Pads for show, sticks for a pro.
That new MadCatz pad looks sexy as hell. I’m definitely picking one up. Don’t like DS4 as much
execution barrier my ass, but durability is a concern.
I wonder if a mayflash would outlive a 360 pad tbh.
Come to think of it sticks are huge but are they built like the way they look?
Controllers seem to wear out at the left log. dualshock especially if not ps2 era.
360 pad takes a good bit.
A stick with real arcade parts is incredibly durable. I still have the original JLF in my TE Round 1 and buttons have only been switched for experiments in aesthetics and feel.
You shouldn’t even be using analog sticks for fighting games.
Going hitbox, personally

As far as I’m concerned, execution is muscle memory. If they could just do them springs or whatever to the degree of those tough ass sticks jesus.
But they did pretty good for the 360 pad. I hope the one is not a step backwards in any department or it’s just mayflash city when it comes to that.
I’m going pad after using a stick for ages,
The fact I can’t use a ps3 stick is beyond me and a stick for the ps4 is too expensive way to expensive
I’m actually switching back to pad because of the Fightpad Pro. I literally only learned SF on stick because of SFIV’s plinking. But everything else I played on pad because stick just isn’t as natural as I’d want.
If my 360 pad craps out I will prolly just use a Cube or Xone pad for the other genres. keyboard, can’t. just can’t. fuck it lol.
Better aiming<Comfortability.
For those wondering,
Gamestop expects to sell the Madcatz SFV entire line on the 9th of Feb.
Just left with my Shadowloo black preorder, may get the red one too.
Out of interest, how many of you are considering hitbox who would usually be using stick?
I would rather go back to pad than go with a hitbox. I was never good at playing anything on a keyboard, would never be good at hitbox. With that said, I do believe that if you have the dexterity the hitbox is THE best.
I’d say YES.
Which is great for the ‘sport’
I looked up what a hitbox was…is it really just button pressing? That’s it?
Yup, works extremely well for games like MK. Not for me personally but a good alt to those who use a keyboard.
So if you want to move back and fourth you have to press the buttons multiple times to do so?
I don’t think I could ever get around to using one of those.
I don’t think I can convince myself to try it out, maybe if someone lent me one, but yeah it’s pretty convenient to have a finger for each direction.
