I bought a DC - Page 5

**Kane** · October 21st, 2003

The PS2 pad. Perfect IMO, thus I got the PSX > DC adaptor.

hey, can anyone rocomend a good pad for fighters, or just a good pad in general, i don't like arcade like sticks too much though

Well there isn't... the only pad for fighters is the official DC arcade pad, but since you don't like arcade sticks...

Not bad, but maybe you'll be best trying to get the PS2 > DC adapter that Kane mentioned... the PS2's gamepad is just the best for everything...

JuniorCRB · October 22nd, 2003

true ps pad are always nice though I don't mind the dc pad it comes up short in 2d brawlers, or shooters like ikaruga (not that the controls for that game is marvoluos and symplistic andt the same time)

nope, it's just that good

Herrrrmmm... I didn't find uncomfortable the Dpad... and I played for days almost non-stop

indeed, no blisters here, not even after literally DAYS of Capcom vs SNK.

I disagree, the Saturn gamepad was quite good IMO and I've already stated that aside from the analog stick the DC is a great pad as well...

Same here and I trained the moves in Shenmue/Shenmue II for really long periods

Takmadeus · October 22nd, 2003

I guess I'll give my long term opinion after I get that video cable tomorrow (yeah, the guy had an exam today so he couldn't go and return on time, so he is spending the night out of the city)

anyway.... can any of you post some pics with Maxi's moves? (man, I really love the way he swings his nunchakus)

i dont like the Dpad of the DC. and it has 3 less buttons than the PSX controller (good for MGS type games, or even halo on xbox). the saturn controller was good, it was a fancy version of genesis tho

JuniorCRB · October 23rd, 2003

Genesis was good but lacked in the street fighter department, as for the dc pad it's great for racing games.

**hushypushy** · October 23rd, 2003

yeah, any pad with those fatty triggers is good for racing (xbox, DC)

JuniorCRB · October 23rd, 2003

and gamecube

The number of buttons is dependant of how the companies use them... Shenmue I/II allowed you to do lots of stuff with only 6 buttons... Soul Calibur played marvelous with only 4... as I said, it all comes to how the company implements the game.

**hushypushy** · October 23rd, 2003

well, exactly. Super Mario Bros allowed fantastic gameplay with 4 buttons and a D pad. but they never couldve put Halo on Gamecube or Dreamcast without severely hampering the controls.

Kaiser Sigma · October 23rd, 2003

I think that the DC pad is quite capable of handling the controls of Halo... I played Unreal Tournament and Q3A and I had little problems once I get used to it...

**hushypushy** · October 23rd, 2003

well for one Halo has more controls.....and second of all, i didnt like the controls for Q3A on DC....i guess its all personal preference/hand size/ and tolerance

Kaiser Sigma · October 23rd, 2003

I never said that the controls were good, I only said that it was possible... if the creators want they can make/achieve whatever they want...
