So, did you adopt the exact hand placement as in the video? With Tekken, I feel like I need to have each finger resting on 1234 buttons. Because sometimes you need to press 3+4, so a single thumb won't do it. My resting finger placement is, 1 index, 2 middle, 3 thumb, 4 ring. Problem is, I'm starting to feel pain below the wrist and a bit along the fingers. But I'm also new to leverless so I don't know if it's caused by this finger posture or not.

@@user-eu5ol7mx8y I've re macro'd my buttons on the right hand but I think the way I've done it is pretty unique as I'm playing Steve I've done it so 1234 all sit naturally under my fingers, then re macro'd a button for 3+4 etc. As for the left I am playing with my left thumb on jump, it felt really weird for a while but I'm starting to develop the mind muscle connection I think.

Mistimed and mis-pressed buttons are usually caused by resting your palms on the board. You must lift your hands as if you are playing the piano. This is why piano players can use all fingers without accidentally pressing a different key. Also by lifting your palms, it allows better reach and perfect horizontal orientation, you are moving your forearm and not twisting your wrist. Twisting your wrist makes you lose orientation horizontally making you press the wrong buttons, very similar to a piano. A piano has 88-keys and we never lose orientation even without looking, this only has 12 buttons

If you never play on a fightstick then it would take some time to get used to hand placement on left hand on movement and right hand on button placement. Now, the most important tip I can tell you is to relax your hands. Don’t tense up. The more you tense up you tend to stay on the button longer and do a move you didn’t meant to press. Also, you tend to hurt your hands if you tense up for a long period of time. Just relax and have fun trying on moves.

Same bro. I have my on and off days too. There have been nights where my mates would body me and I sit there wondering why I bother to play the game, and there might be the odd night where I'd hit a 10 - 20 win streak with the same people. The times I do best are when I'm not really thinking about my hands and just focused on what is happening on screen and using my fundamentals. I do believe that if you put the time in to lab and do the training, your brain and hands will align gradually and do what it needs to do. The difficult part is to accept and push through the learning curve, but you'll get there buddy. Especially if you're enjoying how it feels to use a controller like this. When it all comes together and your hands are flowing, it's very satisfying, I'm sure you've experienced those moments!

If you're a pad/console player, it might be easier to switch the up and down commands. Ultimately, try both and practice what you're most comfortable with. For me, I used the original way for over a week and didn't get very far. Changed them round and almost instantly improved at everything. Thank you for the video

I recommend a 1000% you use the left thumb for jumping from the get-go. Also, you can argue this is just personal preference, but I never use my right thumb for anything. I use my index finger for LK and LP, middle finger for MP and MK and ring finger for HK and HP. For throw/parry/DI I just use my index and middle finger together. And yes, you can use the right pinky finger for L1(LB)/L2(LT)

I do agree that in general, I think left thumb for jump is better, it's just more intuitive to a lot of people. That said, I do sometimes find use case scenarios where I'll use right thumb for jump. I find for example in Tekken, there's throws that use the u/f+1+2 command and I find that pressing the up button plus the two buttons all with your right hand (and your left hand handling forward) is 100% success rate. Granted, doing it the other way can also be 100% success rate, it's not that it's hard. But I find that every once in a while I'll got a missed input or accidently jumped instead of the command throw because I was hurried or a in a stressful situation. On the otherhand, it's almost impossible to get the timing wrong with right thumb on up, it's like your body just naturally knows to press all the buttons down at the exact same time every time without thinking about it.

@cosmogang

Have to respectfully disagree regarding the left thumb for jump. I dont see any benefit ysing the left thumb aand the right thumb feels far more intuitive. I believe that the right thumb feels better to me in this way, because with a liverless controller, I like to think of the up button as a "jump button" instead of a directional button. Therefore, a jump button would more logically be included in the roght hand action buttons and not the left side directional buttons. Also, I used to jump far too often using stick, and keeping with my roght hand is another way I can stop that bad habit. Anyway, to each his own, I wish you well on your leverless journey 😊

I find having my right index on light kick, middle on light punch and thumb on jump and pinkie on DI is the most comfortable and efficient in reaction time. The palm can hit the DP and you always have pretty decent time to change fingers to medium or high punch/kick during combo after hit confirm or similar.

Despite using a my right thumb for hitting spacebar on a keyboard, I find it much more natural to use my left thumb for jumping on the kitsune. The struggle for me is re-wiring my brain for the placement of the jump button. on a pad or stick, you press up to jump, but on the kitsune, having the jump button be lower than the duck button is very confusing at times. I wonder if theres any real drawbacks to just swapping those two buttons? use the thumb button to duck, and use the other button to jump. seems like it would feel a bit more natural... and you could still easily roll your index/ring fingers along with your thumb for quarter circle motions. I don't really want to try and get used to that though and then have it suck lol. I wonder if anyone has used a leverless like that for an extended period of time.

Same, getting used to that reverse direction mapping took me quite a while. Even now a couple months in, during full panic mode I might get duck and jump mixed. Although it is getting more and more rare so I have faith it will go away some time soon. There are some leverless controllers that have the jump button above the duck button (wsad layout) but I don't think I would like that personally. At the end of the day I try to remember that some top level players use some crazy layouts on a playstation pad and it works for them, so I must be able to get used to this jump layout on the Kitsune. I don't want to be the guinea pig for swapping jump and duck either lol!!!

I feel it's too weird to use right hand thumb for jump. It's more comfortable to me to use one hand to move and another for hit. I also don't feel good using DR on L2 and DI on R2. I tried though. Now I moved them on light punch light kick and pushed away the rest. It's more natural to me, since the 6 buttons are aligned in the same fashion as in a fighting stick.

Hi man, do you have any tip to buffer a cancel from a standing light to a super? (for exemple cammy from stand LK to her level 3, if i buff 236 before the first LK even if i delay it that will throw a spiral arrow, and if i try to do a double circle after the standing lk that seems impossible to cancel). Thank you for your answer.

@VidVayder

9 ай бұрын

I personally don’t use any tricks for this, after LK I do the first qcf lighting quick and the second qcf at a normal rhythm as though I want to cancel into hooligan. What can help is to make sure you’ve mastered the timing for the confirms (I assume you’re starting with LP, LP, LK for example). When you’re very comfortable with that, you just have to start your qcf x 2 at the earliest possible moment after you press LK. Don’t even wait for it to land, assume that your timing is on point. Other than that, here are some weird posture tips that help me with super tight timings: 1. Sit forward, maybe on the edge of your chair so your body is alert 2. Clench your butthole when doing the qcf x 2 (no joke!!!). Finally, if you want to buy yourself more time and you have some drive bar to spare, cancel the LK into drive rush, then crouching LP, standing HP, light spin knuckle then level 3. It does 3544 damage compared to 3900 (just LK into level 3) but it’s much easier to land if you have drive bar. FYI standing LP does 300 damage, so the difference isn’t huge.

3:55 it may be your way of playing and thats fine but generally i dont think this is good advice, as it is very limiting in fact. using the left thumb for jumping is much better than leaving it idle. jumping doesnt happen so often anyway and youll really need both hands in order to do divekicks and instant air legs/instant quarter circles in the air. I only use the right thumb if i am using a shortcut where i need to transform up into left or right while holding down (i see it then as part of my action input), but thats it. tldr why leave a finger idle? youre training your muscle memory already anyway, might just as well include your left finger in that training.

Fair enough if you feel better with the left thumb. I personally felt like my left hand in general was stiff because of the ‘stance’ from having my thumb over jump. Not saying it isn’t viable but for beginners trying the right thumb is worth it imo. I get what you’re saying about instant dive kicks but I don’t have an issue with it with right thumb as jump, personally. So it’s possible to train instant dives with the right thumb. Again not disagreeing with you but as a beginner to leverless and having tried both the right and left thumb for a couple of weeks each, it seems to me right thumb jumping is easier.

In my opinion no, because the spacing of the buttons adds to the precision. Also it’s easier to whack the buttons harder or press two/three at a time on a leverless arcade controller.

I use the top right button for Drive Impact. My pinky isn't strong, but it's strong enough lol. Regarding the jump throw, just try shifting your index finger down to the LK button and keep your middle finger on LP. I like to use my right thumb for jump, so that shift is way more natural and consistent than flexing your index finger weirdly and trying to cover both buttons for the throw like in the video. I happen to do parry manually, and to me the same index+middle finger position there is more natural than thumb. Also, I do play Cammy, and another tip I have is for dive kicks, you can just temporarily move your whole right hand down to the second row. That way you just jump (assuming right thumb again), then QCB and choose which kick to use. Obviously, it will ultimately come down to preference and you can adapt any which way, but especially for new leverless users, I'd say it's really important to play with different input method options as well as understanding the limitations of our hands/fingers due to anatomy. For example, don't try to practice getting faster at double QCB (1P side) using your middle and ring finger. Our fingers don't go in that direction so you'll have to find a workaround.

Everyone gets cooked online bro it feels like a completely different game sometimes with the added stress. Have to get battered to get better 😣 what you can try is to come away from a match with a positive lesson or learning. It could just be landing one of your combos a few times in the pressured environment. Good luck!

Hi, I play cammy and also have problems with jump when swapping to kitsune. I see a lot of people saying also saying to use right thumb but it seems so weird for instant dive kicks. The tiger knee motion also is very weird to me, i usually do manual. Any advice?

@VidVayder

9 ай бұрын

Tiger knee method works well with left thumb because you can do qcb and then press jump, forward and kick at the same time. Instant dive kick does take getting use to but it does get easier if you drill it with right thumb. Have you tried the tip regarding not resting your palms on the controller? Try going into lab and just seeing what feels better and make sure you’re focusing on accuracy first, the speed will follow when your fingers get more and more accurate. Tl;dr keep drilling bro!

@@VidVayder Hi, thanks for the reply, I’ll try these. With manual, I can weirdly do p1 divekick pretty naturally but p2 is inconsistent. I’m hesitant on going all in on tiger knee because I usually like to walk forward dive kick and wake up ex dive kick. How do you do these with tiger knee or do you switch to manual for those situations?

@VidVayder

9 ай бұрын

@@thejowhu The only time I ever used tiger knee method was when I had my left thumb as jump button. When I was playing on stick, and now with my right thumb as jump, I prefer to do dive kick the normal way. I find that doing the qcb before jumping adds a bit of delay to my intentions so I just got used to jumping and firing off the dive kick straight away. It sounds to me like you can do the qcb portion of the tiger knee method during the wake up though.

Bro, nothing to stress about 🙂 it will be fun! Some things will come naturally, other things you will need to lab and get used to. My situation could be different from yours, my friends are all at a high level and give no mercy despite my transition so in my case it was frustrating in that way, but you might have a different experience. Watch a few tutorial videos for shortcuts and things. It might even make you try new things. Example: SPD is soooo easy on leverless that i started playing and having fun with gief.

Massive issue for me at first too. No matter which choice you take I think you will get used to it eventually, but as a dive kick user I definitely think using the right thumb has its merits.

There is this strange thing happening with me. I can do better when im pressing buttons with point+middle fingers together and using just them. whenever i try to use my hand, placing all my fingers above the buttons(like piano), i have worst time doing combos. I feel like i dont have the same sync with my fingers as i have when i`m moving my wrist and pressing buttons with point+middle. Is it a case of just not enough practice?

@VidVayder

Ай бұрын

I would advise that you just keep doing what you’re doing if it works for you. If it stops working or if you feel like what you’re doing is limiting you, then that’s when you should consider alternative technique. A lot of high level and pro players use a similar technique as you when they are ‘plinking’ (google it). Don’t change what isn’t broken brother. If you’re comfy with your methods, keep perfecting it.
