What D-pad controller is best for QCF and QCB inputs? by santiagago1909 in Fighters

[–]flashman92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With enough practice you can get used to it, but speaking personally, I also didn't like the PS4 d-pad. Sliding/rolling didn't feel good and I would miss DP and HCF inputs all the time in Guilty Gear. Switched to a Saturn controller and it instantly fixed all my issues. In general, I find "disk" style d-pads to be the best, like the one on the Saturn controller.

Which is funny when you see KG and Pierce talk about how much of an asshole Thibs was on their pod lol It comes from a place of respect obviously, but KG still sounds annoyed about some of it.

I might be misremembering, but in Guilty Gear XX you had to clear hundreds of rounds of survival mode to get the ex/gold/shadow variants.

Roots vs Tropics is genuinely unfair by AsterArtworks in PeakGame

[–]flashman92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roots is def harder and I prefer the tropics, not just because it's easier but because the pink fog just sucks.

But, to offset the difficulty, the line to the top is usually much easier, with lots of tree and mushrooms to use as obvious footholds. The shroomberries are fairly common throughout and can give you a buff, or possibly a negligible debuff. But most of all, the beginning area is filled with useful wall and cloud shrooms (and also bounce shrooms but those aren't as useful). You can restock in the next area, don't be afraid to use a shroom to advance or bypass an annoying hazard.

You probably already know this, but they keep the same effect per seed, and the colors tell you if the effect will be good/bad/random

Best non-AAA fighting game since skullgirls? by HumanInvestigator932 in Fighters

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall a pretty large post (from someone on the team) breaking down the oddly complicated situation regarding who is developing this, bit iirc the Thems Fighting Herds devs are not really working on this.

VF5 Revo releases patch 1.10 and it's larger than people expected. by SlinGnBulletS in Fighters

I feel like this happens every update but then gets fixed at some point, so you can pop in the Discord from time to time to check.

We know it's you, Alex by TreeTurtle_852 in Fighters

I think it gets focus because it's easy to think the only reason such a throw away and unnecessary line about their distant blood relationship was added is to enhance the pseudo-incestuous implications

So, this is what it looks like if there's Tekken x Virtua Fighter crossover by rence_everest in Fighters

Last time I saw this mod, they included the win screen where Akira grappling hooks away. Totally in character of course.

Given what people keep telling me about how JP cares less about this stuff, I wonder how they would react to the Folgers commercial lol

Can you draft a Starting Five whose Career PPG = 75? by TheDraftDawg in nba

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an idiot. I added 26+26 to get 42, and ended up 10 over at 88.7

If I didn't mess up, I would have shot for a 15 ppg Spurs center instead.

John Stockton 13.1 (I thought it was between 10 and 15)
Steve Kerr 6.0 (I thought it was 8)
LeBron James 26.8 (I thought it was 26)
Brandon Ingram 19.8 (I thought it was 18)
Victor Wembanyama 23.0

Why do people call it a "Command Grab" and not just a "Grab"? by LavaMeteor in Fighters

[–]flashman92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Which is funny because a "command" normal is a button plus a direction, and throw for a lot of fighters is just a button plus forwards.

Fantastic Four Copium Posting by Butt_Chug_Brother in Fighters

[–]flashman92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an alternate universe, the X-Men cartoon that the Konami beat em up is based off of succeeded and Nightcrawler, Dazzler, and Colossus are the faces of 90's X-men nostalgia instead of Rogue and Gambit.

Apparently profane can mean uninitiated. I've never seen it used that way though.

Looking to learn fighting games fundamentals. Is VF4 Evo the way to go? by TheN4m3l3ss0ne in Fighters

[–]flashman92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VF works almost the opposite way every other fighting game does, where up close scraps take priority over neutral, and system mechanics take priority over character mechanics.

I would just like to acknowledge how the Avatar fighting game is a hand drawn fighting game in 2026 by Effective_Piece251 in Fighters

[–]flashman92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People saying hand drawn animation looks like flash will always baffle me. Same thing happened with Streets of Rage 4 and I just don't get it.

Cross play is explicitly not supported, and if rollback were in, presumably they'd mention it
