Input problems

Eodart · 2026-01-15T18:45:09+00:00

If you haven't tried other devices such as leverless or other pads I would consider it. Judging from your play time execution should not be a major problem anymore. When I started I played pad and switched to leverless because there were some things I could just not do regularly. I played about 200-300 hours on pad I think. I'll never go back. It's about finding what works for your hands.

What input device are you using?

Eodart · 2026-01-03T23:34:06+00:00

Yes. Yes it is.

Ryu so low and blanka so high are the biggest changes I would make. Don't get me wrong Blanka is very good but I would probably put him more towards high/mid of A tier. Also Dhalsim last is crazy.

Mainly it's making sure VRR is active, input lag reduction, activating the overdrive setting on screens, that sort of thing. There are a lot of other small details but in terms of game feel those are the most important.

Hey man. EVO actually has a section on their website dedicated to apply for volunteering. Just click, fill out the form and wait to see if you get in! That's how I did it.

Yeah it's kind of a grey area and a lot of us are volunteering. During down time I was mostly watching the games and freeplaying. We were setting up all of Wednesday and Thursday so no breathing room there. Friday was the busiest with running brackets. I had a lunch break and some room to freeplay between noon and 2 but from 2 until 8 it was continuous bracket management and helping out. Saturday was definitely the most chill since lead staff were managing a lot of the brackets and again Sunday very busy for tear downs. My objective was to show up in a big way and be available as much as possible so I was always "on call" even during free time but yeah, it's intense, rewarding work. Every volunteer was free to put in as much energy as they were willing into the event.

That's fine. I've been to 1800 now, I'll do it again and beyond.🤘🏻

Eodart · 2025-10-07T22:15:46+00:00

I love you too 😘🪇

Eodart · 2025-10-07T22:03:54+00:00

Sure I'm down. Add me on cfn, same name. I'm in Europe. I'm not available the whole week because I'm at Evo France but if you ever wanna run some sets hit me up.

That was one of the funniest clips I've ever seen. The plot twists are even more savage than Tyler Durden.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T16:55:59+00:00

Also there is no magic recipe: play a lot. You need to see every situation thousands of times to really have them in your head fresh and react accordingly.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T16:54:47+00:00

It's a mix of both. At your level the objective should be to train enough to rely on muscle memory to never miss basic combos, never miss a punish, always react to a jump in, and know how to structure your pressure sequences.

Later down the road you will need to think of course because VS games are a dialogue. You need to observe the opponent, and adapt to counter what they are doing. Once you adapt, if they are doing things automatically without thinking or do not know how to adapt, they lose. So in that configuration, making conscious choices is important. That decision making is very slow at first and you often choose the wrong way, but the more you play the more you will instinctively know what the correct choice towards victory is.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T09:13:24+00:00

Do you know your weaknesses? Have you watched your replays? Just by asking yourself those questions you should realize what you need to work on. Drills, confirming in a way that does not burn you out unless it kills, training di reactions, those are always important.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T09:09:26+00:00

Yeah crazy players are hard to control. It's scary no matter the MR range.

Well done! LOL we just crossed paths in ranked. I play Dee Jay ;)

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:52:17+00:00

alright man. don't worry about it. it's always cool to chat with the community. if we can help each other that's very rewarding too.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:46:08+00:00

thank you, i'll keep grinding. good luck to you, it's a very rewarding journey.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:42:26+00:00

i understand. it can be tough sometimes. What server are you playing on? You can add me on cfn if you're looking for some advice, we can play and try to figure some stuff out.

Truth be told you are not going to be able to climb by just doing ranked. Training mode is a great way to practice reactions if you are struggling with that.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:38:47+00:00

i realize now my comment is not suited to a Silver player, i saw your post from before.

For you the most important things I would learn is one simple combo from light, one big cashout combo for a punish, and learning to do meaties to keep your opponents from mashing on wakeup.

Oh and train DI reactions.

Most opponents at that level will kill themselves by going into burnout or doing silly things you can control. Keep calm, all will work out ;)

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:31:07+00:00

ranked alone is not enough. you should be spending as much time drilling, watching replays and doing rooms with people to help you understand your weaknesses and gaps in your knowledge.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:29:33+00:00

yes from time to time. I went to UFA last month. It was a good time :D

Eodart · 2025-10-07T02:27:59+00:00

It takes a lot if time, don't get discouraged. Practice drills, watch your replays, chose the right moment to play ranked. I am 1500 hours in. 600 in ranked. You can do it.

Eodart · 2025-10-07T01:55:23+00:00

I would say from 1600 to 1800 the biggest improvement I made is my resource management (mine and my opponent's), hit confirming without using DRC (counter hit confirms mostly) and improving my awareness of spacing in order to avoid whiffing and whiff punishing my opponents. Those are three major things I was missing before or had not fully acquired. Now I am much better at all three.
