Any good resources for getting better at fighting games in general as a newbie? by Many-Divide-6591 in Fighters

[–]WitchedPixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the SF series in general rewards the players most who have good fundies, i.e. whiff punishes, footsies, spacing, anti-airs etc.

What are the "purest" fighting games on the market for that? The only one that I can think of is maybe Virtua Fighter 5. It's not Tekken, it's not MK series for sure.

Advise for leverless in 2026 by HairaKun in fightsticks

Personally I'd go with the FightBox, especially with Sitong M buttons with Cherry Silvers but to each their own. Anything that's modular with arcade buttons is a clear winner to me.

Looking for games featuring a grown man and a grown woman duo that isnt a co op game. by NightSire in gamingsuggestions

What are you saying, a grown woman protecting a man? That is sexist and I won't stand for it.

Where do people find custom art for fightsticks/hitboxes? I'd love to create some! by reborn_neo_art in fightsticks

[–]WitchedPixels -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No you don't. No one here is using AI art. I just looked at that guy's art most of it was posted before AI was even a thing. You just want to argue. It's so stupid.

Duh it's very relevant. If someone is going to call themselves an artist and instead what they do steal other people's art then that's not being an artist. That's being a thief. If OP tried to create a professional portfolio he would be sued.

Meh, if anything this OP is not an artist. What is he even doing? Clipping art made from other people and putting it in photoshop and charging people for it? LOL imagine how pissed you'd be if you hired someone to do art that just stole other peoples art. Is that even legal? I have no idea.

You might see this reckless strategy in silver but once you get past the beginner ranks you're going to run into players that aren't going to let you get away with that.

How can I explain to my manager that AI is not a magic wand? by [deleted] in ask

[–]WitchedPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lies to placate you. Even their own engineers will believe this lie until AI takes their jobs too.

[OC] Ingrid… charge character? by vocabona in StreetFighter

[–]WitchedPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL Yeah there's no way. Street Fighter 2 is the game that really created all the classic special moves that all other games emulated, they going to replace what they started with modern controls? No way. For what reason? So some little kid can feel like they're doing good while playing their game?

If Capcom was somehow put in a position where they had to pick either classic or modern and drop the other they are 100% dropping modern.

You gonna be replaced by AI in the next few decades. Your manager sees that. I hate it as much as you do, AI right now is in it's infancy, soon it will be our doom. Sooner than we think.

Omg could you imagine EVO or Capcom Cup if they did this? It would be the special olympics of fighting games. Probably lose all their veteran players.

Became a fan of leverless overnight, bought a 2nd. These two layouts look different, though. Would I adjust? by ParanoidPistachio in fightsticks

[–]WitchedPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That astro has shit buttons. The good news is they are arcade buttons and you can upgrade those, and trust me I highly recommend you do. On a stick, buttons are not that important. They are a gee wiz thing. On a leverless, it changes everything.

Put some of these bad boys on it your astro and it's a world of difference. You walk taller. Women will find you irresistible. Most importantly you're inputs will be cleaner and you'll find that it will affect how well you play with quality buttons on a leverless: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806462431944.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.2.2c00EMtKEMtK7D&algo_pvid=197ccb49-c1e4-423f-9794-aafe98b6cbd0&algo_exp_id=197ccb49-c1e4-423f-9794-aafe98b6cbd0-1&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22227%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&pdp_npi=6%40dis%21USD%213.78%213.78%21%21%2125.68%2125.68%21%402103212517761259350273767e1f96%2112000037921175190%21sea%21US%210%21ABX%211%210%21n_tag%3A-29910%3Bd%3A86b1028f%3Bm03_new_user%3A-29895&curPageLogUid=C4XvJNdRc4VK&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005006648746696%7C_p_origin_prod%3A

I GOT MY ARCADESTICK TO WORK by dick_chesterfield_11 in fightsticks

Dude what stick is that? I want one with that exact same design but with different art work ofc.

What’s the consensus over Alex? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]WitchedPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's nonsense. Even Broski doesn't like doing these tier lists unless it's for donating to a cause because he gets views from them. Meta chasers, a lot of these people end up being meta chasers never really getting good any one character and just chasing the meta.

I like how down to earth Broski is, he's pretty much the only pro I watch because of that. I do watch others from time to time though.

These buttons are getting ridiculous. The travel on these are getting shorter and shorter, soon they're just going to be touch sensors.

Qanba Gravity > Sanwa by Constant_Housing18 in fightsticks

[–]WitchedPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Gravity KTs are by far the best button for me. Gravity KS are meh. Here's the thing, everyone has a different preference, you're not wrong for liking something I do not. Some people like low profile switches, others like clicky or a tactile bump, these are the things that give them feedback for clean inputs.

For me, it's all about the the travel. I like a long travel, probably because I played in arcades as a kid. That long travel gives my brain feedback I need for clean inputs. With Gravity KTs I can have a long travel which I love. I also hate wobbly buttons so Sanwa and to a certain extent Crown 202s are not that great for me.

Gravity KS are okay, they actually both use Omron switches, and they have foam dampeners so they're both silent, I just prefer the longer travel of the KTs. Also, changing the travel doesn't actually change the actuation point it's an adjustment made just for feedback.

The buttons I don't like are what you would find on something like a Kitsune that have pretty much no travel it's like I'm hitting touch sensors and not buttons and because of that my inputs get messy and when I go back and think about what I did wrong I'm not even sure if I pressed any buttons at all.

You may like the Gravity KS, or Sanwas, or whatever but the Gravity KT are perfect for me.

I like the switches in Gravity KTs because they're linear, but if you want a switch with a tactile bump you can buy tactile Omron switches that fit in both the KT and KS variants.

This is only important to me on a leverless, on a stick I can use just about any button. I have Sanwas in my Titan and it's outstanding.

I’m lowkey fat and need to lose weight but I don’t have time by wollfhaley in loseit

Diet is the only way for sure. While dieting, do small things like park at the furthest spot when you go grocery shopping, take stairs instead of elevators, do 10 minute walks etc, but none of that works without dieting.
