Told ya so bitches!!!

Too bad the 360 controller sucks for fighting games. It' s perfect for the kind of games I like but fighting games is the one area where a dualshock kills the 360 controller.

Maybe Nyko or Madcat will release one of those controller converters so i can use a sixaxis with the 360 or vice versa. Damn that would be sweet...

Personally, I think depends on whether you' re talking about 2D or 3D fighting games ;).

For the smooth d-pad motions required in 2D fighting games I prefer the 360' s d-pad by far!
For the directional tapping motions in 3D fighting games like Virtua Fighter 2, the Dual Shock 2 gets the edge!

I don' t like the D-pad on the 360 for anything. It' s too loose and lacks definition, even navagation through menus with it is hard because it' s too easy to press more then one diraction at once. Often if I' m pressing " right" for example and it might input " down" or " up" .

Also the the trigger buttons are not ideal for fighters.

Maybe it' s just me, but 2d or 3d, the Sony D-pad suits me more for fighters. Which doesn' t really bother me as I don' t like fighters anyways and the 360 controller suits me better for everythign else.

Aren' t they about to release a Live Arcade stick for the 360? I think I might just buy one for VF5, if it' s actually any good (the stick).

Who plays fighting games with conventional controllers anyway?

Yeah, I' m a die hard vf fan, but I think that I wouldn' t have the same feel for vf5 on an xbox controller. The left and right trigger buttons are different. They need to come out with a more intuitive controller, and that' ll be better! But I am glad it' s coming on 360, that way I don' t have to fork out an extra 200 bucks for freakin' ps3.

A die hard VF fan who talks about which console' s controller is best?

Yeah, we all know lightguns are the only way to play Virtua Fighter... or something...

Console controllers SUCK for fighting games, especally console controllers with triggers. Ok, so for games like DoA it doesn' t make much difference but for games like Virtua fighter and to a lesser extent Tekken where you need to have split second timing, inaccurate triggers, funky shoulder buttons and analog sticks/awful D-pads just don' t cut it.

For VF5, or at least to get the most out of VF5 you will need an arcade stick. PS3 is definitely getting one and i' m guessing Hori will do a 360 stick too like their DoA4 one.

apparently either: your talking about the controller for fighting games, have never used a 360 controller, or your used to having your fingers crippled on a sony controller

King Majik has spoken!

I' ll stick to the PS3 version, my 360 will probably break playing VF since its a piece of shit.

still noting impressive graphics wise..can some one tell me whats with the green glow on fighters hands that ive seen in a few vids?

Dead Saint

Why dont you go into to the Playside and D/l the 720P videos in action.. VF5 kills everything when you actually see the game running.
