What control scheme do you guys use?

[Xapper]

I recently got myself a gamepad after playing keyboard, and to be honest, I'm still struggling. Haven't played on a controller in forever. I don't even know if I should be using the analog stick or
D-pad..

So it made me wonder, what do you use to play and do you have any specific configurations for yourself?

[Heavymetalmixer]

I map the buttons as a Blazblue default (on my DS4): P square, K triangle, Slash circle, Heavy Slash X and Dust R1.

I use a DS4 with the default control scheme. I just have SP unbinded and Roman Cancels set on L1.

Depending on the DS4 controller, sometimes I use the D-Pad and sometimes the analog stick.

PS3 controller default shceme expect to bind Roman Chancel to the R2. I use only D-pad.

I'll be that guy: despite what anyone will say about Evo players winning tournaments with PS1 pads, heavily consider getting an arcade stick (Sanwa's the preferred control scheme most fighting game players like but don't rule out Seimitsu, Hori Hayabusa stick/buttons, Korean sticks, etc.)

I used a Hayabusa for like 2 years until recently (pcb in stick broke it seems) and now I'm looking to upgrade the Qanba Carbon I got with Seimitsu parts (probably the LS-62-01 stick, PS-15 buttons). Using the default stick/buttons right now though, which aren't terrible but hard to go back to after using a Hayabusa/Kuro combo for so long. Still a hell of a lot better than using a controller once you get over the learning curve.

You can just switch the lever and buttons over to the new stick.

Hori fighting commander. It's a saturn clone. Default binds. I've been playing with the arcade standard binds since the first game.

I don't think the Qanba Carbon has enough clearance space to fit a Hayabusa comfortably without modification and I didn't really want to mod the stick (plus I don't have the tools to do that) since I'll probably end up putting it another stick in the future for my brother.

I wanted to try other sticks anyway, I liked the Hayabusa a lot but I think the Seimitsu's tighter feel would work for me. I'm pretty sure I used one once at a gaming convention and I liked it a lot. I think the LS-62-01 will be similar to the one I used back then, even if it's not the exact same thing. It was either an LS-62 or a LS-32, it was stick with a shorter shaft and I'm pretty sure it had an octogonal gate (and a white ball-top). But it was fantastical for shoot'em ups.

I use a PS4 pad and love it (using default controls, iirc). Was using 360 pad and hated it for a short while at first. I've tried keyboard before and I think it's potential is greater than the PS4 pad, but would require a long time of training for me, I believe.

I do want a stick or Hit Box (or both) eventually. But that's down the line, maybe when I get more money/new apartment.
