That is not relevent. It has nothing to do with droping combos. You drop combos because you have to input very fast and your coordination slips or because your timing gets off.

Here he talks about of jumping instead of going forward. Nothing complicated. That doesn't happen because of a slight misdirection. You have to be seriously off for that.

Maybe a $150+ stick does have snappy gates that make it clearer.

But I could also just use arrow keys on a keyboard. It is not an inferior control option. The only reason I stopped using it is because it doesn't transfer to PS4.

The thing is, apparently, you never used a proper fightstick and make comparisons which is not really honest.

I started playing SF 4 on my keyboard ( a good one without ghosting), daily for something like 2 weeks. Won matches online . It works alright, but it can be hell with some character types.

Bought the Mad Catz TE after that and after a little bit of getting used to...well now playing a fighter on a keyboard would feel like diping my hands in a clogged toilet.

it happens to everyone, some stick are more lenient than others, that is all. if you can't use a keyboard/hitbox, it only shows that you are not capable, nothing toilet related. If you need expensive ♥♥♥♥ to play normally it only shows your snoby inhabilities. nothing more.

no get a controller, fight sticks are only if you wanna virgin no life a fighting game.

Keyboard is actually a very viable way to play fighting games so long as you're willing to get past the initial learning curve and so long as your keyboard does not have any ghosting issues, because that will hinder your gameplay.

there is an embedded application at the top of this page where you can test to see if your keyboard has any ghosting issues:

That being said, I'm a big fan of arcade sticks and I think a good arcade stick is worth investing in. The cheap crap is not worth it. If you know its something you'll really enjoy and put time into then spending $150 on a stick is completely worth it.

Nope.

Keyboard is nightmare to play fighter.

The initial learning curve might be a bit harder than using a controller or a stick but keyboard is VERY viable for fighting games, so it pains me when I see people saying this when they don't really 'get it'.

A keyboard is like a hitbox in a lot of ways and they're both very optimal ways to input commands for a fighting game. Fighting games like this work off digital inputs (on or off) so button presses are actually extremely optimal.

"bit harder" There is a reason almost no one uses keyboard in fighting games like this. It is too complex and not comfortable to play with. The controllers are small comfortable and easy to learn combos with etc. I would always say get a controller when you are playing a game like this and dont use keyboard.

Maximilian Dood said DBFZ is best played with a PS4 controller sameway Injustice 2 and MKX is best played with controllers.

These games including DBFZ was designed around controllers which is important to note. These are NOT arcade cabinet games these are profit making home console games. Therefore it MUST be designed around controllers since controllers are mainstream.

It's essentially just like using a hit box. I'm not saying people should play keyboard over other peripherals, but if someone wanted to then there's no reason not to because they are very optimal for how the inputs in these games work.

It's certainly not as intuitive as using a controller or even an arcade stick, but they can definitely be viable.

He literally said he prefers playing this on an arcade stick, lol.

And it's still personal preference.

You can play this game on any controller you want. It's made to be easy for people who don't play fighters to pick up and enjoy. An arcade stick will give you no advantage, but if you really want to learn to use one, then by all means go for it. Just beware that it has a much higher learning curve than a gamepad.

I'd say get either a controller or a fight stick. Fighting games are usually played better with one of the 2, which one comes down to preferences. However M&K( or keyboard to be more accurate since you rarely will use a mouse for a fighting game xD) is just a nightmare, at least imo.

okay that helps i assumed so but i was also thinking does M&K a give u advantage since like for example it kinda like as far as directional input anbd movesets cuz i guess u have more control it just feels like every forum i go to gives contradicting statements about this.... and im really thinking about puting alot of hours into this game

Xenoverse DID have M+KB and for me it was fine.

so guys my gut is telling me to get a fight stick from what i understand that yes M&K is a viable option but it just seems to me i that even if i put time and effort into learning how to use the m&k i still feel like i would always be playing at a disadvantage even if i become godly with M&K from the info i read online and in this discussion i just feel like ur merely just limiting ones potential... so any recomendations on fight sticks i rather not buy this game and buy a 150$ controller at the same time it seems like such a huge splurg but i rather not get a crappy one as well. i dont want anything fancy just something that gets the job done well

Dude just get a playstion or Xbox controller. I use My PS4 Controller Tekken and Street Fighter and INjustice and kof and everything ♥♥♥♥♥
im no the greatest but mind you a guy won a fighting tornoment with a PS1 Controller so anything is possible

Buying a fight doesn't make you better at fighting games you know. Just play with the gamepad where you are most comfortable with.

[Kawalorn]

I play every fighting game on keyboard and IMO it's much better than any pad.

Pads are sub-optimal IMO because using the analog stick is greatly inaccurate and I have yet to find one with d-pad that does not makes my fingers hurt quickly. I also find D-pads to be quite slow in use.

Keyboard is pretty much a Hitbox controler (which is very popular in tournaments settings) with more buttons, so anyone saying it's bad just doesn't know what they are talking about.

So yeah for me it's either an arcade stick or keyboard.
