No you don’t.
You physically can’t. It requires keys instead of a stick/rocker
It works on pad. The Sonic Boom type “cheat,” anyway, if I understand it correctly.
Use the control stick to hold back, and then use the d-pad as your forward “button.” D-pads are basically weirdly shaped buttons so it functions the same way, since you never need to use the joystick.
Of course it requires awkward finger placement, as much as I’m used to that from doing Ed flickers (even more awkward if you do it with flash kick instead of booms). Which of course is why that particular technique isn’t really brought up unless it’s hitbox and why I had the sarcastic emoji in that post~

Pad users can do it by holding back on the pad and flicking forward on the analog stick.
Lol yeah he went next level with his though. Adding extra jump buttons amd other nonsense. Daigo is hitboxing in the future.

That makes sense.
I didn’t think of using both stick and dpad together.
However that seems, as you said, prohibitively clunky on pad.

Sure, unless you somehow wire the right analog to behave lile the left one.
If you do that, you’ll be able to flick forward and a button with the same hand. Probably wouldnt be any much more finger dexterity than playing chords on guitar or piano.
I play both of those things and… maybe.
Still, I respect Daigo for going all out on the hitbox, and I mean it. The whole point is to give yourself a mechanical advantage by changing the controller, and he just went for it.

Oh I was assuming you were talking about breaking the dpad plastic, like some NES speedrunners do.
Naw fuck you homie hitbox for life. I’m fucking sick of dropping easy ass confirms in SFV. And I only if I wasn’t lazy and poor I’d i have less of that on shitbuax.
Down with sticks!!!
Following up on this pad could also block left/right and fuzzy hi/low in MvC3. 
Pads can do some dirty shit too.
If you turn off the analog button, the right stick works like the face buttons, so you can actually hit diagonals on the right stick to have 2-button macros.
It’s what I use for VS/VT and I can do EX moves off it too.
Hell, I used to do Chun’s VS, stomps into EX Air Legs on it for shits and giggles. Look ma, no buttons!
You’ll probably lose Akhos’ charge shenanigans, but fuck Guile anyway.
It is. Sonic Boom isn’t the worst but you lose access to other buttons with your fingers.
I’m used to holding the pad in clunky ways though, I constantly switch my right hand’s position for Ed flickers
Left hand remains in the regular position for Psycho Rising and EX Psycho Upper (since PPP and KKK macros are on that side), right hand’s fingers press MK + LP and then immediately switches to piano MP → LP → MP. Ring finger keeps access to HP and HK if needed at that exact moment, and pressing the pointer finger on LP + LK techs throws.
For the Sonic Boom you’d have to move your pointer finger to the D-pad and leave the rest on the face buttons, but then you’d lose access to HP and HK. Unless you made HP and HK on the left side shoulder buttons instead and forgo the PPP/KKK macros.
Though after remembering it exists, I’ve been thinking about this guy, since it’s basically a pad but accessing HP or HK while prepping a flicker is less awkward
But reading the reviews for it I’m a bit iffy on if the quality is good enough. Hm.
Depends a lot on the model.
I wanted one too, but I realized it was too expensive for someone that doesn’t even have a local to go to.
Also, claw grip is disgusting. Put that shit in a spoiler tag.

I like what I like leave me alone
bum exposing Mk11 lololol
I had the old 360 fightpad. I used it before I switched to stick.
It was a good pad with a great d-Pad (modeled after the saturn pad). I know you use the stick though… so I’m not as confident. Of all the controllers I’ve tried, the Xbox One pad has the best Joystick.
How are the RB and LB buttons on an Xbox One pad? They seem a little large and the kind of button that takes a bit to fully depress and “click,” vs say the PS4 pad
