[@kurayami-]

I recently started going to the local scene as well and started playing SFV, I have always played fighting games but I haven’t taken them seriously or competitively. So when I entered the first day I got demolished completely. But now that I am a month and a half in, I noticed some progress because I practiced, I’m still free but proud of my progress anyway! Cuz I went from Bronze to Silver~

🅱️rite (also you’re not helping by calling it out)

[@larvaedadindex]

@@shampoogoblin4865 you're so lame

[@itraynell]

When i play pad on certain games, i play claw. I rest the pad on my leg like an arcade stick and use my Index and middle finger click my attack buttons. That way you can not only click buttons faster, but you can easily click two buttons at the same time. I mainly played this way for Tekken, KOF, and Marvel vs Capcom. But for games that use the trigger buttons a lot like mkx, i hold the pad traditionally.

[@EagleCeres]

Yirgacheffe (Yerga Chefe/Yirgachefe)... that's actually the name of the town/region of southern Ethiopia where the original Arabica coffee bean hails from. So this is like the Original Coffee.

[@Sativa989]

The only thing that kills me with the stick is the movement pad is so much more instant for dashes forward and back .I mean I do have a stick but it's in retirement, I've come to the conclusion that I enjoy if done properly with a light quick reacting hand/ thumb on input when sliding your thumb on pad more "Non mashing " very satisfying. And of course better on it, forcing myself to stick is literally throwing away all my muscle memory to start from scratch.

[@ChimericGaming]

I'm SO Glad I'm not the only person who has trouble on pad. I wanted to swap to fightsticks because the pressure on my hands makes them cramp like almost arthritis inducing.

[@pite9]

I play with a pad, but I hold the right hand like you would for the buttons on an arcade stick, and I use two fingers. The only negative is that you sacrifice the shoulder buttons on the right hand, but I only play Tekken, which is a 4 button game, so I don't need the shoulder buttons. All the pad player Tekken pros play like this. I learned this style when I was a kid, because I was struggling to do the directional 2 button combinations, like for example square + circle.

[@Ashamanknight]

I'm not willing to put this much effort for my coffee first thing in the morning.

[@Mindesyn]

I wish I had someone like that to talk FGC stuff with lmao

[@Dewabarasunderan]

1:17 the audio before was actually more pleasant

[@homurayurisquad1423]

I gotta say average level in japan and north america are pretty similar in niche market games, based on my netplay experience. Granted I mostly play japanese random players in arcana heart, where it seems so niche that most regular NA players are probably just crazy. So I would say the best overall players I played regularily are NA, though maybe lag has a factor in that, or they didnt play me enough to figure me out. The main difference is that if i play randoms during japanese hours, they actually have players so skill/play style is more varied, which makes it a better experience when it doesn't lag too much. seems like japan just actually has players since I talked to japanese friends who say they go to locals, and showed me replays from arcade tournies and casuals they entered. which are non existent here for a lot of games. I'll probably play some random japanese million arthur players soon and see how that goes, when i learn that game. It seems net code's pretty good so it shouldnt even lag much most of the time

Boston, You say? Well, Boston just started to have a public Gaming cafe with a paid weekly fighting game match in 2017, and they are called Balance Patch

[@NihongoGamer]

Awesome!

[@chotiracreme7134]

I understand the problem with pressinf 2 buttons with a pad either i did a 1 then to 2 or vice versa. What i did was changing the way i hold my right hand. Instead of using my thumb for doing the moves i used it to hold the pad. So i used my index and middle finger to execute moves. And i would us my ring and pinkie finger to use the triggers. So basicially i would play on a pad like i would play on stick. If someone would love to try be my guest.

[@whiteramses7499]

When is the next video coming up with Goose. i am a huge Goose fan.

[@Lee-mq4yp]

This is dangerous territory but I had a Chinese friend at school. His reactions were undeniably better than everyone else, the only way to beat him was with tactics in fighting games but he just saw and predicted everyone's moves.

[@Ichithix]

All you have to do is watch some footage of silver/gold level play from the US or Australia, to see there is a difference in skill at the same ranks in Asia in SFV.

[@danielbraga5980]

When I was a kid, I played so much KOF 95 that part of the skin in my hand just fell. Everytime I played I went home bleeding. The doc said that if I played 1 or 2 times I would reach the muscle and tendons. I have always been super resistant to pain, so I didn't feel anything.

Soooo you can place gamepad on your knee, left hand on d-pad and piano press the buttons with right hand. Personally no other way for me to play a fighting game on gamepad.

[@pastel_witch-j9m]

Pressing X and triangle on Dualshock is the hardest, or Square and Circle and Tekken games always have those moves. I find them super hard and annoying!

[@BLACKDISC]

you can bind those to the shoulder buttons. I have 2+3(Triangle+X) bound to my R1 button.

[@TK_Tazzkooler]

or you could buffer the super then its just 1 button ?

[@HahnDeathspark]

Just curious as someone who also grinds and drips coffee myself. You intentionally grind them not as fine? Or does your grinder not allow you to grind any finer? If you want it this way, why?

[@NihongoGamer]

Too fine and the air has trouble escaping. Too coarse and the flavour becomes weak. Still searching for the perfect grind ;)

[@HahnDeathspark]

@@NihongoGamer Cool :) I'll keep experimenting as well to find that perfect blend. For me, best results so far are close to fine.
