I cant see a use for turbo buttons in any fighting game really, doesn’t seem like you could get much if any use out of it.
Don’t even think about using auto-fire. I’LL KNOW.
I know nobody is enough of an ass to try using turbo buttons in offline play. Online play doesn’t really matter to me, I expect people online to be using programmable controllers and macros left and right
…
Free throws if you are in range of the opponent, guaranteed one frame link combos, guaranteed reversals(assuming you’re entering the motions of the reversal correctly), max damage on mash throws and in A3, max damage reduction. You never have to care about timing anything anymore.
MGS1 references for the win.
I don’t really consider it cheating, yeah I guess it can give you an unfair edge, but it’s not God mode.
Brazil has the best macro and rapid fire users ever.
RayStorm Anyone? G-Darius?
I used to have an Ascii pad for the SNES with turbo, and I used it on xband. shit was the best ever! I never thought about it as cheating at the time. I just wished I could take it to the arcade and use it.
and more lag than a redneck studying nanotechnology
I used to use Turbo button when I was younger.
With akuma’s raging Demon, It allows you to only do one Lp So that two came out anyways Making it So much easier to pull it off… But that’s cheating… So… Yeah.
TKD is much easier with it. lol
It all depends on the game/situation. I figured out my Fighting Stick 3’s turbo worked on my pc, and i used it to play some games… and i abused the turbo.
I dont really like using it though, i dont even like using multi-input commands, even if they’re built into the game (i think SFA and SF3 has those).
Overall, yes, for general play i’d consider it cheating (atleast for fighting games)
Turbo button is definitely cheating, but I wouldn’t care if a pad user needed to map 3P/3K.
I absolutely HATE fighting people on GGPO that use turbo. They always make it completely obvious. If it was more subtle, I doubt I’d notice or care as much.
I don’t really mind people using 3P/3K…unless they’re on stick. If you play on a stick, there’s no point at all in doing that. I could see pad players using it. I play on a ps2 pad for now, until I get around to making a stick, but I don’t see the point in using that macro.
Good luck charging Yamazaki’s Drill to maximum in Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition without a turbo controller. Otherwise, you’ll need to pull a Naruto-style shadow clone to help with the button mashing. It’s that serious.
Depends what kind of pad too for 3P/3K.
There’s no need for it on a Saturn pad or that new SF IV pad.
I agree. I find it nearly impossible to do that sort of thing (like Akuma teleport for instance) on a PS2 pad; I map it to the left trigger or whatever. But yeah, for a saturn pad, my Mad Catz Dream pad or arcade stick, with all the buttons laid out, there’s no need for that.
Fatal Fury Wild Ambition? Join the thread, please: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=166686 
I don’t use 3p/3k but I don’t have a problem with it. What’s interesting is that I know some well known ST players like Graham Wolfe and zass map Claw’s backflip to the LK button on console.
Anybody who said no is either joking or stupid.
You sure about that? Because last time I checked, it seemed that it was largely easier to perform 3P/3K on a PSX pad than it was on a Saturn pad, assuming you’re using the official button mappings for Street Fighter (that is, top row is punches, bottom is kick, R1 is HP, R2 is HK). Unless you’re pressing the buttons on the Saturn pad like you are on an arcade stick, I see no conceivably comfortable way to press all 3 buttons of either kind and still have access to the other buttons for say, Balrog rushdowns. On the other hand, on the PSX pads, you can just press two of the buttons with your thumb and you have your index finger to press the third. If it weren’t for the rubbery-feel of the callous inducing D-pad, I’d be using my DualShock 1 as my primary pad of choice instead of the Saturn or N64 pad.
To get back on the issue of a Turbo Button function, yes, it’s absolutely cheating, in fighters and (in my opinion) any other game period. I understand why people use it in certain games like certain SHMUPs (I’m looking at you P.N.03 and DDP), but I still consider it cheating. I’m of the opinion that if it’s not built into the game, then it shouldn’t be used. This is the reason I’m not against in-game macros like 3P and 3K or in-game turbo function. But if it’s an external augmentation device, then no way is that legitimate to use. Of course, I frankly don’t care if people do, since usually, it’s not going to heavily increase their performance in most situations, but I still believe it’s cheating.
I only use Turbo on those Track and Field games but in fighting games, turbo isn’t good at all.
