Good op.

Motivates me to get some good stick art so I can pollute the first page with a hitbox.

Something else to keep in mind, there are like 2000 possible team comps so there's room for experimentation.

We need timers because games like SFxT and SFV exist.

Alt answer: It's a hold over from arcade machines that fighting games have leaned into. Arcade machines generally reset to attract mode given no input and this is an easy way to accomplish that.

I'm fine with Smash but I don't like that they have to include both Melee and 4.

If EVO wants more money they should do a full-on "EVO Classic" with all the old poo poo and stick Melee in there.

100% on board with this because it means 3s or ST could get Classic Stage time

......But seriously though, that's an average of 20 hours per week for the past 2 years that you could have spent on playing dozens of much better FGs.

On the other hand I wish there was a fighting game I could play that much.

Hello, I am the token local hitbox user.

What the gently caress is that thing for, why is jump there, why are the two tilt buttons there, lol this is a melee stick and I think that means it won't work with smash 4

this is some mixture of the sunk cost fallacy and insanity

Nintendo produced a bunch of smash 4 branded gamecube controllers; a bunch of people play sm4sh with them.

They're literally gamecube controllers with the smash logo; there's even a special nintendo branded adapter that lets you plug the gamecube controllers into the wii u for smash.

They're showing this off with melee, but there's literally no reason to think that it wouldn't work with smash 4, I have no idea what you're on about.

Oh that's good, I guess.

I mean the controller still looks like a mess for a number of reasons, but at least it's not limited to melee

Made a poll for the next tournament.

Rules:

- You can vote for more than one game at once.
- You can enter and vote for a title in the "other" category if it isn't present.
- A few days before the next tournament, I will be making another multiple choice poll of the top five games.

Voted Garou because I want to see spirited defenses as to why that is both a Good and Bad game

I always wonder which game people on here hate more. Street Fighter III: Third Strike or Street Fighter V?

I like 3s because none of my friends play chun li. e:Though, the first time I did a parry option select command grab on someone's wake up I realized things aren't quite right.

I dislike SFV because of how it's been handled as a whole, 8f, and other small details. I pretend to hate it but I'm honestly waiting for it all to come together because I think it's on the precipice of being really good.

UNIEL is mostly good though.

If you don't know what plinking, kara cancels, option selects, charge partitioning, FADCs, or crouch techs are, you don't have to. Instead you can focus on the fundamentals of fighting games: distancing, timing, zoning, setups, reads, and strategy.

I hate this. There's a lot to be said about accessibility in games and this ain't it.

Does anyone know if hitbox-style controllers still require a SOCD cleaner to be tournament legal? Last I heard it was required, but I don't actually see anything about it in any written tournament rules. I want to make sure I'm getting a legal controller before I order a custom one.

On phone so I can't do a hitbox effort post, but most games have a built in SOCD cleaner. What board is it being based on? Later, I can check how mine is wired up.

However, there's no centralized or canonical set of tourney rules. it's up to the organizer.

Yeah, seriously. If anything, one of the biggest stylistic bones to pick with games like MvC or Skullgirls is that there's too much movement.
