Pad hate is strong here. It’s pointless. If Alioune, Wolfkrone, Amoco etc. Can do it so can everybody else.
I am fully confident I can beat all your asses enough on pad that you won’t think I’m handicapped by it, at least.
…do you use macros?
I don’t think it’s pad hate. IMO pads are the result of gaming becoming a larger home based activity. If you’ve only ever kicked a ball with your left foot, trying your right would seem pointless. Before SRK was around , people still preffered sticks back in the day. Speak to anyone from the SF2 era and it HAD to be stick. If this was a result of the feel , or if it was more accurate I suppose is debatable.
Although I’m not slating pad players, good pad players are probably even more impressive than good stick players. But I’d still strongly back sticks at being more accurate in every aspect. If not just for the comfort factor.
There’s a reason people shell out $200 for a stick.
Once you’ve established muscle memory for an input device it barely matters at all what that input device is.
once you get a nice hard stick in your hand, you will never want to let it go, and will play with it so frequently you will eventually wear it out completely and have to find another stick to get your hands on.
I’m so sorry…
People spend too much time bitching about the controller. I mean I don’t give a damn if the person across from me is on pad or stick I am just going to play them just the same.
This but I use a stick because I have been playing fighting games since 1989
No ones bitching about the controller. People can use what they want to use.
Also
True, but I could learn to eat rice with chopsticks, that doesn’t mean a spoon isn’t easier. It doesn’t matter the type of input device, but the distance to the goal could be different in terms of learning.
Besides you’ll never enjoy the awesomeness of a Tokyo Arcade.
Oh, I’ll agree that it is easier to learn on a stick, particularly if starting out with fighting games for the first time- but we’re talking about a difference of a few hours of practice. Not a big deal.
Omni since when do you live in NJ? Where the fuck have i been?
Pad is better at certain things. Directional inputs, especially double inputs like dashes, are much easier. Less travel distance. My thumb sits in the centre of the d-pad and I can change my directional input virtually instantly just by rocking my thumb a teensy bit.
I started on stick(SF2 arcade) like lots did, but after adapting to pad on SNES(lots of practice, sucked at first) then playing mortal kombat etc on genesis and snes I adapted and got good enough on it that I eventually preferred pad, smaller like mowr said …and you dont have a large thing to lug around or have to sit on your lap as you play.
I imagine that can get sweaty after playing a while?o_O
But everyone has their own reasons so what ever works for you, have fun and go with it!
wait so what is this thread about again?
since i was born nigga! lol…I’ve always been in jerz bro…never went to any tourney’s though…I just want to play some good players in person tbh, i met this Guile player a while back at the mall named ziggy i think but lost his number, haven’t found any friendly *local competition since.
My nigga I live in North central jersey. Near Newark. What town you live in?
bouncing around atm…but I’ve been in the Union area for a couple years now…lived in Newark of a South Orange Ave for a long time tho…I like the union area though, I’m back n forth between Roselle and Linden. We gotta game up in person one day bra bra…
super easy for guiles super.
The only thing that is hard on pad imo is dash ultra esp deejay EX MGU Dash Ultra 2, Chun leg-loop.
Dashes in general can be harder on pads, especially if they are loose or “mushy” dpads, you have to slow down your input. Tighter dpads dont have that problem.
Anyway back on topic, Who do you think benefits most from the 2012 buffs coming from AE?
I don’t know…Seth seems really good now, and Ryu…those are my two picks.
I’ve been playing ken since vanilla, and I’ll be honest, I wish just one version he came out on at top 3 for once. Dunno how to buff Ken without breaking him though…maybe give him an easy combo into sweep and better walk speed? He would probably be god-like, but still not Viper/Seth
