So my Hitbox came in the mail today. Pretty cool so far. Lots of stuff is way easier, like balrog dash up ultra and TK whatever(haven't tried burn kicks yet). It feels like I get 1 button fireballs and dps, though I'm not quite perfectly consistent yet, which is most apparent when doing ultras. I haven't tried marvel yet, but I'm looking forward to easier triangle jumps and backwards wave dashing. Most confusing part is thinking about jumping with my thumb, and even jumping with my right hand.

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.

Gammatron 64 posted: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? 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.

Sade posted:The only character left to reveal is Umbrella now, and we still haven't seen any gameplay of Painwheel. What's the release date on this game again? There is gameplay for painwheel here: http://www.gamespot.com/shows/on-the-spot/ I haven't watched it all, but she has focus attack-like normals which can be "charged" and absorb hits, and then the hits taken are added to the damage of the normal.

Bebopaloobop posted:I don't think this would be fun for anybody. Fighting game players like being able to play their character(s). The only gimmick tournament really that has worked is character auction, because there's some choice for the players in who they get to play. I liked the idea of the sf3 single character team tournament. Too bad Chun won with only three of the allowed five players. I think that could work in other games.

He'll teach you a lot of good fundamentals, he's extremely flexible regarding whether you play him aggressively or defensively, and he's a lot of fun to play--at least I've found that to be true. May as well just pick Wesker.

tzz posted:No. Even if you used the grid layout, which reduces building and actions to 16 keys, you'd still need at least 18 more (ctrl and shift, hotkeys, location hotkeys, space). And that's not counting stuff like hatchery cycling for injects that not everybody uses. Doesn't seem that stupid, at least as a keyboard replacement. Sanwa buttons are much easier and faster to press sequentially than keyboard buttons are. I wouldn't want to gently caress around with a trackball over a mouse, but there definitely seems like there is room for a keyboard replacement.

I Am The Scum posted:I have a quick stick question. I wanted to get the one in the OP, but it is no longer being manufactured, and costs far more than it should. Is there a current alternative available? Any "good" stick is going to cost at least $100. It may potentially be cheaper to buy a cheap stick, and put good parts in it, but I'm guessing you are still looking at around that much. I've heard the WWE brawlstick is the current recommendation for cheap sticks that are easily moddable, but I can let others who are more knowledgeable comment on that.

Rascar posted:Apparently there is going to be a new patch to 3SO. They don't say they are going to add a sound when you find a match with matchmaking. I don't play 3S really, but the most annoying thing about 3SO to me was not only that matchmaking took forever, it was that it didn't make any noise so I had to literally poll my tv to see if I found someone. I'd rather go look at my PC until I found an opponent, but now I miss them if I do that.

Unfortunately it is IPX only and not regular TCP/IP, so you can't do it simply over the internet, and it wouldn't scale well even if you could.

Heren posted:As a tangent off of this are there any free fighting games that would be good for getting into the genre? MUGEN is a thing but the impression I've gotten about it from various places online has not been good. The one Rokstar mentioned is apparently supposed to be a high-quality product but isn't available yet as far as I'm aware. Play old games on ggpo, it's illegal if you don't own the pcb, but free in practice. I would start with Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. As far as fighting games created with the intention to be released free, no I don't know of any good ones.

The Dark Wind posted:This might be kind of a weird question, but recently I've been getting really into fighting games. I've always been mediocre to terrible at them, so I've made it my personal mission to become competent and actually know how to play and approach them. Over the last two months I've picked up a good amount of the most recent titles include Tekken Tag Tournament 2, SSF4:AE, SFxT, and Persona 4, and I've been enjoying them all immensely. However, since it's kind of an overwhelming amount of options, I kind of just want to sit down and buckle/focus on one game. I'm wondering, at the current state, what would be the best game to focus on? in the future?

This contest is kind of cool, I do like the idea, but it seems to me like a better idea would have been the same contest for all 8 game slots. Let the community pick what games are at evo, makes perfect sense to me. Sure, it would probably guarantee that Smash got in, but surely 90% of the games on that list are more deserving of a slot than SFxT, and I think the community's donations would reflect that nicely. (This idea rests on my assumption that the community likes kof enough to donate for it. If not then gently caress it, scrap the whole thing!) Not to mention that it's a travesty that ST needs to win a donation contest to be at Evo while sfxt gets a free pass. Jeffrey of YOSPOS fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jan 31, 2013 |

mango sentinel posted:Super Turbo getting all this donations is making me sad I bet Skullgirls is doing a lot better than it would have if those ST big donors had done them early. Sure, smash people would have seen it coming, but I bet a lot of the SG donors are actually "not-smash" donors, and wanted to give to a contender. In short, I don't think SG really had a shot given the ST people's plans, and it was only because of how they did their donating that it appeared otherwise.

CVagts posted:Maybe I don't understand the fighting game community, but I don't agree with dissuading anyone from donating for breast cancer prevention/awareness. http://www.givewell.org/ If you really want to help human beings, there are much more efficient charities for your money. The Against Malaria Foundation can save a life with an anti-malarial bed net for African children for $5, doesn't that make more sense? If I donate to this, it is because of the Evo game. The fact that it goes to a nonprofit instead of some dude is a nice side benefit, but if I really wanted the money to do good for the world, I'd donate somewhere else. It is kind of weak to discourage donating to a winning contender six hours before this thing ends. I hope it is resolved soon or the contest is extended.

Fenn the Fool! posted:As inane as that ruleset is, it looks like it's for casual, 4-player, items-on, and brawl rather than melee. What do the rules for melee tournaments typically look like, anything outside of no items, final destination? They allow for more than just final destination. I think you can even play on poke floats and stuff.

Brosnan posted:Also it's worth restating that it's significantly harder to mod a PS3 stick to work with 360 than the other way around. This will be especially problematic if you get one of the SFxT Pro sticks, which are great sticks except that there's very little room to work with on the inside, so adding extra PCBs and stuff is very difficult. The only real solution to that is to get a total PCB replacement like the PS360+, which is a little pricier and tends to sell out quickly because of how handy it is for this particular case. For what it's worth, the PS360+ works quite well, and the mod (for a 360 stick at least) was quite easy. It was expensive($60 with no usb/rj-45 cable included) and it does sell out all the time, so the choice is yours. I am doubtful on the Cronus's devices latency claims, supposedly it is 2.5 ms of latency but who knows. If someone has one and wants to run that Guitar Hero test I'm sure it would be helpful.

Jmcrofts posted:Yeah, but those guys who make and sell Hitboxes have started hardwiring them so that it doesn't register opposite directions at the same time. Yeah, but it is still Capcom's bug. The ideal is having a pcb that lets you turn socd cleaning on and off, because in games like Tekken, having it on is pretty unfair. It seems like a shame that they had to put that in the hardware because of Capcom's poor coding. You can do the same trick on a pad if you feel like pushing the left stick and the right dpad button at the same time.
