I've been complaining about this all week because the shield even appears and I get counter hit

I actually saw that Dog V-Tuber on twitch doing this last week. He has the stick inputs on his screen and I noticed every wake up he was holding 2 buttons and since then I've been trying to implement it too.

I also came up with this method of preventing the kara FD counter hit after getting sick of it. Unfortunately my fingers refuse to do it in the heat of battle and I get counter hit anyway, lol.

I think a victrix/dual sense edge review from a top level player would be very beneficial for the pad players who play this game

To this day, I'm still trying to unlearn the habit of tapping FD in blockstrings to conserve some meter (and start tapping down-back instead). In +R it's really easy because you can just use the RC macro for FD. In Xrd there's YRC, so I got used to an FD macro instead. And then Strive took it away for a long time, and just I replaced it with the dash macro. Now there's 3 macros and 5 buttons, so it's getting kind of uncomfortable on keyboard, and I haven't found a new button layout yet.

With so many button shortcuts already in the game before FD, I didn't even bother to try to get used to one more.

windows keeps fucking around with my microphone amp behind my back im sorry

Nice info, I had been getting frustrated with this same issue. Thank you.

Yeah I noticed this first time when instead of ibfd I was getting ib all the time. Holding 2 buttons before wakeup or during true blockstring was a saving grace

FD macro is also a pain on my shiokenstar style mixbox. Kinda regretting going for the 24mm button layout now, it's harder to accidentally hit other buttons with the 30mm ones, but also harder to get mileage out of stuff by my right pinkie XD

i use a hori fight commander and I do have two buttons free to potentially FD macro, but just don't like how it feels. so I still use the old way and I still get counter hit for kara FD, but maybe now I'll try just holding the button to reduce the chances it happens.

I would love to see a review of the victrix controller as well as that new playstion controller too

With the Vitrix controller review, i personally would love to know how you feel about the dpad and how easy, tough, or squishy the conductive rubber feels underneath the pad. I've developed a MEAN callus on my left thumb playing +R on 3 HORIs the past 2 years and am in desperate need of a dpad upgrade.

informative vid. Looking forward to that pad review. I'm also maining pad

Thank you Daisuke

Ok fd macro is cool but i'll have to learn it and unlearn another one since my controller is full of buttons and i'm not removing my taunt button

_premium_ hotashi content 👌✨️

Back buttons for my DS4 were the best thing I bought all around. Back buttons should be the standard. My only question with most Controller reviews is how good the Dpads are.

I just use left trigger for burst (can't really press anything else at that time) And press in right stick for fd macro

I'm guessing the input bug also happens on arcade sticks and hitboxes right? I havent set a macro FD on my snackbox so I guess I so start learn to pressing the 2 buttons first then downback.

HOTASHI, THANK YOU!!!

I FD with R2 nd i have no RC button cuz it’s easier to just hit 3 buttons and i use L1 to dash cuz charge inputs become second nature that way

I suffered this issue way back in s1 and still wondering why it hasn't been fixed. I have my fd macro set to L3, since I use the analog stick on pad, as to keep my bumpers freed up for dash and rc macro.

You've saved my life, thank you

I naturally hold my controller with my fingers on the triggers on Xbox. Switched to PS5. LT feels fun for FD imo

thank you

As a pot player, i've been complaining about the input detection/buffer in this game since it came out. I think it's horrible. It often doesn't detect a lot of inputs, or if it does get them, they don't result in the character behavior. Often when doing a pot buster (HCB>FWD), i get FMF...which means it missed half of the inputs entered. i could go on and on... but i wish they'd fix this soon.

I'm genuinely wondering how the messed up the input reader to kara FD so often when we never had this issue previously in XX or Xrd.

Happens to the best of us If you play on PC (or plan to play on xbox) and have an elite style controller (the ones with back paddles) binding L2/L1 to the left paddles is very comfortable. It is probably even more comfortable then using FD macro on stick/hitbox because you don't have to move your fingers around. Also if you don't play FPS games then they are a very good purchase (ironically better because if you play FPS you are far more likely to encounter stick drift and your controller just becomes a cosumable item, which doesn't happens if you play FG (uses pad) or other games (no intense stick movement))

What I look for In a review for controllers are durability and longevity. I run through controllers with my stupid hands that think if I press harder I'll attack or block harder

I played on an xbox 360 controller and used fd on RT and rc on LT and liked it, idk what that is for playstation though.

F to hotashi but GOD MFIN DAAAAMN that purple sol color is sick

I thought whenever you fd with momentum it was karaing into fd

i have the same problem using L2 but i think i figured out a way to use it. if i just hold L2 and press back as needed i'm gucci and then i can just let go when i'm on offense, granted it takes time getting used to but it's better than nothing i guess lol

how is L2 not ergonomic to press as a pad player

soll grabbed me when he is in hitstun

i do not have this issue but i will use your wisdom sir

I don't have any free buttons left on my xbox pad :(

looking forward to when back buttons become standard on controllers lol

wait thats a bug? i thought i was just miss inputting? far out. what's happening?

As a controller player, I switched my dash button to top right bumper and my FD bind to clicking in the stick. It has never failed me.

Glad people are talking about the input reader in this game. Shit is dogwater. Constantly misinterpreting, or just flat out not resulting in character action when in older GGs my inputs always felt like I was inputting them. REALLY hope more people bring it up because its a big reason why I stopped playing

Very nice video

LT for the FD macro?... yeah not while blocking. I use LT for RC macro anyways. With the Dash macro it made it really easy to learn drift RC. I probably don't need it now but I am used to it and I don't see any downside.

I don't have to not use the FD macro in order to not FD if that makes sense

is there any problem if I just macro fd using controller? I'm pretty new to the game and I always macro fd.

The guilty gear way has been RC on L1? Here I am since Strive launch with Dash on L1 and RC on R2

Huh i actually have the reverse opinion on L1 and L2, i feel sluggish pressing L1

MY HERO

The music lmao

Maybe someday I’ll use the fd micro.

Theres a macro button???

Dash macro on R2? Am I missing something or does nago not have any use for that at all?

I didn’t use the macro button, so i clicked on the video

Bless You

Best way I found for using the FD macro on was on R2. I then use RC macro on L2 and dash macro on L1. Originally I had RC and dash macros there because it made drift RC easier, but it also freed up a space for the FD macro in a place that is surprisingly acceptable.

dude, i cannot put more actions on the arcade, anyway maybe that just happend in controller, i never had a problem with S+H FD on my arcade so far (yeah, i use big buttons to FD, sue me)

you play on pad without an fd macro? guh???

ergonomic*

No joke I’m a weirdo who uses the stick on a pad instead of the D-pad and using the FD macro on L3 is perfect.

I use the macro and I still clicked, just in case

Me who plays on Keyboard - UNLIMITED POWER!

Why learn a 6th button when 5 does the job?

i really want to see that opinion video on the victrix controller. but you dont have other reviews to draw from. it would probably be more informative if you just played with it for a bit and sort of talk about things that matter to you as they come up. since you as a player and the things youre trying to do in game are the only real reference point for people in this case.

TIL that I'm a criminal for using RC on L2

Rc goes on r1

I do not in fact use the fd macro

I remember when I was learning Brisket and Happy Chaos made me actually use the FD macro because of that very issue when trying to get space. Then I moved to Potemkin and now I just armour through that nonsense so have fallen out of the habit. Not incorporating FD into my arsenal is one of my current weaknesses. The habit is just not settled

Get counter hit all the time when manual FD, still doesn't learn

i dont use any macros whatsoever, i am all about those buttons, even pressing pkh to RC

I dont use macros and its fucking agony

I will say that viper that goes from red to blue is pretty nasty.

classic arc logic. We dont fix input buffer we just give you fd micro

Well at least I can say I play just like hotashi

"L2 is not ergonomic to press when you're a pad player" ????? Eggsplain?

OMG this is genious hahahah

haha are you saying "aerodynamic"? There's an adjective for what you're trying to describe: ""ergonomic".

Wait, they CAN'T fix it? I thought I was going crazy and maybe I piano'd it but its just literally a fucking bug?

@ the person in chat saying "and are the hotashi fangirls here now?" -- hi it's me I'm the hotashi fangirl. excellent video tyty
