I'm in the market for someone else's thumbs. I don't know why it is but I'm having the toughest time getting Viper's shoryuken motion move out. I was never bad at doing shoryukens before.
Finally got my stick in the mail.
After two months of waiting, it's finally here!
The joystick feels better than the first, but I'm still going to replace it with Sanwa parts as soon as they restock them.

part 2: what is the goddamned fascination with sanwa parts
is it because the japanese use them or because fighting game nuts namedrop them all the time
happ parts are just as good and aren't fucking alien and weird
seriously if you're used to american arcade games, look into happ parts. playing on sanwa parts will frustrate the christ out of you until you eventually get used to them.

Happ parts tend to break down more easily than Sanwa parts, for starters. And I prefer the ball joystick over the bat.
if you've played a game in an american arcade, you're basically familiar with happ parts
sanwa parts certainly work well, but japanese sticks generall have much shorter shafts and much looser springs than american ones. their buttons are convex instead of concave
both companies build quality parts but before you jump at sanwa parts because it's the hot name on the internet, make sure you understand the differences
the tekken 5 machine here had sanwa sticks in it. at first i thought the springs were broken. i couldn't play it for shit with that wobbly ass stick. i'm sure given time i would have gotten used to it, but personally i'd rather have the same stick and button feel that i've been playing for 20+ years

that's cool, i'm not advocating one over the over, play on what you like
it's just that the only time sticks are mentioned it's usually in conjunction with a shitload of sanwa replacements, and i imagine that there's at least one dude out there frustrated with his new custom sanwa stick because he didn't know there was a difference

For 2D fighters, I think having the much looser Sanwa sticks are better, but... I can kind of see how they would be a gigantic pain in the ass for Tekken, or any other precise 3D fighter. I should test out Virtua Fighter 5 on this stick.
So I've never really gotten into fighting games too much, mostly because I never had the money to drop at an arcade. I had read that IV contained a challenge mode that helps train people who are new the game, but it appears that it just has you do the commands and the combos, but doesn't seem to give you any indepth information on how to play.
I have been able to beat the single player version on easy (though there are times when I get 'stuck' on an opponent for a while), but I can't seem to get past the second round on medium (especially if it's C.Viper).
Are there any good training places for beginner's? It seems that most of what I've found is geared towards people who know what they are doing.

Honestly, the only way to get better at Street Fighter is to play it.
You'll eventually pick it up.
You can always check out Shoryuken.com and read the forums on tips, but there's a bunch of jargon you'll have to pick up first.

Her chief weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency and a fanatical devoti...
God if you run across SonicBooga be prepared for a Seth gayfest.
At the risk of sounding like a scrub and calling a kettle black ... fuck you Seth and all your shit.
I played him 1 match and got owned, like I think I managed a few light taps and maybe 1 tiger shot. So I played a few more ranked and then saw him again. Fine, I want a second shot.
Played him again and it was a helluva lot closer, took it 3 rounds and I really should have taken him down but I lost the rhythm and he found his. Who decided fast procjectiles, huge jumps and Dhalsim's reach was a good idea for a character?

But Seth hits like a 9 year old girl and takes damage like a 4 year old girl.
Those two light taps probably took 40% of his health away from him!

You have to play it with an open mindset, too. There are lots of people who have been playing SF terribly for 20 years.
the standard fightsticks have a washer under the joystick that doesn't fit in it's depression, so it rubs against the pcb and over a short time will eat right through it

Also yesterday doesn't count because clearly I was playing with someone else's thumbs.
I wasn't bragging, I was joking. Knob would kick me straight in the dick in 3rd Strike.
I used to be so good with Yun.

I'm going to throw some Sanwa parts in there as soon as I can.
edit: jesus they are like all over $100
I have a Fightstick
And a Fightpad.
The Fightstick is gathering dust because HEY, it's a piece of crap that I have to by Sanwa parts for but am so lazy.
Oh and they're both for PS3 the system where Sneak won't trade in like one game to play me in so I can beat him with Viper.
SO GAY.
at all
the fightstick has a defect that destroys itself. if you fix the defect before irrevocably fucking up your stick then its perfectly acceptable
at least assuming one of the buttons doesn't fail, but that seems rarer
I will research this.
is it because the japanese use them or because fighting game nuts namedrop them all the time

i just prefer japanese style sticks so

no one seems to expect cammy in ranked

Or Knob.
I came in third.
Straight?
I'll take it at 3/1

What is this defect people are talking about? Is it with this stick, or just the TE?
the te sticks are fine
the standard fightsticks have a washer under the joystick that doesn't fit in it's depression, so it rubs against the pcb and over a short time will eat right through it
The fuck you did, I still haven't played my matches.
