Pretty much, when I was playing zelgadis in pools, I had a 3-stock lead in the last match but then I was suddenly missing L-cancels while he was camping the ledge, then I got b-throw -> shined 3 times. It also wouldn't full-shield after the set when I tried it out (because I thought it was just me messing up). I forfeited to Raynex because he somehow ended up in my pool and I couldn't use any of the controllers that people lent to me. Then I forfeited to the rest of my pool. I'm so glad that I played azen before the controller broke though. I almost took the first game off him.

So, after we got back to Canada, I opened it up and the black part that the button is attached to (with the spring around it) literally came out in 3 pieces. I was like "oh. That's why....."

i have some really broken in control sticks, but i feel like i have less control with them

im also not max technical or anything, but mine generally get loose around the middle as they get loose elsewhere and that makes stuff less precise

i cant short hop with the stick on my controller anymore, and thats normally how i always did shdl with fox

a "fox controller' would be optimized to the player and i dont think you could have a universally good controller that all fox mains like because it really depends on what sorts of Techniques you pirze more highly. Stiff sticks are better for jumping/vertical movement but loosesticks are better for horizontal movement. obiously a middle ground stick would be awesome, but if i had to choose i'd rather take a stiffer stick cuz i joystick jump for all sorts of stuff and i HATE gttign stuck in shines because the controller doesnt register my jumps.

Im the opposite i like the feeling of a new controller. Mostly the joystick... i feel like when i have a controller thats really worked in i tend to get lazy with my inputs, or i tend to put them into fast... but with a newer controller i seem to have better control with my inputs...

Top fox probably Jman...
Favorite fox Raynex

Gotta have a decent controller in order to play spacies. If you don't have a great controller, you can always camp with bairs though :)

Jman is getting beast. I.B. and I were talking about how much he's improved last night. Check out his friendlies vs. Darkrain from Pound 4. I specifically recommend match 2.

PC still has his magic. He beat me in a very close GF's set a few weekends ago. You guys should checkout the vids. They are in the video thread section. He's too good at tech chasing lol.

Oh wow I never thought mango's fox was anything special...

But those armada friendlies were pretty hot. Mango was putting some crazy shield pressure on him. I guess his Fox is pretty beastly judging by those vids lol.

I still think Colbol has the most control and pure potential. He just does really risky **** which can turn bad and sometimes he chokes under pressure. Players like PC and Jman are probably more consistent.

sorry but mango has the best fox and if you disagree you are dumb as a post.

Nah I think you're dumb as a post. Mango could have the best fox. But how could any of us possibly know that until he starts going all Fox in tourney. It's all speculation until then.

After watching mango' s fox vs armada I considered his fox best.
Then I saw his fox get ***** by hbox.
For now I'll just say the top foxes are really good, but we can't say who the best is.
If a fox ever beats mango's puff, he can take that title.

Jman is like a Darkrain. Simple (in the best way possible) / beat down.
Lucky is like a Hax. Weird movement / weird overall.
m2k is like a SS. Overall pretty defensive but confident as **** when necessary.
Mango is like a Scar. Aggressive all the time and does weird **** and somehow makes it work.

I'm like a runner. I run.
