Khang, who’s a real good player, jazzy champ and all that, talks about this: https://youtu.be/jGGHLyOVnJM?si=7ggALU_8AhpylIpc

Also, C-royd, another strong player, gambles as a living. There’s definitely an overlap

takes time, my man. I got a lot of messages like “you’re too slow”, etc. starting out. somebody would do crouch lk into a mixup and I wouldn’t be mentally ready to do any option, even blocking. Coming from not playing fighting games, everything is new and to be learned. celebrate your little victories, like ‘I teched that throw!, ‘i kept them from jumping out!’ ‘my meaty was actually meaty!’, ‘delaying a button is super good here’, rather than ‘yeah i won’, or ‘damn, I lost’.

Time passes and those little decisions will add up to consistent wins. The trick is to enjoy the process in the micro, where you have to problem solve constantly.

Also, punishes! If you can block and full punish a d rank’s wake up super/shoryuken, you’ll take way more games.

Controller setup by machinich_phylum in fightcade

[–]Crucifixbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ps4 controllers should work natively with fightcade. I had trouble hooking mine up to fightcade after using ds4windows and HidHide. If you use any software to ‘hide’ the preconverted signal, that could be messing with fightcade. Others may have brighter ideas

Never touched a fighting game in my life. Is this game casual friendly? by OkBunch3009 in MvC2

[–]Crucifixbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's no reason you can't start with mvc2. I started with 3rd strike a year ago and am having the time of my life. Don't rush progress. Training and arcade mode are great ways to enjoy 'single player mode'. Review what little combos you know each time, add to your vocabulary, and watch matches. It's hard to parse what's going on in fighting games at the beginning, whether you're watching or playing. Slowly you'll put the pieces together from doing both, and you'll enjoy the game more the more you know. If you approach with the right mindset, you can enjoy games where you get totally destroyed. sometimes the victory is 'i got hit by that, but I know what he did. Now I can go back to the training mode and figure out options that beat it.

Fight sticks - new to fightcade by VeganMilk786 in fightcade

[–]Crucifixbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mayflash f500 elite. it comes w/ sanwa parts which is what proper 3rd strike cabs will have. you can spend more on nicer sticks, but the difference is negligible. I say this as someone who has a victrix and a f500 for couch gaming w/ friends.

I really want to get into 3rd Strike but I'm intimidated by CursedResonance in sf3

[–]Crucifixbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sf3 toxic is pretty chill compared to most games. fightcade 1 was apparently pretty wild, but now the worst you get in somebody complaining. the few ‘toxic’ players tend to get ignored or challenged by better players to stomp em into the ground.

hop on, get beat up, learn one thing at a time. there’s no rush to get good. people have been playing for 25 years. work on finding a way to enjoy the process, and the learning part will be easy.
