For pad players: Your gamepad of choice

its light weight. its cheap. its the one i developed my calluses and blistered my thumbs on. i’m sticking to it

sometimes this one when my brother’s using the psx. its got bigger grips though. (its the original analog, not the dual shock. this one didnt have rumble. came out around the same time as MGS1)

and lucky me i got my SLS saturn usb pad on ebay when it was 10 bucks

I got the PS1 controller, I was testing it with MK9, there was some input lags, it might have something to do with the cheap ass converter I have, I just bought a pelican converter off ebay, can’t wait to try it.

The PS2 pad for KOF XIII is god like.

its def the converter. my converters weak as crap too. deal extreme for the whine

Does anyone own this Saturn to USB converter? I was told that it would work on the PS3

Stock, wireless X-box 360 slim gamepad.

Works great! Use it in UMVC3 to great effect all the time.

i honestly hate that controller with a vengeance. is there a difference with the slim one?

it might. more likely than not, its gonna have some lag.

Don’t think so. Anyway, i have no trouble pulling off moves precisely & Consistently on the D-pad. I’ve competed in several tournaments in the past with my gamepad and did well for myself.

Its nowhere remotely as bad as some gamers make it out to be. Not by a long shot.

IMO, so every time i here someone complain about the 360 pad, i can’t help but assume its a noob trying to blame the pad for their lack of execution…

maybe so, but i still hate that dpad

Does no one use the analogue stick anymore or am I the only one?

Analog stick? For fighters?

No way.

I came from being a sponsored FPS player so the analog was my weapon on choice. I don’t know how you guys play with the D-Pad, that shit is terrible.

thumb blisters are like a rite of passage

This dpad does make some moves more accurate but it HURTS especially on a dualshock 3.

D-pad for fighters is a must.

Analog stick with fighters? Thats a mistake only the noobs make…

analog is how i learned street fighter dpad hurts like hell.

Well I am indeed not a noob.

BTW, people still say noob? Hasn’t that word been dead due to others saying, “Scrub”, or, “Fraud”? I see noob as a FPS term.

Noob/newb is not a term specific to any game or genre, but rather universal slang to describe a beginner.

That means if you try to bake cookies for the first time and fail horribly? Pfffft cookie noob.

Well yeah I know what noob means, but that word never gets used anymore.

Analog stick is god tier.

Thats kinda your perception dude. Noob is still plenty viable to use to describe, umm, a noob lol.

Furthermore, its a term much more likely to be used in polite context. While Scrub technically means the same thing, its usually thrown around as more of an insult. You usually don’t refer to a player as a scrub unless you’re prepared to throw down the gauntlet.
