I’m looking for new sticks, I am not familiar with Qanba or eTokki
I found Qanba Q4RAF Amazon how do i know it will have original PCB? I was I’m not sure if there are different version?
I’m also not too sure about the eTokki Omni/Paewang which version to get?
Would be interesting to see a list for controllers also. I think ill buy the original q4raf since my ice blue version sucks on PS3 “according to teyah”
15 is more than a few. Take your ps360+ (on xbox 360) as 1p and use a pad as 2p. If you can’t tell the difference you’re either stupid or lying. Having my new board actually be able to consistently hit two buttons at the same time is pretty nice too. Just because you don’t like me doesn’t mean you need to be an asshole.
I did a quick, very non-scientific test comparing the ps360 to a brawl pad (which we have no ratings for) pad hack tonight. Pressing both jabs simultaneously with the same character, the brawl pad usually won, with the occasional tie thrown in. I then compared the feel of the two, and could tell no difference, even when plinking (ugh) cr. fp into cr. mk with Cammy.
Non scientific conclusion: there’s a difference, but one that’s unlikely to matter often.
I tested brawl pad vs hori vx sa a year or two ago because brawl pad inputs felt pretty heavy to me. ended up deciding the brawl pad was notably laggier, to the point where it made a consistent difference in the test. I didn’t record anything/post any results because
only a few people would care about a rather specific test of two things I happened to own and had a suspicion about
I didn’t want to experience a thread like this where people who’ve never placed in a tourney that mattered informed me they could beat Chun with a brawl pad
(oooh shots fired) well anyway
3s has a fun little situation for testing this stuff - in Chun mirrors if they stand next to each other and hit stand fierce on the same frame, they’ll go through each other and neither will take damage. if one happens a frame before the other, the slower input eats a stand fierce to the face. so obviously the more laggy one controller is vs another, the more often Chun will eat fierces. depends of course on where you are in the frame - if you hit both buttons at the beginning of the frame and one controller was 8ms laggier than the other, it wouldn’t matter, they’d both make it in time. if you kept catching the end of a frame, even 1-5ms would mean you landed on different frames. 3s won’t accept inputs somewhere around the 80-85% through the frame mark. this is just an estimate, a conclusion I reached from watching a lot of high speed camera footage frame by frame when we were testing the 3s console ports for lag vs cps3. there’s a certain spot on the screen where your refresh line is and if it’s towards the bottom of the screen you know your input will be 1f later than otherwise.
anyway enough for trivia you probably don’t care about
as you can imagine the brawl pad chun ate a lot of fierces to the face
so yeah I suspect from my unofficial test that brawl pads are probably sketchy. I personally wouldn’t use a test vs a brawl pad to draw any conclusions about whether you can tell the difference. sorry that I have no hard evidence to back that up. if I still owned a brawl pad I’d record it now. maybe someone can send Teyah a brawl pad. until then this post is just a silly fun story about Chun I suppose.
That’s just the tech talk special; your actual experience means jack if it doesn’t match the accepted norm or a tech talk demi-god. God help you if your account is also fairly new.
Going back and forth between a round 1 and a VXSA is the reason I’ve not bought a Madcatz stick since. Some people can’t feel it but to others, it’s night and day.
