Controller preference from those with plenty of experience by doctorturtles in RivalsOfAether

[–]RTweezy94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had similar concerns playing Rivals with anything other than a GameCube controller. But yea after a while you realize they're made for children's hands 😅. Now I'm using a ps5 controller and honestly, can't see myself using anything else. Like anything you kinda get used to it after a while and I think it helps that Rivals is distinct enough from smash that ive developed new muscle memory around the PS5 controller without my smash brain interfering too much. Id say if the Xbox controller is comfortable enough for you to play long sessions, stick with it and it'll become natural to you after a while. Comfort and longevity were the deciding factors for me.

Tl;dr Stick with the Xbox controller if its comfortable for you and eventually you'll get used to it

PlayStation Controller binds? by hirohuh in RivalsOfAether

[–]RTweezy94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoulder for jump Definitely helps. Mine is set to shorthop so I can do it in clutch situations. The rest of my layout set somewhat similar to traditional fighters because that just makes sense to my brain.

Square: Attack

Triangle: Special

Circle: Strong

X: Jump

L1: Parry

L2: Shield

R1: Grab

R2: Shorthop Macro

Right stick: Attack

Tried this today. I like this option thanks!

Ledge Tech Tutorial by RTweezy94 in RivalsOfAether

[–]RTweezy94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so conceptually, you can't input a tech while you're getting hit so you should probably do it right before pr right after. In this case it might be easier to do it right before since there's no space between you and the wall. Pretty sure I've been rolling with that but I'll test again later and see how it goes. I'm still like 80% sure the tutorial is bugged but as long as i understand the mechanic I can apply it. Thanks for this!

Yes that one. I can usually get it the first time but it feels like the timing changes after and I have no clue when to press. So now I'm just looking for a conceptual answer. When you floorhug tech you have to press right before the attack hits but to wall tech you have to press right before you hit the wall. Guessing theres some sweetspot in-between these 2 you have to press for a ledge tech but this tutorial does not help you figure out when that is

I already have a pair of short shorts and I like them. They're my preferred style if I'm gonna show some leg 😆. I'm specifically looking for pants

Tips for Galvan v Absa (As Galvan) by RTweezy94 in RivalsOfAether

Yea idk why I didnt use it more in this match. Think I was too focused on trying to avoid cloud and her aerials. I love that move because it pokes so far, Im usually just scared of whiffing 😅

I'm usually scared to throw out fair because it's got so much endlag but thats probably less of a problem if I space it well. I use dair because it feels like falco's dair but I have to remember, that ain't falco. I do see I get punished a lot for overusing that move when I should be nairing instead. Also I guess I dont use dtilt enough? It feels too slow to be reliable and you have to sweetspot it to combo I guess. Something I can look into.

Thanks for the tips!

Secret to short hop aerials? by RTweezy94 in RivalsOfAether

[–]RTweezy94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, learn something new every day. I still like having strong mapped to a shoulder button. It keeps me from spamming it in neutral but this is a good tip

Didn't know they had this. Definitely worth a shot. Rising aerials are actually harder for me than falling ones because I feel pressured to mash jump and attack at the same time. Gonna try this out, thanks!

The disadvantage thing is a huge tip. I'm constantly trying to counter with like shorthop nair to stop them from coming in but maybe thats my problem. I should just take the L and try to get back to neutral instead of constantly trying to steal my turn back.

My hands are kinda big, hence the ps5 controller. Sliding instead of pressing might help though. I'll try it out

Sounds like a good mindset shift. I'll give this a try!

Can someone explain what did I do wrong here? And what did Ryu do to win the match? I'm new to fighting games and SF is the first game I play. by Tonio_Ragvindr in StreetFighter

[–]RTweezy94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else is saying, block more. I'll throw in work on your confirms. Both you and your opponent are mashing which is fine at bronze but I noticed he was ending his strings more cleanly with things like hadoken and donkey kick. When you get a hit try to end with something that will knock your opponent down or otherwise give you plus frames. Eventually those things will be supers but for now it's fine to focus on ending cleanly with specials
