At this point, I would strongly encourage you to get an arcade stick because it's much more useful for fighting games. Once you do, you'll never downgrade to those peasant PS4/Xbox controllers again l0l

That is a 100% true fact and i do actually have an arcade stick... for the 360 :/
It was purchased mostly for MvC3 and SC5. I'll spare you the boring details on why i quit but the short and sweet version is playing on a stick just isnt really possible for me right now and not just because i need a converter.

It's best to get out of the habit of using trigger buttons. I use pad and avoid using them as much as possible, changing the positioning of my right hand when I need to. The only time I exclusively use the trigger buttons is with Critical Edge and Soul Charge. Shame Soul Calibur doesn't have button buffering like Tekken does as that would make the inputs more reliable.

No, i cant do that. Not with a controller. I used to map no combinations when i played SC5 on a stick. Just A,B,K,G and that was it. Rarely screwed up inputs like that too. I dont know why exactly but it was just easier to hit several keys at once on a stick and it felt too confusing to use the other four keys for more inputs, so they were left blank.

Although, i'll admit that if i were to pull that stick back out and dust it off, i would map out A+B+K on one of the buttons.

Is it too early to want buffs for Tira? 😶

Not at all man, of all the characters with obnoxious advantage Namco straight up bullied her in the last patch lol.

Not a great incentive for paid DLC content.

They should do something about it, her tools against players that know the match up are beyond bad.

But that is a nightmare unless you have an arcade stick. Too many commands to fit them all on the trigger buttons.

claw style controller. Been doin' that since sc2. No shoulder buttons mapped except L1 being ABK so that I can use it with the left hand while my 2 fingers use the buttons. All 2 button presses, including AK, are easy as shit. I think this the simplest way to do it, as you essentially only have 5 buttons to press as apposed to 8. Less remembering and less management. You should try it, no need for arcade stick

Edit: and besides, I'm a d-pad lover anyway. Can't execute shit on an arcade stick

In general it's what you gravitate to. I do enjoy using an arcade stick but I simply enjoy using a pad more. It's not as if I have some knock off stick either as I have one of these. I haven't used it in years (MvC3 is the last time I properly used it) and it's just sitting in my cupboard. I'm in two minds whether to sell it or not as it's more of a collectors item to me now.

I forgot to mention that I am very happy with the ps4 d-pad. Since SC6 is my first fighting game for this console, the d-pad hasn't been properly tested yet under duress until now. I find it better than ps3 d-pads and things like 236 are much easier and more reliable.
 
I'm getting annoyed by this game's comeback mechanics. RE is one thing, but why the free meter from SCV again? CEs are constant now, with how easy it is to dish out lol

For fighting games the PS4 is a massive improvement on the D pad and buttons over the PS3 controller. I especially like how the buttons are closer together compared to the PS3 as you can slide your thumb quickly for those quick inputs and you can press the Square/Cross, Triangle/Circle together with just your thumb with ease.
 
So, I really like Kaine's outfit but I wanted 9S and A2's outfits as well. Supposedly they are working on movelist names, can we start asking on Twitter ?

They aren’t so bad if you know your opponent is going to depend on them to close the match.
I tend to only use moves that I know to be safe so I don’t get caught slippin.

My only problem is it’s hard to punish on block.
Taki’s CE especially as it phases and is safe from what I’ve encountered.
It’s like a guaranteed 90 damage.
That and her I think 4AB~ possession punishes make her really tricky on last round.

What makes her last-round-4BA trickier than her normal 4BA? Do you mean in SC?
Or the combination with CE or what do you mean?

And yet there is another reason I play claw style, slide inputs are super easy with 2 fingers. I still haven't mastered Siegs JF's yet. Things like AgA are also easy.
