Well think about it. A joystick is basically a giant analog stick with buttons.
Have you forgotten the meaning of analog (when attributed to a video game controller)?

Joystick = not analog, exact positions

darklycan I use the D-pad with fighting games, hell I even done it for the gamecube and that blew big time, however it was still more precise than an analouge stick.

If it works for you, then it's probably more efficient (and accurate in performing moves) than using one thumb.

executioneer i have only ever used a d-pad in a fighting game, and frankly i don't see how i could even begin to use analog

analog's too imprecise

Fathom Zero I play Tekken with the D-Pad. I find it easier than using the analog stick; it just juts out too far for me.

Courage the Cowardly Dog Back on dreamcast ALL my fave fighting games focused on the Dpad and I HATED it. ANALOG FOREVER!

Jeff The Ninja Well, I dunno. I use the analog stick as it is the closest to the Joystick on the X-Box controller. The D-Pad is garbage

timrpgland Joysticks and Analog sticks are not the same thing.
Dec 4th, 2006 05:50 PM
Jeff The Ninja I never use the D-Pad anymore. probably because its hard in games like Street Fighter to do Super Arts. Especially moves that require that you perform a 360 degree movement. But i usally use my X-Arcade. Gives me practice for my weekly battles at the arcade.

EverythingWillSuck Wow. I guess it just must be personal preference for me then.

I mean, I just got my first ever blister from playing a video game from that moment. It just seemed bizarre, since I've never seen anyone else play using a D-Pad.

I've played GGXX billions of time and I don't think I could even stand a chance using the D-Pad on that game. :/

Oh god. That D-pad is shit for playing SF2. Although the 360 controller is miles ahead of the original X-Box controller, I hate the fucking webbed D-pad. Otherwise, the directional pad is the way to go, asI cant stand using a joystick for fighting games, although it can be slightly useful for performing 180 degree attacks (like the red Hadoken). The SNES and the PS2 had perfect D-pads.

ItalianStereotype d-pad is the only way to go, especially for games like Guilty Gear. how else will you execute combos?
Dec 4th, 2006 04:55 PM
Zomboid I only use the d-pad for fighting games. I don't see how you couldn't.
Dec 4th, 2006 02:32 PM
tenno fighting games on the DS amke me cry bitter tears!
Dec 4th, 2006 10:37 AM
timrpgland D-Pad all the way unless the D-Pad blows.

The PS and PS2 D-pads were good. SFA3 is a awesome game. Ken is just unstoppable in that game.

thebiggameover unless i have a joystick, i use the d pad. and the ps1 d pad is the only way to go....

ArrowX I usual use the D-Pad out of habit, in newer games like Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO I used the Analog sticks.

Does ANYONE play fighting games with directional buttons?

Seriously. It just seems fucking impossible to even attempt.

A while ago I was at a friend's house playing SFA3 for the first time and jesus, my thumb feels like it's being burnt to a crisp. I was able to play normally, but it was just painful to execute anything.

I know that game's pretty old (might've been before the Dualshock, I could be wrong) but I remember playing Guilty Gear Isuka once and from what I remember, there was no analog option in that game (maybe my controller was fucked up, too :/ ). Thing is, is there anyone who plays using directional buttons, and how do they prefer it to analog style?
