Guilty Gear Strive True Beginner Guide, Button Settings, and Basic Tutorial 

Thank you so much!

Still a good thought! I'll try it out and see how it feels, thanks!

@@kingterrible6470 Np! Thanks for the vid.

@@jaybeam1466 Follow up question, out of curiosity why don't you use the RC button?

@@kingterrible6470 Sorry for the late response. I try to avoid L1 and L2 on sticks because of their positioning. They often require pinky or ring finger presses to hit reliably because of how far away they are. Some locals and tourneys also have weird rules about 8 button sticks. Kind of dumb considering most of them also allow hitboxes, but that's another topic altogether. I hope this provided the insight you were looking for. It's mostly a preference thing, so I wouldn't worry about it too much if you're used to your setup. If you do choose to go this route, I'd still recommend using the dash button. That thing fucking rules.

@@jaybeam1466 No worries! Thanks for the insight that's exactly what I was looking for!

Nice! Did you set a button for the Burst or Roman cancel macro or do you always perform the input?

For me, the arcade stick is much more comfortable. I have had no more thumb pain since making the switch! As far as my inputs go, I feel that switching to stick has definitely helped me hit special moves more consistently! It takes a while to train your muscle memory, but for me it has been worth it!

A few cons to the arcade stick, my movement seems slower since I have to move my arm/wrist in a larger motion for jumping/dashing etc instead of the shorter thumb motions (the dash button helps counteract this though). Also, I have a harder time doing specials for "charge" characters (Leo and May in GGST), so I need to practice those a bit more on stick.

You probably blew the springs out like my ex wife

You can assign any action to any button in the controll options.

Bind the right side buttons to UIOP and JKL; and for movement you can copy leverless arcade controllers with left/down/right on either ASD or SDF depending on your preference and then put up on the spacebar. Just copy an arcade controller's button layout to those keyboard positions.

@@SoundToxin i got it, thank you for the tip.

​@@SoundToxin Or for movement you can use QWD too (Q for left, W for down and D for right) for jump/up you can choose use Space or E button.
