No, most of the time they are a MAME.
Nathaniel Evans
>Are arcade sticks a meme
yes, only reason you'll lose to a stick player is because they have played more then you nothing else. learn the inputs and you can beat people even with a DDR pad
James Morgan
No.
>muh preference
is the actual meme.
Go1 finally BTFO the padfurry.
Double tapping is objectively superior to single tapping or mashing fast.
Levi Scott
does this count? it's the standard controller
Hudson Hughes
face buttons are the only advantage over pad, movement with lever is objectively fucking shit compared to dpad
Eli Carter
I play cheatbox and I'm pretty good at SFV and tekken
John Watson
Yes and no. As far as doing quarter circles and DP motions, you can still do that shit on pad, but in a 6 button fighter where you have to push all 3 kicks or all 3 punches, that's infinitely easier on a stick
Jaxson Nguyen
I use the PDP Injustice stick while I wait for the right handed version of this beast.
Adrian Lewis
>6 button fighter where you have to push all 3 kicks or all 3 punches, that's infinitely easier on a stick
padbabbies usually counter this with "muh macros" but then they still can't piano.
The only way they can is by using claw grip, but at that point they should just use a fucking stick.
Leo Sanchez
Thinking they somehow boost your skills is a meme.
Jordan Torres
I'll just put this here.
Jackson Foster
This. If you're really committed you would pick up a cheater box otherwise you just make best use of whatever you play on. Example: Nuckledu abusing shenanigans with left stick and dpad.
The best advantage to a stick is that you're more capable of playing in any arcade if you ever intend on traveling.
Mason Davis
I still use the Mad Catz TE1 and SE, though SE has had its stock parts replaced with green sanwa parts to celebrate Dudley.
Anyone notice some directional input lag on the TW when the LS switch is on? I noticed it stopped after I flipped it back to DP but in all my years of using the sticks, I only just noticed that my character kept moving for a slight second with LP selected. Wondering what that might be.
Evan Hill
>*only PS4 controllers are included
Hudson James
No, because playing fightan on a controller will eventually fuck your dpad up
Jackson Mitchell
arcade parts get worn too
Camden Wright
just buy another one for cheap and replace it, but good luck fixing a worn out dpad rubber of a FC4 or DS4
Brayden Bailey
It's easier to replace arcade parts then replacing a d-pad on a standard controller
Jose Scott
>LS
Oh god you've been using it for years and just realized that it was set to LS?
Make sure your mouse acceleration is set to OFF as well.
Asher Barnes
I know the RAP4 has a meh PCB, but does anyone know if it has a headphone port?
Would anyone recommend it? There's a modded one I could pick up that saves me some shekels since it has almost exactly the mods I would apply to it myself. The "Wide but light" thing kind of bums me out but if I ever move on it would still be a good 2nd stick I imagine.
Charles White
>years
Nah, I think it might have been flipped to it recently as I only first noticed it playing SFIV the other week working on combo trials. Noticed Dudley's movement was a little of and attributed it to some lag. But last night I noticed it again, and that's when I came to the realization. Smart ass... ;)
Kevin Morgan
>headphone port
>in the age of discord
Literally why?
Kevin Rogers
>still playing SFIV
Ayden Edwards
Xavier Rodriguez
They should make an arcade stick for smash 5.
Anthony Jones
You know I mean ultra in which case
>Not playing SFIV.
Ayden Ross
>I know the RAP4 has a meh PCB
What do you mean?
John Kelly
got you bro
Adrian Mitchell
I just want to redirect sound from the controller. No big deal for me to put on headphones plugged in elsewhere since I'll be at my station, but kind of shitty in a tournament scenario.
Everyone bases input delay on one set of trials done by teyah. It's objectively not the best and there are reviews of dying boards, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal for most users.
Juan Rodriguez
>This controller is banned in smash events
I would find it baffling that anyone can play on this anyway. Is it that good?
Daniel Taylor
No it doesn't, I know the RAP N has one.
Christian Jenkins
>Only ps4 controllers
You retard.
Xavier Morris
Are you sure you're not talking about the PCB in the older models? I remember hearing the the latest models that use the Hayabusa buttons instead of the Kuro buttons fixed the input lag.
Brayden Gray
Uhh I'm a woman, "bro".
Hunter Williams
I wasn't trying to be a smart ass I just pitied you based on your wording with "years"
There exists one but the problem is that it uses an extra button to switch between running and walking as a JLF is digital.
However Sanwa have made a JLM and Ultimarc makes an UltraStik 360
Evan Lopez
learning how to use it, also I will mod it soon.
Bentley Hill
Xbox doesn't have any major fighting games there's no reason to buy one for it
Adrian Cox
pic related I've thrown together some artwork for it but I'm still dragging my feet on ordering a new plexi for it because I haven't had any free time lately
Jacob Perez
Years as in I never noticed that LS and DP did anything much different regarding the inputs as most of the time it never shifted out of DP unless on accidents. More curious as to why the extra bit of walking animation lag happens.
James Young
Wish I wasn't a poorfag. I love fighting games, but money is always pretty tight, so at most I think I could justify maybe $100 on a fightstick, and fightsticks under $100 typically have scathing reviews.
Luis Hall
qanba obsidian is no way in hell S-Rank tier lmfao. it can't even house most levers. but the etokki omni sure is
Grayson Russell
>razer
but why though
Matthew Powell
Noah Brown
only turbo nerds use sticks.
Wyatt Bell
it has tons of room to mount almost anything without having to go DIY. also opens up lambo style without having to deal with 6-8 screws.
Bentley Murphy
I'm legit am thinking about ordering a hitbox. Anyone have it can tell me how it is? Is it more comfy than a stick?
Hunter Phillips
>>>not the b0xx
fucking pathetic
Logan Jones
not him, but it doesn't have the atrox disconnection problems and it's just as good as any other high end stick
Jaxson Scott
nah baby girl. That's good for Genesis games but I can also use a stick for them.
Benjamin Ward
How much time did you play on a stick? If you're not used to keyboard inputs then it's gonna take a while
>Is it more comfy than a stick?
Unless your left hand has carpal tunnel or any wrists problems, then no.
Adam Cox
explain to me why not without just regurgitating "lel razer bad" it's easily the best stick on the market right now and the disconnection meme is old as hell
Jordan Hughes
people that bought one will tell you only biased opinions to justify their purchase. with hitboxes you have to take a leap of faith and buy one or know a friend that has one and try it out for yourself.
Cameron Edwards
>How much time
Since MvC3 came out. I've never even bothered playing with keyboard inputs
Fuckk
Jordan Watson
that fightstick is honestly the only thing Razer has ever done right.
Xavier Jackson
>post yours
Considering its my first stick, I've been really happy with it so far, though it didn't take me long to adjust since I used to play in arcades a lot as a kid anyway.
My one major gripe is that the buttons feel too floppy and sensitive, I'd really like to swap them out for buttons that need a good amount of force to be pressed, I'm not into this zero resistance microswitch nonsense. If I wanna press a button I'll fucking press it, I don't give a fuck if its a fraction of a fraction of a second slower to apply some force, it kinda sucks accidentally pressing a button because your pinky just slightly grazed it.
Any recommendations for good buttons to get as replacements?
I've been having a really hard time finding info about buttons that have what I'm looking for, ideally they'd be similar to the Xbox style jewel buttons where it takes a decent amount of force to press them but once you've use enough force they just pop down and spring back up once you're done
I'd like to get an octagonal gate for it someday too, but at this point I think I'm getting used to the square gate
Adrian Lee
isn't the rap n3 full sanwa?
Jackson Rodriguez
Dang. I asked for a Mayflash F300 for christmas because it was only £50.
Ryder King
you can mod it dude
Jonathan Nguyen
Just buy a Mayflash F500. That's a good one.
Henry Long
>Unless your left hand has carpal tunnel or any wrists problems
exact opposite, I have terrible wrist problems which is the reason I originally switched to stick, I've tried out my friends hitbox since and it was super uncomfortable stick is the way to go
Camden Williams
Eh. I'm fine with it.
I only use it for Emulators anyway (Fightcade and MAME)
Tyler Bell
Are there any good fight sticks out there for like $50 or $80 or is that just asking for too much?
Carter Jenkins
getting a used ps3 hori/madcatz stick from ebay
Hunter Perry
F500 was made for modding. it was worth $80 in my opinion.
Jace Scott
You can make a stick out of tupperware if you want to.
Christopher Stewart
I vastly prefer it, but I've always hated sticks. It's so easy doing 360 motions with it.
John Brown
They're the best way to play a lot of genres, for aesthetics if nothing else
If you play a lot of MAME you really should own a stick
>start button on the bottom and fake instead of being on the top of the panel (where it is on the real cabinet anyways) and being a real start button
why
Easton Miller
I've never used a stick.
Should I make a stick or a hitbox since I'm start from 0 muscle memory either way.
Kevin Ward
>Are arcade sticks a meme?
They pretty much are, since D-pads are superior to sticks in every application that doesn't require constant weird rotation movements (= fighting games and not much else).
Also even fightsticks are a meme because they're always stick-on-left when it's objectively better for the right handed player to have the stick on right.
Hunter Morris
If I ever get a custom plexi, it has to be either MVS or Sega style. They look great
Connor James
Buy the buttons, a joystick and a PCB and make a stick out of a cardboard box. It doesn't have to look pretty as long as it works.
Gabriel Anderson
>shitwa parts
>listed as a +
kek, seimitsu master race, faggots
Leo Lewis
i have one of those things, but for the life of me i cant get it to connect to my PC, all it does is blink on and off
Benjamin Brown
>got myself a Qanba Obsidian
>randomly disconnects and I keep getting 2 seconds where I cant do any input
>only solution is to plug it in, test if it works, if not repeat
>it happens in the middle of matches
Getting really frustrated here. It works sometimes sometimes it doesnt and I have no idea how to fix this shit. Fuck PC gaming
Thomas Gray
Hitbox is only for fighting games.
Sticks are for fighting games and everything else. (shmups, emulation, etc.)
Also more variety in levers, not one is the same and all of them can be modded to your preference.
it's really up to you.
Parker Young
Look into the new Seimitsu's with heavy tension springs. They're on ArcadeShock
Camden Morgan
Mayflash F300 and the Qanba Q1/Carbon are good considering their price.
Samuel Gonzalez
Man is the LS-32 trash. I can't believe it's Seimitsu's most popular stick.
Jaxson Hill
Semitsu buttons are what you are looking for
Juan Morris
obsidian is a shit gimmick fightstick. most qanba are.
Jeremiah Robinson
Just save?
Even at $20 you can get a high-end one by the end of the year.
Lincoln Wright
I don't plan on using it for anything but fighting games.
Everyone always talks about the advantages of a hitbox over stick, but are there any disadvantages?
Asher Phillips
yes it's shit
Luis Sullivan
How is making your own more expensive? That is literally one of the two reasons I want to build my own stick. All the parts are $60, unless wood and a bit of plastic is $140 at your place, I don't see how it is more expensive.
Carter Jones
>Soymitsufag
Stay number 2, boyo.
Jackson Moore
If by any chance you'll get carpal tunnel you'll get it on both hands instead of just your right hand.
Joshua Howard
>tfw fell for the hori meme
at least I got free sanwa buttons and ls 32 from an arcade owner I know
Oliver Russell
>but are there any disadvantages
yeah, not being able to master it. it's probably the most common problem with people. i'll admit i'm not a pro with one either, you gotta learn and dedicate your time to it. it really is just preference in the end.
Ryder Fisher
>wahh my noodle arms are too weak to press seimitsus
>calling seimitsu users soy
jej
Dylan Brooks
If you have tools and scrap wood laying around you could make the box and buy the parts. If you don't have the wood, you can buy an unfinished box off of amazon for ~$12. If you don't have the tools, it will end up being just as expensive, if not more expensive than a $200 stick.
A brooks PCB, the buttons and the stick will run you about $100 and that's all you really need.
Nathaniel Long
>using the ls-32 when the ls-40 exists
Eli Sanders
that list is garbage, don't trust it.
Noah Hernandez
I wanted an ICO remake to happen but after that shitshow of a SOTC remake I'm glad there isn't one.
Cameron Hall
are you upset that you fell for the "hori meme" because you dislike your stick or because a Sup Forums infographic called you a nerd
Oliver Morris
got the rap n "tekken edition" for my first cuz it was 100$ on clearance
cant say i like it 2 much but you get used to it after 2 days and gets the job done
plus i played xrd as my first fighting gaym
any pointers to sites/communities about the game in depth..like autism tier deapth path to evo tier
or should i drop the game and go for sth else for first..i dont have 2 much trouble with it desu
Ethan Robinson
You can try building one; I spent on it no more than US$65.
Brandon Gray
Doesn't that only happen if you keep your wrist at an angle instead of flat?
Sebastian Perez
What fighting games are you going to play? I personally think hitbox is shit for tekken and great for 2D games.
Landon Nelson
well the stock stick was way too loose for my liking but after replacing that and the pcb im good with it desu
