Fighting Game Hardware Analyst at Gamepad Tester
Tests fightsticks and hitboxes for execution-window errors and conflicting inputs.
Matheus analyses hardware for the fighting game community, where a few milliseconds and a single simultaneous-input conflict decide whether a combo comes out. He tests arcade fightsticks, leverless hitbox-style controllers and custom builds for execution window errors, SOCD conflicts, missed simultaneous presses and the button-rollover limits that only appear under fast input.
On Gamepad Tester he answers the questions about fightsticks and leverless pads, and the ones where a controller tests perfectly but still drops inputs in a game.
