Question: Why a D-Pad over a Control Stick for Fighting Games?
Why a d-pad over a control stick for fighting games? In the arcades you use a stick so why with console games is the control stick inadequate?
|
I seriously wouldn't know. I use the stick most of the times, but sometimes the D-pad is faster or something... dunno, I guess it's good for fast combos... :unsure:
|
Yeah, what Angrist said. Sometimes the D-Pad is way better for combos. I don't know about the arcade thing. Make because you can grab the joy stick while on a controller you move it with your thumb. :confused:
|
In the arcade(as far as I know), the stick isn't as "analogy" as say the console sticks. It doesn't push as far, so it pushes more like if you pushed on a d pad. But if I ever do play fighting games(which I don't that often, not my fav.) I prefer the d pad. Its more quicker to move with(like others have said already).
|
Simple, it's easier to just press one of the 8 directions instead of moving (or Rollong) a stick to it. Just like in thps... the stick just makes movement horrid.
|
I only play fighting games at arcades, so I can't help you.
And yeah, THPS is horrible with the control stick. it just feels so... BLAH. |
Heh... i like THPS 1 and 2 with a joystick and i was pretty good at those games :unsure: well i think.. i havent played THPS1 for ages.. since grade 7 but i was pretty good.. 400 k I think was my best score in the school....... loved that level..
but.. uhh.. yeah fighting games are easier with a dpad unless your playing it an arcade cause you hold it different or.. soemthing.. i dunno.. its just easier to pull of long combos with a dpad than the joystick... |
Combos is a good point, with a control stick its harder to get it to do exactly what you want it to do.
|
A joystick and a control stick are 2 different things. The joystick you use your hand, and hit it to the side, on a control stick, you use your thumb and it's just too slow.
But nothing can beat an experienced arcade player using his joystick. A d-pad is still slower. |
Well they have a joy-stick controller out already for each console, dont they? I think so. At least cube dose.
|
Don't think so. Haven't seen one for Gamecube. Saw one for Xbox.
Dc still has the best one ever made. |
This works with any console with the right adapter.
