being a fan of extreme metal i've never had a a girlfriend with a similar taste in music...which leaves me to listen to music when they're not around or asleep...lucky thing i like many genres of music
Here's a question for people that have played fighting video games. For a game like Street Fighter 4 on the Playstation is it easier playing it with the game pad or is it better using one of those arcade style controls? :dunno:
My brother has got a Playstation with the game, but I find some of the more complex moves hard to pull off with the game pad, especially outside of training mode, and especially things like where you have to move the analog 360 degrees. I find myself having to actually use the palm of my other hand just to pull them off in training mode.
Of course, it's not like I'm going to shell out the money for the arcade controls anyway so it's just out of curiosity.
It depends. I know the ones who pull off the hardcore fighting style usually use the arcade stick because that is what they are used to.
It all comes down to what you want to do and preference.![]()
When I'm doing things like half turns or quarter turns it seems easier if I can push the analog or the joystick all the way to the edge and glide it along the edge for that movement. That just seems harder to do with a console controller using only my thumb on it. Doing a full 360s with just my thumb seems dam near impossible while trying to keep the analog stick on the controller all the way to it's edge while circling around. Shorter turns I can do the majority of the time, but not often enough that it's automatically reliable when I need it, which when facing a good human opponent is almost a necessity. Not having a move fire off because of some reason when you need it to can be the difference between winning and loosing. I also find that the bigger the stick the more reliable the directional changes. For instance it seems you can be more sure of going from down and away to strait forward instead of accidentally going from down away to down forward. Things like the above are more irritating in Super Street Fighter IV when you need a super or ultra move to fire off for example.
