Topic: Do you know what makes me sad?

[Keno]

Control mechanics? Steering wheel, RockmanX8 PC, great fun.

Sounds like a blast. I remember when my friends & I were using dance pads to play Soul Caliber 4.

X1-3 square to shoot, circle to dash, x to jump. L1/R1 weapon switch.

X4-6 same, add giga attack to R2

X7 the basic ones...

Well, i guess I just use the default controls. they work for me.

Uuuuuh you can hit everything as you need to like that? How the [tornado fang] do you dash jump & use whichever weapon you need at the time?

Only  thing I do, is in the Zero series, switch R to weapon switch the weapon instead of the other 2 setable options for the subweapon. ZX I have it as R is the sub weapon.

Switch? SWITCH? How the [tornado fang] does that not cripple you immensely?

Ah yeah, I forgot about Zero/ZX control options.  I go for Switch as well, but ZX is rather clearly not meant to be played that way.  So in that one, Y for main, X for sub (R switches forms).  Other than that (and Command Dash off), default.

I set my form switch to X. I don't like doing anything more than 2 things at a time with my right thumb these days.

Charging two weapons at once isn't the easiest thing that way, but it does make combination attacks like HX's saber combo and OX's Double Charge Wave feel a lot more natural.  I just can't get used to using a shoulder button to attack (unless it's a Giga, anyway, and even that I stopped since getting XC).

Boy your dexterity must be bad. Play some Guitar Hero.

The Claw.

You couldn't be more wrong.  Using a shoulder button to attack just doesn't feel natural to me; that's a matter of habit, not of skill.

And you're not one to speak of dexterity when you know nothing of the dash-claw.

[HyperSonicEXE]

I don't know how anyone could use a shoulder button for an attack. I could hold down X and B, use A to jump, and use the individual Subweapon scheme (assuming there's no auto-charge),

But I'd really just as soon have R Switch. Don't give a [fourth chaos emerald] about Harpuia's triple slash, and if I somehow needed the rapid-fire use only the Subweapon scheme would provide, that's the developer's fault for allowing a Switch scheme, not mine.

i hold the controller upsidedown for snes/ps* x games >>;

[VixyNyan]

Dance Mat or Arcade Stick~

[Gotham Ranger]

I use the SNES joystick thing.

Beat that.

[Karai]

How about footballs?

I hold controllers in a usual way, A is always shot, B - jump, L - dash, R - subweapon (I can use L/R even faster than front buttons), rest depending on the game.

you know what makes me sad?

the fact that the game style matters more than the actual presence of a game.

I must agree.

[Hypershell]

I might have agreed with that if I'd never played Yoshi's Island DS.

I know as much as anyone about the dash-claw. I prefer clawing on the Saturn controllers; it's more comfortable. The whole claw is a bad habit, though. I dropped it years ago.

How about footballs?

Aww I thought it was gonna be football related.

[Nekomata]

Aww I thought it was gonna be Rugby for retarded manchildren who need to wear padding related.

fixed~

[Keno]

There's nothing wrong with keeping players around for longer, & plays a nice new level of depth. You just don't like anything that doesn't come in bags.

[Jericho]

I might have agreed with that if I'd never played Yoshi's Island DS.

Wait, what? Explain.

[Keno]

Yoshi's Island DS had an interesting style?

[Jericho]

I think it's the late night surfing getting the better of me, but it sounded like he was saying that substance over style didn't apply to that game.

yeah, and you don't like my awesome psuedo britishness, we're even

I think he was mostly saying style can go a long way, to which I disagree. I just want a nice set of new X games with 2D sprites I can get used to. Never was a fan of figuring out 2.5D's wonky hitboxes.

Canada's like America, except you guys got pity freedom from the British Empire.

[Hypershell]

Canada rocks.  It gave us a better view of The Falls, the best non-chocolate candy on the face of the Earth, and Colin Mochrie.  Plus five bucks American gets you a long way there.

My apologies, I read "the actual presence of the game" as being simply whether or not it exists.  I gather you actually meant the quality of its content?  Miscommunication there.

Anyways my mention of YIDS was saying that a sequel for the sake of a sequel, without considering how, isn't always that bright an idea, no matter how good of a base you're working off of.  YIDS adhered a bit too strictly to an old style, and the result was a good game that mostly failed to differentiate itself from a far superior game.

If it means no one died, then what's wrong with that?

I love you

...anyways, forgot to mention before on the matter of control setup; for the Zero games, I have R set switch weapons, the rest is left the same. In ZX, I just leave the default (with Command Dash off)

[Keno]

It's boring. Besides, the British needed a good slap in the face at that point in history. They were getting to be quite dicks.

[Solar]

the best non-chocolate candy on the face of the Earth

Those sweet, delicious, best candies ever are from Canada? You learn something new every day. Now excuse me while I go get more of those things.

[Keno]

Did you know kids smoke Smarties in the wrapper like a cigarette these days in an attempt to get high? They also snort pixie sticks, which gives them nasal maggots. Whatever happened to real drugs?

Haha, no it won't.
