What's with all this horseshit about trashing Happs!?
I own both candies and woodies and the experience is different for both. There are some games that I much rather play in a candy, but some others must be played in a wood cab. When it comes to fighters I can play way better on a Super than anything else, but when it comes to shmups I'm Sanwan all the way, even though people keep pushing that seimitsu is the way to fly, but I think all the shmupies just want to justify some sort of exclusivity to their cause.
My wood cabs are all in very decent shape, but my candies are in WIP status, except for my MVU4 which is just in need of a CP art overlay, other than that is minty fresh, now unfortunately it has seimitsu sticks 'cause the joystick bracket is made to accept that, but soon I'll take care of that.
In the end I'll have to say that I like woddies more than candies for a ton of reasons, but candies are slowly coming around for me, hell I like them so much I have 5 of them suckers, but I own even more woodies. I just got this Fabtek vert and I'm just dying to play the Raiden and Striker Series in it, is just the only way to fly man! It needs some serious work, but I've been waiting for the chance to own one of this cabs for a long ass time.
I have to say though that Egret II and the AWSD are defenately one of my favorite cab designs, I used to be alll about the Astro design and in some ways I still am 'cause the CPs are so versatile, it is truly a shame that those suckers that make the CP's for Egret II don't know how to make decent button layouts. The AWSD 1P CP is flawless though.
Anyone who shits on Happs don't know much about Happs. Sanwa is great too, but at the end is not really a matter of prefference for me, is more like the right brand for the right game.
On topic: A lot of folk give Biblio a lot of shit. There are some of us who know the place is coming along nice 'cause we've seen it before, so ease up on the man, most folks first cabinets are usually akward, it doesn't apply to everyone, but I've seen a lot worst. Even though some of the cabs are not very pretty at least they run, which is more than I can say for a lot of folks here that had cabs that don't work for shit for a long time.
Everyone that jumps into this hobby has a phase where obsession outrules arcade common sense, but once you get thorugh it that's when your hobby starts to shine, it's just a matter of time and everyone that's serious about this knows what I'm talking about.
I've never been a fan of all them wacky arcade games like blitz and most sports titles that don't come from SNK, so I can't talk much about all them blitz and shit, it seems to me that those type of games belong in some loser bar with alll them people that like Madden, GTA and all that crap.
I have no clue how to play it though..it's very odd.
