I know you guys have probably seen these threads a lot, but… ugh I am super annoyed at my new Fightstick TE!
My execution is okay, I used to use analog stick on PS3 controller. My two big problems are: Suck at supers and ultras, and always hit down-right instead of right/down-left instead of left etc. Any tips,help? :annoy:
You’ve just gotta practice. No way around it. Try to hit the button a little later than usual, and emphasize the right or left by practicing with half-circle motions.
Takes time… it just takes time.
My only advice is to ensure that your fight stick is in the same, comfortable position each time you use it, and try to ensure it doesn’t slide/shift around while you’re playing.
When starting out, it can be frustrating to have the stick turning a little on the table etc, because where you learned down to be can quickly become down-right/down-left with a slight shift of the stick. Try to maybe put it on the very edge of your desk/table, or ensure that it is straight on your lap at all times.
This is amplified by the fact that it probably has not registered to you yet, as a new stick user, that you don’t need to move the stick all the way to the gate (where it stops moving) before the switch is activated. Some people use very heavy, strong movements, and it is usually not needed, especially with responsive sticks like what are in the TE. You may want to take a few minutes and move the stick slowly from center to each direction, so that you can see (or rather, hear) when the switch activates, and feel when you hit the gate. There is quite a large amount of additional space.
Other than that, yeah, just practice like people already said above.
Sorry for the long-winded response.
Don’t be too forceful, light/slow motions are all you really need for proper execution.
And don’t worry, execution is really a weakness for many players, especially those new to controls, so if it makes you feel any better you’re not alone.
Thanks a TON. I have a bad habit of doing heavy motions, especially since I get angry easily while playing.
Here is something I learned from VesperArcade’s tutorials that greatly helped me out. He said to very slowly move the joystick left until you hear the click. Then to the right. Just back and forth slowly until your hand learns where left and right is.
When I first got my stick I would always hit up/foward at the end of Guiles U2 which would make me jump and get no ultra. I would end my double qcf ultra’s in down/foward and again no ultra, but once I sat for like 5 mins just jiggling the stick back and forth I got a hell of alot better.
Go to training mode and turn on you input display and figure out how your messing up the motions. I hope that helps.
We’ve all had to go through this. I’ve been working with a Sanwa modded Mayflash for about 3 months, and on square gate, i have not AT ALL gotten used to ultras. I can relate to you to because i came from dualshock3 with analog. If you’re playing a charge character: Stick with your TE normally and learn. shoto to. My experience with the jlf stock wasn’t bad, if your having trouble with hadoukens or quarter circles, you will get used to it fast, but i never ever got used to doing ultras on a square, so if you (after learning hadoukens) can’t do ultras, get a GT-Y. I did and it helped an AMAZING AMOUNT. stuck with my GT-c for about a month, switched back to square and im better than ever. Another thing to add : At first i always rode the gate, therefor when i tried to do QCF or something i would always end up instead of right, down-right. But after much time i dont ride gate, and it makes it alot easier. Definately not something you can force though, it takes time.
Honestly I had the same problem as well.
I switched to an octagonal gate. There’s tutorials on youtube. I also had to find a gate on at an arcade specialty store online. But it was worth the effort. It made the investment for the stick worth it.
Move the stick slowly from down to down forward to forward. Feel where the microswitches are and where your hand and your stick have to be to activate each one with minimal effort. Get used to the simple movement your hand has to make and then make sure you do that same movement when you do fireballs.
You try to just do the movement quickly without even being able to do the movement the same way everytime at a slower pace. Expect to mess up.
You have to practice.
just practice alot until everything comes out naturally. go to training mode & make sure your inputs are on, that way you can see if you coming up short or going long(on your inputs).
