I play on a pad but I can’t play Vergil or Zero because of the charging moves where you have to keep a button held. It’s just too hard to hit anything else. So I generally don’t play them, or when I do I just don’t use those moves, which sucks and goes back to why I don’t play them.
For everyone else tho, it’s 100% fine. I have no problems.
p.s.
I also have this problem in SF4 playing Juri. Keeping buttons held down while playing sucks on a pad so I don’t play her.
Ephidel, I don’t, but I would. Do you know where I can buy one? And how do I make it work with the PS3?
Make LT or L2 w/e it is Jab. I play(ed?) Vergil as well on a pad and its extremely easy to charge once you do it like that. Same goes for Zero but I heard at least charge button switching is way harder on a pad. I got a stick now though, and gddamnnnn…why have I waited so long. Pad = faster blocking/reactions for now tho
I actually plink dash backwards. My R1 is the dash button and i just alternate R1 and O really quickly, it’s consistent enough for me
I use DS3 for Marvel. I refrain from using the L3 and R3 as it seems awkward for me.
I play on a DS3. D-Pad, for what it’s worth. Some of my nightly crew use analog. There doesn’t seem to be a great skill difference based on that alone. The guys from across the water SMASH us, though, and they all use stick. I don’t think it’s the stick alone - But it helps. Anyone here use X-Arcade? I got one for MAME nearly a decade ago, but I remember it being comfortable and responsive. I’m worried about input lag through the converter box, though…
I use the standard dual shock controller that comes with the PS3. My button config is pretty much the preset config. Though I don’t like using buttons as short-cuts, I assign light to a shoulder button for charge moves (busters)-
Square- L
Triangle- M
Circle- H
X- S
L1- Assist 1
R1 -Assist 2
L2- L
The only thing that seems beyond my means is the backwards wave-dash. On Xbox I use a PS2 pad via converter, with the same button set-up.
Though this wasn’t a pad vs stick debate thread, it would seem that plink dashing is easier on stick as you can use multiple fingers to press buttons as opposed to just a thumb with my button configuration. The only real advantage I think stick players have over pad players are the fact that while standard ps pads and standard xbox pads are different, sticks are generally the same. So you only have to worry about its compatibility, as opposed to trying to find a converter or universal controller for pads.
Hi!! Ive been gaming Umvc3 on the Ps vita for about 8 months and im so used to the controller.I got the ps3 version recently and I cant do anything online, The analog sticks are way to big. Fighting sticks are out of the question. I am looking for a controller that would have smaller analog sticks, and maybe the buttons closer together (but that doesn’t really bother me too much).
Ive tried using the ultimate controller (use the vita as a controller) but it connects through the internet causing input lag, and since I main dante its really hard for me to time anything due to this.
I had a TE Madcatz fightstick and I stick with the Control Pad because I feel more in control of the pad.The fightstick was amazing but it just felt weird for me to have something super big sitting on my leg and I felt like I was a lot slower on the fight stick.
I’m not sure about the modern games, but sfa3 on my DS3 is near impossible.
Charge,grapplers, or any character with specific 1 frame links are out of the question. I feel I had a stick I would be able to execute easier, but hopefully when I pickup ssfiv I can use ibuki, fuerte, hawk, cammy, and guy without any problems, or else I’m going to be waiting a while before I can actually play.
It’s preference is some games more than others and is character dependant! I want to play Zero, he is my favorite chracter,but alas charging constantly and lightning loops is just out of its league.

<br>Disagree… I would almost say ‘wrong’ but it’s an opinion so I won’t go to that extent lol…<br><br>But nah, you can do everything you said it just depends on your button configuration. I set L2 to light so that I can always charge. And I can t’k easily on pad so pad does not stop me from looping at all.
With the DS3, Whenever I try to enter flight mode during an air combo, I end up doing the TAC exchange (or whatever you call air combo teammate exchange instead).
The DS3 is not ideal for fighting games. Half circle motions and super jumping is not always responsive. Holding onto an assist button will perform an assist instead of switching out, although lag might have something to do with that.
The Dreamcast controller was terrific for fighting games. If it had 6 buttons or two two more triggers on top, it would be almost perfect.
I do fly combos all the time on a ps2 pad without accidental tac’s, for me it’s fine.
on the other hand, the 360 d-pad can burn in hell.
I bought a PS2 pad converter for Xbox when I started competing. But unfortunately it seems to lag with their upgraded XBoxes.
But yeah, playing with an XBox pad was bad.
Stop using shit characters is the most obvious solution. Also lol at Zero needing to use L.
lol @ saying this is a preference.
Yeah, in the same way that playing a FPS on stick is a preference. Fuck outta here with that.
You’re wrong. But because we’re on SRK, I won’t explain why you’re wrong.
Why don’t you think there is a choice in what to use?
how can somebody make quick inputs in marvel vs capcom
GO to Options -> Operation mode -> Control Type and use left or right direction to set this to simple
