There's showing a solution and THEN there's making you understand the problem so you know how/why you can solve it. "a little bit about the Nintendo version because it will help you understand the Xbox version" In this age of speedy quick bits, only people who care about you, will teach in this manner. 💜As always, thank you. You truly are a rare gem.💜

Hey bud, it's been a long time since our last chat hasn't it? I'm still rocking two Mayflash F500 sticks that I've modded with a both Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks and buttons, all info I got thanks to your older videos. Of course, that was a long time ago lol. Technically I can use either of those sticks on an Xbox by just plugging in a Magic Boots adapter, but seeing a dedicated stick for the Xbox as well as practical ways to swap parts for it is still nice. Might think about getting one to be honest, 8bitdo has been making some good arcade sticks recently. Either way, it is good to see you're still doing well and trying to make content. :)

@JoystickNY 3 ай бұрын

thank you my friend, really appreciate you, I think the two f500 are prob going to hold it down for a long time, if you don't need to, maybe see what else comes out for the future, unless you want wireless, it does come in handy sometimes without the wires

@liamconverse8950 Ай бұрын

I've read that the pcb in the mayflash adds more input lag than other sticks, same with the 8bitdo arcade stick for switch. But the older 8bitdo N30 doesn't. I haven't seen any testing done on this particular one though.

@SkyScourgeGod Ай бұрын

@@liamconverse8950 It originally did, but Mayflash has had several updates to reduce the lag to near zero. You can see it on their updates page for their products. Even so, a stock unit doesn't really have much lag to begin with. People just point it out stuff like that a lot because they think it's a huge enough deal without doing any research or just want to blame something other than themselves for sucking lol. You can even see JoystickNY himself using a Mayflash stick in one of his older videos and he plays just fine with it.

@liamconverse8950 Ай бұрын

@@SkyScourgeGod Yeah I don't think it's very easy to tell, but if you combine that with potential display lag in any lag inherit to the game itself it can definitely add up to make a difference. I was just looking at this docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KlRObr3Be4zLch7Zyqg6qCJzGuhyGmXaOIUrpfncXIM/edit?usp=drivesdk which has a lot of data on this and expresses the lag in terms of the percentage chance of the input registering on the same frame as the button was pressed which is interesting. Say for example you're trying to practice parrying Chun-Li's super in 3rd strike, then I would say this sort of thing actually does matter

A used hori rap4 is about 50 bucks so you get your money's worth If you wanna invest more 150 dollars can get you second hand premium sticks But overall the hori stixk alpha is good plus tye price is reasonable But if you want swicth and xbox compatibility Just buy the 8bitdo
