All Capcom games at Final Round 16 will be ran on Xbox 360 to reduce any chance of slowdown

All Capcom games at Final Round 16 will be ran on Xbox 360 to reduce any chance of slowdown Due to high demand, this year's Final Round 16 will be hosting all of it's Capcom games on Xbox 360 to reduce any chance of slowdown coming from the PlayStation 3.

The slowdown was first brought to a lot of tournament organizer's attention during the past Apex tournament which many top players were discussing the frame rate slowing down from 60 to around 45-50.

So far, Final Round is one of the only tournaments that has switched consoles to compensate for this. Some other tournaments, like Evolution 2013 have opted to run on the games on PlayStation 3 but only allow the training mode stage to reduce lag as it's "too late in the game to switch consoles."

Don't people rely on PS3 controllers? I use stick because 360 controllers suck for fighting games. I wonder how this is gonna play out.

Converters exist and presumably don't suck anymore.

Also, more people rely on there being no slowdown.

I had heard that the slowdown before was possibly just an old/overworked console. I don't know if it was the case but it's worth mentioning.

They should try blowing on the disc... then blow into the slot where the disc goes. That always seemed to work on my N64 when it was lagging from 35 fps to 30 fps.

#12: I think DOA5 has a PS3 input delay problem too, so it's not just Capcom games.

#5: From what I heard, it's the output resolution being bigger than the native resolution. Nothing can change that though.

To clarify, this isn't for every game but the main Capcom games as explained on the website.

"Due to high demand, Super Street Fighter IV AE v.2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Street Fighter x Tekken v.2013 will all be held on Xbox 360 this year instead of the originally announced PS3. All the remaining games (except MBAACC, which will be on PC) will be on Playstation 3 as originally announced."

Not that I was going to attend anyway, but the whole thing about 360 converters is that they're expensive as hell and require you to spend extra cash on an MS wired controller. Whereas PS3 supports pretty much every USB controller out of the box (except 360 of course). Hell I just bought a TvC Wii stick and a USB converter and it works perfectly on PS3.

You Xbox 360 fanboys are too funny... the 1-frame lag on PS3 is so trivial that its pretty much irrelevant, but even then the PS3 is more arcade perfect than the Xbox version, not to mention that it looks slightly better, so if you want to be a fanboy two can play at that. You say one frame difference, I say slightly better graphics. Its stupid....

Wasn't there a bunch of dropped combos in SoCal Regionals when they were playing UMvC3?
I swear people were dropping combos left and right. Not saying it's the console, but I see people bitch at PS3 for no reason.

too late to switch to xbox for evo, i can understand, has to do with sponsors, and equipment available (im sure they have quite alot of setups there)
i just hope next years isnt on ps3

It has been proven that PS3 has frame rate issue with MvC/SF, not sure about SFxT. This isn't a console vs console issue. It's simply FGC tournament players want to avoid it. Not like anyone mad about the switch is attending anyway.

@20 If it was irrelevant, top players wouldn't complain about it. All you fangirls are idiots. PS3 and 360 fangirls, can't tell which group is worse.

Slowdown is a big deal you retards. Why do you think none of the good people like playing online, because slowdown makes it impossible for you to play to your full abilities.

Slowdowns allow for sh!tty characters to do well, such as Hulk and Sentinel. It also allows for bs, psychic shoryukens.

The only people who don't think slowdown is an issue are scrubs.

I still think they'll get bodied and it's once again the mighty american pros that b"tch and complain yet infil performed a record number of raging demons at evo last year. They can have as many 360's as they want the "domestic pros" will always find something to b"tch about.

That's a fact.

Fanboys/online warriors need to take a step back from this one. The message that needs to be spread is that of developers ensuring identical performance between systems. Even if that means putting an artificial frame of lag into Xbox and arcade versions to level the playing field. This kinda stuff should have been raised long ago.

Do you see winners like Daigo and Infiltration complain? Only losers does, if it's good enough for them I'm sure it's good enough for everybody.

@28 Oh the Asian players, yeah, it's easy to know any and everything they say to one another. I mean, it's not like they speak a foreign language or anything...Any who, SF isn't the game that gets the blunt of the complaints. It's Marvel. The issue is with ''15-20 frame slowdown'' not the 1 frame issue on SF. Why do people always bring up Daigo or Infiltration anyway? Are their penises stuck that far up most peoples backside?

everybody now is saying that Ps3 has slowdown after FChamp started crying when he lost on that last tournament and started bit**ing

i play on Ps3 and i see the game the same way it is on a x360 but they wanna win so they blame it on the system......didn't Chris G got 3rd place at EVO2012 spamming with MorriDoom on a Ps3? there you have it people those are just excuses

@30
People mention them because they don't b'tch. Marvel is an american game which explains why most of the b'tching is coming from that direction anyway. What about xian,poongko, fuddo a whole host of others if u could put your fascination with penises and backsides away you'd get the point (well not that kinda point). Fgc especially capcom games thrive on a little melodrama and arturo is involved in alot of mini sh:tstorms capcom related anyway. These people weren't complaining that hard before the video came out anyway but since this is the new thing to complain about. You can look forward to lots more b'tching just don't "wonder" where it's all coming from.

once they use the 360s for a while, all in a same room... they're gonna get slowdown and lag too. it was way too hot and all sucking from the same power source,

The japanese dont have any problems with the ps3 versions?

The high level japanese players for the capcom games almost all play on xbox360 when they are home for years in a country were the 360 sells really bad!

That should tell you something.

They prefer xbox that's not the point. The point is when they heard evo was using ps3's they trained on ps3's went to the states and bodied some fools, instead of b:tching they had they their sh:t on lock.

i coulda sworn the delay came from old fat ps3s that've been runnin since 07...Then on top of that the slowdown was in the opening fight cinematic because of the ps3 being a port lol.
They're just tired of getting bodied by the Japanese and Koreans.
Its all about dedication. They play SF 16-18 hrs a day go to work have gf's and still maintain a normal life lol americans can't fathom such dedication hence why we lose every year at SF

#26 is one of the only people making sense here.. It shouldn't be a 'fanboy' console war. Marvel was developed with Xbox as the lead console and ported to PS3 and they did a poor job. Nothing is wrong with the console, Capcom needs to step it up and quit being lazy.

#29 you're a joke anyways, stick to being a groupie

#40 How the hell does someone play SF 16-18 hours a day AND work AND have a 'normal life'? Do they work for 1 hour a day, then sleep 4-5 hours? or maybe they have 34 hour long days in Asia? Shut up, or at least make some kind of sense.
