See, I've been concerned since the beginning about a wireless controller being the standard for MKX. I play on stick but I don't know anyone else who does. This is gonna get interesting. What options are there other than the new SFV pad? Hori Fighting Edge?

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

There is the MKX Pad, Hori, MadCatz, the Gator Claw, and this

Brook converter with Xbox one pad?

That VAGAVO pad looks awfully sketchy. Durability problems mainly. The MKX pad was made by PDP and should be taken with a grain of salt. Probably best for MK players to get used to a new pad in the Hori or Madcatz line. Or stick, either way.

Brook converter with Xbox one pad?

No converters.

EDIT: Sorry, only Chronus Max and Titan Ones are banned

I used to play with stick, but converted to a PS4 controller because I found the run mechanic easier to use on it (I am a Cassie player so running is kind of important). This sucks for a lot of people. Is the MKX Pad any good?

 

[JesterSMX]

Converters are allowed. Brooks converter for ps2/ps4 would probably be best for ds4 users.

 

[GOL Eklectic]

This is terrible

 

[Baconlord]

just take the battery pack out of your controller. it will function like a wireless controller and its not hard to do. I did it for frosty and had no problems with my controller.

 

[Smarrgasm]

The brook converter should be legal as long as you stay wired to the console and have no batteries in the xbone pad.

Pretty sure this is still illegal.

 

[C-Sword]

For those who are looking for an alternative to the DS4, I have this one, much better than the FC4

 

[Airvidal]

Why would the ps4 pad even be a problem?

 

[EdenianWarrior]

Whoa, I am sooooo lost. What is the problem with wired, wireless, pads, and the such?

 

[Goatness]

I was about to get a TE2 Madcatz stick for SFV and I was going to mess around with it on MKX a whole lot. I've read time and time again that most people prefer pad for MKX. Anyone here with experience on both that can detail their preferences between the two for MKX?

Actually there are only 2 converters banned. The Brook converter is not one of them which makes it legal.

NVM, missed your EDIT....

 

[StealthyMuffin]

DS4s have been used for the past year. Nothing has changed. Dumb decision.

yeah I just read over the rules and that kind of sucks. its understandable since there will probably be another 1,000 entrance and I cant imagine it being easy to make sure everyone's pad is wired. oh well it gives me a reason to invest in a new pad or a hitbox.

I personally play stick on MKX but not because I feel like it's "better" just because I play all my fighting games on stick (VF, SF, KI, etc)

I do not feel that there is a disadvantage to it. Not after you get used to it. Mainly preference. I use the old MK arcade layout

DS4s stay synced to the system they were used on even once turned off so if tge PS button on someone's pad gets hit that was previously playing on that console it forces a pause and a sign in prompt. It has happened numerous times in tournament in both mkx and usf4.

Be interesting to see if they allow brook converters. They are top notch

 

[Scott The Scot]

It's because of syncing issues and disruptions. Wireless controllers just have too many problems that can cost somebody their tourney life. Problems like this also mean it takes the tourney longer to run. At least the news is out nice and early so peope can buy what they need to buy and get used to anything new.

Mr Wizard said as of now they are fine, but If any problems come up between now and evo they will be banned.

 

[Ragnarök Tyr]

Does anyone have any experience with this particular accessory.

I'd rather not go back to my PS2 controller, but if there aren't any other options I may have to look into it.
