I like this article because the guy he called out for "losing the spirit of Marvel" while spending a year in Korea is a good friend of ours. I actually played Marvel with said friend once or twice while in Korea, maybe I was part of the problem

He very politely tolerated me talking about smash and in retrospect I appreciate his courtesy. His comment about "if you're going to be a Smash player you probably already are one" is interesting. Did You Know It?? The specific platformer Smash is built from is Kirby's Dreamland, that's where you get the pass-through platforms and airjumps from.

I have this reoccuring problem since I switched to using a stick like months ago where everything feels good initially but the longer I play the more I can't really do a QCF motion. Like my first game I am going QCF like the dickens without a problem. But a half hour later it is like my wrist cant get through the motion all the way, so QCF - HK is coming out as a sweep. Like if I think super hard I can do it but the non-thinking lizard brain response part is costing me lots of matches because maybe my wrist is tired or something? Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe it is a joystick grip thing?

It's incredibly common to get sloppy joystick inputs (mike z special) and to press the button too early when you're in the heat of battle. Make sure you're tapping the button: both button presses and button releases (negative edge) count towards special move inputs in sf.

Getting clean motions is just a matter of practice and learning muscle memory, so just play more and don't hesitate to hit up training mode, even if it's just to shoot 100 hadoukens (and for fucks sake practice on both 1p and 2p sides!!!!). You should always try to input the motion cleanly instead of doing it asap every time (e.g. do the motion and then the button press, and gradually reduce the interval between the final directional input and the button press as you get used to it); you will naturally get faster as you progress. Think of it like good lifting form. Speaking of which this will sound like bro science but when I was practicing DPs against the super turbo ai, I would remind myself 'always make sure to walk forward' as to not input shoryuken as df d df, so maybe you can try something similar. Though you should absolutely do df d df + punch for DP if you're playing sf5 lol

My main issue with stick execution is when i need to mash out a super cancel quickly. Stuff like canceling a qcb special into a qcf x2 super in kof.

I can easily do the super motion, but doing it quick enough tends to make it less clean and miss inputs. Like
Qcb + punch -> d,df,d,df,f (missing first f)

Is there some general guide on execution that i should read/watch.

In SFV atleast, you only need df,d,df for uppercut, and only need d,f,d,f for super, just have to practice and be aware of which one you need depending on combo/situation.

Generally though, you want to shoot for accuracy over speed, speed develops very slowly over long periods of time (I mean like hours of practice every day over many years.) If you try to "force" the speed like many do in the heat of the moment, you will ALWAYS be inaccurate to some degree and over time will actually "learn" the mistakes as habits. Speed has to develop naturally, so you should practice accuracy above all else. This is actually true for anything, not just fighting games, tennis, violin, whatever, that's just how muscle memory is. The downside is it's extremely mind numbing and many dont bother though and just take their chances, especially since it's just a game you play and not a professional aspiration for most. It's still better to try for accuracy, for example if you're inputting qcb+p, qcf qcf+p, even if you're doing it too slow for the super to come out, don't try to force it, just keep inputting it ACCURATELY, as fast as you can while maintaining accuracy and after a week or two your hand will become fast enough on it's own.

Here is a rule of thumb: try to input qcf as slow as you can with input display on. If you see ANY slip up and you will, you have to understand that inaccuracy becomes exaggerated the faster you input it. You should not be making any mistakes at all when you're going slow. You have to unlearn the bad muscle habits and condition yourself to do it correctly and it's a very slow and painfully tedious process. If you're young and/or new to stick specifically, you may find yourself improving faster than you might think, as long as you are practicing accuracy.

For anyone with a ps4, this is cheap enough to justify buying it now, and then when it comes out on PC (early next year hopefully.) Wasn't PC sign only $30 bucks anyway?

I remember some story James Chen (I think??) told about Tokido, where he woke up and just practiced and E. Honda combo in CVS2 for about 5 hours straight. It's no wonder a player's execution is good when they've been doing stuff like that since 2001 or earlier.

I hit a corner TK bomber loop on a guy in Xrd on my first locals back after not playing for a month (when I usually just drop those endlessly in training mode and don't even bother going for them in actual matches). Sometimes you just rest and let the magic happen when you're not as stressed out about it.

I remember reading something about memory that said long breaks (more than "sleeping" on stuff, although that's also beneficial) actually help with improving memorization or grasping certain concepts. I assume that also includes muscle memory until a certain point.

It also really depends on the games you play. I think a lot of us probably began on SF2 cabs with American sticks which demand a pretty precise level of execution and extremely definite inputs. I could see how if you began with something like SF4 you might have to really grind it out in order to get your inputs down because a lot of modern games have really lax input (see: SF4 reading df, df as DP).

sfv reads practically any inputs containing df as dp. its really sloppy feeling to know for a fact you threw a fireball but get srk and cc'd into a huge combo because you made the grave mistake of walking forward prior to qcf and hit punch a frame early
