  1. Since I began playing online several months ago I've observed a variety of face-off martial arts, some of which I've added to my own arsenal. Some are more effective than others, but one things for sure.. it's not a random thing, and they have a big impact on the outcome of a game.

    There appears to be few popular techniques in draw karate:

    Hundred hand slap- simply moshing on the B button like a jack hammer.

    Tiger pushing the mountian - checking the opponent off the draw in a attmpt to dislodge the player from the puck. Rarely have I seen this be effective, it's kind of a desperation technique me thinks.

    The monkey stealing the peach - stealthy waitng till the puck drops, then pressing B..Very sneaky tatic

    I have a few of my own, but they won't be declassified unless someone exposes them :D.

  2. cool vid nice passing btw is the music from NHL2000 u brought back the 15 yrold in me

    Haha, good eye (or ear for that matter). I got it from here. You have to go down a bit, but it's there.

    NHL 2000 is the best hockey game ever next to Genesis's NHL series imo, and is almost identical in terms of gameplay / dekes and one timers next to '94. If anyone happens to see it floating around I strongly recommend you pick it up..You won't be disapointed.

  3. That's some really nice passing, good job!

    Thanks man.

    Watching that some people might get the idea that I need "Deking for Dummies" or mabye even the audio version since I pass so much :) . But now that I've been playing online for a while I find it's more effective to just go for the juggular than all that facncy passing and stuff.

  4. "The Gorilla" or "Gor", Has to be added into the '94 book of ebonics. It's when a player who uses manual goalie dives all over the pond with reckless abandon.

    It's coined after caseclosed27 / Gorilla, for his helter skelter agressive style of goalie control. Someone who; if evaluated by a professional, would probably diagnose him as a compulsive goalie conrtroller :) .

  5. Damn man, it's like I defrocked the Snes or something :money:

    As don16086 alluded to the Snes versions frame rate is far lower than the Genesis, though I can't confirm that it's 50% lower.

    Jim Simmons and Scott Orr created EA's early NHL series for Genesis first..Then ported them to other consoles. This is especially evident with NHLPA '93 for Snes..The frame rate is abysmal in this game, rendering it unplayable.

    As far as the passing in '94 for Genesis: The passes are sensitive so that if you jam the pass button the pass will generaly be off the mark. This was by design though, so that you need to be easy on the pass, kind of like the way a player with soft hands in hockey delivers a crisp pass. I'm not sure if it was Jim's or Scott's idea. But I know it was one of the things thay wanted to include in the series while they were playing the game against each other for hours on end, testing and tuning the original NHL Hockey, when the game was still in it's infancy.

    I average 70% passing on 90-100 passes with 5 minuite periods during netplay, and about 80% on 300-350 with 20 minuite periods against the cpu. But honestly I can't say which has (if at all) more accurate passing, I haven't played Snes version enough.

  6. Props on the cabinet Frosty.

    A friend of mine has a Dreamcast Jamma cabinet. It sees a lot of action from: Virtua Fighter 3tb, Virtua Tennis, Capcom fighting games, shmups like Ikaruga and most recently Under Defeat.

    I've thought about importing a Sega astro city Naomi cabinet from Japan but the shipping is astronomical (get it? astro city-astronomical, nuyk nuyk nuyk) and would end up costing me more than the cabinet itself.

    Not sure if Genesis is VGA compatible or not, Ive been meaning to check that out but haven't gotten around to it. Still I like the way '94 looks in Gens with Kreed / Super Eagle enabled.

  7. Looks like you managed to get every flavor on the menu in there.

    The part when you shot the puck at the injured player was barbaric *laugh out loud*, loved that part.

    Great vid smozoma.

    note to self: must figure out some way to make laugh out loud shorter. It could change the world.

  8. Teams are set.

    Bo Knows NHL94 / sNo Bo arder - Dallas

    clockwise / Cam Kneely - Penguins

    HABS / sonicxxx - Edmonton

    Evan / Lou is God - Devils

    It looks like there will only be four teams. Sorry to those left out.

    HABS will post the format and schedule shortly.

  9. They made the players names, teams totally fictional. Why not put the 2K6 rosters, teams into 94???? Also, you COULDNT play it online. Either put the exact game on the CD, or match the rosters, teams to the 2K6 version.

    I agree this was completely asinine.

    For this to come to fruition I think it would take a lot of signatures on a petition or something of that nature. But seeing how they put it in NHL 2006 it doesn't seem that remote anymore.

    Looking at the massive teams of programmers etc. that are assembled to create some of today's games, it would be relatively easy task.

  10. Is there a version of Gens that allows AVI in netplay?

    Presently there isn't.

    Iv'e been trying to contact the creator of to see if he would consider installing netplay into Gens movie maker. He's proven to be quite elusive.

    It would be a boon if we could capture video through Gens during netplay, especially during the playoffs in your online league. I'm sure everyone would want to see that.

    I'll let you know if I hear from him.

  11. Ah, I see you are skilled in the art of copy/paste. *Karate SFX* But I am equally as adept :lol:

    Sorry to puncture your '94 balloon, but Snes is a diluted version, and, the experiments margin of error is in the vicinity of .001 % and .0001 %. Somewhere between those numbers lie your arguement :lol:.

    First of all most of these so called points of yours are MINOR ideas and have not much to do with what makes this game great, the play control. Long live SNES...

    The facts of both versions had to survive the gauntlet of issues before them, no issue is "minor", primarily beacuse the games are identical for the most part, hence no details are to small.

    Harder hits? Have you not nailed a guy so hard that you go flying back halfway across the ice? That kicks sooo much ass. Try pressing the 'Y' button after. That is so hilarious.

    This has nothing to do with harder hits. Mute issue. 1 point for Genesis :D .

    What are you talking about? Turn on the sound and listen for yourself. Also look behind the net when you score. That red thing spinning around is called a GOAL LIGHT.

    All I hear is a wimpy "beep" after a goal. But perhaps my game is defective. Or perhaps Genesis versions kung-fu is stronger..and there is no horn at the end of a period, just a feeble wistle..Lame

    #6. Genesis has highlights from other games: kick ass feature, I love watching these. Even though it's a novelty thing, it still rules. 1 point for Genesis.

    So does SNES. Are you ok? :D

    Im talking about the CPU playing the CPU during intermissions. Not, scores from other games. Of all the Snes '94 games I've ever played not once have I seen this.

    Enough with the graphics already!! :blink:

    Had it not been for these "minor" graphical enhancements Genesis would have shattered Snes versions glass jaw early in the 2nd round during the experiment.

    Uh, ok? :huh: I love the goalie contol on the SNES. Without it I wonder just how long this game would have lasted. As for hovering around the ice, I thought it was the Genesis version that didn't have skates! :P But at least this is a concern of some substance.

    Visually their legs don't move outside of attempting a save. I support all handicapped people, but I don't want a paraplegic defending my net.

    Quite simply, I dispute this. I diagree, I just can't believe it. Not you, I believe that you really believe in your game, but about the two games playability. Are we all so brainwashed into our inherent systems that we cannot see otherwise? I used to think this. But not now. I've given the Genesis version many tries over the years. Its not the same at all. It just feels wrong.

    This is not objectional. The FPS (frames per second to the layman) is higher, this is a fact, play is down by contact and can not be challenged with a red flag :D . This is why Genesis's version has more fluid animation and controls, and why there is a 1/10th of a second delay with the controls on Snes.

    I could play for the rest of my life and never get the same type of goals from the Genesis as I can from the SNES. Just look at these plays again if you have to: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w3YVF4KxBXQ&search=nhl%2094 (shameless plug). Prove me wrong! Genesis guys start recording your goals. I want results. NHL 94 highlight menagerie extravaganza and NHL94 highlights 2003 Olliz remix (NHL 94), I'm sorry, it just didn't do it for me. Not to be mean, or to show off for that matter. It is simply not NHL94 to me. OK for what they are, but no 94.

    The vid I slapped together was playing alone. The CPU won't go where I want it to like when playing next to a teammate, you can't direct traffic when playing alone.

    As far as performing plays like these against a elite player online...Most of the passing lanes will be clogged by a good defensive player. You may get some tic tack one timers, but doing these kind of plays on a consistent basis is not feasible against a veteran.

    As for your "high profile study", it seems it was as well executed as the Bush Administration's investigation into the supposed 9/11 muslim attacks.p

    Awww, not nice to take cheap shots hehe. But Canucks fans wouldn't know anything about cheap shots now would they? ;)

    For those who prefer a premium '94 with great taste that's less filling...Genesis version is supreme :lol:

    ps: It was meant to be in good fun man, don't get all mad.

  12. clockwise: You haven't played nhl94 for snes at all have you? ^^
    If you say that there aren't even highlights from other games... There are. Only in the play off though. heh


    Unfortunately, yes, I have. I kid, I kid.

    No, seriously, I've probably played 20-30 games on the Snes. Most of the time I would play action/platform games on Snes and sports games on Genesis.

    That makes sence. I don't ever remember playing playoffs on the Snes version.
