It is a great game, wish the 2 player co-op was more like Pikmin 3 Deluxe though.

PS. Also that drawing’s awesome 😎

I didn't realise it had already been released. Definitely getting the game ASAP. The couch coop of the last game was great, hopefully it'll be the same/similar for this one

msprout,

Yes, it’s great for coop this time around!

Thanks for letting me know, can't wait to play it!

AlolanYoda,

It absolutely is not! They removed the split screen coop that was in Pikmin 3 and replaced it with Player 2 being able to point at the screen and shoot pebbles to hurt enemies and stuff.

Great game, but couch coop suffered from 3 to 4!

Oh that's a shame, it was great being able to split tasks between 2 of you

DaughterOfMars, do gaming w Elden Ring Tarot - VIII - Strength
@DaughterOfMars@beehaw.org avatar

This is really cool! But – and I mean no disrespect – it’s not really Tarot (or at least not the Major Arcana). Tarot is about symbology, whereas these cards are akin to the Minor Arcana royalty – Page, Knight, Queen, and King. The art of the Major Arcana is specifically designed to contain certain symbols which can be used for readings. Of course, there are plenty of decks out there that do not conform to this, but they aren’t particularly useful as Tarot. It would be really cool to recreate this symbology as Major Arcana cards in the context in Elden Ring though!

@ArtZuron@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah, no worries! It’s not like I’m trying to really make a proper tarot card deck after all, as I am no mystic! I used the symbolism of the characters own stories to determine which cards I wanted to use. Some of them were a bit of a challenge of course!

Me? I’m missing 4-player Commander games in MTGO and cursing the current hyper-monetary practices of Wizards of the Coast, especially in the last few years.

This has been a project I’ve always wanted to do! Yours looks great!

MilliaStrange,

Thank you ☺️

doyoulikemyparka, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

Woah this looks amazing. Now I have a new project to add to the list! Got any videos of it in use? How does it feel? Did you document the build process?

Damn you for opening up these possibilities!

MilliaStrange,

I don’t have videos yet, but I’ll post something soon!

It feels awesome. The action buttons have a great feel that’s between clicky and mushy and they don’t make a ton of noise when I mash them.

This was my first experience with a Korean lever. The stick actuator pushes on a silicone grommet which pushes the four directional switches. The result is it feels like the gate is a big circle while I still hear a click confirming when I press or release a direction. I find this makes special move inputs easier. The caveats are you need an adapter for the cables to work with a Japanese style stick, (which I bought with my joystick for an extra buck) and you need a 35mm hole for the “collar” and horizontal holes drilled in the mounting plate to accomodate. Fortunately Eternal Rival took care of all of that when I put my order for the kit together.

Here’s the build manual from Eternal Rival which should explain how it all goes together

unce, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

Hellyeah nice! I’ve been thinking about building one too. I had been using an xbox controller for fighters but borrowed my friends hitbox for a bit and don’t wanna go back. Can’t really justify spending like $250 on one though. I think I can build on for about $50 if I use an old cigar box for the case.

How do you like those buttons? I’ve been told to get Sanwa buttons but I really don’t know much about them.

MilliaStrange,

I like them a lot. Good action but not a lot of noise when I mash them, which was why I picked them (as well as for the look). Sanwa Denshi buttons are the gold standard, they’re installed in the classic MadCatz fightsticks and they’re pretty affordable. The Gravity buttons were about twice as much but they have got swappable switches for extra customization and I like the feel. I don’t think you can lose either way!

Whom,

Sanwa are the default for Japanese-style buttons, and they’re the most common at all levels of play. If you don’t know what you want, they’re probably the best place to start and with how modular sticks and hitbox-style controllers are, you can always change down the line if you find that you have different preferences. Personally, I find Sanwas just a bit too light for me since they’ll accidentally actuate if you brush up against them. It makes it difficult to rest your fingers on the buttons and it’s a bit harder to “ride” the actuation point, if you’re the kind to do that.

Whom, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

That’s so sick!! I just built this leverless in a modular 3D printed case for SF6 and Skullgirls :) Currently experimenting with the buttons but I really love Crown 202s

Hope you’re enjoying EVO if you’re watching!!

Two great choices for fighting games. Do you hit up Mix Masters tourneys?

MilliaStrange,

I’ve never played in an event like that but I’d really like to :D

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

Mix Masters Online runs Skullgirls every Thursday for NA (other regions will have their own online tourneys). Plus there are beginner brackets, Discords where you can ping beginner roles, danisen leagues, and whatnot for every level of play.

MilliaStrange,

I’ll check it out :D

Whom,

That seems fun! I’ve mostly been playing in beginner/intermediate brackets in this trans fighting game Discord server I’m part of. I have a lot of hours in this game but I never took learning all that seriously until recently.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I'll take this opportunity to plug my YouTube channel, primarily because it will get you up to speed in Skullgirls much more quickly than it took me. There's the primer video here, and you can watch the combo video after that.

MilliaStrange,

Yeah the turnout is crazy! I caught a little, got to see MenaRD pick up some ez perfects lol.

Nice weapon you got there 🤤

chunktoplane, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

Looks great! I built a controller recently too, just wanted to mention that I used the open source GP2040-CE on a Raspberry Pi Pico and it works great, it involved a bit of soldering wires with different connectors together, but there are now custom RP2040 controller boards that can run it and are plug-and-play.

MilliaStrange,

Sick! Fortunately I didn’t have to solder at all for this build 😅

Whom,

My build was around one of those custom boards, so no soldering for me. It’s perfect for me since I play on PC only and the web configurator is really nice to have for easy SOCD cleaning functionality swaps for different games. I’ll need a Brook adapter if I ever find and go to locals, but I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.

Nyla_Smokeyface, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

I have one of those, except it can play other old retro games too!

MilliaStrange,

Mine can too! On emulators lol

TheyHaveNoName, do gaming w I built a fightstick!

I’ve wanted to make one of these for my Switch. Could anybody help me get started? Can I build it from scratch or would I be buying a kit?

MilliaStrange,

I got an enclosure kit from here with a multiconsole PCB (brain for controller). I did research on what buttons and joystick I wanted and ordered them from focusattack and arcadeshock. I liked that I didn’t have to solder everything and they gave me a useful guide for how to set everything up. I linked a build manual in another comment.

But you don’t have to go that way! Depending on your patience and engineering skills you could make a controller out of nearly everything. You could get a cheap PCB from a working controller from a game system you like and a joystick and or some buttons and stick them in an Amazon box if you wanted!

Or, you could do what my buddy did and pick up a kool-aid covered broken street fighter 4 stick off the street, clean it out, and put a new board and joystick in it! It’s up to youuu

TheyHaveNoName,

Thanks for the reply. I’m going to go the route of reworking an existing controller and seeing if I can make a double joystick controller.

MilliaStrange,

That’s exciting! I hope you’ll share your work!

But do you really wanna miss out on those sweet Twitch drops? /s

sci,

then id first need to make a twitch account

Kbin_space_program,

Also it's tied to their cross save functionality.

Stillhart,

Cross save would be great if we didn’t have to pay again to play on different platforms. Until then, cross-save is a “feature” that looks good on paper but it effectively worthless in practice.

Kbin_space_program,

Yeah. It was legit useful for Divinity OS2, as the switch legit couldn't handle a game where you did everything, picked up PC version from a steam sale and finished the save.

I am an idiot. I didn’t click to the next page after it suggested I make an account.

I just close down the launcher immediately.

CraigeryTheKid,

nah, asking the question still gave us the ‘skip launcher’ instructions, so this is a win!

Thanks for making me feel slightly better about it. ;)

I had the same issue. Feels a bit shady to make people click Get Started anyway, but at least the launcher is skippable entirely.

I’ve just kinda gotten used to there not being an easy way around it. Hence my ‘Going Straight to the Forums’ reaction.
