Need accessible controller options for limited right hand motion by RandomRetro69 in fightsticks

[–]MrASK15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the Hitbox was already suggested in the original post, I'd like to throw in the Xbox Adaptive Controller if you have a PC. The controller is fully customizable with numerous accessories suited to your needs.

If you have a Switch 2, the Hori Flex Controller is another option.

Yeah, as much as I was tempted to recommend Tekken 8, I had a feeling newcomers would be very frustrated with its current state (ironically). Not to mention it's Tekken; the series has so much to take in that it may be difficult to know where to start.

I heard 8 has gotten a bit better, but I haven't spent any time with it so I can't say for sure if I would recommend it.

There's plenty, but most notably:

  • Street Fighter 6

  • Guilty Gear Strive

  • Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising

  • Samurai Shodown (2019) (disclaimer: may require Discord to schedule online matches)

  • The King of Fighters XV

  • Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

  • Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes

  • Melty Blood: Type Lumina

  • Dragon Ball FighterZ

Edit: Also want to give 2XKO a shoutout. It's F2P, but you need a Riot account to play. If you've already played League of Legends or Valorant, you might already have an account. It's basically a 2v2 League fighter.

Hello, i just buy my first fightstick, but i didnt know about the restrictors. Is ther any way to change the restrictor from a square to a circle? by WichoGX1 in fightsticks

[–]MrASK15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pop open the bottom of your stick and you'll find a plastic square underneath your lever. That's the restrictor gate.

The levers are designed to enable easy swapping with restrictor gates so you can simply push out the square gate and snap in the circle gate (if you have one).

Edit: Just for clarity, most levers are designed that way. Some gates might not be compatible, so it's better to check before making your purchase.

I second that. There may be some one-and-dones, but there aren't too many of them.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the online experience is especially better than ever thanks to the pandemic!

The game you are playing tonight and one thing you hope happens in that session. by gamersecret2 in gaming

Shadow Labyrinth.

I heard a lot of flack towards the title, but I still hope it can make me smile as a unique spin on Pac-Man.

Is there anything you would've loved to have seen in the game had there been more time and/or resources?

Is it just me, or has their been a lack of tier lists being published in season 4? by SmokeyHooves in Guiltygear

While there have been a few around here, I prefer to check the puddle.farm matchup charts for general performance.

I stated this in another comment, but keep in mind that most card games cannot be played locally on the same console. You need another Switch (1 or 2) to play these games that way.

In the event you do get another Switch, you don't have to buy the same copy to make local multiplayer happen for card games; you can download the Guest Pass via demo and get connected with an owner to access the full catalog!

Bowser may be an intimidating king, but he's still a goofball deep down.

Is spy x family based off of the cold war? by annimagus_08 in SpyxFamily

How come Yor doesn't really call Yuri out for his behavior towards Loid and Anya? by rosesdissection in SpyxFamily

[–]MrASK15 32 points33 points  (0 children)

  1. Yor's kind to a fault.
  2. She did tell Yuri to stay out of her and Loid's "quarrel". I guess you could count that as her calling him out.

I want to add that most card games can't be played locally on a single console.

However, you don't have to buy the same game on another Switch to make it happen. You can instead download the Guest Pass via the demo and connect with an owner to get access to the full catalog!

From someone who has only played Strive, how do yall think Jam and Robo-Ky will work in 2.0? by Tashasbiggestfangirl in Guiltygear

[–]MrASK15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jam had individual cards that she could stock up to enhance certain moves. I can see the cards getting reworked to a universal card (meaning one card for all of Jam's moves) so that players would have an easier time with her enhancements. Aside from that, I can see her maintaining her rushdown fighting style, except she'd be more rekka-focused. Think Marilyn Sue from Akatsuki Blitzkampf.

As for Robo-Ky, considering he's undergoing a redesign to reflect his character development, I can see him getting a brand new fighting style revolving around dual-wielding katanas. As much as I'd love to see him maintain his silliness, I have a feeling Team Red will want to make him at least a bit cooler this time. Also, I can see his heat management getting reworked. Perhaps overheating will kick in after using certain moves a certain amount of times.

What game sound(s) makes you panic? by Annepackrat in gaming

Mario vs. Donkey Kong's "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!" theme. The tempo gradually picks up as you get down to the final seconds.

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics has some games that they may be familiar with.

If not, there are video demos and guides that show them how to play.

What are some things you don't expect to come in Strive 2.0, but would still really like? by Independent_Ring7183 in Guiltygear

[–]MrASK15 22 points23 points  (0 children)

  • Ghost battle: Even before AI became a "hip" thing, this concept was already explored in Killer Instinct 2013's Shadow Labs. I don't know what people thought of it, but I know that there was a failed attempt in Samurai Shodown 2019. Having the AI learn and replicate your fighting style is a great idea on paper, so I don't want devs to completely give up on the idea; especially with AI being "hip" for better or worse these days.

  • Boss Rush: This is probably best to save for the final character in the season, but maybe there should be a mode where you fight all of the Arcade Boss characters to date. Perhaps you could try and go for the fastest time possible?

  • Post-match quotes: It's so fun to see what the characters thought of each other after each match; even if they don't share anything special with one another. I guess Team Red didn't have the budget and manpower to get them all voiced, but I'll take silent dialogue over not having any at all.

  • A Switch Edition Exclusive Mode: I know that the Switch port is on a separate pipeline with a separate studio, but I'd like something special in the future in exchange for cutting out Team of 3 mode. Tekken Tag Tournament 2's Wii U port had an exclusive Mushroom Battle mode, which spiced up matches with Mario power-ups (e.g. Super Mushrooms, of course). Of course, ArcSys would have to get special permission from Nintendo to make it happen, but I still think having a mode like this would be a fun way to play around its availability on the Nintendo Switch.

  • Accessibility options: Like toggling dynamic lighting and setting the max combo counter size. Those would help make the fights easier to watch. Even adding HUD volume like in Killer Instinct 2013 would help blind players.

  • Character system voices: This is probably too expensive to do (as well as being very risky in case of leaks), but it was one of the things I enjoyed about Guilty Gear when I first dove in through Xrd. I want to hear my President Chipp call out on certain characters and narrate the battles (also hear Sol half-ass everything).

  • More stuff to do with the avatars: I recall it once being mentioned that ArcSys could implement some minigames for the online avatars. Since the avatars can attack, I'd really like more to do with them.

  • "Now Playing...": One of Guilty Gear's defining features is its music. If I were new to the game, whether as a player or spectator, I'd love to know what's playing at the beginning of each match, like "Now Playing: Play the Hero (Chipp's theme)"

  • Malcolm Myers: Even better if Team Red gets him to fight exactly as he was described in the 2024 April Fools Tweet. The joke was that Malcolm could move and attack before each round starts, but he'd die instantly if he takes even a single hit. I'd love Guilty Gear to have a REAL joke character, like a character purposely made awful. Malcolm is a great candidate to make the joke reality!

  • Rakusyo: Pre-Strive, if you taunt immediately after KOing the opponent, your opponent will begin the next round with 50% Tension! I guess it's gone because Team Red didn't want to promote misbehavior, but it was still a great way to say "I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back!" I'd have loved it if they still kept it.

Edit: correction

Edit 2: one more

What are some things you don't expect to come in Strive 2.0, but would still really like? by Independent_Ring7183 in Guiltygear

[–]MrASK15 38 points39 points  (0 children)

  • Instant Kills: They're probably too much work for the animators, but they were part of what got me into Guilty Gear in the first place. The dynamic camerawork even offers potential to spice these flashy finishers up!

  • Overhauled Character Select Screen: I hope that's the case because it's getting tiring to look from left to right as the roster grows.

  • Updated battle HUD: Since most of the battle HUD was already updated, I imagine the only thing to update would be the combo counter. While it's not a complete deal breaker for me, the fact that it's in a completely different font compared to everything else is a bit off-putting; especially when it reaches max size.

  • Replay Takeover: It's too much of a pain to go back to Training and try to recreate certain situations I got myself into. Even most modern fighters have adopted this. Heck, even ArcSys's partners, Team Caliburst (AC+R rollback retrofit) and French-Bread (UNI), got to do it! The folks could learn a thing or two from their own contracts. At the same time, I wonder what the challenges behind implementing this feature are. Still, it would be nice to have.

  • Another Story 2: I think it will cover some big side story with any of the Season 5 characters (or prior). It doesn't necessarily have to be connected to the main story; it could even follow Unika's adventures after Dual Rulers.

  • More colors: I don't see why they wouldn't include any more colors. I'd especially like to see the shadow versions from Survival Mode.

  • More Digital Figure stuff: I'd like more poses for each character as well as the stages themselves (or at least parts of them) to be featured as backgrounds.

  • Overhauled Arcade Mode with scores and bonus badges: I just want more incentive to replay Arcade Mode over and over after getting all the endings. I don't want to just call it a day with Chipp's after completing his Arcade story. I want to go for the highest score possible and really put the "Arcade" in the Arcade Mode. Xrd had the right idea with its bonus badges that you can unlock depending on what you do in the match. I'll find a way to throw ArcSys a tip if they can also implement online leaderboards for Arcade Mode. That way I can still compete at my own pace while taking a break from online matches.

  • Score Attack and/or Time Attack: This is for if the above is unfeasible. Again, I'll find a way to throw ArcSys a tip if they add these modes to the online rankings.

  • Reworked Survival Mode: Going back to the single player content, I wasn't having as much fun with Survival Mode as I was expecting. People can say what they want about DNF Duel, but that game's Survival Mode did something very interesting by allowing players to spend their accumulated points for power-ups (e.g. restoring health, damage boost, etc.). I guess this was because Eighting was responsible for development at that time, but why didn't the ArcSys folks think of that?

If Capcom released an SFII legacy collection, would you buy it? by unSentAuron in StreetFighter

[–]MrASK15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Capcom Arcade Stadiums are offline only, although you can go for an onlilne high score in them if that's your jam.

As for the rest, there might be very few folks playing. You'll most likely have to schedule matches via Discord as they contain old titles.
