"Back" button, is it needed?

I’m moding a Street Fighter Anniversary Stick with a 360 wireless controller and I was wondering if I need to add an extra button for the “back” button on the controller?

In other words, is the “back” button essential for anything on the 360?

If not, then I’ve already got all the buttons I need pre-drilled… Anyone know for sure?

Thanks!

i dont use my back button ever but its alot easier to have one on a stick so you dont have to hit the B button everytime lol

Wire it as Guide instead of Back. You’ll use it often while Back is rarely used.

The only game it’s essential for AFAIK is Hyper Fighting, where you need to press it to reset a wired controller if the cord becomes detached from the console.

Virtua Fighter 5 and DOA also use it to reset position in training mode, without it you need to pause then select the reset option from the menu.

Wasn’t Hyper Fighting succeed by HD Remix? That seems pretty trivial if the only time it comes into play is if the controller is accidentally disconnected.

Someone countered me last time as well with VF5. If you can reset the position from the menu then it sounds like there’s even less justification to keep it.

I’m not trying to come off like an ass. I just press the Guide button all day long and have never had an issue with not having Back.

I leave the “Back” out. If you have the buttons and feel the need to wire every button then do so if not you really don’t need it.
