I'm still having issues constantly dropping inputs even with the d-pad. It’s mindblowing to me that every single “fighting pad” you can buy has a D-pad instead of a 4 or 8 way stick like an actual arcade stick has. I mean, who is the genius who thought the best way to do circular inputs was on a cross instead of an actual circle?emperior wrote:I have switched to the directional pad because I couldn't fire special moves with the stick. Now I can use them everytime without failure, and I feel so good. I completed the Super Warriors arc without being able to fire off special moves at will and it was frustrating.SSJ2bardock wrote:Asura wrote:Okay, is there a video or something that shows how to do quarter circles with the d-pad? This shouldn't be rocket science, yet for some reason I am failing almost 10/10 times to execute special moves no matter what I do. I hit down, then quickly move my thumb over to the right in a circle motion and hit X, and instead of a Kamehameha Goku just keeps jumping back and firing a ki blast into the air. I tried hitting both directional buttons at the same time, spacing out when I hit them, playing around with the timing, and no matter what I do I have only been able to do it maybe once in like the 30+ tries I've done. I've no trouble doing it on analog except for the fact that analog is inaccurate and causes me to drop inputs sometimes.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Figured it out, I think it's cause I must have still been holding Down on the D-Pad after I completed the half circle.
I’ve always had this problem also with fighting games that require you to roll a stick for combos and I miss button inputs pretty often. I tend to naturally start the quarter circle turn a little bit too short, however recently I’ve tried starting the turn back a little bit farther than it needs to be and it’s improved my consistency a lot.
On a side note, is there a thread here to discuss the competitive aspects of the game where people who are seeking help can get it from better players? I’m doing decently online, but there’s a few things that keep giving me trouble (Kid Buu is so annoying to play against) and I want to progress as a player.
Between the constant dropped inputs and the fact that the game keeps pairing me up against people with absurd W/L ratios with skill much greater than mine, I’m getting ready to throw the disk out the window.
