Your thoughts on Hitbox

ok i've come back to learning the most efficient way to struggle out of stagger with hitbox. Here's my older video showing it done once



Its very hard to do consistently but I figured out a way to do it with 4 inputs (3 directions + 2 buttons simultaneously while holding guard the entire time). The key here is in the timing of when to start the struggle because if you do it too early you get less inputs recognized but if u do it too late than you get hit by the followups.

So what I do is after getting hit by the stagger continue to hold . Then as soon as you think u should start, slide your left index finger across and at the same time press . By the time your left finger is touching you should also be landing on the . All this should be done within 1-3frames I'm guessing. Its really quick. To make it easier you can hold down all 3 buttons since you be guarding if everything works. Also i think the key here is sliding your left finger across the directions instead of piano'ing with 3 different fingers. The way hitbox works is that if you slide you don't get any diagonals unless u have a huge finger. You should only get cardinal directions which i think the system accepts moreso than diagonals. Anyway I can't seem to do it with the piano method so I'm assuming thats how it works.

I've done this a bunch of times but never consistently so i'm gonna work on it some more.

 

Here's a new video i made. Note that even with the slide diagonals will come out sometimes. Also im hitting all 3 buttons at once but you can also hold instead and hit . It works pretty much the same

 

Bet you can't get more hipster than my friend's prototype.

 

Hahaha, that is pretty epic man, great image

 

I made mine out of an Ethiopian that Angelina Jolie imported for me.

 

Bump!
The HitBox caught my attention. I try several sticks, but definitely I sucks with it...is just like don't fit for me. I remember years ago, playing with MAME (KoF 2001/2002 my favorites) on PC, I used to play with the keyboard pretty well, but using the directional inputs with my right hand, instead of the A-S-D-W or A-S-D-Space keys. I think it's time to build a cheap inverted? HitBox, and try it with VF and DoA 5.

 

Nice job dude!

QUESTION: Does P+K+G = P+K = 1 input, i.e. no any differences and advantages for pressing several buttons AT THE SAME TIME (by binding P+K+G on one button)?
Then why we need to press P+k insted of P or K alone?

 

I think P+K+G or P+K does count as one input in the struggle timeline but it does the job for some reason.

 

I'm revisiting stagger recovery with the slide method. Cobratron are you able to get out of staggers mid match using this method now?

 

I seriously suck at stagger break regardless of joystick or hitbox but I have been able to do it a few times against people. Its just something I need to work on.

 

I was in dojo mode today trying this out and your method worked perfectly. I just have to get used to doing it in a match now.

 

Guys, it's really very important question:
P+k+g = 3 inputs or only 1 input (so, is similar = alone P or K or G) for struggling?...

 

it equal 1 input.

 

If there is a + , it means hit those buttons as a single command.

If you are playing pad, I used to have my A (360) button set as pkg along with my left trigger.

 

I have never been good with stagger breaks. Is it dumb to ask why hitting back and forth is less effective than the method you are describing? (Playing on a hitbox)

 

The joystick's throw takes time.

 

Does it mean that no need to input P+K with G for struggling. Just needed only P with holding G?

 

^ thats something i've never even tried but I'll will test it when i have a chance

 

When i was practicing it yesterday I would plink G into P+K while holding G. Regardless of what is needed I just like ending my stagger that way. It technically counts as 2 inputs. But that also depends on which directional you're hiting when he G plink is coming.

 

So, what is the true:

2-3 buttons simultaneously pressed – more effective for struggling than 1 pressed button?
(Btw, the same Struggling technique is useful for FASTER getting up (standing up) from Knock down position)
