Are you Pad, Hitbox or Stick player?

[Flagg]

I can use a pad and stick, but for games like Street Fighter, im much better on the pad and MK, im probably better on the stick.

I much prefer the dpad on controllers and i prefer the sanwa button layout on sticks. One of those FrankenFightpads would be my ideal controller of choice.

I've gotten better on the stick but still occasionally do a special move if I hit a down poke. I'd stick with a pad for MK, but I HATE the button layout on madcatz pads and occasionally hit two buttons at once as I use a "claw method" of playing.

thats the problem with stick :´(

THIS would be fine for me

Keep practicing. I will miss the df when I want to special and get an uppercut instead, lol. I have a square gate though. It takes a long time so don't give up. I'm building an all button though too, so I'm curious how I'll do on that.

i use a ds2. gonna get a stick soon though.

Why not a hitbox then?

 

[FuzzySlipperz]

Stick all da way..........motions are much more fluid on a stick for me especially when using my baby Skarrlet

 

[Badboy Takuma]

Why not a hitbox then?

i try first an octagonal restrictor and adjust the spring, maybe it helps?

 

[Eddy Wang]

Pad, but would love to try a hitbox

 

[STRYKIE]

Pad, because I'm too cheap to buy/mod my own stick to use on 360.

Played stick only through sf4 till mk9.
Until today i've been mk9 pad, but I macguyver'd a MK layout onto my TE tonight
so this is going to be a game changer. Feels a bit too spread out so far but ill be good
to go in a few days.

i play on pad and stick(8 button) but i want to get a hitbox and mk layout stick(problem being i dont have much/any money) hitboxes look fun

@ aj1701
yeah, the octagonal restrictor works fine!
and its so cool to play mk9 with an stick, i never play again with an pad!

Cool man, I would vote stick too but I don't play MK9. I'll never go back to pad either.

I play a pad but really wanna get a stick. I hear execution is better for mk and I wanna pick up some FGs that r a bitch without it.

i thing yes!
example sonya combo: divekick-2 1-cartwheel ect
is pretty hard with pad because of fast inputs for the left hand, with stick is much comfortably

Glad the gate worked for you. i like the square myself but whatever works for you . im building a stick less controler with mk layout, that should be fun .

I know it's a matter of preference, but I've never had a problem doing divekick, 2,1, cartwheel with Sonya on a pad, but as I said it's a matter of preference.

My stick layout -

12stancethrow (don't bother with stance and throw)
34blockempty

I like having 34block and 13 easily accessible to throw and for xray. I may buy a bat top and try that out, but I prefer the TE layout, the MK layout looks strange to me. Also, I envy everyone with 6 button layouts, what's the point of 8 button layouts? I can't find any reasoning.

MAPUSA I do Sonya's bnb perfectly on pad, but I find it a pain on stick.

I love the hitbox. It's my secound favorite piece of machinery.

........and what is #1?

 

[WayoftheFist]

I currently play on a pad. Working on making the transition to a stick though.

 

[_xFriction]

started on ps3 pad, couldn't get reptiles njp combo with it... went to pdp klassic stick got the njp combo down but had problems with other moves... went to hitbox and haven't looked back

 

[AeroGrunt]

Just started playing on a stick under a week ago. Never going back to pad, playing on stick is awesome.

I second this notion

btw. I use pad... but for Tekken i've been holding it more so like a stick player would on the button side. Using 3 fingers to manipulate that side. It is still an adjustment... but I find it terribly hard to wrap my mind around using a stick for inputs and movement.
