Re: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for theplaystation
Personally I play better with a controler, but I prefer the joystick for the simple pleasure it brings for reminding me of the countless hours spending in arcades when I was a teen.

Though honestly, I prefer the original playstation controllers from anything else. Once you have that, you don't need anything else nless you play at tournament levels for a lot of games. And even then, a lot of tournaments use standard controllers, like EVO, which is the biggest fighting game tournament around. - Original Message - From: Johnny Tai johnnyti...@shaw.ca To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 8:27 AM Subject: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for the playstation Just a heads up on this product.

Re: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for theplaystation
The MadCats fightsticks are some of the best around. So no, I doubt these were made by them. If it ends up being blokced... it's not the dpad's fault, or oyur fingers. if the attack is blocked then it's blocked. The motion has nothing to do with it. Ans it might be easier to do the 360 motions with a stick, but the two 720 degree ultras have nothing to do with the stick. lol. There's mechanics stuff from gameplay that effects that too. - Original Message - From: Orin orin8...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for theplaystation Was this made by Madkatz?

Re: [Audyssey] king of fighters anniversary joystick for theplaystation
Hi Orin and all. I have to agree with Clemant here, in my admitedly limited experience with SSFIV I find it much more consistant to use the d-pad to pull off moves. Mind you I am still trying to learn to use the stick to do them sometimes just for flexibility's sake and to see if any are easier to do that way but so far this has not proved to be the case.
