PPP/KKK isn’t considered a macro though…right?
I’ve used 8 button since I’ve started, I’d hate to be forced to switch due to tournament rules.
PPP and KKK are macros although since they’re a part of the default control scheme I’ve never heard of a tournament disallowing it. In SF4 I use 7 buttons with the top rightmost button being my focus. I use a SFxT FS Pro and becausethe top and bottom row buttons are slightly offset I’ve had trouble with the focus.
I use 6. I have a few sticks with the select button on PPP but I never really use it.
8, though i can’t decide which one i like more
I use 6 but I rather use 8 buttons for menu navigations and misc. buttons
For SF I only use six. I started out using all eight, but since I installed a PS360+ in my VLX, I was basically forced into learning to use just six. I’ve assigned select to one of the buttons and use it to make my opponent think I’m mashing.
I use 8 buttons because it makes sense when games have triple punch and/ or kick as default button functions. For games with 6 buttons i use 6 buttons.
I use 6 buttons. Most of my sticks are 6 buttons only (if you don’t include start and select). I don’t use macros.
6 at home, also I play in the arcades a lot and 8 doesn’t exist there on the fighters I play.
6
I use 6 because I like to pretend I’m an OG arcade player when I’m really not
6 Buttons , I turn off the 7th and 8th Button. No short cuts/macros and less chance for errors if you accidentally hit the 7th/8th buttons.
I think it’s better than way , since it keeps hand positioning more consistent , plus I think it’s better to learn to play with the natural layout and not rely on short cuts , then you can concentrate on those 6 buttons.
Infact I really wish they made modern fight sticks with just 6 buttons and hide those two buttons somewhere else.
I 6 button for most of my fighting games but sf I 7 button just for fadc
