There are some durability issues with the Playstation 4 controller, and KS Tali provides the solution

People who have gone through a few PlayStation 4 controllers while trying to level up their game can certainly understand the frustration of having to buy pricey Dual Shock 4 controllers on a regular basis. The controller certainly has some durability issues, and the culprit seems to lie in the build on their directional pad.

As KS Tali noticed when he cracked open his controller, he found that there were key difference in the build between the PS3 and PS4 directional pads. While the PS4 pad has small holes for the rubber contact sheet to fit into — making them more stable within the casing — there are issues with perforation around the contacts that cause them to fall apart quickly. His solution was to line up a PS4 contact sheet with a PS3 contact sheet, poke the required holes into the PS3 contact sheet, and place that into his PS4 controller — thus making his PS4 controller much more durable.

Pictures showing the differences are shown below.

S.T.L.’s latest Tekken 7 combo video shows cross-ups mid juggle, back turn shenanigans, Lee buffs, and more!

There’s few combo makers in the Tekken community with the skill to manipulate side and back turned states quite like S.T.L. Their latest combo video is the strongest case yet for the creativity allowed in Tekken’s free-form juggle system: it’s impractical, technical, and flashy as hell.

Fans of Master Raven, Nina, Heihachi, Bryan, Akuma, and Lars will be pleased to see some re-wall splats and cross unders for their favorite characters. We also get to see S.T.L.’s hand with the recently buffed Lee Chaolan, in the form of his larger B+2 hitboxs and reduced push out on 4,U+3 mid juggle.
