this game looks awesome

[Turbo]

the most experience i have in a fighter is strive, and even then, i can only play for about an hour before my thumbs start to hurt. I know most serious fighters use sticks so maybe its different, but I appreciate the easier button inputs for the sake of my hands

here's hoping to a good launch and a decent playerbase for a while. (and if successful, some dope character additions later)

Or, you know... it's a personal preference thing.

There's definitely nothing wrong with playing on gamepad, esp since most modern fighting games seem to be geared towards them. But I've also had thumb fatigue from mashing away on a gamepad.

I'm, personally, a fan of fightsticks and the like, and if gamepads aren't really working, i def recommend trying one out. The 8bitdo arcade stick is pretty decently priced at around $80, and while I don't think you'd want to swagger onto EVO holding the thing (it's got some input lag), it's a reasonably decent fighstick and maybe not a bad one to test out.

yeah ill prob try stick eventually. Mostly just to have the buttons to press for attacks seems fun.

I play may in strive and using the charge attacks and half circle for ult stuff ends up hurting after a bit. i will miss the dash button though, maybe theyll add it to dnf eventually

Did you just reply to a post saying “use whatever you want to use” with “use whatever you want to use”?

Anyway TC I was there when a handful of my friends decided to all get fight sticks. I was there when they were absolute garbage for several months before they got used to it. I remain here still largely better than they are because I lab stuff and play more often. A stick or alternate control method won’t make you better. A stick has legitimate control advantages in niche situations I won’t deny. Especially on characters with hold button inputs like zero from mvc3 or juri from street fighter, but the advantages aren’t so steep as to be completely undoable on pad or otherwise. It really is just whatever you feel most comfortable using, be it pad, stick, hitbox, steering wheel, guitar hero controller, or whatever else.

Ya, though in my experience, that sorta thing tends to be less of a concern on fightsticks. Between the option of hitting a macro shortcut button, or hitting two attack buttons for the same effect, i'll usually go for the two buttons. Having a full hand of digits to utilize makes those types of actions a bit less of a hassle.

since there is no air movement in this game i imagine thats why otherwise there probably would be a dash macro right now only 2 characters that we know of has air movement but they are tied to special moves

I was the same years ago when I first started playing:
thumbs hurt after just an hour of playing and practicing, then got a stick, then went back to pad because it was for comfortable for me and I grew up on pad, compared to old school fighter players being used to arcade cabinet
now i can play fighters all day and my fingers arent bothered at all
