      Why don’t they just use an octagon like on the GC controller? I feel like it might even be easier to manufacture because you would only have to deal with straight lines, but what do I know.

    • @themustardthe
      @themustardthe 4 роки тому +4

      Republica Austriaca wouldn’t an octagon make it easier to input all of the cardinal directions and diagonals? Just wondering, cuz slipping wouldn’t be a problem for games where you only need 8 directions, and games where you do could still benefit from being able to input the 8 direction more reliably. As long as you don’t push to hard, or your gate isn’t lubed or something, then I don’t think slipping should be that big of a problem.

    You need to make more videos. There's an honest craving in me for your writing. Its hard to sate elsewhere. You're a true journalist. You put the mic right on the subject itself and then turn toward the audience to form their own thoughts. There isn't anything you've produced that leaves the viewer less capable than what they were when it started. That's a powerful capacity for information, and its a passion that is sorely needed in our hearts.

      No long time ago i buy a stick for my self on Aliexpress. And i think it has Japaneese stick and Sanwa buttons. My good friend inspect it, and say that it is True. That stick cost me around 85$. I know, that better buy stick min for 200-250$, but USD in Ukraine (or in my case DPR) is very expensive.

      +Core-A Gaming I played with a pad since 6yo and decided to swap to keyboard 7 years back for arcade and fighting games when I discovered "m.a.m.e" on the pc and it felt way more natural then a pad. Got my first stick a year back and I loved it and was even easier but the stick broke (rather got fried) a couple months back and now i'm back to keyboard and I'm glad I can use both things no problems.
      Just wanted to say to people who thinks that fighting games are unplayable on keyboard that they really should try more then 5min before saying anything because if that's all what you have and you love fighting games.. at the end of the day is just inputs and it boils down to how accurate you can do them, that's it.

    I think another big consideration is how these games are designed. For example, Zangief's full circle throws and some of Vega's specials are clearly not designed for playing with a d-pad. I used to play SF4 on my PC keyboard and it was by far the most precise controls I've used for characters like Ryu.

    I always used a pad through and through, but a while ago I decided to try out a basic Hori mini fightstick for PS4. It wasn't as difficult to get used to as I thought, and there were some inputs and motions that I found surprisingly easier to do. On the other hand, there were some that were definitely harder, so I really do think it just comes down to what you're comfortable with.

  • @legs0fsteel

    I really like Arcade sticks because of my disability my left fingers have very poor motor skills and they're very shaky.
    When i bought Street fighter 5 on PC as my first fighting game since TEKKEN 3 i started playing it with my xbox 360 gamepad only to find out that due to the travel time of the trigger buttons LT and RT wich control heavy kick and V-reverse and the fact i couldn't do Critical Arts, most EX moves and no SPD's/DP's that it wasn't gonna work.
    Then a friend of mine saw on steam that i bought Street Fighter 5 and called me and said ''i guess you're having trouble with your left hand can i come over? i want to show you something.''
    And then he came over with his fight stick a madcatz TE2 and because it allowed me to use my whole hand to move the stick around ny twitchy fingers are no longer a problem.
    AS i type this i ordered my own madcatz TE2 and it has just arrived at the post office and they open in 2 hours so i can pick it up then :)

The stick... well, I hadn't played a lot of matches there, I have been using it only in arcades, but I can guess say it's like the pad, but move move-y, where the pad you kinda stay in one place.

    I’m a d-pad warrior, quick little story, in Daly City California there was a game store called videots or something like that and it was like a mom and pop rental store except all video games. Street fighter 2 turbo had been recently out and had gained some experience on techs such as zoning and picking up patterns and countering, anyway there was a no older dude like in his mid twenties and I was like 14 maybe. Anyway i would jump up and Hurricane kick over him and i noticed my recover time from a light Hurricane kick mid air was fast so after landing on the other side of him i would dragon punch immediately and would usually hit him. He was getting mad and said hold on I’ll be right back I’m going to get my sticks. Came back with an arcade stick and kept playing and i was still beating him. I’m over 40 now with a ps2 controller to usb playing mc2 on ps3. Still fun when i encounter my adversaries, I enjoy getting a win and upsetting their win streak. Right now I’m using the hori fighting commander it’s pretty cool

    The Neo Geo Pocket Color had a controls that haven't really been replicated on anything else, and that's a shame, because it's a really interesting design. Instead of a d-pad, it used a miniature thumb stick with microswitches. This makes it both fluid and definite. If you get an opportunity to play SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium on one, do so, and you'll see what I mean.

      And you think SF2 was designed to be competitive? If so, think again.

      Most of smash 4 patch were actually pretty competitive, fixing stronger characters and helping the lower tiers save for a few that did not get the chance. Not to mention bringing back DI and changing shields to make them a bit less safe overall which are changes that almost had no effect on the casual players.

      A good proof that you don't know anything you're talking about if you can't even remember a major change like the one done to shield. They also made perfect shield harder, in addition to making normal shields less safe. Probably for the casuals too.
      They never changed Greninja counter either, even more bullshit. Corrin counter had no reason to be that much better than any other counter, casual play or not that was a dumb choice and they nerfed it .
      Very few characters made viable by buffs? Marth & lucina, Mewtwo, Luigi, Geninja (yes, he has way more buffs than nerfs, you're welcome), Dk, Bowser, Meta-knight, and probably more.
      Characters like Shulk, Charizard, Falco,Link,Ike, etc were unplayable at release and had so many buffs they are now pretty decent ..
      Who got the most nerfs? Ho right, top tiers in competitive. ZSS win rate on casual is very low. Guess what? Yeah, nerfed.
      Bayo, Cloud, Sheik, a few (too) small one for Rosa, Diddy, Luigi (to be buffed again, probably because the casual cried for combo they couldn't pull out anyway,I guess) ..
      TLDR : You are full of shit and putting Corrin counter as an example (while she had many nerfs actually, since they found her too strong after release, nothing weird to tone her town a bit) or changes that did not happen like greninja counter does not help your case. Good day.

    Personally I think when it comes to fighting games a keyboard offers the most control
    But since I grew up playing primarily xbox, I mainly just use a xbox controller

      I find keyboard hard to use, the inputs need to be very precise, in brawlhalla at least.

    I really love the Switch Joycons for MK11. The “d-pad” buttons are perfectly spaced for hitting them separately and together for me.

    I normally use controller, but found a recently cheap stick at a pawn shop. Fell in love almost immediately. Just ordered a brand new stick last night. I don't think I'm ever going to look back for fighting games.

      Hey, I'm new to all of this. But I've played fighting games on keyboards for the longest. Are keyboards allowed? Also, am I allowed to set up my own button configuration or is it assigned to me? Thank you

      The Holy Schois it obviously depends on where you're at, but in an actual competitive tournament anything that can be used to play fighting games can be used.

      “It is a new step towards independence, once a man dares to express opinions that bring disgrace on him if he entertains them; then even his friends and acquaintances begin to grow anxious. The man of talent must pass through this fire, too; afterwards he is much more his own person.”
