VS. mode - can both players load file from Card 1?

My wife and I have unique saved characters on Memory Card1. When we go to play VS, I hit select to load my character and it works fine. When she hits select (she is Player2) the PS2 looks to the Memory Card 2 to load her character.

Is there any way for both of us to load our saved character files from Memory Card 1?? I'm hoping I just missed something simple...

This was also asked in another thread.

After loading your character, move the mem card over to slot 2 so that your wife can use hers. It's more convenient with 2 memory cards, one for each player. Failing to have the option to load from either memory card slot is a bad oversight on Sega's part.

 

I wouldn't call it a oversight...
call me hardcore or anything..but it's supposed to stimulate the VF.Net access card, which is ur personalised card~ /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

Is any decently sized (3 - 5) group that plays regularly actually doing this? I'm just curious.

Yes. Everybody in our group uses individual memory cards specifically for VS play stats and rankings (i.e. separate from Kumite mode characters).

The character save/load times are a pain, no doubt about it, but to alleviate this issue, we play a set of 5 matches when there are 3 players in the group, and a set of 3 matches if there are 4 or more players. (Some of us have already accumulated 300-500 VS matches this way =)

 

Good suggestion Chris. Do you kick the loser off once someone has won 3 matches, or do you play the entire 5 match set everytime?

I prefer playing in arcade mode so that the winner is stuck with the same character over a win streak, but that causes the lag of going to the character select screen after every match...
