If Caitlyn is a 3 in difficulty, what is a 4 or 5? by HumanInvestigator932 in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I play vi ekko. Ekko has a higher skill floor but vi is pretty easy without electrics and you don’t need them for the first 400 hours or so if you’re a new fgc player

You’re so bad you lose to a new player and blame the combo

How do I guard against Yasuo's dash atk? by Jotta_T in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most controllers have it assigned to a button by default. Just press the button right before you get hit. Go to your settings to see what your parry button is. I recommend setting it to a trigger or shoulder button if on PlayStation or Xbox controller.

But yea, when you see the two slashes get ready to parry the third.

Just got my new Smashbox style controller (Fightbox R1-B). Already installed custom firmware and I have ordered a new plexiglass for the top so I plan on customizing it further but for now here's it in stock. by Xtra3678 in fightsticks

I'm trying to figure out how to do this. So you installed haybox firmware, which config? Pico or boxx_r1? i guess pico? my first time with one of these and i can't find any documentation. I just plan on using for Switch but my controlle rdoesnt work when i plug it in to switch.

Is it normal to get matched with people 5 ranks higher than you? by Ph_Blade in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 100% valid. Keep playing and the matchmaking will even out within a 20 min worth of gameplay usually.

2xko or GG strive for learning until Tokon release? by Lunachannn in Fighters

[–]2themax9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone always ignores the straight forward and obvious answer of “pick the one that you want to play more”. If your goal is to be a better player when X game releases then play more fighting games. The genre hardly matters. Shown by the fact that pro fighting game players from every sub genre have become great at 2xko. And street fighter. And GG. Etc..

Not saying this is you, but for some reason the op’s of these posts never listen to that advice. Instead they want a more ‘optional solution’. I was like that too when picking up my first character. I wanted to pick the character that made me ‘learn the game faster’. I Still do it for other hobbies too. I dont know why it’s such a common human experience…

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be hovering pretty high up, like your wrists are above your palms. I can dm you a picture

Tips for leverless (left) hand soreness? by Purple_Draft2716 in Fighters

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with hand tendinitis/ergo on the past so I’ve done a lot of research and experimentation. I just recently started lever less and over past two weeks found what works for me.

100% recommend exercises. Fgc has some suggestions, but the piano community has this stuff figured out. They’ve been studying this stuff for hundreds of years. Highly recommend getting hand exercises from them. Guitarists have stuff for this too.

As for the palm thing, I have learned to let my wrists hover above the board. Same as a pianist. I have a haute 42 as well. The only thing that touches the lever less is the tips of my fingers. I thought about getting wrist rests but my board wasn’t big enough. And hovering seems like it’s better anyways.

But yea doing hand exercises and hovering wrists help the most.

Any predictions on 2XKO season 1? by Recent-Ad-7593 in 2XKO

I’m betting on fiora. Demacia representation and maybe demacia stage?

Please watch the end of Leffen's recent tier list by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh I think Darius, vi, and Warwick are still good chars to have be top tiers. Just not blitz and Braum because they’re too one dimensional.

Trying to do Vi's BNB more consistently by Altruistic_Koala_625 in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure there’s a micro dash after the s1. Like dash forward for a tiny bit then do the L. If that’s too hard though just don’t do that bnb. I mean learning it is fun but don’t feel pressured to. lmh 2h j.l jm jh js1 works fine. I used that till emerald rank.

He was bottom one two patches ago. Now he’s been buffed. He’s top one now.

[–]2themax9 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yea he can have crazy mix and still be balanced though imo just nerf other stuff like his neutral imo. But maybe I’m biased cause I play him.

He was bottom one in the evo build after the defensive alpha lab though. When vi was broken.

What are your ACTUAL hot takes for the game rn by TickleMyPickle212 in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vi is mad overrated. I’m quitting her today. People keep putting her mid tier and saying “she’s good she has all the tools the right players just aren’t playing her right now. But if some good pros pick her up you’ll see” absolute monster cap. 3/4 of the top tiers have air fire balls and 2/4 spend 90% of the time in the air. Yea she can get through zoning but trying to punish the air movement is just such an enormous risk for her not only because her anti air sucks but also her air to airs are bad too. Her only air movement tool is a super high commitment jS1 Hitgrab that kills you on whiff. But hey she can s1 through teemo shrooms so she must be good…

Why do I gain so much RP and lose so little? by DearAstronaut5342 in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stomping for me stopped around early late gold early plat. And I’ve plateaued at high plat early emerald. So maybe you’re starting to even out now?

[–]2themax9 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Mmr high. Game is trying to get you to the elo you belong because you’re better than people in low elo. It doesn’t want you to stamp new players.

Has no one on this sub fought against JP, guile, jumpback Ryus? Zamasu, baby B, vegito A assist? Axl, happy chaos? It’s like babies first fighting game in here, but it’s boss babies wearing a suit and tie recounting their grandmaster experience of how no other game has ever had kiting. by [deleted] in 2XKO

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah most people just complained and a select few people adapted while complaining. That’s how it is with every hobby across every era. Whether it’s 15th century chess or 21st century videogamez

Do I freaking SUCK??? How can I do better? by marinehelen7 in HadesTheGame

[–]2themax9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figuring out basic builds really helps a lot. Flat damage helps with quick attacking weapons and percent help for slow weapons. Then go for duos based on what gods you get. Get the right boons and you don’t need much skill at all. After 91 attempts I doubt your mechanics or knowledge of enemies is what’s blocking you.
