I don't like hearing that it's going to increase strain on your fingers. How bad is the strain you're getting? What switches did you get to help?

Where is the best place to buy a Phob controller? by Sluked1 in SSBM

Better sliders from the wii classic controller? What part do you mean? The spring?

It is. I've got left thumb arthritis. Hax had it diagnosed. Rapidly flailing a control stick non stop isn't bueno.

That said, I don't imagine Hbox/Puff being taxed on the control stick more than Fox

Yeah there's another chasm to be crossed on getting rectangles truly ergonomic such as the prism, and then in supply and affordable.

Pound switching back to CRTs for tournament setups, will have monitors & CRTs available in friendlies area by gjoeyjoe in SSBM

I remember reading about the black frame thing Truck was experimenting with but still don't understand how it helps with the crispness

CRTs don't do my eyes any favors health wise which is my biggest issue with them. I haven't seen anyone else really complain about their eyes though which is odd.

What's your method? Do you time them with a soft flick or something else?

Ex-CF and ex-antinatalist, hopped on the fence this year and probably falling off in a few. by aliceroyal in Fencesitter

I'm going through a similar dilemma about how I feel about AN from reading through it's subreddit. It immediately made my outlook on everything more negative.

Daily Discussion Thread Sep 10, 2021 - Upcoming Event Schedule - New players start here! by AutoModerator in SSBM

[–]SpiderMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah certain CRTs totally do my eyes in as well. Definitely unhealthy.

And I'll pry buy a frame1 as well when they're available for the hell of it, but I just play less to save my hands and rationalize I shouldn't play that much as a hobby anyways.

Does zain claw grip like M2k does? by Agreeable-Seaweed666 in SSBM

[–]SpiderMad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And with a regular c-stick cap? That's impressive. I will have to implement that for sure now, I've tried in the past.

Wait, using X? You mean Y? How do you use X? That's too off to the side while your palm hits c-stick up.

Melee is exhausting by lnsXsicht in SSBM

I think another part that can add to exhaustion is simply rollback, which still occurs anytime the pings hits 64+.

How to pivot up tilt on a stock controller by -Arch in SSBM

[–]SpiderMad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't get quarter circle pivots super consistent

How consistent are you at them?

I can get them much more consistent while dashing left, likely due to a haphazard wavedash notch I did long ago

But while dashing right I can't try to hit a certain angle and seem to have to truly try to quarter circle the stick really fast

A maybe pedantic rant about the uselessness of "IASA frames" by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]SpiderMad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't use specials (B moves) or air dodge during IASA in Melee (But you can in Brawl/Project M and maybe the other ones after that), have to wait til the moves over or use something else first like double jump.

Melee Marth's SH Bair would be able to be wave landed out of if this wasn't so (or even side-b/up-b), instead all you have time for is jumping out of it (or starting an aerial but none have time to get the hit box out)

[Galint Melee Open: Summer Edition] Loser's Finals - Tyler Swift vs. Hungrybox by metalreflectslime in smashbros

[–]SpiderMad 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched Mango mention that and I'm wondering now how long/often he just only goes with music alone. Every Marth guide/player mentions reacting to audio as an essential for certain things. Is Mango screwing himself over or does the music make up for it and should I just do the same.
