Hmmm...so what do you use for QCB? Ring for down and pinky for back?
You can't really customise a keyboard.
Yes
These exist. The first hitbox panel I got from allfightsticks was like this. The reason they make them close is because you're actually supposed to mainly use your right thumb to jump (I don't, but still settled on the traditional close layout anyway).
It makes them *extremely* easy. Honestly the hardest part ends up being not doing movements *too fast*.
Middle finger down, index finger down, middle finger up, then punch/kick. Extremely easy, and much easier to do consistently vs stick where you need many hours to avoid hitting accidental diagonals.
The idea is that you are supposed to be able to hit "jump" with either left or right thumb; I'm not really a huge afficianado of fighting games but something something MvC3 "triangle jumps" are supposed to be much much easier when using right thumb.
The input leniency in recent fighting games allow you to play on whatever controller exist and enter a tournament without a problem lol.
I can see pinky for left working but middle then pinky for QCB feels weird for me.
Some advice: Don't use sanwa buttons for the movement buttons. Use something with mechanical keyboard switches instead like the Crown 202 MX or Gamer Finger (never used these ones so can't talk about their quality). Less noise and they just feel better for movement/directional input IMO.
Also hitbox is notoriously mediocre for classic fighters as I mentioned earlier. Best of all words is a good stick with a Brooks PCB.
Nah this just applies to recent fighting games with their incredibly lenient inputs.
I totally get where you're coming from so I'll definitely try it. It might just be a case of getting used to it. Just from trying it with my hand on my desk though, it feels weird because of how short the pinky is compared to the middle finger.
Very true. I went through KOFXIV's trials and I kept having to tell myself to 'do it slower'.
I mean, I literally just fuck around and the games I was trying it with was SF2 and SF Alpha 2, so I guess I'm not sure what counts as recent or modern. I tried some other classic FG's, though I can't specifically remember which, and found no trouble just slapping out the motions in any of em. My issue was that I had to make sure I wasn't... doing it too fast. That I had to make sure I waited to lift up my ring finger before pressing down with my index finger to get the distinct "down" input in.
This just sounds so wrong to me. I play piano and my natural tendency is to put most of my movement in my ring and middle fingers. Also, when just tapping my fingers on a table, my pinky usually just kind of hangs in the air. The idea that you think everyone is playing this the wrong way leads me to believe you're the one playing it the wrong way, lol.
Look at your keyboard and roll your index, middle and ring finger over "D", "S," and "A."
Fair enough. I hate my pinkies and their inability to do what I would like them to do when playing music (or fighting games). :)
Does a keyboard count? Cause I've been playing on keyboard since my pad died on me.
I hope someday slim hitbox will be more widely available.
I just tried this and it's not bad at all. Awkward to get used to if you're used to the "normal" way, but I can see the appeal.
Think of it just like a keyboard. Bottom key is just like a spacebar for jump button.
Oh, I meant in terms of artwork. It's a big appeal of owning fightsticks .
Yeah, there's not really space for it on a keyboard unless you can somehow print it over all the caps.
The official one costs $199US....most people seem to build custom ones though from places like allfightsticks.com
Yeh but it works great.
