Howdy from North Carolina! I've been lurking here a while and finally joined a few weeks ago. My obsession with playing Neo-Geo fighting games like The Last Blade 2, Ninja Master's and Samurai Shodown II & IV brought me here.

I'm also a little bit of a video game collector although I haven't picked up anything particularly rare in quite some time. However, I do have a few desirable games in my library which I'll probably share pictures of as time goes by.

This seems like a wonderful community and I feel honored to be a member.

Welcome to you! The noob hazing period is between 1 to 15+ years and depends on a variety of factors.

What stick do you play them with? We need to know.

We're VERY passionate about sticks on here.

Since I'm playing the Virtual Console versions of my favorite Neo-Geo fighters on the Wii here's the stick I use.

I modded this Mad Catz SE with Sanwa parts back when I was heavy in to Super Street Fighter IV but I eventually sold it.

The honest truth is that I'm mostly a pad user so these are what I use when I play Street Fighter V on my PS4.

I absolutely LOVE the one on the right because it reminds me so much of the Sega 6-button pad. I hope the rumors are true and a new Samurai Shodown game gets released on the PS4 next year so I can use that Hori pad to play it.

Lastly, I've been using the tag "Grizz" for years but it tends to already be used on most forums so I've started using elGRIZZbo now instead.

Thanks for the warm greetings from all!

I have a stick, but often times go for pads. The CD pad is very comfortable and easy to execute different moves. Welcome!

The Wii Classic Controller mimics the Neo-Geo CD pad quite well, don't you think?

It would probably be a cool mod to put the CC's innards in to a CD's shell. Kinda surprised no one's done that yet.

Welcome Grizz! You mentioned that you're currently playing your neo games on the virtual console. Since both options are emulation anyway, out of curiousity, was tommo's neo geo x ever an option for you? The system gets a lot of hate, but as someone who is using legal emulation to get your neo fix, I'd be curious to hear your oppinion between the VC and NGX options.

I never really considered buying a NGX but now that I've gotten a taste of how good Neo-Geo fighting games are I find myself wanting to buy an Omega.The passion for physical NG cartridges on this site is rubbing off on me. :D

Great way to make a name for yourself at the local arcades. ;)

Speaking of Semitsu, I'm thinking the next arcade stick I mod will probably include an LS-32 rather than the Sanwa JLF I used on my last mod.

Nice, I saw that Samuri Shodown is coming to Nintendo Switch soon. I'll give it a go there.

How long can this spamming spree go. Will he reply to the first post of every thread ever made in this section? I would be impressed if so. In fact, I believe that this should be the requirement for Kyle Rayner to be able to access the market.
