It IS kinda fascinating that he's really only using his index finger and occasionally plinking with the middle finger, regardless of what button he's hitting...

I am going through hell with 7/9 inputs.  It's screwing me over in TK motions.  Anyone got advice?

Oh wow, I got my stick today (Qanba Q1) and am already loving it. Aside from 74 96 air dashes and <-DP, everything else came pretty easy. Going to need a lot of practice on those. Buttons are a bit bigger than I expected them to be, should I stick my fingers to certain buttons or let my fingers move around? Moving around feels best, but I don't know if that would be a bad habit or not.

 

Also, anyone mod a Qanba Q1? How are the buttons and joystick in comparison to Sanwa and Seimitsu parts? I like how the Qanba joystick feels, so I think I'd want similar to that. The buttons however.. To best compare what I'd like most in my button, something like a mechanical key on a Razer keyboard. Going by what I've read, it sounds like Seimitsu buttons might be similar in that regard.

Do whatever is most comfortable for you, buttons-wise.  I play BB, and that's a 4 button game, so there's no need to move them, but with games with more buttons, it pretty much becomes necessary.

 

I can't comment on the Qanba buttons, but Seimitsu buttons are "Stiffer" than Sanwa - Sanwa buttons press just from me resting my fingers on them, Seimitsu buttons don't.

If you're looking for keyboard buttons go with HBFS-G2's. They come with cherry mx reds by default but you can get blues,brown and black aswell iirc. They're a bit on the pricier side for buttons but they're real nice from what I've seen.

Hey all, I got a https://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-PS2-Universal-Arcade-Fighting-Stick/dp/B0015PHMFU/ and I'm having so much trouble doing 236 motions it's not even funny. I can 623 in an instant, and 214 goes off a a whole lot more then 236. I'm just kinda wanting to make sure it's not a stick error or defect. I plan on getting another stick around Jan 2017, but until then I'm stick with this.

So anyone got any tips for someone who can 623 perfectly but has a lot of trouble with 236?

I have a weird habit that I occasionally push BC by accident since i always cover them with middle/ring fingers.
