AAK, how long did your conversion from dualshock to stick take?
Trying to learn it now and failing miserably at it, lol. I saw tutorials and was floored by how fast they were doing wavedashing. I would get carpal tunnel at that speed.
Yo sup! It took me a while!
First thing, was to change from playing regular controller style to claw style. I just had to get used to not using my thumbs for one hand and get slightly accustomed to it. That way when learning stick I could 100% focus on what my left hand was doing vs my right hand.
Second, I wasted a lot of time just fiddling and not playing smart. What I SHOULD have been doing (which is what I do now) is analyzing why my inputs would come out wrong. For example, if I'm trying to do d/f+4 with some character like say Julia. If I accidentally get f+4, that means I'm not lowering my fingers enough for the gate to recognize a down motion. If I get a d+4, then I'm not having my phallanges push or pull to the horizontal ends enough for the gate to click.
But overall Sayah, I think you are an exceptionally talented individual when it comes to gaming. Every new game you pick up you always do significantly above average from all the games we played whether it be SFxT, Virtua Fighter, or recently SF4. In your case, just try and play your regular game and let your natural talent guide you through. I mean, it's kind of like back in Tekken 6 during Aris's EWGFriday streams. There was that one day when former EVO T5DR champ Arario who long retired was visiting the arcade. Everybody persuaded him to enter the tournament despite him being a pad player and only previously played T6 a handful of times. He still won the tournament just with fundamentals, it was pretty crazy to see. I'm sure you can pull through in the same fashion .
But yeah... do take it slow. When I was learning stick I was actually playing Raven who didn't have any meticulous wavedashes. Only moved to the more demanding characters like Hwoa, Kazuya, and DJin and such after familiarizing myself enough with the stick.
Proud of myself. When I first started playing this it was impossible for me to do wind roll combo's with Jaycee, now it's easy as hell. Feels good man.
Tekken has by far the most generous input leniency. That makes the windroll combo's pretty easy to do. Glad you're enjoying the character!
