Does /v/ own a Fightstick?
>>334766331
Q4 and a TE2+.
>>334766331
nah, been meaning to pick one up for ages now though
using a PS1 pad for now
>>334766331
yes, the q4
>>334766331
No because I play Tekken and the buttons flow perfectly with a controller.
Street fighter was never good it was just easier for fags to get into because it lacked any depth.
My friend has been hyped about SFV since it first got announced
He got it day 1 with a $200 fightstick
3 weeks go by and I ask him if to let me try
He hand me a DS4. We run a set of 5 and I win 3-1
He no longer plays SFV when I come over
No and watch, it's gonna quickly turn into some faggot saying some shit about /v/ being bad at fighting games.
Then someones gonna link to the video about the saltyness in the FGC, then someones gonna mention LTG, and somehow they're gonna relate this to smash and bash it.
Also, don't forget the fucker that talks about how fighting games are "archaic" because of the inputs.
i fucking hate this place
>>334766615
yeah bro LOL! fighting sticks are for babies!
Rock on broseph and keep on kicking some ass!
Just ordered my first yesterday, a q1
QUICK
WHAT FIGHT STICK SHOULD I GET IF I WANT TO GET INTO KI, GG, and SF?
>>334766331
>owning a memestick
Overpriced trash
>>334767091
Maybe the Shadaloo TE+ it's $200 and hella good
>>334766331
Owning a fight stick is living proof that you are a millennial that has lost the capability to adapt with the times, are are clinging onto a dead medium for hopeless nostalgic purposes.
No, too poor.
There's a reason I only play anime fighters
>>334767321
SO, why are you still playing games with mouse and keyboard?
>>334766331
Yes.
>>334766331
Yup, pic related.
yeah my $60 one from SF4 still works
the stick is kind of overrated but the buttons are really comfy
>>334766331
I don't know if I'm included in this poll but no, since I don't play fighting games
>>334766331
Nope, too much of a poorfag to buy a good one.
Decided on a nice pad instead. Works great for SFV, gotta get used to it for anime fightan.
>>334766331
I use a keyboard for fightcade
Half circles are still a bitch though, but pretzels are smooth as fuck
>>334767138
is it worth spending $150-$200 on a fight stick?
>>334768329
Madcatz is hella overpriced. Go to /fgg/ they have have a fightstick tier list and can probably find you a better one than that for less.
>>334768456
thanks
Does anyone know if pic related is good, not only for mk but also for sfv?
One on my lap right now. HRAP 4, having fun losing multiple times.
yeeesh
sanwa forever
>>334766707
kek found the friend
>Muh fighting sticks
>yet people balk at a solid investment from $100 to $150 for a mechanical keyboard that will last them 7-11 years with top performance
>>334768540
>glossy
Just get a Hori Fight Commander 4, same layout, matte finish, and quality buttons to boot.
No. They're essentially pointless.
Yes, but it's pretty much a waste because all I do is play 3rd strike on fightcade with a sub 3 mbps connection and I get violently angry when I lose so I don't play much at all
someone help me
a guy in my class says he uses this.
i'm not even into fighting games but i feel this stickless stick is retarded.
Gonna order a TE2+ along with an octogate next week probably.
>>334766331
Yes a hori vlx.
Will probably get another smaller stick that will probably be used so that the former doesn't get too much wear and tear. Might go for a madcats this time or another hori.
old pic cba to take new one
>>334769010
>octogate
for what purpose
>>334768932
nah its alright
goes on principle of keyboard and in old games lets you block in two directions at the same time
kinda cool but deffo not for me.
>>334766331
Yeah, you posted it.
>>334768932
what size button is the jump button on a hitbox?
>>334768610
Nah mate
sanwa stick
semitsu buttons
best combo <3
>>334768932
gitting gud with a hitbox means being able to do shit that others can't (or much less consistently) like a standing 720 degree motion super/ultra.
>>334768540
>Does anyone know if pic related is good, not only for mk but also for sfv?
No, apparently the switches in it are super cheap. Thought about buying one, but reviews are split between "meh" and "Fucking piece of shit does not correctly respond to imputs."
>>334768540
maybe in ps4 mode should work as native usb controller.
also the ps3 drivers work really well with wired controllers
>>334769086
I just like the feel of it more. All the arcades here have octogate sticks and using square feels too weird to me
>>334766331
i have that one!
buttons are waaay too sensitive for me.
>>334769307
bottom right big orange one.
It's just like playing on a keyboard.
>>334769086
>for what purpose
More precise diagonal input.
>>334769495
thats cool dude
try circle too, hell gates are like a fiver each why not have all three
>>334769179
>>334769427
interesting. guess i should try it before i rag on it. whole thing seems weird.
>>334768610
nah, I go with seimitsu
>>334769596
no, what size? 30mm? 24 mm?
>>334766331
I won a horii SCV stick. Tried it, can't for the life of me fathom how people can even manage to make their character walk 2 steps without jumping/crouching.
Same with "fightpads". The stick button layout never worked for me, much prefer the shoulder button macros. Not to mention the meat of these pads, the d-pad is almost always shitty. PSX/2/3 pads are really the only ones that enable full functionality for me.
>>334769603
you mean less precise right?
>>334768739
tfw I own both and also a premium joystick and a throttle and headtracking and I want to get rudder/racing pedals soon
peripherals are good
>>334769675
you practice, but really it's your grip
if you are jumping, you are holding it wrong
most people do the wine glass, stick between ring and middle
and daigo does shaft between ring and pinky
SCV Madcatz. Looking to upgrade to a Hayabusa Hori (but if I don't like the buttons I have a spare set of Sanwas at least. Last time I tried I liked the Lever but the old Kuro buttons were mad ass).
So far from what I've looked up the Hayabusa buttons are way better than the old Kuros.
Also, tfw Korean parts are expensive as fuck. Really would like that sweet Fanta lever after having played one (SC2. Busted B button aside shit felt good) on our local arcade.
>>334769647
its all got its merits, its good fun experimenting with input schemes
I'm thinking about buying a hitbox. My keyboard is pretty shit and doesn't feel comfortable to play with. Any cheap ones that are worth it?
I was thinkin of getting one but I hear they're expensive. People make their own right? Anyone here?
No, I play with keyboard
>>334768739
old keyboards from 90s feel the same , sturdy and precise .
before ps2 port, keyboard were very solid
>>334769829
I tried every grip anon. Its just not working out for me. A whole month and still couldn't handle basic movement. And by that I mean in times where it mattered like being pressured, trying to pressure, on wakeups etc. Anyone can calmly move his character when there's no pressure involved but that's not what I want.
>>334769647
https://youtu.be/dGU1d-cmtuQ
They made a video demonstrating how it works. Looks pretty simple to use.
>>334769661
jump button is 30mm. Rest is 24mm.
>>334770089
I dont know what do say anon, I got my first stick about a month ago and about 2 hours later, I was throwing fireballs consistently
>>334770089
the stick is pretty shit desu
thumbstick is much better at movement because you use it for 99% of games the same way
I wish there were a "stick" with a thumbstick and normal arcade buttons on it
>>334770223
that's weird
>>334770001
Check there, the fighting stick SS i got at a car boot sale, broken for a fiver
Opened it up, tore out all the hori shit, installed semistu stick and buttons and put in a new pcb for sum total £45. Thats an easy way.
There are cheaper cases and cheaper pcb's out there especially if you can get creative, it isnt hard at all.
>>334769070
>>334768291
>FC4
Muh nigga, got myself one over the summer and love it to death.
>>334770001
you can order the sanwa parts online
idk madcatz is really expensive now. The SF4 SE sticks looked better for $60 than the mini shit sticks they sell these days
>>334766331
Can't use a stick for Melee.
I play with a keyboard because I'm poor
>>334770339
>thumbstick is much better at movement
I have no idea how analogue is better for 8 directions than 4 microswitches
I have a Hori RAP.V Hayabusa
>stock stick
>Kowal Octo plate
>Kowal 1mm oversized actuator
>sanwa balltop
>buttons are the sanwa housing but OBS-MX cherry blue mechanical switches
>start button is standard sanwa
I'm ready to add custom art, but the face of the stick is really narrow in comparison to the TE2, I need some design guides for narrow images
>>334770089
It was hard for me too anon.
Took a couple months until it became like an extension of my arm.
Now i can't use anything esle, i feel severely gimped using controller though its definitely not impossible most times i'll refuse 6 or 8 button fighters on them.
it takes time for some of us. I dont know why but thats the breaks.
You'll get it eventually, for me it took entirely retraining my mind. New character, new fighting game and entirely new input scheme.
I'm a super clumsy oaf irl so that doesnt help lmao
>>334770089
Man, that's rough. I have probably the same SCV stick you do but I've adapted to it just fine. Then again I used to play a lot in the arcades so it comes with that.
Maybe it's more of say, your mindset I guess? Also if that ain't working out for you you always have pad anyway.
>>334768291
I heard you can do crafty padhacks with this. Considering that from where I live, stuff like the Brook Board are mad expensive I'd probably want to look into that one I guess. That and an old 360 pad if I can figure out how.
>>334770603
https://youtu.be/H3AUEcGN2Zs?t=43s
>implying
>>334769070
what's that big gap in the hori stick for?
>>334770717
>>334770730
Its cool. I used to get really annoyed because people would always get on my case for not being "fightstick masturace". Until I managed to come this far in execution with a pad. Webm related.
Charge inputs are ok too I guess, just much more painfull for the finger that's gotta hold the charge. Guess that's the only advantage sticks still have from how I see it, maybe plinking too but I got past that hurdle with pure execution. Still managed to have a pretty lame DeeJay sub and now I can mainAlexin SFV.

>>334766331
I own a Fighterstick
>>334771420
nigga plz. talkinmg about execution in a game where everybody does
LP,super
>>334768797
Play shmups with it.
>>334771420
just play on whatever makes your comfortable
>>334771709
This. Or platformers like Dustforce that require some fighting game-ish inputs and high APM.
>>334771709
I play a lot of DoDonPachi and beatem ups with my stick as well
>>334770341
The jump button is accessible to both left and right thumbs, and you're supposedly able to pull of some crazy shit because of it. That's why it's bigger.
>>334771420
pfft
people talk shit all the time no matter what you do
still though, deejay is a great character so that put a smile on my face and yeah if you can do what you need on pad theres no issue dude. it's all cool.
>>334766331
Yeah, but it is busted.
>>334766331
yeah but it hasnt gotten a lot of use lately
>>334766331
I don't but I do own a DJDAO
>>334766331
What's a good pc fightstick?
>fighting games on pc
Please anonkun
>>334772310
It was expensive, but is sturdy as fuck.
>>334771420
At this point I agree with >>334771815. Go with whatever doesn't hurt your hands.
Right now I've had to put up with a DS4 for PC KI (via input wrapper) because Stick Support is kinda fucked for that game outside of Joytokey or Xpadder. It's all right. Can't consistently do light autos/manuals because the timing is a bit too fast for me at this point but I'll adapt eventually.
>>334771862
I use a Joystick for local Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Not quite good enough to the point of doing the trick jumps outside of the Jonathan sonic strike jumps, but at least ok enough for shit like jump kick movement and spamming Omnia Vanitas.
>>334772410
Most of the current ones are all right but make sure to look up which sticks work with whatever game you wanna play.
>>334772428
I would have liked one myself but it's gonna be hard to lug that beauty around.
>>334772469
Is KI alive enough to learn and get into or am I too late?
>>334772410
Nigga all sticks will work on pc.
Find one of those stick tier lists. I personally use the quanba fusion cause Im a god
I'm a pad player, and have been all my life, but I've always wanted to try a stick. I just don't want to shell out 200 bucks and find out that none of the skill is transferable and, thus, have the execution of a toddler.
How long does it take to gain full control of it?
so when do the other brands come out with their PS4 stick
Yeah but it's been in its box for a while now.
>>334771706
I wasn't talking about execution in 5 but in 4 but if you gotta bring up the "sf babbies" meme then here. I did this with a pad too. No need to be defensive, I ain't dissing on stick players, just thought I'd share my troubles and possible autism in being unable to do work with them.
>>334772181
>>334772469
Thanks anons. For once I'm not getting shat on for saying I can't handle fightsticks. I'll just stop writing now.
>>334766331
Yes
>>334768291
>>334770548
Only problem is the D-pad turning by itself while being locked.
>>334772608
>I would have liked one myself but it's gonna be hard to lug that beauty around.
It's 16 pounds. Weird how one day I'm like, this thing isn't that heavy at all. Then, another day, I need a crane.
>>334772794
I personally haven't had a problem with it since I locked it extra tight but there is a new FC4 without the rotating Dpad and Xinput support right out of the package.
>>334771420
With all due respect, SF4 has very lenient inputs. We're talking about a game where you can get a shoryu by just mashing between defensive and offensive crouching position then hitting the button.
>>334772694
Mmm, i dont know this game, is that an at all practical combo or just for laughs?
You play anything on fightcade?
i bought a used one and i regret it. i prefer regular controllers.
>>334772614
Depends. I've had poor luck finding matches online since >third world country but outside here it's probably alive enough.
There's a strong-ass amount of content in sites like the infil guide. And the tutorial does teach you solid shit too.And if you want I'd try play you on PC at least, but expect lag.
>>334772778
I still need a goddamn converter for my Saturn Twinstick. That shit's beautiful.
I'm also eyeing a good condition second hand Dreamcast twinstick because I do already have Oratan around.
>that feel when I want to get into fightan gaems but haven't made it past being a casual
Should I just go deep into SFV? GGXrd? If so, for PS4?
Yeah, but I just use it for arcade games.
hrap vx sa
had it for years and it still works like a dream
What does /v/ think of Seimitsu buttons? I've been thinking of replacing them when I get the cash, and I've heard Seimitsus have much more tension behind them.
>>334773147
Just try out a bunch of games and see what clicks.
>>334773296
I always use semitsu and hated sanwa and hori buttons
>>334773147
SF5 is a very good fighting game for new players, but the concept of links may be kinda difficult
my first fighter I wanted to be really competent was Xrd and I was with the DS4
When SF5 came out, I bought a stick and started using that, but I cant play Xrd as competent as I was before
>>334766331
A Q1 with Sanwa stick and buttons.
Just got a larger Kowal actuator and higher tension spring. Shit feels buttery smooth.
>>334766331
Mexican fellows where do you bought them other than paying extra in places like amazon and so?
>own a hitbox
>tendon problems in my hands, input problems
>have to mash constantly
>will never be able to git gud at fighting games
>that's all my friends want to play
>>334773487
Adding more to this, when Rev hits, PC
I'll put in the time again, GG was dope
>>334773980
Tendon problems? I'm sorry to hear, anon. Were they caused by games in any way? Are you okay for other genres, or are you stuck with turn-based games?
>>334772794
I had someone else tell me about that but I have never personally had it happen to me.
>>334766331
yeah biggest waste of $230 ever
>>334766331
Do I look like a nigger to you?
>>334774206
Shit, why thou?
Also why didnt you start with those 80 bucks starters?
>>334766331
Same as OP's pic.
Pretty solid, but not my style. I wish I bought a Hitbox instead. Or replace the Sanwa stick with a Seimitsu.
>>334766331
No, I dont fell for that meme, also it wont make you any better unless you put hundred of hours in it, that time could be used in your controller and actually git gud
>>334774930
Why would you think a change in tools will make you good instead of just picking that which feels most comfortable for you?
why are padfags so insecure
>>334774151
I can do shooters and turn based, but anything that requires rhythm/methodical use of my pinky, ring, and middle fingers is just fucked
I can't half circle consistently because of it, for example
>>334775698
Are you sure they're pad fags. It's most likely either false-flagging or b8 m8.
I mean the other pad dudes here earlier were nice enough I guess.
I never felt right playing any fighting game without a stick save for older guilty gear. I was too poor as a kiddo to have a good one up until ac so I used what i had.
No.I own 5 fight sticks
the legend
What stick should I get for SFV?
>>334780112
Something with Xinput support to make things easy. I hear the Hori PS4 sticks work fine out of the box but I'm not sure
Anything else you may get you'll have to find workarounds like say, x360ce.
>>334766331
Any good site to order them online or just to get the good parts without paying tons of tax imports?
TRY TO NAME A FUNNER FIGHTING GAME
I'LL WAIT

Does this count? If so then yes. Fucking love it
>>334780619Fight Feverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7scSFU0mis
Would you guys say learning to use stick is a necessity?
I'm really interested in getting one, but I'm strapped for cash at the moment. That, and I haven't been doing too bad with pad.
>>334780836
It's been mentioned above but go with what you're comfortable with.
Sticks are not quite a necessity but they do help with more precise movement. That and guys who used to play in the arcades feel a bit more right at home I guess. Or at least, that's how I feel about it.
I don't play fighting games but I'm a huge shmup/arcade game fanatic
Was thinking about picking up a fightstick. Should I? Any decent options?
>>334780752
Why would you pay top cash just for a box and buttons when you can make one with the same buttons and shit for 1/4 of that money?
>>334781046
You say that as if adding a stick would be any more work/effort. With that mentality there's no reason anyone shouldn't just build their own stick period
I would but I can't find a stick on the right side, and I don't play many fighting games, I think i'd mainly use it to play SNES and NES and maybe N64 games.
pic related
>>334781359
not that pic tho, this one
I brought mine last year. Someone told me it was shit, but I have almost no problems with it so far.
>>334781163
There is a reason. To get a licensed PCB. You can't get a licensed PCB with a hitbox. Buying one is retarded.
>>334766331
My SC5 madcats stick is on its way... Shoudlve been here yesterday actually
Cant wait to finally try to get gud in fighters/shmups, always wanted the arcade experience at home
>>334781449
*bought
Also is there a better way to deal with the pain you get in your left side of your left hand after playing for about an hour or two.
>>334781564
Either wrist exercises or breaks. Or change your grip to something you're more comfy with maybe?
>>334781564
Change your grip. There are quite a few different grips and most people change them on the fly while playing.
How am I supposed to hold the stick
>>334781813
Grips vary wildly. Just pick one that's comfortable.
>>334771246
its a switchboard for turbo buttons, if that's what you're asking about
So you can set each one to turbo but i've had it rewired as just additional unnamed inputs for whatever. I could map one to be a button held down if I wanted but it's not come in useful in fighting games at all
>>334781813
index and middle finger on one side, thumb on the other almost cupping the ball the other two fingers are wherever they feel like being at the time
i dash by patting the stick with my palm or the outer side of my hand for the other direction
its worked so far
>>334781256
>I would but I can't find a stick on the right side
make it
