How accepted would a D-Pad be at EVO?

[PlatinumBD]

I’m a stick user myself because I don’t understand how you can play charge characters without one but that’s the thing It doesn’t matter if I don’t get it. If you can kick ass with a pad more power to you. We got a local, Wolfkrone, who destroys with a pad, so much so in fact he places first in just about every midwest tourney minus MWC (placed top 16).

Does he use Shock 3? If so, how in the hell does he not run into the XBox/PS3 crossover?

he uses a white DS3, and for xbox he probably does the same thing i do… use a lagless converter. i’m not wondering how he plays on xbox. i’m more wondering how he can pull off some of vipers sick execution combos. although i know how (he uses the analog), i couldnt do it. my thumb flys off that shit when i move it that fast.

Hori Fight commander 3 is a really good 6 button pad. I’m going to make a vid on it soon. Don’t play 6 button pads with just your thumb so you have to rely on trigger buttons. Lay it on your knee/ leg and play with your fingers.

This year half of the top 20 at EVO will be people who play only on pads.

i can do either way actually. i prefer thumb method tho. the only motion that’s hard (but not impossible) is kara throw. I don’t see half the top 20 using pad. most jp guys use stick and most of the top US guys use stick as well. Luffy, EmblemLord, theonly_j, would make top 20 but none of them are coming. inthul MIGHT make top 20 but i’m not betting on it. wolfkrone will probably make top 20 but other than those 2 off the top of my head i dont see too many people using pad and making top 20. not because it’s harder or cant be done, but because not many people use pad compared to stick.

Psychic are we?

Saturn pads are generally good too. But stick is much more universal. You can dual mod a pad, but it takes like…twice the amount of effort to mod a pad over a stick.

i sorta have to disagree with that a little bit. dual modding any controller would be pretty much identical. the only difference is the amount of space you have to work with. then again i’ma electronics guy and neither one is hard for me.

For someone with little experience it would be difficult because of the space. And exacta, you have experience, so i’d be worried if you found it hard

I said it once, and I’ll say it again:

If I had the technical know-how to frankenstein the left half of a Japanese Saturn pad into the right half of a HRAP, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

it can be done but you’ll be lookin at about $500 for a controller. that’s a draft estimate too. you can get em cheaper but you have to order in bulk

edit: why would you want the dpad on the right of an HRAP anyway? and there are cheaper ways but i’m assuming you mean a stock professional lookin controller.

I can see myself dropping $500 on that, especially if could get a MC Cthulhu + RJ-45 in it.

edit: left side would be the pad, right side would be the 6 face buttons.

edit2: Yep, I’d be looking for something sleek and professional, since my handiwork would look…coarse.

if you serious i’ll do some diggin and see what ideas i could come up with. funny cause the case would probably end up being close to if not the most expensive part. mainly cause you’d have to do custom molding. something might be able to be done with fiberglass… but … yeah. lol

Bad ass. PM me with more info once you get it.

I play M.Bison on a pad, a broken pad. My laziness knows no limits.

I feel like my button inputs and everything are more precise and I don’t always mess up with a stick
