Why not play with an arcade stick?

I tried using snes score master (if you even consider this an arcade sticks) and i couldn't even shoryuken rtight. The Stick was way too hard to move and i was scared breaking it if i used it too forcefully.

-I do prefer grabbing a controller over hovering my hands over a stick and buttons
-Strong thumbs
-I am very very very used to good Dpads
-Never really used/felt a good one

>>3958245
This. Sometimes you absolutely need to be using an arcade stick (Zangief's spinning piledriver)

3rd party sticks are garbage. Unless it's got microswitches it's shit. Period.

Buttons in these and teh Advantage stick like crazy, and the sticks are mushy as hell.

would you recommend a hori mini? They do intrigue me for being inexpensive and small.

>>3958276
I found one of those for about 10 bucks at my local second-hand store.
I love it for MAME, the stick itself has nice and clicky microswitches, but the buttons are regular membrane type buttons.
It's too small and light to keep in your lap, however, so you'll need a surface to keep it on, especially if you're playing fighting games. The stick is also very loud, if that's an issue.
Make sure you get the PS4 version, I've heard the earlier models were pretty bad.

Just ordered one. OBVIOUSLY i don't own enough controllers. I guess it will be a good model for beginning to use a stick. Found one for 21€ new.

Hori Fighting Commander (PS4 & PC, DirectInput/Xinput toggle switch) has a 2.2cm dpad that feels great.
My preferred pad these days.

>>3958309
oh works on PS3 also

>>3958309
6 facebottons +4 shoulder buttons do sound nice

i wish the dpad on this thing was a bit bigger. i doubt it will perform better than my trusty N64 Controller + Mayflash USB adapter combo

I just had a major breakthrough in theoretical Controller science. I like a >2cm Dpad more because that is roughly how wide my thumb is and when i rock it from side to side it can rest in the left or right position without being slightly uncomfortable until slightly repositioned while holding it down.

I think oversized Dpad is way less uncomfortable than undersized Dpad. Maybe i can build a big dpad myself... i just don't know how.

Or maybe i can create some kind of Hat that can be put on a tiny Dpad to make it bigger while using the existing triggering mechanism.

Umm.....

It's already been thought of. Sorry. :/

The Dreamcast pad is unironically my favorite d-pad of all time and it's size is definitely a part of that. For me it's that it's tiny so everything seem to come out faster on it. I liked it so much in the early days I made a Frankenstein 360 controller once with a DC pad in place of the stock one. It was surprisingly decent.

So yes, size and shape totally makes a difference. Experiment till you find what's best for you. Some people love the Playstation type pad, I think it's the worst. We're all a bit different.

Not true, by the way. Stick is slightly better, so if someone was starting new it would be a good rout to go. But anything can work so long as you build the memory for it.

>NOOOOOO STAHP ENJOYING THINGS!!!!

>>3959095
I don't mind the dreamcast d-pad, but I absolutely hate its placement on the controller. It always felt like it was too low on the controller's face, making it hard to reach from the analog stick

>>3959046
og ds for best dpad

>>3958304
You won't regret it, I have a Hori Mini and it's a great little spare stick. If you find you want a little bit of size increase (and I did after months with just the Mini), I would recommend any of the universal Mayflash sticks. They aren't very good sticks by themselves but it will give you a solid box with full-sized button holes that you can then put your own buttons/stick/pcb into for pretty cheap

Top kek kid. There are no good first party sticks. There are many high quality 3rd party sticks that use actual arcade parts. You're literally retarded. Literally.

>no one has posted the genesis pad

best console pad ever made for SF desu. the 3 button has a slightly better D-pad but you'll want the 6 button for SF for obvious reasons.

>There are no good first party sticks.
There are practically no first-party sticks period, aside from the NES Advantage (which was just a remodeled Ascii Stick) and a few Sega sticks.

You're not implying that a Nintendo style D-Pad defines directions properly, are you?

>>3960864
it defines up down left and right, which are the only true directions

>>3959589
i had no idea how compfy it was. i started with the ds lite and then later bought a used ds phat for fun and never once used it. until now!

i loaded up a flashcard with a couple of games that don't use touch input that often and feels guuude in the hand. also i like how clunky it is.

>>3960868
Off your meds again?

>>3959095
I hate that damn thing. It's weird how love/hate the DC controller seems to be.

>>3959570
I'm fine with the D-pad placement, it's the analog stick I don't think is positioned well. I mostly used it for fighters though so the analog stick wasn't much of an issue.

>>3962457
Aside from the D-pad I don't love it. It's big and clunky, the UMD just gets in the way and the triggers kinda suck. But just for that D-pad I love it.

Vita has a terrific dpad, Sony is idiotic for not putting it on the Dualshock
