And team Daigo/Tokido/Mago/Bonchan/Nyanshi won the tournament. Not too surprising but way too close, Umehara had to 3-kill in the finals. | ||

but since you are from Netherlands I guess it's not the case very few places in Europe have arcades (maybe only France?) | ||

For example, doing Rufus' ex.messiah kick, light kick follow up, FADC, ultra 1. In this combo you need to use the ex focus attack to cancel out of the flip kick follow up from the ex.messiah kick. When you do this you will have to dash so that the ex focus attack does not go all the way through. Make sure you are still holding medium punch and medium kick as you input the dash forward because if you just tap them the focus attack you will get the lv. 1 focus and not the dash. For a character like DeeJay you need to hit with the ex.focus attack in a combo to go into ultra 1. To make things more difficult you need it to get to lv.2 focus so that it will crumple them and not just be a normal hit. It requires a really good sense of timing, so I would not suggest trying to master it before more fundamental parts of gameplay. | ||

Focus attack into ultra relies on the crumple effect of level two and three. Whereas level one focus only crumples on counter hit. FADC setups require a move to be canceled into the ultra (a la Ryu DP into Ultra 1). To land either focus crumple into ultra or FADC ultras you always have to dash (I think. I can't really think of a situation where you let an ultra rip without dashing after it's connected, and you have to dash to fadc). Right before the focus is about to complete level three, or you let go of forward/strong to end it at whatever level you choose, input the dash, kind of like buffering, so you can start the ultra input right away. This is less practical advice in fadc situations though, I'm afraid, because the inputs are always pretty quick.

Now I get that the sticks are superior but money is kind of an issue these days for me, is the 100 dollars extra worth it or will a controller do just fine? You don't need a stick to play. A lot of people prefer the stick, but there are some successful pad players -- Wolfcrone, and Vangief come to mind, but they just use PS3 controllers I believe, not the fight pads that Madcatz and the like sell. In my opinion, sticks give you a little more control over your inputs, whereas pads tend to be faster. If you want take fighting games seriously, you should at least try a stick. At first the transition takes a bit of time, but I doubt I could play on a pad for most fighting games anymore. A cheap solution is the Madcatz SE, but I, along with many others, have had problems with the stock parts. It is super inexpensive, I think I found one online for 30$, but you certainly get what you pay for in terms of quality. | ||

Now I get that the sticks are superior but money is kind of an issue these days for me, is the 100 dollars extra worth it or will a controller do just fine? Stick is definitely the way to go, if you want the full experience. If money is an issue, get the $40 Hori, and if you are really liking it you can upgrade the buttons and joystick with the exact Sanwa parts that are in the TE Sticks. The only real difference at that point is size, the TE ways 10 lbs and is fairly large which is nice. The Hori weighs significantly less than the TE, and is much smaller too. Although yes, you can compete with a pad, I find playing on a stick much more fun and rewarding. | ||

Since I play E. Honda, but I feel like he is one character that is much easier to use on stick because of how crucial canceling into Hands is. I don't know how someone could do hands cancels on pad, but I am sure there is someone who has done it consistently. I am actually wanting to abandon the arcade stick for this alternative controller. | ||

I'm actually a pad player myself, but I'm not a serious player. Getting a stick is a commitment to the game for me because of the price, but I may get one soon. | ||

So yeah, stick it is, looking around now which one to buy. I dont want to blame all of it on the controller but trying to do FADC ultra on ryu for example on the standard x360 controller is wanting me to cut my wirsts. | ||

Stick... I started out on the d-pad, but then I found a trainings partner online who was back then way better than me and he was playing just with the stick. Feel like its better when doing the quarter circle moves because the d-pad doesnt registrate the forward-down too well. (could be wrong) | ||
