Anyway, I'm glad I got an invite last night and will have fun trying it out today. Even if it's just fun for a week or two I'm happy. It's free, it's alpha. That guy should lose his twitch partnership just for the suicide option select comment, lol. Also, any tier can get matched up with any tier (not sure if that's intentional, I personally don't mind it), and being in diamond tier could also mean you just grinded a shitload while still being a fundamentally lovely player.

Right, I thought you lose ranking if you lose matches? I assumed he got there because most of the other people playing right now are bad. I think he actually deleted his twitch channel or something. Bamford Brownstone posted:"Not only does this game suck but it also has pathetic rage quitters" The "rage quitting" a majority of the time right now is actually a bug that disconnects players between rounds. The guy in the video actually did ragequit, though.

Yeah you lose points(?) for losses, but you're right, we can assume he made it all the way to diamond tier by getting matched up with people who literally just got into the alpha and against people who are bad who are grinding, doing the same thing. [edit] Also yeah, he totally deleted his twitch page. Bahahah. [edit 2] I think he deleted all his social media pages too. Google was kind enough to cache his twitter so you can catch a glimpse of the dude's meltdown online. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:uxuxjDbW_JgJ:https://twitter.com/spherax92+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us teagone fucked around with this message at 14:31 on Jul 31, 2015 |

I know Rising Thunder isn't execution heavy, but as a scrub tier player myself, me being able to discover and pull off a combo like this: https://vid.me/d46A is very satisfying. Now to try and land that in a match!

So I found an old WWE Brawlstick or wtv it's called. I think it's by Mad Catz? Anyways, I remember reading somewhere that it can easily be upgraded with higher quality components. I'm interested in changing mainly the joystick, but perhaps also the buttons. What components would fit inside of it? I'd like a stick with an octagon gate (I know it's probably not the best, but I enjoy the feedback it provides). Anyone have a link, preferably a site that ships to Canada

FYI Broken Loose link combos in this game are really easy. I think there's an input buffer, it might even be bigger than SF5's.

Rising Thunder is pretty good so far, only issue I'm having right now is not being able to bind special and throw to two/three button inputs. I've basically never used my right 2 buttons on my TE fightstick so it's really hard for me to tech throws with my pinky.

Don't lie to yourself. If you start down that path, you'll only be digging yourself in deeper. Instead of getting used to the standard (square gate) you're going to be investing time and motor memory in an octogate and you'll make the barrier to using a square gate even higher. Also you should note that buying a balltop is not really optional. It won't come with one. So don't miss that part. Edit: Oh, he meant re-use the balltop from the madcatz. Yeah, you could do that.

Here's a very simple breakdown of why you shouldn't use octagonal gates, much less go out of your way to buy and install one:

When I first got my HRAP-EX a few years ago I put an octo gate on it because I liked how it felt like Nintendo's analog sticks (Which is why I preferred the NGC version of Soul Calibur 2 compared to the others). I dug it out of the closet after watching Evo a few weeks ago and swapped the square gate back in while I was redoing the buttons. I'm pretty sure I got some bad habits from riding the gate, mainly overshooting and doing unintentional jumps and stuff. With an octo gate you can get by with gross motor skills, but once you start getting better you'll be using your fine motor skills more; this is where a square gate has an octo gate beat, as illustrated by inthesto's image above (Issues hitting diagonals without riding the gate). Of course, it's your stick, so use whatever you think feels best, but as a fellow scrub-tier newbie I can definitely see the benefits of one over the other.

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:for as salty as the man is I loving laughed my rear end off at that A lot of people dont like chel! This pretty much mirrored some twitch channel I saw with 1k viewers yesterday called "The Black Hokage" in which a guy kept calling another player a "human being" because he was being beaten by the time honored strategy of jump back > fireball > shoryu on jump over and over again. This chel was literally backing himself into a corner and he couldnt get in. The character he was playing has an armored dash move and in spite of the channel laughing at him whilst telling him this, he refused to use it. I'd find the clip but I can't stand watching this guy for more than 5 minutes at a time.

According to the official forums (don't go to the official forums ever but) Chel's fireball is like 54f or so between startup and recovery, it's slower than Ryu's SF4 Hadouken. gently caress, it's Soul Spark, it's literally Soul Spark.

I really can't stop listening to this German guy cry over one match. The part that gets me is that every vitriolic thing he has to say applies to him. You just know he's one of the howling monkeys in every major stream talking poo poo about however else is bad. On the actual topic of Rising Thunder, Vlad is awkward as hell to play but man he's so much fun. He even has Urien's standing fierce!

The reason I prefer an octagonal gate is because when I've used them in the past, I was able to do exactly what I wanted when I wanted. With the cheap square gate on my brawl stick, I'd often move the character in directions I didn't want to move in at critical moments or screw up my input. Maybe my experience with a square gate are bad because, other than arcades, I've always used cheaper joysticks, so perhaps having a higher quality part and replacing the poo poo joystick on my stick would make me appreciate the square gate more. I guess I'd have better luck with a square gate if the spring offered more resistance rather than being "loose", so perhaps a stiffer stick would work better for me

You have to REALLY jam that stick into the corner for it to work. Mine has that problem and the other people I know who bought one say the same thing.

Mine has that problem and the other people I know who bought one say the same thing. THAT might be exactly it. If I purchase the better stick, I'll try it without the octagonal gate to see how it feels. It might entirely solve my issues. I remember diagonals being the biggest bitch and it frustrated me to no end

Seems like if you're at the stage where you're meeting friends at their house specifically to play SF, you'll have your own means of controlling it. We never share sticks when we meet up, but part of that is that mine is the only one that seems to get any love in terms of keeping it clean...
