ECT5 - Ferris Aircraft Stage Banned, Lobo is Allowed

[STORMS]

L.I. Joe and SweetJohnnyCage are soon to embark on their fifth year installment of the reputable East Coast tournament, East Coast Throwdown V. Injustice: Gods Among Us will undoubtedly receive a big crowd so before we get to ECT5 on May 18-19 you should know that the 'Ferris Aircraft' stage in Injustice will be banned from tournament-play. The reason for this is due to a glitch where part of the screen remains blacked out (see below). Image thanks to Mike Metroid.

Secondly, the newest addition to the Injustice roster and first DLC character, Lobo is tournament legal.

Awesome to hear.

 

[GGA Jeremiah]

That glitch actually happened when me and soonk were playing the other day.

 

[AkTiVe]

I respect this, and they are using all Xbox too

Oh it'll be fun to see the players try to play on a crumby d-pad.

Unless they brought their sticks with them.

 

[Sasarix]

Good shit there was no point in banning Lobo anyway so it's nice to hear he will be playable. Sucks about the Ferris stage though I hope NRS fixes that quickly.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

So I take it that it WAS confirmed that yesterday's update did not resolve this glitch?

Xbox Afterglow is all you need. > Stiff ps2 pad

 

[Darth Mao]

Good.

 

[Hitoshura]

Yay! Lobo! :3

 

[Chongo]

Xbox Afterglow is all you need. > Stiff ps2 pad

I actually used an Afterglow when I went to NEC. It fucking sucked.

Good times.

 

[Ratchet-Fabulous]

Xbox Afterglow is all you need. > Stiff ps2 pad

I know, but from what I saw at the other tournaments, some players didn't show up with any Afterglow, whatever that is. I'm saying it'll be funny to see the people unprepared struggle with a bad d-pad. This isn't fanboyism, it's a fact, just how PSN can be the worst thing that's ever happened to Playstation.

 

[GGA Max]

Lol the guy who posted this got blown up. Forum warriors.

 

[Tom Brady]

This bug happens on several stages. Also, what about the bug w/the motorcycle on Wayne Manner? should we ban that too?

This is RIDICULOUS... glad these "experts" get to come in and make up custom rules for us...

[GGA Max]

There is a ps3 controller to xbox console converter? I've been looking everywhere.

Im wondering the same thing.

Between the hotel, registering, the trip up and back, and the 2 days of work I'm taking off to come up, I'm hoping it's at least cheap/could get here in time...pay day's tomorrow, but everything prior to it went to the car and work travels, so I couldn't get it when the switch was announced.

Fuck.

 

[DownfouralitY]

I think so

 

[GGA Max]

I think so

Well I think you're talking out of your ass -_-.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Well I think you're talking out of your ass -_-.

uh no? in the first place I meant they could use a converter for a ps2 pad. I just assumed there was a ps3 to xbox converter aswell

 

[Sunny54]

This adapter allows a ps3 controller to be used on 360.

[G4S Claude VonStroke]

They said they are providing them at ECT. Converters.

 

[chowdizzle]

Well I think you're talking out of your ass -_-.

There is one, I've used one at my local arcade and my friend's brother used one to play Tekken Tag 2 pair play with us on Xbox. We both use sticks but he was only accustomed to the PS3 controller. I can't tell you what they are called or how to find them though, I have no idea.

Edit: There you go, Sunny supplies the hookup.

 

[GGA Fill Pops]

Y is lobo banned at ufgt then!?

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Seems reasonable to ban this stage if your view is that terribly obstructed. However, wasn't this the favored pick of zoning characters?
