MMM interesting predicament. Right now i’m playing Gran turismo 2 on psp just for some simulation. I own Forza 2 and i love it but I also have a soft spot in my heart for the GT series. I’m also itching to get back into the racing scene after watching Initial D. One thing that bothers me with gt5 is that there’s not many tracks. The previous version has more tracks. So do I get gt4 on the ps2 or the 360 verison.
Music games are quasi decent example but at the same time you know(in most cases) what input you need to do before you hit there so you can cue yourself up, fighters are more reaction time.
On reaction you’re faster piano-ing a move then specifically picking a strength or twitching it.
think about the scrub ryu combo jab dp fadc DP+jab then mk+mp then dash to HCFx2 and 3 x punches.
on stick it’s pointer finger for the dp, middle and thumb for the cancel then you just tap all 3 for the ultra.
on pad if you don’t/can’t map/use a px3 button. it gets funky when you to ultra and cancel. if you map it so that x and square a punches and triangle and circle are your kicks. it’s a hairy situation when you have to fdac. to the ultra. it’s not impossible but
also reaction time on cancels. you throw out a dp you can react quick to cancel it with more fingers than a thumb
Granted pad is way more forgiving than a stick (that’s what she said)i.e low blocking and ambiguous charges. Also many players start out on pad (hell I was on pad for a while till I started moving to stick)but there are just somethings that will be coming easier on stick vs a pad.
Maybe some chars flourish on pad?
I think the mapping is fine. I haven’t seen a stick or controller you couldn’t map with the options in 4.
He criticized the game was unfriendly to beginners when it was listed as causal because ‘advanced moves like two-button throws, complex link chains, and Ultra Combos make the game too difficult for casual players’. he criticized the menu configuration and the way the screen is designed. He’s a proponent of picking a function and pressing a button to assign it. That would be good but there’s limits to that.
Stick def has it’s advantages and if you want to get to use them then practice it. Mike (from episode one) was a a serious pad head until I got him a stick to practice on. He hated it at first and now he loves it.
