[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

my local manga shop has an official @BandaiNamcoUS hobby center now, i’ll try to make it a habit to buy more gunpla!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@smoothcat5 yooo this setup is insane!! how long did this take to setup man? wow...

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@NighrW sakurai put in that work with smash bros! plus sony moves no units in japan, just sayin’…

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@BlossomFGC i’m excited to learn! considering picking up a HORI stick for my PS2. i’ve heard about hand fatigue with stick and some folks have recommended me leverless to avoid this… but it seems a bit odd control-wise to wrap my head around lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

i’m really into fighting games but didn’t play very seriously until last year. now i’m considering learning stick and competing at locals but not sure where to start… lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@saiya_ran @Pokemon let’s gooo!!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@_verqion_ mannn you’re really selling me on it ngl 😂

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@BlossomFGC i’m really interested:
- vampire savior
- marvel vs capcom 2
- street fighter III: 3rd strike
- tekken 5 & 8

i’m planning to learn on PS2 since the older sticks are cheaper!!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@_verqion_ oooo… might have to look into that! everybody is saying leverless is the way to go!!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@cutehaglauren yeah, i grew up playing tekken 3-5 around my uncles and dad’s friends so i have an unc mentality by default 😂. i’ve been hearing a lot about leverless lately, folks say the inputs are quicker and more precise. but the lack of stick feels alien to me lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@cutehaglauren i definitely do suffer from imposter syndrome when it comes to the fgc. it feels like there’s always a “correct” way of playing. i like to improve so i’m always seeking out the next step but sometimes that just looks like dogma lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@somesandman i’m just a guy who likes to be prepared y’know? i prefer having a solid grasp of concepts before doing things publicly

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@fortuneemokpae2 anytime! i’m down to run a set if you want, just let me know

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

because of my job i have limited time to play tekken anymore, but last night i reached tekken god supreme… only a rank away from god! let’s gooo #Tekken8

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@TranFGC_ @TitanicSlapper seee now that makes a lot of sense, thank you. this makes the decision much easier

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@fortuneemokpae2 for me it took memorizing knowledge checks and flow charts of majority of the cast. you’d be surprised how many players can’t adapt because of how far certain buttons will allow you to climb. stick to fundamentals and you’ll be ok!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@__Exige__ @IzunaDrop66 i’ve never heard of either of these styles… man, i got some serious research to do lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@Yonkobrice thank you, i’m shooting for god next month!!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@TitanicSlapper any reason why?

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@__Exige__ @IzunaDrop66 yeah… i find that on pad i’m not as precise as i used to be when i played stick at the arcade. i play tekken 8 mostly and can’t even electric consistently with the dualsense… i find the pad is a bit sticky, (for lack of better term) so i’m open to trying different systems!

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@IzunaDrop66 @Yonkobrice y’know… i never really thought about the pain of lugging that thing around everywhere 😂

might stick with pad… for now

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@Yonkobrice @IzunaDrop66 yeah i think i’m getting influenced by all the footage i see of pros running stick. to me it looks “real” you feel me? lol

[GreasyPixel @GreasyPixel]

@SilentJohnX @IzunaDrop66 i think i’ll still buy a stick but play with pad for now… because honestly the stick would be awesome for playing schmups at home too!!
