street fighter IV on standard xbox 360 controller

[Bmalcombb]

I dont know if anyone else is looking forward to this game as much as i am, but i realised something whilst pondering the wonders of the street fighter behemoth. it requires 6 buttons. xbox controller only has 4 face buttons. how is this going to translate when i want to play this game and i cannot afford the extra R400 - R500 for the special controller being released for this game.

just a thought

Maybe use the back buttons? Or a combination of the face buttons?

 

[Bmalcombb]

i suppose you could

just awkward i guess

The dpad on the 360 controller sucks though. Don't know how thais one will work out.

 

[Rosaudio]

Yeah was gonna ask, how you gonna use that crap d-pad though?

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Rather use analog then? Also, I think the shoulder and trigger buttons would be added into the face-button mix... DOA4 worked wonderfully with analog. Haven't played any other fighters on the 360 though.

make the shoulder buttons, weak punch and weak kick

then, the four buttons:

medium punch, strong punch
medium kick, strong kick

I've been playing street fighter like that since the mega drive days, hardly ever use the weaks anyway, maybe just for a slow fireball, I'm sure www.lagza.co.za or www.shoryuken.com would more info on this kinda issue.

I'd buy the PS3 version just for the superior D-Pad. But anyway, back to your question: On Street Fighter 2 HD the two back buttons are used for the strong attacks while the 4 face buttons are used for the weaker attacks.

shot guys

it kinda makes sense

i had DOA 4 and virtua fighter and they worked well

so this should tranlate ok

i hope

this game carries a hefty price tag for a fighting game

just wanted to make sure
