this looks wildly uncanny and very good fun

I just ordered this mid-end hitbox clone
As compared to the authentic hitbox it has a few extra up and down buttons for when it feels weird for up to be low (e.g. menus) and because it’s not going super cheap it uses proper Sanwa buttons
For me it’s less about ergonomics than because I learned to play fighting games on One Must Fall 2097 and I still can’t dragon punch more than 30% of the time on a controller or joystick whereas I find it trivial on keyboard

That looks nice! Good price too.
Is there a Hitbox clone yet that has confirmed PS5 support + PC? Because I’d buy that in a heartbeat

Nope. All they promise is that PS4 games emulated on PS5 will work
So I just bought the cheaper pure PC version
For fucks sake… Is this all Sony’s fault? I bet it is!
I’m thinking if I really want to play Strive in addition to VF (which I can only play for around an hour a day before my brain is fried anyway) I might play it on PS5 even though everyone on here is on PC. I’m slowly turning into a console player because my sitting arrangement is better that way. I could install the PS4 version then and be fine but come on, I don’t have a PS5 for nothing.

it is indeed, sony is deliberately making third party peripherals not work on the PS5. everyone making fighting game stuff is waiting on brooks to do a workaround, which they’re apparently struggling with. you won’t find anything currently on the market that works with PS5 in PS5 mode.

The prototype seems promising. Brook really are the best at this stuff aren’t they?

So if I get this
Does that have the “universal board” that I need to use the PS5 addon in the future? It just says Brook fighting board…
that doesn’t have a universal board, no. idk if this will only work with the universal board though. anything that has the universal board will generally be very eager to tell you that, since it costs quite a bit more. they’d at least advertise switch support

The Brook Universal Board is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made.
Though if you wanna do PS5 stuff…eh!! Probably not for you right now.
But I never wanna play a fighter on console again if I don’t have to. Comfort is always a priority but Strive is yet another FG where the PC version has less input lag and I am going to take that over anything else cuz…it feels good.
Maybe PS5 games have less latency though I dunno I’ll probably never own one even though I definitely deserve one

Thanks. I think I’ll just go for it and buy that thing. I’m tired of accidentally hitting up when I do back forward!
I get that. I’m still torn between PC and PS for Strive. I don’t think I’ll notice the input lag because I’m not a machine like you guys but sure it’s a concern. I hate that the (pirated) PC version drops down to 40 frames every time the bird soars before a match even though my PC is blazing fast and I installed the game on my SSD. If stuff like that is even worse on console I’ll for sure prefer PC.
If only the HDMI ports of my TV were on the other side it wouldn’t be such a pain to hook up my PC but as it is I need to move my whole machine halfway across the room and that is just not feasible, moving it back and forth every day. First World problems, I know. Maybe I can get a 3+m HDMI cable

I do think input lag is more noticeable than most people realize but there will likely be a larger player base on console and it’ll definitely be the tournament standard so those are big upsides.
I suspect online tourneys will be the norm for awhile longer and thankfully Strive’s netcode is good enough that they won’t be completely fraudulent. Maybe you’re not interested in that but…they tend to be fun, I think everyone should enter a tournament if they really love a game, even going 0-2 can be fun, this is totally off topic so I dunno why I’m saying it
My framerate doesn’t dip during the load screen so I wonder if that’s just some issue with the pirated version or a bug or what

it took quite a ways into the PS4 lifespan until third party controller support was as decent as it was on PS3 (I still remember being surprised that most dinput devices largely worked plug and play, that was a big part of what made the console version of diablo 3 a strange treat), I imagine they’ll get there
even on switch almost nothing works but between 8bitdo and the gamecube adapter for the wii u there’s enough stuff that’s cheap and appealing that the situation seems acceptable
I think my Brook board has always worked with Switch! And that’s the only thing that matters. Having that fat stick in your lap as you play some not-ideal port of Neo Turf Masters…that’s the life. That’s something I only did, like, twice. But it felt kinda good. Felt like I kinda got one over on Nintendo.
Only good thing about the PS3 aside from Demon’s Souls was being able to plug in my pink USB Saturn pad and it just worked.
