For people who are pad players, and specifically on the DS4, I assume you use the analog stick?

Absolutely not, haha.

D-Pad always, analog stick feels awful to me.

 

[lucebuce12]

Just play KoF, imo.

I was gonna say the same thing lol.

Why not play a game that already has running as a crucial component rather than want an existing franchise to add it?

For people who are pad players, and specifically on the DS4, I assume you use the analog stick? Because the control "pad" (four buttons) seems like it would be impossible.

What button layout? I get the face buttons for lk, mk, lp, mp, but what are the two heavy buttons? L1/R1?

Hitting two buttons at the same time seems awkward too. Do you hold the controller normally or with some weird claw grip?

Do you adjust stick sensitivities/dead zone?

I would love to be able to play pad and not have to bust out and plug in my stick every time. Knowing there are top-tier pad players has me tempted to convert.

Edit: Thank goodness for these matchmaking fixes. It seemed like there just wasn't any matchmaking happening at all and it was completely random up to a point. I'm a bronze/Super bronze and fought so many silvers up to ultra silver. Fuck that.

I use the default setup for the DS4, and haven't changed any of the sensitivities.

I use the analog stick for damn near everything with the only exception being more than one dashes or neutral jumping which is where I use the D-Pad.

 

[ElFly]

Pick Rashid?

Rashid is great about this cause he also has a special coming out of running

other characters could keep some momentum after running so they'd combo better

of course this could be possible with dashing too (IIRC marvel does it?) but capcom dgaf and prefers everyone spasming around like idiots

if this was a good argument we wouldn't have super moves in SF, so why not improve SF instead

 

[mnz]

That's not the reason. You obliterate huge parts of the neutral with a run.
It's not an improvement, it's a different game then.

It looks real dumb that Ryu just sits there and blocks a fireball. If only he could maybe step to the side and avoid it...

Maybe he could do a kick when he's getting back up?

If i use the ds4 its
Left thumb on pad
Right thumb on face
Pointers on triggers and bumpers.
L2 is v trigger and L1 is eiter all punchers or all kicks for v reversal.

 

[ElFly]

if only he had a move where he could like ... parry it

That's not the reason. You obliterate huge parts of the neutral with a run.
It's not an improvement, it's a different game then.

you could always add minimum run distance and a small recovery if it is too bad, but just have it be a continuous thing instead of the weird move characters do nowadays

 

[mbpm1]

if only he had a move where he could like ... parry it

Why can't the characters just walk to the side into the foreground and background to avoid moves

 

[mnz]

Nah, who would play that?

 

[mbpm1]

Nah, who would play that?

True, that game would probably never be released

 

[Marvel]

Low, mid and high doa counters when?

 

[Ace Harding]

I use D pad and most pad players do. The game is meant for digital inputs not analog.
Though there was a top XBL player who uses the stick. If it's more comfortable for you do that then.

When I hit two buttons for ex I usually do LP + HP (Square + R1) and the same for kicks. The only thing I find difficult is doing some Ibuki combos that want two face buttons for ex.

With that d-pad, for a fireball motion for example do you sort of roll your thumb across the down then right button? So the first contact point would be lower down on your thumb for the down input, then hitting both down and right, then roll off the down button so you're just pressing right closer to your thumb tip?

Or do just move one contact point on your thumb from one directional button to another?

I'm getting blisters just thinking about it. I have tried it and it feels impossible.

 

[Troubled Bat]

So, when are we going to find put about the next character? :T

 

[Ucchedavāda]

So, when are we going to find put about the next character? :T

Depends. When is the next leak?

 

[Dahbomb]

I use D pad and use the following set up on DS4.

*Face buttons defAult.
*R1 HP, L1 HK. Feels weird to use the triggers for face buttons.
*R2 for Throw. Really need that one button throw.
*L2 for triple input specific to the character for V reversal. So for Cammy I have L2 mapped to triple kicks.


Works out fine for me, I don't use claw style either... pretty much all thumbs and then four fingers for the back. I normally use [] + / or X + O for EX moves by using my thumb to press both at same time.

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

So I was playing Akuma for a while after the got released but a few days ago I switched by to my main Cammy to practice for a local tournament this weekend. It really made me wish that Cammy had a fireball and a crush counter that could hit crouching opponents. Really I just wish all my characters had everything while my opponents' characters had nothing. I was also trying to do bHP as an anti-air for a while before I readjusted my brain back into Cammy-mode. Is being able to switch characters without getting your brain confused something that goes away eventually? I've only ever really had one main in any given fighting game.

 

[mnz]

NuckleDu apparently uses analogue stick and dpad.

I would love to see a video of that.

 

[Marvel]

A friend if mine doesn't understand how I play Bison on D-Pad lol, I find it much easier than using a fightstick or analog stick. One positive I'll give the DS4 is it's D-Pad.

So good.

Rolling is key. Don't even think about trying to use the tip of your thumb. Maybe lots of people do that and I'm the weirdo, but rolling seems like the obviously correct technique to me.

I used to do the same before I moved to stick.

 

[mbpm1]

get on it ryce

I think alot of pad players do that. When i do it just comes out without thinking

 

[RM8]

I have been 100% d-pad all my life. Am I missing something by not using the analogue stick at all? I honestly don't feel like that's the case :x

 

[mnz]

I think alot of pad players do that. When i do it just comes out without thinking

And how do you do it? Like what does your hand look like when you do it?

 

[Producer]

And how do you do it? Like what does your hand look like when you do it?

i alternate between them. You mean nuckledu uses both at the same time? Thats pretty wild

 

[TheSpoiler]

It's gonna be Kolin.

Which makes waiting for the next characters that much harder.

Please let her play like Poison.

 

[mbpm1]

And how do you do it? Like what does your hand look like when you do it?

I heard he does Claw position or something

 

[mnz]

Yeah, at the same time. There has to be video of it somewhere.

I heard he does Claw position or something

That's what I think. Thumb on analogue stick, index finger on the dpad!?

 

[galvenize]

It's gonna be Kolin.

I want magic spells as special moves.

 

[Producer]

Du must be a monhun god

Magic cards as special moves. Complete with RNG.

Is Laura legit going to be Mika 2.0 for S2?

This site made a guide solely to counter her.

 

[OmegaTreeFish]

Is Laura legit going to be Mika 2.0 for S2?

I dont think its the same. Mika was a pain is S1 mostly because that clap was so safe and would lead to lots of damage, a corner carry and the other player was sat doing nothing for far to long. Laura has a strong mix up game but there are lots of times where you can counter her blender if you guess right. S1 mika got 1 clap and you felt like dropping the controller.

 

[Zombegoast]

I only evet used the dpad even with Gief

 

[CountBlack]

Give Laura:

Irish Whip that leads into corner carry, that leads into a 50/50
+3 fwd.HP that leads into a 50/50
V-Reversal that leaves her +2 in the opponents face aka 50/50
a cr.MP that avoids grabs
2 3f jabs
command grab loops
and maybe Hidden Missiles then we can talk about that b

I have a similar set up, only my throw is L2 and I think my V-skill is L1. I'm thinking about changing one of my face buttons to throw, it's easier to tech than the trigger, not sure if I could adjust to lk being on top though...

DS4 would be perfect if it came with 2 regular shoulder buttons. Sometimes, I'm sure I'm throw teching, but still get thrown because I didn't push the L2 trigger in deep enough for a response.

 

[ElFly]

p impressive that the last two fixes have had only one our of downtime

 

[Kashiwaba]

p impressive that the last two fixes have had only one our of downtime

What did they fix? o haven't played SFV for the past few days!

 

[Ucchedavāda]

Nah, the servers were down for about 2½ hours this time.
Still an improvement, I'll grant you that.

What did they fix? o haven't played SFV for the past few days!

They fixed the match-making, which would queue you up with people way outside your LP range.

 

[ElFly]

matchmaking was matching people with too big of a difference in LP

oh

still!

 

[Zombegoast]

So is matchmaking fixed? Faced countless diamond who didn't wanted to do rematches. Been playing Killer Instinct instead.

That's nice hopefully they start working on more meaningful daily challenges too.

 

[ElFly]

of course after the fix the mm has been matching me with just gold players so much I got kicked to super silver

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I hate running in fighting games tbh. That's why I never play Rashid.

I only need a running character in anime fighters, because walkspeeds are often painfully slow there.

while most people are fine with the default, I usually switch a few buttons to make it SNES style, where L1 is heavy punch and R1 is heavy kick, making L2 and R2 3P and 3K, respectively.

Grew up with sf2 on the snes so yeah I can't play 6 button fighters any other way either, dunno why sf4 changed it smh.

With that d-pad, for a fireball motion for example do you sort of roll your thumb across the down then right button? So the first contact point would be lower down on your thumb for the down input, then hitting both down and right, then roll off the down button so you're just pressing right closer to your thumb tip?

Or do just move one contact point on your thumb from one directional button to another?

I'm getting blisters just thinking about it. I have tried it and it feels impossible.

A combination of both, but more rolling, but then again I got huge blisters from the dreamcast dpad, so now my thumb is kinda numb to any further punishment

 

[ElFly]

I actually wear a glove to roll the dpad better

 

[allintospace]

Did they fix the rage quitting icons? Have they even addressed it since they disappeared?
