Title: Fightpads?
Post by: Custle on May 05, 2011, 12:23:42 PM
So, I've never been in an arcade, so I grew up playing with pads. I play fighting games also with pads and I'm looking for a good pad that would work on PC and maybe on PS2/PS2. I play also fighter on PC (mainly PC version Guilty Gera X2 #Reload).

One contender is that Madcatz's Street Fighter fightpad. I've read that it works quite well and it is easy to get work on PC, espcially the Xbox360 version.

Other option is to get adapter that I could plug my Dualshock2 to PC. This would be the cheapest option and Duaslshock2 works well for KOFs, but my own controller is kinda used, but still quite reliable for a pre-owned Gamestop controller.

Third option looks like this

It looks like shit. D-pad looks horrible, but buttons are quite well placed, but I've read even they are quite bad.

What do you think? Or should I just get stick? Budget is quite tight for me, but I want tome kind quality.

I'm not a pad player but I do check some out. For me, the best is the NeoGeo pad, which is available for PS3 and PC. The buttons are great and the tiny stick instead of a d-pad feel better to me. The PDP pad is a step behind the NeoGeo pad. The Mad Catz fightpad is pretty miserable. The d-pad is very, very stiff. If you prefer the floating d-pad style, check out the Logitech pads (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-PlayStation-3-Cordless-Precision-Controller/dp/B000O3E05Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1304608351&sr=8-4). It's a wireluess pad with a USB connection. I have 1 for my wife and it's quite nice. It works on both PS3 and PC.

I've heard that NeoGeo pad is awesome. Problem is that where I can find it. I only found it from Japanese sites.

I had one Logitech controller (Dual Action http://www.expert.fi/Tuotteet/Viihde-elektroniikka/Pelaaminen/Tarvikkeet/Logitech---Dual-Action-Gamepad ) It has very similar d-pad to that Precision controller and I have to say, it is horrible for fighting games. It is just so stiff, although I can pull moves more easily than using Xbox 360 controller.

Dualshock 2 has good d-pad. Espcially my controller has very slippery surface, so my thumb moves easily on it. Negative side is that on longer sessions, I get blisters. Once I played XI so long time, that I couldn't play it for a week  :)

I find it impossible to play fighters on the Dualshock. The Precision I have has smooth and easy action on the d-pad. Maybe it's just preference.

I grew up playing on PlayStation, so I'm kinda used to DualShock. Only problem I have in KOF is small jumps. When I just want to jump, it works well, but forward or backwards... no. Also the 360 motion is almost impossible to do, but not many SNK games have those motions, right? I could only think three games that have those.

Strongest contender is that NeoGeo pad. That little stick looks great and I think I won't get blisters while using it. Biggest problem has to be availability. I don't like ordering from abroad. Inside Europe is fine, but from Japan I have to think twice. They use delivery companies (UPS for example), so it is damn expensive.

Check out the Logitech dual action PS-style controllers. They're on Amazon for about $10-15. Really nice controllers. The Madcatz controllers have very stiff d-pads and I prefer the PS-style button layout more since I play with my thumbs.

I think everyone is forgetting the most classic badass pad ever: The SATURN pad! There's a USB version that works on PS3/PC and its VERY nice. Good for classic 2D games and ANY fighting games. http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Original-SEGA-Saturn-Control-Black/dp/B004VUBGBM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1304748635&sr=8-5

I'd rate this right below the PDP pad or perhaps equal to/above? I'd also say its worlds better than the awful fight pad and much much cheaper. Imo, the logitech pads are slightly above the fightpad but not by much.

http://www.amazon.com/Saitek-P220-Digital-Game-Pad/dp/B000075B5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1304748723&sr=1-1

This one is also pretty good. Also works in PS3/PC, and has a similar setup to the saturn pad. Very comfortable, very easy to use. I've rocked some Garou, 3rd Strike, and 02 on this thing for many years before getting a stick. Using a pad is perfectly fine, as there are tournament players who use them and win. Its all up to you, though in most cases sticks out-perform them. But its still a viable option and there's plenty of good pads out there. My favourite, and one I'd KILL to get my hands on, is the PS2 Sega Saturn Darkstalkers pad. Its near impossible to find these days...

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-m-49-en-70-ohs.html

This is it for anyone who'd like to see. A true collector's item...if you have one, don't ever let anything happen to it!

From what I gather, many pad users prefer the Saturn pad for fighters over everything else. I never understood why as the pad feels extremely flimsy and is very tiny in comparison to other pads.

I also feel that the Neo Geo pad is horrible. It feels great, but forcing motions just so they register isn't the best quality in a pad. I have owned over seven of these, and they all have suffered from the same problem. Usually down is the direction that dies out. I can't say if this problem is still around with the newer models (PS2/PS3), but stay away from these if you own a Neo/Neo CD.

The pad I used for fighters was a PS2 pad. At first it was horrible, but after about a year or two of breaking it in with CvS2, the thing became the perfect pad for me. I was able to do everything in all the fighters I played with very little problems, until about 2-4 years ago, when the pad got a bit too broken in. Now I have to force motions like the Neo pad, and even for the buttons in just to read.

A pad I think is decent right now is the Hori EX pad. The only problem I have found with these is that some of them will register two button inputs when one presses X/A and it gets annoying. I have used about 2-3 that do this, so I don't think its a huge issue (I could be wrong). This is the best pad I've used for this generation http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-3py6.html but its not available in the states (maybe the wireless model is).

Saturn is light and feels flimsy, but its durable and survives as to be expected of a Sega product. As for the NeoGeo pad? I have no idea, never tried one personally. The PDP pad was interesting, but I didn't play extensively on it. That Hori EX pad looks very interesting, I'd recommend somebody give it a shot because it looks pretty good. Hori usually makes their products with fighters in mind too.

As for PS2? I hate that thing. Its HORRIBLE for fighters. I mean yeah maybe you can pull off everything, but I've gotten so many blisters on my thumb from that d-pad its unbelievable. If my thumb gets blisters repeatedly because of a d-pad? Its no good. And I eternally loathe having to use shoulder buttons for anything.
Title: Re: Fightpads?

yea the PS2 pad did rip my thumb up to the point that it would gush blood. I had to hold it a different way to avoid that.

I found this controller from some shop http://www.polarpanda.com/store/images/X360_HoriPad_1_L.jpg

Looks kinda cool, but are those "analog" sticks mainly used or that cross shaped d-pad?
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: LouisCipher on May 07, 2011, 11:48:58 PM
I'd be careful who you buy from in regards to Saturn pads. I bought one off ebay from a Chinese seller, and the product looked legit and everything but the D-pad snapped right off after about a month.

Post by: DarKaoZ on May 12, 2011, 08:12:39 PM
I'm a Pad fighter and the best D-pad I had so far was the PS3 White controller, they changed the texture of the D-pad buttons and it feels great. It has great grip and everything works. You can just buy one and plug-it in a PC, you just need to download a program and it will work perfectly.

The Saturn Pad is also awesome, the only problem for me is that I play with the middle part of my thumb and when I go to the right side of the D-pad my movement gets restricted due to the little elevation the controller has besides the right side of the D-pad. The Saturn D-pad is the best for people who play with the tip of their thumb.

So, is there more differences between different colours of PS3 controller (DualShock 3). I have only tried Sixaxis controller for Soulcalibur IV, but that was three years ago, so I don't remember.

To me there was, the SIXAXIS I had worked great, then I bought a second controller (Black DualShock 3) and it was a bit hard to do some fighting games movements. So I keep using the SIXAXIS for fighters, then a friend bought the White one and I tested it out in a tournament. That is when I felt the difference, I could pull everything I was able to do with my SIXAXIS and it felt new. Then I bought one and it was exactly like that. After that I just use my white controller for fighters on the PS3. I wish I could use it on my PC but I have 64 bits Vista and the drivers are a bit problematic in it, but if you have 32 bits Windows it should work with no problems.

Well that sounds intresting. Are there major differences between DualShock 2 and DualShock 3 then? I know that trigger buttons feel crappy DualShock 3 and it is bit heavier.

The triggers are great for fighters, since they are really sensitive and you only need to tap them to make the attack happen. Something that you can't really do that well on the 360 controller. So I would say the triggers on the PS3 are awesome for fighters.

Besides that the PS3 controllers aren't pressure sensitive. In the DS2 you could press the button slowly or heavily in some games to do different things. The PS3 controller doesn't have that anymore, so the buttons feel more responsive.

Same happens with the D-pad, the DS3 D-pad feels more responsive because of that. But it's not a huge difference ones you get used to it.

Besides those differences there aren't any really. The SIXAXIS is damn light and the DS3 feels slightly heavier than a DS2, but that is because of the lithium battery it has.

Post by: Custle on May 15, 2011, 01:27:04 PM
Guess I'll go with DualShock 3. Easy to find and feels so familiar. And if I ever buy PS3, I have second controller already (my next purchase is PC).

If you are on the 360 only, then the PDP FightPad might be your best option. Here is a video review I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0Sb3wl0w08

For what I read, is kinda hard to get used to it, hard to do dashes. But that gives me the impression of the learning curve of a stick, which dashing can be hard to pull. It seems it's not the same as the NeoGeo Pad, the PDP tries to reproduce a stick on a Pad size controller.

If you want a good pad, I heard that the 360 Rockband MIDI controller D-pad was amazing. But the controller is not comfortable, since it's just a rectangle (like the NES).

I have yet to see one and try it, but I would like to hear someone else input on this too. Hope the review i show helps a bit.
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: the_judge on June 07, 2011, 05:57:13 AM
PDP pad is a definite learning curve, but a good pad (only had maybe 45 mins with one).
I imagine certain things like hyper hops and Rage of the 8 Maidens kind of motions are kinda easier on the PDP pad.
My personal fav pad is a simple PS1 pad w/ converters (non-dualshock version). But I have just racked plenty of hours on that pad, so I am attached to it.
In terms of recent pads, only one I really like is the Hori Fighting Commander 3.

This pad is the best if you do not have access to a 6 button sega saturn pad: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-3py6.html
Here is a brief review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUQZHdS9WXE&feature=channel_video_title

The PDP pad was OK, but it feels like there's too much dead space between neutral and directional inputs. Could be just me, but i stopped using it after a month. I did a brief review on that one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0tpLrTREXM&feature=related
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: the_judge on June 10, 2011, 06:15:36 PM
Well, I decided to pick up a PDP Versus Pad at gamestop to get more time with one. I'll admit, it is actually not a bad fightpad, just not exceptional. The buttons being very low on the face make the 3 finger grip shown in the Hori Pad video above not work so well. All the microswitches on the pad are very easy to actuate. One annoyance of the dpad on it is that it is very difficult to consistently perform command motions without accidentally hitting Up-Forward or Up-Back. This is because the Pad gives you absolutely no cues as to where you may have the dpad positioned, because the restriction gate is a perfect Circle.
If you were to try this pad, I would highly recommend learning how to determine which directions you have the dpad orientated when you input a specific direction.
In terms of improvements, they should have just kept the legs of the controller symmetrical, part of the reason I am uncomfortable with most grips on it. An Octagonal restriction gate would have been better for those who can't keep a consistent sense of what direction they are inputting. And in terms of the asymmetrical grips, the face buttons on the right could be about 1/4 inch higher to place your thumbs in a symmetrical position and effectively fixing the initial comfort issue of the shorter grip.

Overall, I give a 6/10. Would not recommend it.

Does anyone have some good recommendations for 360 controllers with a good dpad?  For reference my baseline of what's good is the Hori Ex Turbo 2, which I consider amazing... but I think it's out of stock now, at least every website I've checked including Hori USA say it's out of stock and I just bought one of the last ones available on Amazon for $80 (ouch).  I need something with 6 face buttons and a traditional dpad.  I know about the SF4/WWE fightpads but they're pretty cheaply made and I don't like the floating dpad.  The PDP pad analog isn't good for me either.
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: Cibernetico on February 02, 2012, 11:40:34 PM
Truth be told, I think the 360 gets the shaft a lot when it comes to pads for fighting games. I know some people have bought the Hori Commander Pro and dual modded it but that will rack up the bill on the pad big time if you want to go that route.

I recently tried the Mad Catz pad and it was alright. Almost felt like a Saturn pad but I've heard bad things about it. And speaking of Mad Catz, they are re releasing that same pad but it will be aparently 15% smaller although the dpad seems raised on it. It looks kinda goofy but I'll wait and see when it comes out to see if it's a good alternative.

And btw let me say one thing. I've been playing a lot of MK9 recently and I have to play with a PS3 pad. I really don't know why people give that controller so much crap. The one I play on is very responsive and everything I do comes out perfectly. The only thing that I would say about it negatively is that the triggers do sometimes feel very sensitive and sometimes I have to mash on them to get the input out.

I tried out the PS2 pad recently and I honestly could not deal with it. Since I play with the majority of my thumb on the dpad, I could feel that it would have ripped my thumb in due time if I kept going with it.

I've been playing on xbox using a MadCatz brawlpad (the WWE branded one...Couldn't find any street fighter pads) since like early May, and I like it a lot.  I used it for Mortal Kombat, and continued to use it for KOF.  I've never had any problems with the d-pad being stiff, and the fact that it's a floating d-pad doesn't bother me.  It took me a little while to get used to it at first, but I haven't looked back. 

As far as its durability goes, I've been using it pretty much everyday for several hours a day, on average for the better part of 10 months, and it hasn't had any issues...

I love my Hori Fighting Commander 3 for the PS3 for Mortal Kombat, and I started using it for Soul Calibur V, I actually pefer it to using stick, I may start using it for 3D fighting games in general. Much easier for sidestepping and various dashing techniques.
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: LouisCipher on February 08, 2012, 04:49:43 AM
To be quite honest I still feel like the best overall controller is still the Logitech Dual Action. Only problem with that controller is that the D-pad will die in about a year's time with moderate to heavy use. The D-pad is perfect and I've never had issues with the buttons.

The Hori Fighting Commander is pretty good. And if you have to have a pad that has 6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons than this is the one you have to use. But, the D-pad isn't as good. It feels a little stiff compared to the Logitech especially when you try to short hop in KOF. And for some reason it's harder for me to do Kara-throws in 3S with the Hori.

Biggest problem I have with the Hori is that for whatever reason Hori decided that D-pad can be manually turned slightly where you can set Up on the D-pad to be where you would press Up-Right, and etc. There's a lock that prevents the D-pad from being easily twisted around but that lock very easily breaks.

I would still rate the Hori over any Madcatz pad because the D-pads on those things feel stiff as fuck. Hitting any angle with that D-pad just feels weird as fuck. Add to it that the Shoulder buttons are pretty stiff too. The buttons are superb though. So if you play with your fingers as opposed to your thumbs like me you might get more out of this than the Hori, maybe.

The PS3 pad is actually pretty good, except if you use characters that frequently use Half Circle motions. It just feels awkward to pull off, and the D-pad has a rough texture on it that wears down your thumb.

I've never used that remodeled 360 pad that supposedly has a better D-pad.

I bought a Saturn pad off Ebay for $35 about 3 years ago and the D-pad snapped off after about a month of use.

I honestly think Logitech should make a more durable pad made for fighters. I'd pay $45 for that easily.

Post by: hiltzy85 on February 08, 2012, 06:00:20 PM
those logitec PC gamepads are so bad...I've had three in the past, and none of them lasted longer than 6 to 8 months.  They all developed terrible ghosting with the left analogue, and the d-pad would often stop working altogether, and I was only using them to play NHL07 and NHL08 on PC.  It's not like I was beating them up playing fighting games.

Maybe I just got unlucky a bunch of times, but I greatly prefer the madcatz pad, personally

Get the fighting Commander 3. Avoid the pro version because the D-pad will keep slipping out of place.

Today, I ordered one of the new madcatz SFxT fightpads.  Apparently it is 15% smaller than the old fightpads.  I thought it was time to upgrade from my current one, due to Ryu, Ken, Kazuya and Nina basically being cooler than HHH and the Rock (that is who is on my current pad).

Hopefully it performs just as well...
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: Cibernetico on February 21, 2012, 12:57:28 AM
You know, now that I think about it, I think it would just be beneficial to all pad players to mainly play on a PS2 pad with converters or find a Saturn pad. I say that because it seems that no matter what, the PS2 pad is the one always seen being played by top pad players. but that's just my opinion of course.
Title: Re: Fightpads?
Post by: hiltzy85 on February 27, 2012, 07:09:54 PM
I agree that it's a pretty good pad (PS2), but I just don't like the feel of the dpad on it.  I get blisters from it a lot faster than I do with other pads.  To be fair, it might just be because my callus developed in a different spot on my thumb from using a madcatz fightpad for so long

Just want to reiterate: Avoid the Hori Fighting Commander 3 Pro (only the Pro version). I've owned the controller for just under 6 months now and not only does the D-pad slip out of place but now it's starting to stick and hold in a direction. What a waste of $40.

I'm a stick player, but I recently got a Hori Fighting Commander 3 Pro for my birthday, because using stick at night disturbs my partner's sleep due to the noise, and I'm up all night w our new baby all the time now. It's *great* - easily the best pad I've ever used in my life, although I will say this - playing KOF on it is a real pain for me, I have a hard time being accurate with my jumps and hops on anything but a stick, but that's probably not the pad's fault so much as my ineptness with pad. Using the Dual Shock 3 makes me want to throw the thing across the room, this one's soooo much better!

Try the reverse Hyper Jump method to get hops out. Basically jump, then quickly hit down as you jump. Takes a while to get used to it on a pad.
