Samurai Shodown IV Is Reborn #Discussion #02

[p100q]

I'd like to talk about " www.poporu.com " Since I introduced about this, number of members who play SS4 has grown almost 5 times within a couple of months. There are currently 25,397 players who competes in SS4 on a daily basis.

I believe that we should also consider having the U.S version of Arcade Game Web Community or a provider. This might also help a lot to do with a business as well as to bring more people into a new marketing place where people get to enjoy it for free.

There are a lot to discuss, but I just wanted to refresh the thought of having a new way to enjoy our favorite game if the circumstances can be allowed in a further way than a Kailiera net.

I actually played yesterday. I played about 90 Matches last night at around 2AM to 5 AM. They updgraded their dedicated server. It's very fast that I was actually able to play at a decent speed. (about 80 ping, I think so if I can compare to Kailliera.)

Unlike playing on MAME through Kaillera, there is no desync or anything like that at all. Additionally, depends on what your connection type is, your ping stat runs constantly the same throughout the game for over and over. You have to refill the free coins each time when you ran out of it. Of course; however, if you keep winning, you only need 1 coin. You can refill the coins up to about 10 for the first time, and you get 50 coins at max for your free account. As you win more and more, your level will go higher as well, and then, you can also keep more coins to play at a time without the hassle.

I do not believe that there are so many experts, but there are some (about 1,000 out of 23,000 people^^) who usually play privately among themselves that requires a password or what not. If I was in Japan, or Korea, I would not play SS4 on MAME. Because this thing [www.poporu.com] is very fast as if it's like NeoRageX which runs the fastest. I believe that if my Upload speed can be upgraded around 500kb/sec, I will be very able to play at my best. I only get about 268kb Upload speed, but it was still playable considering what I used to get in GW Server or any Kalliera that are usually all located in eastcoast area or north-eastern Canada.

I found out that this is totally a legal program that has a sub-contract deal with SNK-Playmore. I hope you guys can give it a try, it is much less hassle to waste your time in Kaillera net while waiting for a few of "You-Know-Who," opponenent. It doesn't matter either you get to play with the greatest or the worst beginner player; however, it is very fun to play with many people who you have never met before. The best thing is that there are so many people on a daily basis who play SS4. There are at least 60 people playing SS4 games on every minute and in the meantime, more people will keep coming in and out. There are always someone to play with no matter what. It's hard to get in cuz they are always playing, but you don't have to wait for it. They will usually come to play with you if you choose "quick start."


For those who play LB2, you may also give it a try. They recently addded LB2, and if you start now, you may become #1 player on the ranking in a short matter of time. And then, people would come to challange you more often as you have a higher rank. I think a few of our memebrs can easily take the Top#1 crown on the ranking. I know some of us are very good in LB2 as well which I am not interested in for the most, but I can at least give it a credit for those who are the most experts in LB2.

You may have to find the way to get ID and Passowrd. It is not just designed for Korean people, but in the country law, it is required for every websites to verify a personal information such as a driver license and something in order to register for any type of account on the web. I found the way to do it through one of my freinds. You can go ahead and DL the program that allows you to play the game first. And then, you have to go on, www.poporu.com to play on the web. On the web, you must log in before you start playing any game. I can share my ID with a few members here, but you have to ask me first. I will also find the way to create more free accounts as many as possible if I can find the way to do it. And then, I will share those with you guys.


Thanks

Pat
