Keyboard or controller??

[mwalter482]

If you only have a mouse and keyboard can you play this, or is it exclusively for controllers?

it's considered a fighting game, so it's best to play with a controller

hell no, unless youre saying arcade style controller, the keyboard is better than a basic controller.
I would not worry, they are the best Japanese company making ports to PC
sorry for my english.

arcade is ok, but a controller like the one of xbox or ps4 plays like ♥♥♥♥, I know because I have one, with a keyboard is much more easy to do the movements, you have 3 fingers in wasd so you can relase hadoukens more fast for example, obviously you need a good keyboard with antighosting.

tbh guys the best controller is the one you feel more comfortable with, i've seen people playing super good with a dualshock and keyboard.

How playable is this with an Xbox controller? I've played Guilty Gear with mine before, but it really hurts my hands after a while.

Thanks for all the help haha I was mainly wondering if just my keyboard would work cos I can't afford a controller atm. Like I was playing naruto with my keyboard the other day and it was atrocious because they had no premade keyboard layout

Either set up your keyboard to work like a Hitbox layout or just buy a HORI stick for like $40

"Keyboard" means nothing. If you have cheapest keyboard with ghosting issues you can't play even with all those hotkeys. If you have proper gaming keyboard or at least more or less comfortable keyboard without ghosting then it's the second best thing after high quality arcade stick.

X360 controller d-pad is one of the worst for fighting games, only DualShock 2-3 d-pads or bad 3rd party controller d-pads are worse.

For me it's Arcade stick ->good keyboard-> Sega Saturn pad (and similar controllers for modern systems) -> Sega Genesis pad -> DS4 ->X360 -> unplayable 3rd party cheap controllers. At least for Capcom/SNK/ArcSys 2d fighters.

Sony did a really good job on DS4 d-pad. No more blisters, 100% success on special moves and combos (using L/R triggers in originally 6 button games like SF etc. isn't that great for me though, Guilty Gear/BlazBlue/KOF is a different story)

Get a hitbox its the best. Plus its the closest to a keyboard.

the ♥♥♥♥? controller is far from bad. a lot of pros use pads.

Fightstick is supreme for fighting games.

Being an old video games player has its weakness : I started to play arcade games.. with real joystick !
I can't play a fighting game without a joystick.
I Can't place "special moves" with a joypad !

I's a question precision.. With a joypad, I'm cramped rapidly .. :-(
Best advise : try to play with a joypad and a joystick.. See for yourself, what's really "kicking" for you.

find yourself a arcade stick, worst thing you can do is play this game with a controller (kids hardware), if dont want a arcade stick a professional keyboard and mouse will work good with macros
