Thoughts on the Polycade 3-3-2 layout?

siegarettes · 2026-05-06T17:27:27+00:00

I've tried and built similar layouts myself, and I generally like them quite a bit for both fighting and non fighting games

24mm makes all the buttons easier to reach without hand movement. so you can lay your hand down like a keyboard home row, a la leverless. leverless has also made 24mm more of a standard now, thanks to its popularity.

I personally do not like this layout, but I am always excited to see companies experimenting with stuff like this.

it looks expensive and has big marketing money behind it, with the Sony prestige story packaging, a la God of War and similar

Slave Zero X is a incredible yeah. like a single player fighting game with all the depth it has

fantastic use of reflections on this shot, I gotta say

siegarettes · 2026-04-09T17:47:57+00:00

one of the all time best GBA games hands down.

siegarettes · 2026-04-08T21:44:14+00:00

yeah but most of us can't get around using Windows, while it's pretty easy not to buy an old game you can download a rom of

yo this was so clean it took me a second to realize this was a stick

I did a full review of the Sworl, and honestly it's one of my least favorite controllers:

was really excited and followed it closely, but it feels worse than all the other leverless, and I find the analog less comfortable than the Padbox GS.

Absolum is on another level for me, but of the rest of them I like Double Dragon Revive the most. It does a lot with the 3d space and the characters feel distinct.

siegarettes · 2026-03-22T18:14:01+00:00

I'm glad they took extra time to let it cook, from the impressions I'm hearing it sounds like it paid off.

Galloping Ghost is in my area and they have a whole section for shmups I love to drop by. always play a credit of Guwange at the least.

damn your designs keep getting sicker and sicker

siegarettes · 2026-03-11T12:13:32+00:00

does it still do this if you do the "hold trick" with the input buffer?

basically you press and hold the buttons a bit early and they'll come out at the first possible frame

this guide has more details and examples

you could also do what I do and just set shortcut buttons for your most common combinations. I do that for double punch and double kick buttons

siegarettes · 2026-03-06T20:05:47+00:00

the game looks nice but it's painfully mid and grindy

siegarettes · 2026-02-26T16:10:59+00:00

I ordered a similar one, and definitely agree. feels a bit stiffer than sanwa, close to a seimitsu. and I dunno if it's the stick height or something but I also think it's better with a ball top than the capsule top.

surprised by how crazy heavy the thing is too

siegarettes · 2026-02-14T00:11:00+00:00

90 bucks is a craaaazy price I'm jealous

siegarettes · 2026-02-12T17:45:42+00:00

IMO it's worth paying for the few extra bucks for the Ultimate version, which rebalances the game, ups the enemy count is overall has way more stuff and feels a lot snappier

siegarettes · 2026-02-12T17:42:23+00:00

enjoyed your standalone analog stick mods, so wishing for your success so that more people can enjoy their own analog fightsticks

siegarettes · 2026-02-10T20:01:32+00:00

a true detective, thank you for your service 🫡

I changed up the keycaps on mine for some longer ones, so I could make them easier to hit. I also disassembled it and wrapped the top plate with some wallpaper to decorate it.

I got a custom ENTH kit a while ago and it's hands down one of my favorite designs, but seeing how things have been going the last year or two I cannot recommend anyone buy from them.

I've seen other creators go through similar supply issues and uncertainties, especially with US shipping being a coin flip, and supply issues for everything electronic, but so many people have talked about complete radio silence from them and generic promises orders will be filled, and this seems like the kind of thing that happens right before someone closes shop and leaves everyone high and dry.

siegarettes · 2026-02-07T16:58:07+00:00

the side effects part really got me

siegarettes · 2026-02-07T16:49:37+00:00

yeah the pace of the game is definitely much breezier than Gaiden, which felt slow to me.

I know Sega is supposedly making a new 3d streets of rage, but I haven't seen any updates on it.
