If you want to win some online matches, then you want to play against me, Spongerobert.

I gave up on ranked matches today. 11 matches. 3 losses, 2 wins, 6 disconnects when I was about to win or right after I had won.

What's the loving point, man?

It's old tech they've implemented before, so it's safe to assume they're at least aware it's a thing.

I wish I'd known that Hori silent stick was so awful before I ordered it last week. It'll probably be needs suiting anyway.

Especially since the fightstick in my favorite cabinet was some kind of ersatz pit fighter conversion or something.

^ At the sponsors' behest?

Mainly it's a concern about the input lag because that's infuriating, but if the solution is to just plug the thing in I'll totally do that because I'm lazy.

Naw that's probably a Sony issue, their third party controller situation is weird. Pausing a tournament so some guy who'll finish eleventeenth can gently caress around with his mangy bespoke poverty stick is a good idea.

At least the PS4 has ION drum support out of the box :(

So my Hori RAP4 Silent showed up today. Initial thoughts:
  • Haven't noticed any lag yet
  • I'm pretty sure I can push these buttons with a strong thought. Lots of accidental presses thanks to years of bad practice on arcade machines with some play in the buttons. Are these things touchscreens or something?
  • Man this stick is short
  • Four degrees of freedom in a joystick feels effin weird, and the DP motion feels like it's getting resistance in all the wrong places. Is there an aftermarket plate I can put in this thing or is just just an eccentricity I need to get used to?
  • Speaking of freedom on a joystick, I'm not sure I've been to the planet where this thing is silent. Every move has a noticeable clunk sound associated with it.

I want to like Gief but he is not good and I am not good so we're not a good match.

Why not just DP like it's shown in the command list, a Z in the lower right quadrant of your stick's gate. Everyone knows how to make a Z.

Because some of us didn't have command lists in 1993 when we learned how to play :bahgawd:. That 3-5-3 wrist flick thing has been perfectly serviceable up until pretty recently and it's hard to unlearn. F-QCF works but it's kind of a goofy motion, so let's try things your way for a bit.

If you learn to do DP the wrong way and go to play another game that requires the proper input, it will really suck and you'll have to re-learn a lot of muscle memory.

"Another game" meaning SF: The Movie The Video Game, Art of Fighting, King of Fighters or Time Killers; I never could DP properly in those games. Wasn't a problem in any of the other SF/MK/Samurai Showdown titles I'd tried.

Maybe the omnidirectional Happ sticks were too forgiving and I'm just spoiled :)
