. BOTH these setups will have more lag than cab. The test is does one have more than the other.
