What's the fastest way to swap controls during practice?
Please tell me there's a hotkey or a quicker way to take control of the opponent than recording an opponent action?

▲ 1 r/Tekken
After months at a Battle Ruler/Fujin I shot to Tekken King in 5 hours.
Two 9 win streaks and for the first time I beat a Tekken King, then another, then another, and now I am one. Inflation or not I was hard stuck yesterday getting smoked by other Fujin more than half the time.
Here's what clicked:
I got more aggressive with the power crush, I don't care if it's toxic anymore, it works and I have a good instinct with it.
I stopped whiffing into nothing to "do keep out".
Started spamming moves that were working and didn't stop until they stopped working. Don't assume they're going to adapt or even understand what they're getting launched.
Stopped panicking with the rage art, way more accurate with the counter hit rage now.
Stopped hoping for scenarios to work out and started playing what was happening in the moment and predicting based on patterns I've actually seen.
5a. No more random "duck and launch" until I SEE jab spam is happening
5b. No more 20f moves at range 0 because I was going to do it before they got close, just move on.
5c. No random mashing while under pressure, eat the lows and hold back
Started using command throws, they're just.. better.
I simply recognize the characters better. Frame trap the fujin Eddy, let the Law whiff, duck and launch King/Steve/Victor, evasion then counter hit the fujin Kazuya because he can't stop dashing
Much better execution on the stace pressure sequences I labbed and better understanding of each ones purpose and when to use them

Can I get some help with this?
I used Gemini for ideas for my Quanba Sapphire and I really like this design.
My plan is to use this version of The Great Wave with the textile clouds and indigo stripe, go with the wood border and make the movement, main attack and auxiliary buttons different woodblock color patterns. Probably red for movement, blue for the main 4-8 and gold for the others. I also like the gold for the button labels
The problem is that AI can't possibly handle this task. It won't even give me a high quality version of the center artwork without cutting out the buttons, changing the colors etc.
Here's what I need:
A way to extract or recreate this center artwork with gold blue and red pattern clouds and the indigo top stripe (and possibly one on the bottom?)
Clean images of the same three cloud patterns to use for the buttons.
I'm sure I could Photoshop the gold icons beside the buttons.
I feel like this is very doable, but man am I out of my league when it comes to getting a clean image of the wave and clouds.
I don't love using AI art, but because it's an AI assisted rendition of an existing artwork I'm fine with it on an integrity level, however I feel like in a few months I'll notice some artifact in the image. With some careful trimming I'm sure I could recreate it using a high quality image of the wave, then add a background vector? I'm probably going to be unable to make the clouds look right though.
I'd appreciate any advice or assistance!

Can I get some help picking out my first stick?
My budget is $150 and I'm on PS5, I intend to use it for Tekken. If the controller needs an adapter that needs to be part of the $150 budget
I'm interested in either a leverless or a Korean lever (Because I hear it's good for KBD and seems more fun, but my main goal is to improve in skill). Leaning towards leverless. I intend to use it in my lap. I might not want something too light? But something sufficiently heavy might go over budget
If I had to choose now I'd pick a Haute42 T16 but I'm open to input from the community based on what I'm looking for. Thanks guys!

▲ 4 r/OCD
I have OCD and two debilitating phobias: agoraphobia and fear of medication and contamination from unfamiliar chemicals/substances. I won't even take a vitamin, and have several deficiencies I'm not treating because of this lifelong phobia.
I haven't left the house more than twice this entire year. I get very confused and disoriented when things move out of place or my environment is unfamiliar. When I deep clean (which is very often) I have to do it one area at a time and have rituals I follow because I can't handle the furniture being moved. I feel like I'm in a dream and disturbed until it's all back.
I just spent five days in the hospital an hour away (specialty hospital) which is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do, and the longest time I've been away from home in 3 years. I was ordered to go two weeks ago but put it off and continued declining because I couldn't tolerate leaving the house.
The entire time I was in the hospital I felt like nothing was real and I was just in a dream. I had to spend two days in a public setting basically in a hallway with 10 other people outside the ER until a room opened up, then had a roommate who was confused and would aggressively yell randomly. He was also incontinent which definitely was a bad match for me.
I was given 8 medications including IV contrast (iykyk) which was pure terror for me. I've had a gun pointed at me in the past and this was still the worst thing I've ever gone through. I held on because I was certain that soon I would be back home and this might even be good exposure therapy in the long run.
When I got home my bedroom was completely empty, floor torn up and changed etc. and everyone was smiling like I was supposed to be happy. I had a complete meltdown and now everyone is mad at me. I literally don't know what to do, I feel like I want to hurt myself. I told everyone on the way back that I've never wanted to go home so bad in my entire life and cried the whole car ride. Now home is gone forever. I feel like I haven't left the hospital and I never will.

After attempting Honeybottoms for 2 hours I looked around the room and everything was scrolling up. It seems like this is what's called the "Waterfall Illusion" and happens after staring at a down-scrolling scene for an extended period.
Does anyone else remember this happening to them? It was super trippy.
