ESL League, The tournament standard, and the problem for pad players.

To bad evrry1 on ps4 gets to play bborne and sf

Too bad SF is terrible and bloodborne is just another dark souls.

There was only 1 dark souls game that I know of and it was the best game I've ever had the pleasure to play, demons souls, dark souls, and now bborne looks different enough. No shields, diff. Magic weapon mechanics and universe, goid enough for me

Dark souls 2 was a knockoff game

And this is why things in the gaming world are subjective. Didn't care for Dark Souls even though I loved RPGs. Didn't feel like much of a story... more like a hack n slash.

Plus I've always preferred xbl over psn (and yes, i've had both)

You have to discover the lore through npcs and items

This playlist is a good interpretation, it's one of the most emotionally deep games I've ever played

So I am not sure if I heard right but didn't Ed Boon say MKX will feature custom banners (kind of like in Injustice) but they will actually give you slight buffs in game with whoever you are playing (For example one title may increase your damage.0 I may be wrong but I swear I read it somewhere and if I am right shouldn't we notify ESL about it so that it isn't allowed?

 

[TylorJockin]

If everyone just sold their PS4's for Xbox One's the only issue would be "I need a pad/stick for both consoles."

 

[Cibernetico]

Not really. Just get a PDP pad and have it modded to a ps3 stick. IIRC ps3 sticks work on the PS4 with no problems.

Confirmed by Boon to not grant competitive advantages during matches.

For any other Qanba stick users out there i found this guide on modding the stick over to ps4. Not sure if you could do something similar to xbox one or not, But i thought ppl might find it helpful nontheless

On a side note, Has anyone used a Titan One converter? was thinking about buying one for my Q4 so that i can use it on XboxOne and ps4.

Titan One - no noticeable input lag, seems the same as using a regular controller. BUT each time you start the console you have to use an authentic Xbone controller for the T1 to use the pairing code from it, or whatever it does. So - plug in Xbone controller, then unplug and plug in whatever device you want to use. And then you can't use that Xbone controller for a second controller since its using the info from that one to emulate the first controller.

A bit less intuitive than I imagined, but it does work

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

there are still a few great options, the titan one is great for the one, and this converter found here

http://www.gaminggenerations.com/store/accessories-xbox-360-converters-cross-battle-rapid-fire-converter-xbox-p-5160.html

I have never see this one before, I have the MK9 stick for 360 but I bought MKX for PS4, I've been trying to find a converter that works for this and is lag free. The only thing close I've found is the Titian and people say it disconnects after a few min Will this device work for my situation? Does it disconnect? Is it lag free? Tournament legal? and that site is out of stock where else might I find it? Sorry so many questions, I just don't have the money for a new stick but I could afford this converter if all of that works out. Thank you for this info BTW

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

ESL is a corporation, not really part of the "community" so they're pretty much going to do what they want, or go with whoever is giving them money. I agree that it's silly to have NA/EU on Xbox1 while Russia, Ukraine, etc use PC. I honestly think they should have used PC for all regions (consoles are less popular/more expensive over there anyways)

This may be the converter you're looking for though. It will convert pretty much any console's controller to any other console. Plus it's legal for offline tournaments too.

http://www.amazon.com/ConsoleTuner-Titan-One-Xbox-playstation-4/dp/B00LH5XZQS

IF YOU ARE USING THIS FOR THE PS4 IT DISCONNECTS AFTER 8 MIN!!! Sorry not trying to be rude I just don't want anyone to lose money if they don't know.

 

[MadPropz101]

I am getting an XB1 to compete in ESL, but i want to use a DS4 controller. Is the Titan One allowed?

 

[d3v]

Titan One is banned at EVO and many tournaments will likely follow suit. So people should take that into consideration when picking sticks (probably should get a PS3/4 stick and use the converter for XBone).

This one will not, only to the Xbox one for you. Ps4 is just ridiculous lol. I am still trying new converters and looking though. Ps4 is looking rough for average gamers to afford.

 

[Mr Aquaman]

And honestly the titan one works perfectly on the one in tournament mode. Something to look into, i have the ps4 fight pad and with the titan one it works on every system. So that seems to be a good option for those who want to compete on both fairly seamlessly

Ok, but i really need help with this. I'd like to use the DS4 across all platforms, and as i've heard the official XB1 controllers d-pad and button placement ain't that great. What should i do?

Well damn, I really want to use my stick but can't find a decent converter. Asked Gummowned about converting that was $140, Buying a used PS3 version of the MK9 stick is $150, and a brand new dual PS3/PS4 Hori stick is $150. So no matter what I'm too broke for any of those options. Thanks for your reply sir, and If you know anyone with a PS3 version of the MK9 stick that wants to trade for an excellent condition 360 version let me know

You are thinking to hard. Just add a cheap ps3 pcb to your current 360 MK stick and you are good to go. I recommend Toodles Chimp because it has a built in imp that will automatically detect if you are connected to a 360 or ps3 device and requires minimal to no soldering. http://www.godlikecontrols.com/download/MCCthulhuWelcome.pdf

If that is too much work for you. Just rip out your pcb and add in a ps360+ pcb. No soldering required and it will work on both ps3 and xbox 360.

As long as you're using the Titan One for XBox One and not PS4 at EVO, you should be fine.

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, but could someone tell me the differences between the HORI (PS4) Real Arcade controller Pro controllers? There is a Pro 4 one that is black, and one that is red at different prices and a Pro 5 that is more than both, what are the differences?

Aight awesome, thank you!

Edit: I just checked, and the Titan One doesn't ship to my country. I'm only available to buy CronusMax off of playasia. Is CronusMax also allowed for ESL, i'm guessing it's essentially the same thing as the Titan One?
I would also appreciate any other 3rd party controller recommendation with a good dpad for the XB1, i'm wondering if anyone has used this:

The problem with the CronusMax is that, aside from reports that it damages USB ports, it doesn't have a dedicated tournament mode, which is the main thing keeping it from being tournament legal.
