Well, you can buy an arcade stick at most stores where they specialize in video games. The one in the picture is a Madcatz SE, which is a piece of crap until you mod it. So, then you find a nice picture you want, and order some parts (new stick and buttons) and watch a bajillion Youtube videos or read a bajillion threads on Shoryuken about modding sticks, and there you have it.
I still feel like I'm being misinterpreted... I mean when Makoto parries without doing a followup, she just stands there. Parrying a spaced attack will leave her standing in place or forced to follow-up and subsquently get punished because, ordinarily she'd zoom through the opponent, but against stuff like Hakumen's 4C, she'll stop right in front of him. When I say I lag, I don't mean online... I mean cooldown lag on the action.
lol, I remember this. Reminds me of the Street Fighter IV character select theme synced to "Sweet Cherry Pie."
Oh, I see. I was confused by your use of the word "lag." I get it now. In that case, wouldn't it be better in some instances to block rather than parry? It's just a thought because I have no idea.
Not that hard. Mostly, it takes patience, especially for the art mod. Have you ever heard the phrase, "measure twice, cut once?" XD The hardest part about modding the stick is putting the new buttons in, I swear. I don't have the hand strength. I had to get my boyfriend to push them in.
Makoto SHOULD be punished against well spaced moves when she parries. If she was able to parry all of them and punish, that wouldn't be too fair. It's like being able to punish an opponent for using a projectile. Characters like Hakumen don't have projectiles, so well spaced moves are their answer to that. Always being careful of parries wouldn't exactly be fair for them.
Whichever you can get your hands on. 3rd Strike is different than most fighters because of the parry system. BB is much easier to get into, and there's also online so you can play with others. So playing BB might be better.
If you like faster gameplay and long combos, go with BlazBlue.
Blazblue isn't hard to play. The 5 frame buffer between combos makes them easier to pull off than combos in most other fighting games. Unless you have a friend to play offline with you, I wouldn't play 3rd Strike.
Yep, I play on my ps3. That sucks; I was looking forward to playing against you.
LOL Litchi VS Makoto was fun. I'll probably do more of those matches next time.
Um, if you order from Lizardlick, it takes about a week, more or less. They ship from North Carolina, so mine had to go through customs and deal with Canada Post. I don't think they would take longer than that.
I play on Xbox, add me. My gamertag is:
How is she technical? Anyway, I've had to learn mixups, footsies, and pressure weathering with SF. I guess it's time to learn combo strings, abundant canceling, and higher reaction skills with BB. If I can get those three areas down(almost feels like one group is academics and the other group is athletics), I think I might be in good shape.
I want to see this Taokaka now.
I'll preface this by saying that I don't know how much you know about Blazblue, so if it's stuff that you already know, feel free to disregard it.I'm still learning with this system and timing is such a ***** for me.
I feel like I'm just mashing out the buttons and not getting anywhere, especially in story mode only to be trolled over and over. I'm still not sure on mains other than possibly Taokaka, but the stuff I see at Dustloop is freaking me out.
Rushdown, mixups, especially on oki, and having to rely on reads extensively, this seems to be my style. I've heard Bang might be a good choice for me. How is Makoto with this?
I found this video of her challenge 1 & 2, it's not the best quality but should show all her specials.
I know what you mean. I find I win more offline than online.I'm losing pretty much every match I play, it's making me wonder why I won more often back in CT.
