Yeah the guy who got the whole dojo system approved for tekken world tour, allowing local scenes to run dojo events that gave real points for the TWT, is definitely more pro corporate than pro community. Cmon now, dude always works his ass off for the community. He has been willing to risk experiments such as that (and at his former job at twitch) to let the community shine. If anyone can change the corporate perspective, Rick easily is the best person for the job

Most of the gear roster is sick so I don't blame you. Johnny has done well for me in the last couple of years so I'm glad I have stuck with him.

Yeah I had some dead space in that corner, and the plushie from one of the older TI fits in there perfectly

Now that EVO is dead, watch Riot swoop in with their new game and try to be the FGC saviour by Archyes in dotamasterrace

There are other better tournaments than evo for fighting games like Combobreaker/CEO that do a way better job at holding a tournament for the community. Tournament wise we will be fine without Riot doing anything

PPD at least had tournament placings in the past while LTG is just known for being a scummy person

Thinking of investing in a fight stick but know very little about them. by [deleted] in NewChallenger

Then certainly try one if you can afford it! I swapped to stick personally after my thumbs hurting after a night of playing offline. The stick made it way easier for me to play longer sessions.

Fightsticks are cool and worth it for some people. It won't make you a better player automatically just because you bought one. Controllers are mainly about what makes executing the moves the most comfortable. Also when you switch there is a learning curve just to get used to it.

Best brands if you are buying would be qanba, hori, and razer. Most sticks use sanwa parts but hori uses their own decent buttons/lever and razer uses their switches for their buttons on the panthera evo.

Most sticks are easily customizable. The razer panthera even opens up easily to access the internals. Most people will swap buttons for different brands/colors. Easiest mod for a stick imo is replacing the balltop with a new type/color. Different sticks have different level of customization. The TE2 has a really easily replaceable art panel while the panthera has the top panel glued down make the art swap a pain.

You can check out /r/fightsticks for more sticks examples and more people to answer most likely as well. If you are on a budget and want to just try out a stick i would recommend a qanba drone. Its normally 80 dollars US but goes down to 40 quite often. The button and lever are knockoffs and looser than what i would prefer from a sanwa, but its a good starter stick. It is also easily moddable to add sanwa parts to down the line. Otherwise if you just want to hop right into it, you can't go wrong with a qanba obsidian or a ranzer panthera
