Gammatron 64 posted:I played SF4 on a keyboard for a bit and to me, it's just so awkward. DP's are definitely doable but they are SO much more natural on a stick. So I bought a hitbox as well, and I think charge characters are great to play on it. Basically, when you hit both up+down, it counts as up. So, when you are downbacking, doing a Balrog headbutt is just jump + punch. It lets you think about jump as an attack button, and I now hit it with my right thumb when doing moves like that. Then, the left hand is free to do the ultra motion. It feels quite nice. My biggest problems with it is that left+right gets you neutral. I think it would be much better if it gave you the direction of the second button you hit. There are times when I accidentally leave back held down too long, and I miss my charge ultra input for it. If it gave the second direction you pressed, Balrog U1 would just be [holding back]->double tap forward + PPP. In addition, fancy charge tricks got way easier. I haven't tried Urien charge partitioning, but dash up ultra with Balrog is laughably easy on the hitbox. I can do it consistently on the hitbox whereas I cannot come close to consistent on the stick. Dashing in general is much easier, since hitting a button twice is definitely faster than pushing the stick twice. I do miss the satisfying feel of a stick when using it though. The DP motion "feels" much more natural on a stick, but is still faster to execute on a hitbox. I think 720s are pretty hard on it though. I bet that, if you practiced, standing 720s(1080s?) would be more reasonable on the hitbox than on a stick, but the up button placement makes the motion awkward and I haven't cared to practice.

The Chun Li setup is much easier, you don't need any timing at all, with Balrog you at least have to be able to time the meaty correctly. Speaking of hold forward press MP, once you get a knockdown, do meaty df+HK for a completely unseeable crossup that knocks down on hit and can be used to tick throw on block.

Yeah, I betcha stuff like dash ultras are a hell of a lot easier on a hitbox. Can't people also do standing 720s without having to buffer them into anything? You're right though, even though a hitbox might be better than an arcade stick, there's just something about a stick that just feels so satisfying. There's just something about doing combos with a stick that makes you feel like a badass. Can grandma do a FADC Ultra with ease? Can your girlfriend? Even that hardcore gamer who doesn't play fighters? Nope. To the uninitiated it's like you have magical fingers. Of course, then you actually play someone who is good at the game and your soul is crushed, but hey man, I gotta take what I can get, you know?

Gammatron 64 posted:Can't people also do standing 720s without having to buffer them into anything? That's entirely based on the game and not the controller. I suppose it's made a fair bit easier with a hitbox though. Edit: Posted in the KOF thread, but KOF13 got delayed until November 22, a week after UMvC3. Really bad sign for SNK and the game itself.

I've seen videos of people doing standing 720s on a stick in sf4, but I assume they just have magical hands that can do poo poo like that. There is a hitbox video of a guy doing it over and over as well, but the stick video was more impressive. I want to see him do a standing Tager 1080 on a hitbox, then I will be impressed.

The guy in the hitbox video buffers everyone of the 720. On that note I've had a hitbox for a while and still can't do a normal 360 but that's just me and my dumb hands. I'll get it eventually I assume

This isn't being touched but I think this needs to be said -- I think there's something else going on here that we don't know about. I -seriously- doubt that the Department of Homeland Security would get involved and confiscate video/recording equipment because Spooky streams video games on the Internet. I'm not even sure that copyright infringement, which is technically what streaming is, is under their jurisdiction. The fact that they also took his cell phone, by his own admission, also seems very sketchy. It seems like they've got reason to believe he's up to something shady. Did anyone catch the interview with him on that webshow earlier tonight? Curious if anymore details leaked out; his explanation video was extremely vague and sketchy in and of itself.

Homeland Security routinely seizes property during border crossing and the laws are in their favor. They need no other reason besides the fact you're in line.

I was under the impression that they had taken his stuff after he'd already been home, not at the border. Makes a little more sense. Did he not let them search his stuff?

The 'search' for electronic equipment involves copying your entire hard drive and analyzing its contents (and sharing it with other departments). Since this isn't really feasible to do in a couple of hours, they just take your stuff and promise they'll give it back. They also promise to destroy all the data they copied if you're innocent. They do not need probable cause.

Too much time spent around the absolute crazies on either side, you start becoming blind to sarcasm.  I won't say it's not a little unfair, though. There is such a thing as being too paranoid.

S-Alpha posted:Yeah, gently caress those goddamn Americans, always stealing my stuff for absolutely zero reason at all This is kind of adorable because you clearly have a good picture in your head of how the system should work, and you're confusing it with reality. Yes, Americans who have done nothing, literally nothing wrong or even suspicious get their poo poo stolen by the government all the time, and then the people like you--who haven't had any stuff stolen--always go "well I bet they're crazy and exaggerating." (To be fair, I don't blame you, it felt kinda weird and hard to believe the first time I learned about it.)
