eh, I just have fun laying into nerds trying to enforce a certain style of gate

you can use whatever gate you want, I'm just going to continue to encourage new players to not use an objectively worse control scheme. please continue using octogate!

My reasoning is that square is better for quick dp's while octa is better for a rolling motion, easily nailing quarter and half circles. It helps for me getting instant dive kicks and whatnot

If you don't ride the gate (and you're not meant to), squares are just as good at rolling motions. Remember that any stick movement beyond when you trip the switch is wasted.

See, this is why I play pad, no one can judge me on my gate choice. It's also why I only play characters with braindead execution, but that's besides the point.

I don't see any octagons. Or even a gate for that matter. The square thing on the right is the piece that actually triggers the microswitches.

In case it wasn't clear enough, it always makes me laugh when people think octo gate is in any way representative of how American sticks (or any stick worth a drat) are constructed, because it clearly indicates that person doesn't know what they're talking about. If you pop the square actuator in position to the squarely-oriented microswitches, guess what kind of movement shape is optimal for triggering the switches evenly

Riding the gate is not ideal but I have optical switches and there's no noises when the stick actuates and it's just easier for some sort of feedback to ride the gate.

Well I play as cammy and that's not really something I need to do (unless I'm mistaken) but if it were SFIV and I were trying to do the hooligan combination, I'd just hit the jump button at the end of a 1236 input, it worked very well.

I don't judge people I just use what I prefer and so should everyone :shobon:

some of the best fighting game players are pad players

Is there a way to modify my stick so I can do left facing DP motions as easily as right facing DP motions when i am, for instance, being lazy and not paying attention to what my hands are doing and/or refuse to practice ever?

Make a hitbox. Alternatively pick characters without DP motions.

I just play on pad but I glue an extremely sharp tack into the up directional button to discourage me from pressing it by accident, and rebind my jump input to left stick click. My body, my choice!

Do people still have problems with do motion? You can literally do 2323 and dp comes out.

In SFV 323 works. Also 2626 works for super lol

I can't blame people for using pad in this game, it's basically made for pad/keyboard. The shortcut inputs are straight up more consistent than trying to play it like it's a real fighter.

Playing SFV is the problem.

By the way, I dunno if it's because I haven't paid much attention to the game but everything seems very quiet since S2 hit. CPT offseason and all, but I wanna see more people realize "neutral-focused, honest gameplay" is now even MORE BS than it once were.

I'm low tier scum, am I playing Alex correctly?

- block a lot, answer back with cr.lp and lp slash
- use all medium buttons for poking
- interrupt early mid/long range with elbow slash
- fish for cr.hp->ex knee AA move
- If the person starts blocking elbow slash or has to charge moves start tossing in jumping headbutt grab and powerbomb
- lose
- sometimes don't lose because of some VT fuckery

On wake up I almost always use either fwd+hp or powerbomb

I have no idea how mp or hp slash (non elbow) fits into his game and people in my tier seem to fail answering jumping headbutt grab WAAAAY more often than the jumping stomp move so I almost never use that either. I also feel like standing HK has lost it's usefulness but that might just be me.

I always had a way easier time with Gief than Alex. But I like playing Alex for some reason. I used to have a bitch of a time getting people to block but now I realize that's what the elbow slash is for.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

Staying true to these characters' origins I see
