An unusual request (Xpost from videos sub)

[Corpse_Slam]

I was reading the sticky about arcade sticks, and it got me to thinking;

 

So next week I will be receiving my first fight-stick in the mail. After 10+ years of playing Guilty Gear on pad, I have finally decided to make the switch, as I want to begin competing seriously, and while most people will say "play what you're comfortable on", in my experience, playing on a pad does limit some things you can do.

 

Any way, I digress. The point of this post is that I would like to know if anyone is aware of any videos online that show good player's hands while they play? I have found a few videos that are instructional in nature (how to hold the stick, where to place your hands, etc..) but I feel like it would be very useful to see players actually PLAYING. 

 

I think that if we get enough good responses, perhaps we could sticky this thread, and use it as a resource for newbies to the fighting game genre, or newbies to arcade-sticks in general, like myself.

you'll find that when you watch hands there are a lot of unseen inputs. those are probably option selects. if you have any questions on what somebody is doing, please ask it. somebody who plays the game probably knows what it is.

This isn't an anime fighter, but I think it shows good technique nonetheless.
