Stick players: Do you use 6 buttons or 8 buttons?

Hey stick players, do you guys use 6 buttons or 8 buttons? And if you use 8 buttons to what do you map them too?

My normals go on the 6 right-side buttons. I set Select to the bottom left button on PC to plink jabs and shorts. Top left button is mainly used for training mode stuff. So in normal gameplay I use 7 buttons, I guess.

Eight buttons. Six buttons for the actual game and the last two to trick my opponent into thinking that I’m mashing buttons.

I use whatever amount the stick comes with. I usually map my buttons based on the arcade layout of said game and pick my preference if the game has more than one arcade layout. Like the type b layout for Blazblue as an example.

7

Six buttons for me.

Six buttons here, but that’s really because I found a Hori VX on sale and didn’t want to drop the bones for the Arcade Pro.

Is it considered scrubby to map 3P and 3K to the side buttons on an 8-button stick? (to help with ultra executions and such)

It’s hard to imagine needing macros for anything on a stick. I use the the 2 side buttons for training mode stuff.

6

Nope

I use 8, but only hit my 3p and 3k buttons for ultras and whatnot.

for most other games i use 6 however

My stick has 8 buttons, with the 2 far right mapped to PPP/KKK, but tbh I only ever really use the 6 normal buttons - exception being if I want EX hands, as I don’t know how to piano that yet so just mash the PPP button xD

Guilty of using 8 buttons out of ease. I should probably go back to using 6 buttons though, getting used to and/or being reliant on macros is never a good thing.

Normally 8 but I don’t really use the last 2 buttons often

Use 6 buttons, i always input my ultra with either 3 kicks or 3 punches.
I have wired my back button as one of the main buttons to make plinking light attacks easier though…so 7 in very specific cases?

Learned on 8, but using 6 now on PC thanks to it being an xbox one stick. 6 feels just as good as 8 though

I’m using 7, I use the bottom right 8th button as a macro for focus as I find it easier to FADC, using my pinky to hit that. Though I should probably switch to using the usualy two mediums as coming up in a situation where I’d have to use a six button stick it’d really confuse me.

Also having an extra button assigned to nothing to make people think you’re button mashing is a great idea :’)

6 for KOF13 (4 + PP and KK binds), 5 for GG, 6 for SF.

8 in SF-games. Having the PPP/KKK-buttons as an option is useful for ultras and teleports(and to some extent EX-moves), so I see no reason to turn two buttons off.

In KOF I only use 4 though.
