Do you play retro beat em ups or shmups with an arcade stick? or do you use a regular controller?
>>11062559Stick of course. What am I, making a point of not having actually beat the game?
>>11062559these genres are very hard on the thumb if you're playing dpad.
>>11062608How?
What game
>>11062559I like to use a stick but D-pad is fine if it's my only option. Preferably the Saturn's.
>>11062609don't agree on shmups, but beat em ups often have fighhting game inputs
>>11062559I love the M30's buttons and comfort for them.
Stick for shoot em ups, but only because it is simply fun to move the ship around with a stick. Keyboard is more precise.Beat em Ups; probably dpad because I'm used to it, but this is a problem:>>11062608
>>11062559I use an arcade stick for any sort of arcade style game, because I own one and they're more fun to play with.Controller is fine if you're just playing casually, but a lot of these games are legitimately more difficult on dpad, especially when you get towards the ends.
>>11062559Arcade stick with seimitsu lever and buttons. tbqh a gamepad makes a lot of beat'em ups easier because of you can do special and dashing attacks more easily and with less effort. They don't benefit the same way fighting games do.
>>11062608You're probably using the ball of your thumb.Use the tip of your thumb.
>>11063098>a lot of these games are legitimately more difficult on dpad, especially when you get towards the ends.To me it's much easier to do a double tap forward or backward direction to dash on a d-pad compared to a joystick. I *can* do it on a joystick but there's a significantly slower speed by probably 30ms or so and it becomes tiresome doing it over and over. I don't have this issue in fighting games where I think my brain does it more instinctively. In Cadillacs or AVP there are special move inputs like going quickly from down-up+attack that you have to utilize very often, and those come out more easily on a d-pad for me.
>>11062559I would you a keyboard but since most of these are arcade or console only, my autism prohibits me from doing so.I don't know how to use a stick so I end up with a Saturn controller.
>>11063213would use*
>>11062559Yeah but I play everything on arcade stick. Action platformers in particular also play very well on arcade stick, although people don't always think about using one outside of SotN because shield-dashing is significantly easier on stick.
>>11062559I play them on a Neo Geo MVSX (it was a gift) with CFW
>>11062559For shmups, Arcade stick always. I have a thing for smashing frenetically the shooting button both with my index and middle finger together.
>>11062624Simpsons arcade and dodonpachi, id say stick. What say you, gentle anonman?
>>11062559autofire with my keyboard
>>11062559I got used to playing fighting games with keyboard from mugen
>>11063037Would I rage playing a fighting game with this? I usually use an arcade stick but there have been times when I want to use a controller and play through arcade mode in bed. Dpad looks really nice, I'm tempted.
>>11062559Regular controller. I've grew up with arcades, I still love arcade games but if I wanted "true arcade experience" I would play in an arcade cabinet instead of just using an arcade stick to a console/pc/tablet/whatever.
>>11064190Also regular controllers are much more comfortable than arcade sticks.
>>11064191Not for everyone, I get pain if I use a controller for any length of time but not using stick.
Naturally I play with my modded 8bitdo arcade stick
Unless you use sickYou didn't beat itDon't touch that padThat console fadArcade GamesNeed arcade waysDo what I saysOr your credibily Pays!
>>11062608Just use a better controller
>>11062559Stick. Mayflash F500 Elite with a square gate because I mostly play shooters. Love it but switching over from gamepad fucked my micrododging game because of the longer throw which I'm still getting used to.
>>11064067I quite like it, it's a bit small and of course it can't compare to an arcade stick... but as far as these controllers go, I think it's your best option still.
>>11062559I use a keyboard.>>11062567>If you handicapped yourself you didn't beat the game
>>11065210I love that this board still exists in 2014 where pads aren't > arcade sticks for fighting games. Do you guys even know about leverless controllers yet?
>>11062559I use my arcade stick on pretty much every game that would be reasonable to play with it, as well as many that aren't.I enjoy hitting big happy buttons, and I find that it's a lot easier on my hands. My wrist starts to hurt with a pad after two hours of an intense game, but I've yet to discover my limits on stick.
>>11065083Get a shorter throw stick, like an LS-56 or one of the new no-spin Seimitsus. Alternately, get an oversized actuator and maybe try an octogate.
>>11062559I've been using a keyboard since I started emulating on neoragex
>>11062559neither. i've actually started using my hitbox for other genres and it's actually working WAY better than it probably should be.
>>11065287>Do you guys even know about leverless controllers yet?Guess how many tournaments leverless controllers won at Evo this year?zero
>>11065765I'll look into it, thanks anon.
>>11064647While I think your opinion is stupid as fuck, the way you chose to present it was divine. Cheers
>>11066109I'm thinking of picking up one of the Seimitsu 70-xes one of these days, seems like it would be perfect for the genre.
>>11062559Both
>>11063772What game is OP?
>>11063037Ah, here comes the marketer.
>>11067039I'm not. I own the controller and genuinely like using it. It's not perfect, but for the price it just delivers and gives me that SEGA feel, I wish we had a bigger version come out eventually since it's a bit small, but that's about it for the flaws.
>>11065287Your gate memepads are not better than ANYTHING at any arcade games you fucking retard. Hitbox > Keyboard > Arcade Stick > DDR Mat > Logitech Wheel > Atari Joystick > Coleco Telephone Numberpad > your faggy memePad
>>11062559I use a controller because that's what the console ports are built around
>>11062559With a mechanical keyboard.
>>11062559Regular controller with an analog stick
>>11066407Armored Warriors. It also has a fighting game spin-off called Cyberbots.
