I'm thinking about making the switch from pad to stick. For this purpose, I have borrowed a friend's Hori Fighting Stick II to test with.
Now, I know I shouldn't expect playing equally well the first time I try stick after having played with pad for a year and a half, but holy shit it's harder then it seemed. I only manage to IAD about 60% of the times (but sometimes in the wrong direction ), I constantly confuse P and K, I do MANY accidental jumps/superjumps, I can barely land the most basic of combos and I have many other issues. Also, my right wrist hurts. One of the things I do noticed got easier was RKys 5H FRC (Most FRCs, in fact).
Anyways, I know a lot of this will go away with tons of practice, but I'm looking for advice to easy the transition. How should I hold the stick? Is there anything to think about to make it easier? and such.
I'm using the standard GGXX button config for both pad and stick
Pad: (D and R on shoulders)
S
P H
K
Stick:
K S H
P R D
