My first fight stick!

Aphogue · 2013-03-21T13:17:01.000Z

Hi. I’ve loved fighting games ever since i pulled off my first ultra combo in Killer Instinct for the SNES, and when i bought UMvC3 a while back I told myself i would get a fight stick and get a little serious. Well fast forward to today and I got a Hori Real Arcade Pro VX-SA KAI. I have no idea what im doing yet. Ha.

Can anyone point me to a tips thread? i saw something about a Daigo grip, which felt comfortable to me, but i wanna know a bit more.

For MvC3 right? Would vids like this help? One is Blazblue but I think it can help with Marvel too.

Some light reading to help you solve your problems:

SRK Newbie Saikyo Dojo Execution Guide (read me!)

This space is mine. And stuff.

SRK Newbie Saikyo Dojo Arcade Stick FAQ (Read this before asking questions)

What is a gate? What should I know about them? [007] A gate, or restrictor plate, is a part of arcade sticks that limit the movement of the stick. These are a removable part featured on most Japanese sticks. They come in different shapes but not all shapes are available for all brands of sticks. The most common shapes are square, octagon, and circle. The Sanwa JLF–which comes standard in the Madcatz TE–uses a square gate as its default gate. It can be switched out with a Sanwa produced octagon…

The first two links isn’t 100% about learning how to use an arcade stick, but a lot of that information is still relevant, and I’d advise you sift through it.
