    lol kof, fits in with sf more then mk.

    BB uses chains and gattles like mk. Also lol rushdown have you seen BB, you get punish for running away :p

    but to be honest Mk is really more like tekken then the other games. just a 2d version of tekken.

    I was at a tournament recently and a certain computer science student didn't know what a VGA cable was.


    For those who don't know, VGA cables are used for roughly 95% of computer monitors in the world...

    Anyways, VGA on left (female, male has pins) scart on right, VGA can display in HD, scart cannot.

    Don't be silly. Nobody uses a keyboard on the Sony Playstation 2!

    :p

    On a more serious note, you would be amazed at the amount of people who have their xbox's hooked up with a scart lead and have no idea they don't have HD. And there are plenty who claim its all the same. I play a with a guy alot in Fifa who is conviced that his SD setup is fine and swears he can't tell the difference between them. It's impossible trying to explain things to these sort of lads.

    I'm not really surprised. It can be hard to compare graphics you've always had to better graphics you've never seen.

    I think the one game in the early life of HD that educated a lot of people that they weren't outputting in HD was Dead Rising 1.

    A SCART setup on CRT would look pretty decent though.

    . . . . . . . . thats the scart end. VGA end is for the computer. . . . . .You make people who did computer science (me) look bad

    Yeah if you're gonna go SD, SCARt is the way to go.

    Although, our recording device can take a composite signal. If I found a powered composite signal splitter, we'd be able to play on CRT :D
