Does anyone here know how to convert old VHS tapes to DVD?

My parents have a player that does it. I'd have to check what it is, but it requires actual discs rather than connecting to the PC. It also starts a new file after 2 hours IIRC.

I caved and bought Pokemon Ultra Moon.

Never was much of a gamer once I hit my teens, but all of this MK talk has me considering picking up my old SNES from my parents house & smashing some MK3.

 

[Blurry_Dreams]

i remember playing MK2 pretty much non-stop from when it came out until MK3 came out

Mortal Kombat is legendary, lads.

Mortal Kombat is legendary, lads.

What console do you play on?

 

[jimmy101]

MK > Street Fighter > Tekken > Killer Instinct > Primal Rage

 

[CiG]

Smash Bros >

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah fun game, especially with 4 players.

 

[CiG]

I like it when the frame rate drops so much that an online match is essentially paused. Sick gameplay.

Smash Bros >

Lmao.

Smash bros is fun and all but is far from a traditional/proper fighting game.

Street Fighter >>>>>> King of Fighters(+Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown) > Mortal Kombat > Tekken > old Marvel vs Capcom/X-Men fighting games)> Virtua Fighter > Soul Calibur > Guilty Geart/BlazBlue > Dead or Alive

Fighting games are a part of my DNA

SF will always be my favourite fighter.

Forgot about Virtua Fighter. First ever 3D fighting game I think.

Yup it was the first true 3d fighting game. There are so many other fighting games ive played and still own. Eternal Champions, Darkstalkers, Clayfighter, Bloody Roar, Power Stone(which is kind of similar to Smash Bros), Way of the Warrior(3DO), TMNT Tournament Fighters, The Last Blade, World Heroes, Battle Arena Toshinden, the shitty Def Jam fighting game and a bunch of other ones that im forgetting.

I've also heard the latest Dragon Ball fighting game is pretty solid but ive never played any of thhose games and have never watched the series.

SF will always be my favourite fighter.

Fanboyism aside, it definitely is the best VS franchise ever. Imo SFII is one of the greatest and most important video games of all time.

One of my favourite DSP videos ever is a USF2 video:



I would have loved to play him and have him sperg out live on stream like this.

SFII is awesome. Crazy how Ryu & Ken were the only returning characters from the first game though.

 

[CiG]

Isn't Sagat in the first game? I remember Birdie being in it.

 

[jimmy101]

Oh right, yeah forgot about Sagat.

Never played any of the SF games after II. Do any of the later releases live up to that level of awesomeness?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yeah Sagat is in the first game(that where Ryu gives him the scar). Ryu had red hair and red shoes

Ryu and Ken are the only two players you can choose but some of the guys(Sagat, Adon, Birdie, Eagle and Gen) are also in other SF games. Oh and "Mike" was basically a prototype Balrog.

Sagat has been my main ever since SFII Turbo/Championship Edition

Always loved Blanka. I just remember when playing the game as a kid it'd be just so easy make him buzz with electricity. All you had to do was hold the down button and tap another button IIRC. Similar to E-Honda's crazy hand thing.

Dal Sim was the hardest opponent IMO. His elastic limbs are always hard to counter, plus he'd shoot fireballs at you.
