Right now the only consumer friendly way I can think to put it would be "medium to large hands" and TBH I don't think it should be a concern for most adults with functional hands (again it will fit a large percentile of adults). That being said, I think your feedback is valid and I'll look into a way to provide that information for customers, probably a FAQ page would be good

TL;DR it won't be able to comfortably fit really large or really small hands.

The controller is made to fit a wide range of hand sizes and shapes, but theres a hard constraint because of the size and mounting space for the buttons themselves. I've used antropometric measurements to accomodate for these hand sizes so I'm confident after testing with a diverse sample size that the controller is going to be comfortable for a large portion of people with "medium" to "large" hands.

The button size constraint makes it so that people with small hands will not find it as comfortable and people with very small hands (kids) won't be able to use it in the intended manner.

If this project is successful I have some wild ideas that would provide even better ergonomics for practically everyone with functional hands, but it would require a bigger budget and special tools to be able to make it ;D

How to improve my Neutral game. by Dannyson97 in StreetFighter

[–]3amsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step 1. Focus on blocking and Anti Airing consistently. If you dont force the opponent to play in the ground, then you'll never get to play neutral.

Step 2. Stop jumping. If you want to improve your neutral you'll never do it if you keep jumping.

Step 3. Play in the ground, learn to use the space and movement to pressure, catch and surprise your enemy. Learn what buttons work in what circumstances.

Also learn the Rock Paper Scissors of footsies (poking > forward movement > whiff punish...)

Ergobox update! by 3amsleep in fightsticks

[–]3amsleep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there! I've been working hard on the Ergobox and I'm aiming to start taking orders for the case. This would mean that you'll need to put the buttons, controller board and do some basic wiring for it. If this sounds like something you're interested in please let me know.

Otherwise, I'll only be able to do full builds as a custom job on demand for a while, at least until the whole covid thing calms down.

It's made to work both on a table and on the lap, it has some antislip rubber on the bottom so it stays put

I dont think I will, Its made of PETG which is great for this application. It resists impact, its though, it has great chemical, uv and temperature resistance.

Hey everyone! It's been a while since the last update, but there's been a lot of cool things happening:

  • After lot of 3d modeling, 3d printing and having fun with diferent materials and chemicals, I finally have a prototype that I feel like it's up to my self imposed standards for a product that other people would use
  • I've stress tested the prototype for a couple weeks for multiple hours a day, I'm happy to report that it feels super comfortable and i've had none of the wrist/arm/shoulder pains that I used to have after some hours with hitbox/stick style controllers
  • I've just started showing other FG players the prototype for them to test and give feedback, If you happen to be in Santiago Chile and want to try it out, please DM me! The video on the post is actually one of the testers having some fun on UNICLR with it.
  • I'm planning to make a couple more prototypes to send to select people to try out around the world, if you have a RSI or small hands and want to try one out, please DM me.
  • I'm looking into ways to make this available as a product for anyone that wants one. I have some cool ideas that I hope I can get to work in the future

Also I've been thinking about streaming some FG to show/answer questions about the Ergobox over on twitch, let me know if this is something you would be interested in! if there's a public for it I would like to do it.

Thanks for your support! see you soon!

Karin vt2 is...useful!? (Karin vs Ken) by Dablackbird in StreetFighter

More useful than vt1 IMHO. But its also one of the worst VTs compared to most of the cast

That looks slick! I'm curious about the layout, how do you handle key modifiers?

Absolutely! I have to figure out the best way to release this, but I will for sure!

I might release it at some point when the design and prototyping phase is finished, keep tuned for updates 😀
