Is there such a thing as a good pad for fighting games or is that a myth?
>inb4 gamecube controller
Smash Bros. isn't a real fighting game
Gamecube controller, and you're right, Melee/Sm4sh aren't fighting games.
360 is one of the better gamepads for its dpad. Haven't tried the xbone controller.
>Smash Bros. isn't a real fighting game
What's it to you? You'll never be a real fighting game player.
I have a friend, a top GG player in our community, who only uses Saturn pad, even for Xrd on PS4. I like the DS4 and the Hori Fighting Commander 3 Pro, but I still use stick.
>>332948727
i like using my keyboard. Have been so used to it because i've been playing fighters on my keyboard online for so long on mame. I know it's not the best but i really like it.
>>332948727
i found the Dualshock controllers fine for fighting games.
most pad are fine, it's just that most people seem to prefer sticks or grew used it due to arcades
Just got this two days ago and its fucking amazing. I would definitely recommend you get it if you don't want to buy a stick.
>>332948727
I've been using a dualshock 3 and 4 for a while and bought a hori fighting commander 4 yesterday, loving it more than either so far
I suppose if you're playing a grappler that needs to do a lot of 360/720 moves then the old SF4 madkatz isn't bad
>>332948818
>project M
>not KoF 98'
I mean, it's still a good competitive game, but really?
>>332948852
You must be joking. The 360 pad is notorius for it's shitty dpad and it's use for fighting games. The PS3 dpad is much more precise.
>>332949330
I have the Hori Gempad and the dpad on that is god awful. I have an easier time pulling off combos and shit on a 360 pad. Is the dpad good on that?
>smash not a fighting game
Nice meme/click bait. Get an arcade stick you casual.
>not stick
FIGHTSTICK BROS WW@
>>332948818
Replace Project M with Melee and it will be good.
Literally one of the greatest and most precise controllers ever made. All of the Saturn controllers were perfect for fighting games.
>>332949330
do you have tiny hands or is the controller just that huge?
>>332948727
Hori Fighting Commander 4 is amazing. Probably the best pad n the market right now.
>>332949687
Yes the dpad is actually pretty good. The only problem I'm really having is trying to do Akumas air fireball, but that could just be me considering the fact that I come from playing stick and still getting use to this pad
>>332949776
My hands are medium size. I think it'll still be good for people with larger hands
>>332949910
Get the Japanese commander >>332949330 . I heard there were problems with the dpad moving on its own
>>332948727
>Smash Bros. isn't a real fighting game
hey bud, SoulCalibur was on GCN as well.
>>332949738
Nice try falseflagger.
I use a stick, but that's because I grew up in an arcade. If people didn't play videogames that way when they were young, then a stick isn't really a sound investment because it's an entirely different control scheme from what they're used to.
>>332950157
That's the first commander, which has Dpad issues in all versions.
>>332949741
>not fightan
>>332950157
The dpad moving is a bit overstated. it happened once or twice to me, but if tighten it enough it doesn't move at all.
But they should get the other FC4 anyways because it has native Xinput.
I always thought the dualshock controllers were perfect for whatever fighting game I was playing. I'm mostly casual anyway.
but goddamm does the PS4 controller suck ass. How could they fuck up something that didn't need fixing?! I swear, that fucking "share" button is the bane of my existence. It's too close to the d-pad! If only there was a way to disable it.
how is the pdp fightpad in OP? Does it really break quickly or is that just shills from hori spreading that rumor?
>>332948930

The dualshock 2 was great, too bad a lot of PS2 fighting games were terrible ports of the arcade version.
The pre-analog stick PS1 controller is fucking amazing for fighting games. I know someone that uses it great for Mahvel.
>>332950551
Holy shit no. While the dpad in the DS4 is not good, the dpad in the previous DS were horrible.
>>332950551
Put tape over it?
Has anyone tried the elite controller?
the problem with the Dual shocks is the separated directions on the Dpad
>not sticking with the fact "character action" games will stomp out "fighting" games out of the popular genre
even stinky ol' Tr4sh isn't as slow as a typical fighting game
>>332950740
Luffy uses a pre-analog PS1 controller for fighting games and he won EVO.
I have a fight stick since I've always liked that control scheme and my thumbs are fucking terrible at buttons for some reason.
>>332950740
I've got a couple of pre analog ps2 controllers. Know any good USB adapters that would let me use them for the 360? (I still play ultra sfiv and sf3 online edition on it)

I don't have any experience with fighting pads, but I assume you use your right hand similiar like with a stick.
So why aren't the right sided shoulder buttons at the bottom so you can press them with your thumb?
>>332948727
I really wanted this pad to be good.
>>332951140
>Implying the skill level needed to complete the story mode is the peak
>>332951346
The shoulder buttons are there for people who hold the controller like a normal pad. People who hold it like a stick dont need a 5th and 6th button.
I dunno how people fightstick style anyways. It's too cramped for that shit.
>>332951140
You realize that isn't really saying anything, right? SF5's story mode is stuck on "retard" difficulty. Mashing one button will probably win that mode with any character.
No sane person plays a fighting game for single player mode.
fighting games have colossi fighters
smash has none

Been thinking about getting one of these for Xrd, but when I used my friends I kept hitting R1 and R2 instead of triangle and circle. Thinking if I do get it I'll remove those 2 buttons.
>>332951505
You're right.
That baby could AT LEAST beat LTG
>>332951505
>>332951552
the fact that smashniggers can't even do an easy FG technique even their god and savior Sakurai flatly demonstrated, shows that they can't even pass the most retard easy difficultly of Brawl Fighter V's story.
>>332951928
Nigga dont ruin a good controller, if you use it enough you'll get used to it.
Also you can just try and use Triangle Circle R1 R2 instead.
>>332948727
>Smash Bros. isn't a real fighting game
Eat Literal Shit
The pad on this one just feels so fucking good
for people who actually play fightning games is it okay to use a 360 pad? I play SFIV on pc using a 360 pad and have no trouble getting motions out on the analogue stick, as others have mentioned i had no intention of using the dpad. just wondering if there are any recommended button set ups or anything?

Are you even trying smash players? No wonder Leffen constantly gets blown the fuck out by shit tier pros at European events, objectively the worst and weakest competitive FGC scene in the world.

>>332952186
i hear you have to take it apart and mod the shit out it before its usable
>>332952186
LTG plz go. Everyone I hear says the pad is absolute garbage.
>>332952408
you have to follow a youtube guide on how to mod the dpad iirc

>>332952936
they accept "character action" games too you know
>>332952936
To appease Smashfags who try to argue it's a fighting game as well as because Nintendo paid them big bucks. Same reason Pokken is there despite being the only local MP game that allows for only one proper controller for the game
>>332953109
Funny you say that because EVO sells itself as a fighting game tournament
Saturn pad is good for fighters.
>>332948727
look for the PS2 NEO GEO pad
Instead of a shit analog stick like in your pic, it has the NEO GEO Pocket octogonal gate stick
Too bad the thing is rare and expensive
>>332953254
>the only reason Smash it's at EVO it's to appease Smash players
Wow, you guys are pussies if that's the case
>It's only at EVO because muh Nintendo payed money
And because it's fucking huge, you can cry all you want but Blazblue or Skullgirls will never be as relevant
>>332952936
Oh shut the fuck up. You smash nerds always try to put yourself on the same level as other fighters. Why not just accept your game is different, even your community is different. Just fuck off to your events and everyone wins!
>>332952936
Mario Kart was at Evo.
Evo has become a joke since 2013. It's why everyone has their own invitational now. Evo has been reduced to a mid year major for everyone except smashfags.
Maybe if retarded fighting games didn't have three fucking buttons for the same function, but light medium and heavy versions. So fucking retarded
>>332952838
Well yes, genertally they are more precise. But you shouldn't bluntforce yourself into using a control scheme that you didn't grow up with
>>332953653
Well I already spent the $200 so I figure I might as well try, I can execute the CA now when I couldn't before and thanks to messing with Alex a bit I can manage half circles again too
>>332953406
Forgot pic
>>332953521
Hey anon it's not like Smash players have a word on being at EVO or not.
Smash was LITERALLY invited. We have our own events, but if you guys want to host Smash at EVO what do you want, for us to not show up? Good luck with that.
>>332952936
gee, i wonder why
>even MK was at evo
>>332953483
Says the guy that had to have Wizard silently reopen the poll and only tell the Smash pros that it was open again just to beat Skullgirls.

>>332953810
The circle pad looks imprecise. Like the Xbox d-pad.
I generally like the dualshock design. Would this pad even register on a ps4?
>>332948818
This is correct.

>>332948818
This is so wrong, you simply cannot have a trinity, there needs to be a 3D fighter there, a SNK game and maybe even a MvC or X-Men v SF
>>332951140
>all these random first year formulas
Like they're literally all in their most basic forms. Most of them could be expanded and over complicated way more so to drive the point home. None of that shit is difficult.
>>332954238
the Chinese USB clones are shit, don't get it
They do work with the PS3, but not with the PS4
The original PS2 made by SNK uses micro switches(USB copies do not), similar how the normal Neo Geo controller had on its stick
SNK designed this controller for the NeoGeo CD, the budget version of the Neo Geo, for people who couldn't buy the fucking expensive console plus its arcade like controllers
Over all its a pretty good controller for arcade games and fighting games, just don't play anything with full 3D movement on it
>>332949910
That's what I use.
I got it before the newer one came out though.
I ended up leaving the diagonals tension on default so I'd probably be OK with the newer one too even if it lacks that adjust.
>>332954904
No shit. You're talking about people that have no idea how to do the most basic fighting game inputs. Good god your reads are terrible. You need to OS yourself joke comprehension.
>>332954904

>>332948727
I own one of these, and it's been pretty good to me. Solidly built despite the low price, the face buttons feel a little loose but the stick is fantastic.
I would rather buy 10 of these each time one breaks instead of shelling out the same amount for a fightstick.

No but honestly these are dead overrated, the faster you come to terms with the fact that SFV is a really good game the better.

GG is a far better game than SFIV / V
>>332949910
buddy of mine has a pair of these, it's pretty nice
tempted to pick one up myself
>>332956602
I've heard they break really fast (like, a couple months), that's been what's stopping me from picking a couple up.
>>332949527
It is some kind of new meme, I have seen this been posted all day
>>332957817
phew, i thought this post was serious
>>332958443
had mine for about 6 months now, still holding up well. The flimsiest part is probably the dpad since it can spin, but they fixed it in the lastest model
>>332949738
I have the same stick
> then a stick isn't really a sound investment because it's an entirely different control scheme from what they're used to.
That's untrue in a lot of cases. Specifically, in Street Fighter 4, it provides a large advantage in combo execution because plinking is WAY easier on a stick. It's possible on a pad but requires some weird ass claw grip and is much harder to do. In Street Fighter 5, double tapping is also much easier on stick. But honestly, if you need to double tap in 5, you're execution is atrocious. Combos are stupid easy to execute in 5. Then there are games that require charge partitioning execution which is objectively easier on stick.
Yea for people who didn't grow up in the arcades, stick won't feel natural. But you get used to it in a couple hours and it does provide advantages in a lot of games.

I stopped playing PM when it ceased development and moved on to melee. I'm actually starting to get into third strike. I've been playing it for two days on fightcade. I'm not even decent at it.
>>332959602
But I did and still do play 3S. But I never played the other 2 nor do I claim to.
>>332948818
>holy trinity for scrubs who can't navigate keepaway
>>332959602
I played all three, but god, finding games for +R is hell, especially with the fucking terrible delay-based netplay on the PC version, and at this point I'm just playing Melee since PM is dead in the water.
I do still play 3S here and there, though I am a massive baddie at it.
>>332948818
Its been a while.
Though this might become out of date with FR's release.
And we still don't know if SFV has staying power.
>>332948727
>gamecube controller
This thing is always and will always be the biggest hunk of fucking shit. The only reason smash players like it is stockholm syndrome, they've been forced to use the piece of garbage for some many years that they cannot function while using a normal or good controller.
Why do you think smash players almost never play other fighters?
>>332960494
>Why do you think smash players almost never play other fighters?
Because their brain explodes at the thought of actual inputs more complex than holding up and hitting 1 button?

>>332960494
The gamecube controller is godlike for melee, since it was designed with it in mind, and trash for basically anything else that resembles a fighting game.
I use DS3. Works fine for SFV.
The FGFC doesn't ostracize Smash because of the game itself, it ostracizes it because of the type of people in the Smash community which is really saying something considering the types you can already find in the FGC.
>>332961861
This
I'd be impressed by a Melee players ability to perform high-execution inputs if they could actually also perform something as simple as taking a shower.
i dont play fighting games, enlighten me
what's so necessary about a fight stick?
the 2 extra buttons?
>>332962687
Fight sticks have micro switch joysticks which allow for more precise input for movements.
>assholes at work think Marvel Contest of Champions mobile game is a fighting game

>>332962687
It was the layout used in arcades for decades.
People are used to it now.
Pad player here.
Most advices in this thread are wrong, as usual only stick players like to parrot bullshit or give advices on something they are unexperienced with.
Yes we know... Louffy won with a Ps1 pad.
It means nothing, there is no direct difference in between Ps1 pad and DS2 other than the analogue stick.
So the best pads for fighting games are typically those who have a d-pad at your thumbs reach and regular shoulder buttons, avoid triggers.
The DS1 and DS2 are tipically the best pads for fighting games.
Anything labelled as "fightpad" is a poor choice, trust me on that.
>>332962687
There is no inherent advantage of a fightstick over gamepad, as long as you prefer using a gamepad.
Old players are used to fight sticks, but lots of the "new generation" are using pads. It's just a preference, which is why people shouldn't drop $150 on a stick unless they know they want it.

>>332963919

Go press a PS1 controllers buttons and then go press a DS2/DS3's buttons
Theres a reason why SNES speedrunners choose the japanese super famicom controllers over the american super nintendo controllers.

This.
Personally I use stick because I hate using dpads as a main method of control, they make me feel like I'm just mashing my thumb to get any movement.
>>332964304
Its literally the same.
