I'm so ecstatic that they have put the Polar Bear Cafe in Guilty Gear.

I would recommend the Hori RAP N as a good stick for anyone looking for a first one. Premium parts, easy to open case, nice wide frame that feels good on the lap, anti-slip material already installed. In the long run you'll want to replace the Hayabusa lever at the very least (feels squishy, especially after you try a Sanwa or another brand of lever) but if you grab it on one of the frequent sales it goes on you could replace the lever and still come out at under most midrange stick's prices. Also 100% works on ps5.

I recommend against the hori stuff because it has their proprietary parts and the build quality feels kinda junky. If you have the ability to try before you buy with ANY stick, i would definitely do that. if you have no frame of reference for an arcade stick and the hori is the first thing you're trying I guess you wont be able to tell how lovely hayabusa parts feel though so it could be fine in that case. some maniacs actually seek out hayabusa parts. its become very hard to recommend a stick because of all the revisions now, actually. I used to recommend the razer panthera since its really just a great stick, but the new revision uses "razer action buttons" instead of sanwa. this is probably bad, but idk the obsidian has a lot of things wrong with it IMO. the obsidian is the stick I use the most so i cant help but notice all the things it lacks: no detachable cord, cord shorter than competing sticks, its really annoying to get in to compared to others, and it has a really gaudy look that is annoying to mod art on. theres no physical start/select buttons and the layout for secondary buttons like l3/r3/share/options etc is trash there is however a lot of good about the obsidian: it uses sanwa parts and the pcb is fine, and it works on ps3/ps4/pc out of the box without a firmware update like some others, it has a nice textured nonslip on the bottom so it doesnt move around if you play on a table. the stick has an extremely good weight and feels nice and sturdy. the stick also goes on sale very frequently (or it used to, when tournaments happened). also, for button layouts, the obsidian uses vewlix whereas the hrap uses noir. this is really just preference  it does have this one glaring issue. there are 9 arrows here around the stick. but why?

I think hayabusa buttons feel great, but I'll never go to bat for the lever. Absolute trash.

The thing that gets me about the GG UI is how sanitised it looks. You have your gauges, time and intro in this stylised font, but your numbers, counter/combo messages, and even SLASH is in this very basic font. It's inconsistent and still feels like a placeholder, like they are going to swap it out any day now but still haven't. Game looks freaking amazing otherwise, excited for the beta test.

Being honest, it's best to build your own fightstick with the parts you want. If you are serious in getting into fighting games and want to take things to "the next level" then just buy a high quality fightstick and replace the parts if you don't grow into them. Everyone has different tastes so it's difficult to give a full on recommendation. For example I'm one of those freaks who prefers the Hayabusha buttons that everyone hates. It's not even that big of a loss if you find that you want different buttons after a while either since they are like $2 per button. Or you can mess around with your friends fightsticks at locals and see what you prefer and order/build a custom one of your own.

I have the original razer panthera. Proprietary cord is bullshit. Art glued to the plexi is also bullshit. Otherwise feels good

If you want the clear buttons when you're customizing your stick, make sure to get the screw-in buttons instead of the snap-ins if you ever plan on popping buttons out to swap them or change plexi art.

FWIW, to qualify my recommendation of the Rap N, I don't actually know how the hayabusa parts feel because I switched them for sanwa/seimitsu right away when I got the stick.

40 lbs to freedom posted:this but unironically who said it was ironic? I disagree with stick being inherently superior for fighting games, BTW. It's probably worse for you if you use it wrong when it comes to hand and wrist health, it's more comfortable but also way more unwieldy and loud, and you have a learning curve you might not have with a pad. I know a lot of people that put money into a decent stick and ended up sticking with pad because of those things.

There are players winning tournaments with stick, pad, and hitbox. Pick one that's comfortable and use it to practice.

When I first started getting back into fighting games I bought a Qanba Obsidian. I used to play in arcades as a kid so I thought maybe that would be a good idea. I never actually use it because I find a good dpad to be the much more enjoyable way to move around in a fighting game nowadays. This isn’t a diss on arcade sticks, but more just trying to say I don’t believe there’s a wrong answer when it comes to how you control your video games. Play em on a hitbox if that feels right to your hands. edit for Pockyless:

Smash was from the OST of Fatal Fury 2. This is either an arrangement from the AST, or a new version. I'll have to listen again more closely. Congrats to Joe for joining Team Iori!

The thing I miss about pixel era of KOF is how expressive a lot of the characters were. Joe especially, he's always so fun to use. And I loved his stupid powerful charge super that became unblockable if you held it fully and kicked you on the loving ankle/shin.

He looks mostly the same as Rev2, RIP two drills though. Eddie and all of his new animations look incredible so I hope Zato's fun and good.

He described it weird he said each button also has an eddie attack So instead of needing to release to get the move it just goes off with zato's? Or not and its neg edge?

It sounds like the higher end ones have to be modded Building one does a fun project though, though I imagine you have to be specific with the internals if you want it to work with consoles. I dunno. I guess I just have to think about it. I'd like to play around with one and see how I like it, but that's not real viable for me.

Max Wilco posted:Well, drat, now I feel more uncertain than I did before asking. Kind a long shot, but I actually happen to have a PS4 Chun Li stick that'll work on PS4/5 and with steam games via controller compatibility (which is what I did before I got one that was explicitly compatible with PC). I'm not using it since I got a new stick and I've been too lazy to sell it on ebay or something, but it definitely works and I could sell it for p cheap. It's actually really nice and works great!

Just buy a stick if 120$ on a toy is in your budget. Its good to have around if you like arcade games at all Play frickin pacman or tetris with it for the best time ever. ^^ I also have the chun li's crotch stick and warning: it is a wrist/arm hair grabber

Hopefully the new method of controlling it won't feel lovely, a few qcf's aren't too bad.

Is there such a thing as a fighting game pad with a digital thumbstick, or am I doomed to stick with Dpad forever? My first online fighting game was TvC and I played that with the classic controller's analog stick, which felt really good to do motion inputs with because of the octagonal gates.

I ended up buying a hori fighting commander this summer when i was learning SFV, and i think it helped immensely. On a Xbox controller, I can't reliably hit L1 quickly enough so i basically couldn't use Fierce punch. Even R1 is tough for me. It's fine in every other game except fighting games.
