My laptop's keyboard cannot register tripple-kick "the normal way", so I need to use that as someone maining Juri.

And before someone goes "get a better keyboard" I'll respond with no, because I don't need it. I can play all games just fine with my laptop's one.

The thing is, you probably can't. Playing SFIV on a keyboard without N-key rollover is very likely to give you problems, specially if you play characters like Juri. Say, you've charged lk and mk, is holding down-back and want to use jab? Does it come out? Even if it does, there will be button combinations that wont behave the way you expect them to.

As I said before, I'm not planning to become a pro, plus I've seen pros doing just fine w/o stick.

So i bought the game on steam since I never use my xbox anymore, only to find out that my stick broke. First of all I'm deciding whether or not I'm gonna buy a new stick but in the meantime, I'm wondering; is it possible to do instant air teleports with the keyboard?

I haven't tested it but I think its nearly impossible to precisely and consistently teleport at varying heights using wasd.
Should probably play Boxer or Guile on keyboard.

I don't know anything about teleporting, but I usually play on stick, and just tried playing keyboard today. It's NOT the same, and I suggest you buy another stick.

Even the cheap ones like this are better than keyboard:

Yeah if you cannot hold 3 keys down I don't see how you can possibly play Juri <_< A better keyboard costs like 5 dollars or less.

You don't need an arcade stick at all, I'd argue that keyboard is superior to arcade stick in many things. I suggest a control system where the thumb is jump, preferably for the right hand. Right hand also has the kick and punch keys as a cluster of 3x2 so that both those keys and the jump are comfortable to press. Furthermore, you also have issues in other games with a laptop keyboard.

Jump for the right hand's thumb because if it's on the left hand your left and right motions become totally different, it's much easier if it's on the right hand.


Using number keys for movement with up to jump is awful please don't even think about doing that.

I REALLY suggest getting an arcade stick though. You can get them for not too much money(especially in cheap ass Sweden ), you feel that you have much more control over your character, AND it gives you that nice arcade feel when playing. I really regret that I didn't bring my arcade stick to my dads place during summer

Are you located in Europe?

Bolded part
Sweden is not as cheap as people might think, especially for students.

And getting a stick is not an option for me, because it most likely won't fit on my desktop. And since I'm having an office chair with armrest, it will be weird of me having it their. Plus I already have a set-up that I enjoy, why change a winning concept?

Play with the stick on your lap. They're nice and heavy (in particular the TE series has a good amount of bulk to it so it's not going to slide around). Armrests or not, you'll still have plenty of room.

If it's just a busted button or busted stick gates, you can order those online and put them in yourself. Buttons are dirt cheap and a decent stick is around 25 dollars which will last a pretty long time. I'd look into this before buying a new one :p.
