spent two hours playing aquapazza today and I had incredible difficulty playing Tamaki on it, I actually ripped the skin off my finger trying to do 720s on that d-pad.

i don't know why I'm still playing aquapazza either

You can use hitbox if you want but there's still a fundamental difference from every other controller (it's not that it's all buttons): it has an additional piece of hardware that modifies your inputs. It's not banned anywhere AFAIK, but it lies in a gray area in that regard.

What SOCD cleaning can do is something like giving you a legit half-circle motion in a game despite physically doing a sloppy input on the actual hitbox. If you did this on a "dumb" box, you would just drop the input like you're supposed to. This is because of concessions it makes with inputs such as left+right = neutral, so left+down+right=down.

Is something like that a significant advantage in the grand scheme of things? Maybe, maybe not. I think top players just don't pick it up because it's not worth the risk for the time investment it would require.

ninja edit: not trying to argue just seemed like a couple things weren't clear. I actually find hitbox talk interesting, I'll drop it now though SORRY GUYS

How can you program against SOCD cleaners giving frame perfect dash inputs or being able to input opposite directions a frame apart without going to neutral (which is impossible on stick/pad).

You design your game or movement mechanics with the assumption that That Is Possible, so that the difference between a normal (high level) execution and the theoretical best hitbox / robot execution is minimized. Whether that's a frame buffer thing or something similar to what harada recently discussed w/r/t making an FG more online-friendly, I don't really know, I'm not being paid to develop your favorite FG.

I don't have confidence in Capcom or other developers ever looking at the internet and figuring out that there are other controllers than Hori Sticks and dualshocks though so I can understand the continued bickering about hitboxes. Maybe if we just mailed dimps and namco and arc system works a hitbox and a dozen cd roms with identical git pulls of the ps3 on ps4 drivers with some translated docs, someone over there will figure it out!

Literally until the games in question collapsed. Once MK9 and Injustice were solved, most of the non-dedicated NRS players were disgusted and jumped ship. They have the bad kind of top tiers.

I suspect nothing works because the game hasn't been released yet. You can already download something that launches the main menu, but no game content is out yet.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
NRS games don't last because their inability to make a good fighting game at a basic level leads to a ton of initial problems that require a ton of patching. This inability also leads to these patches introducing more problems that require more patching. The constant patches turn off non-NRS players until only the NRS players are left. Then 3 months later NRS stops supporting the game completely, it's still a mess, and the NRS scene falls off the face of the earth until the next NRS game where we repeat the same exact cycle.

So in response to your "LOL U JUST A DRUNK FRAT BOY U NOT SMART ENUFF FOR DA HARDCORE GAMES LIKE STREET FIGHTER!" or whatever the gently caress I have this to say in return: gently caress you in your stupid loving rear end, you whiny little bitch. If you hate Mortal Kombat and the people who play it so much, get the gently caress out of the thread. You don't see us going into the SF4 thread or the MvC3 thread and calling everyone anime faggots or something. So just shut your stupid loving mouth, if you can do that even. I know it's hard cause you've usually got a million cocks in it.

My Playstation died, and I can't play Tekken until 7 comes out on the PC. :(

In the meantime, I had some Amazon GC money burning a hole in my wallet, so I got Ultra Street Fighter or whatever on Steam. I'm really only barely OK at Tekken, but is there a character that I could use to ease myself into this game? Am I just hosed until I go through the school of hard knocks? Thanks, fighting game players.

Can't go wrong with Ryu or Balrog. Branch out however you like but between those two you can cut your teeth on how commands, spacing and movement work.

Yes you are hosed and you will get owned repeatedly.

As for what character to pick, mess around with a bunch, do some trials, and just play whoever you like best. Please don't listen to any posters telling you you can't play ________ if you're new.
