Street Fighter 4 Pad – Is it Worth It? | istralive.info

Street Fighter 4 is the best-selling video game from Capcom, and is the latest addition to this massively popular series.Because the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game are both based on the arcade version, many players find it hard to go from playing in the arcade, using the joystick and buttons setup to using a console controller. MadCatz have released a Street Fighter 4 pad has been released to aid this problem.While some people will obviously prefer using the joystick, the pad that has been released is $40 cheaper, and is far easier to handle (a joystick is a huge piece of kit, and is not practical to use outside of an arcade). The Xbox 360 looks similar to the regular Xbox pad at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you can see that it has no joystick. It has a D-pad on the left, then six buttons on the right, arranged in the same way as you would see in the arcade. The pad comes with a variety of designs and artwork printed on it – such as a picture of Ken in his battle pose.The Street Fighter 4 pad has been deliberated designed to be slightly bigger, thus making it more ergonomic and easy to play this kind of game. Using a D-Pad to control your character is, in my opinion, easier to use than a joystick (although I have relatively little experience with joystick), and it is far easier to pull off those difficult special moves. The buttons are also a slightly different shape to usual, and have been designed with button-bashing in mind, meaning they’ll last a lot longer than normal. The only minor fault with this pad is that it has no rumble function, which seems to be standard issue with today’s hardware. The pad’s creators have since responded to this criticism, and stated that it’s because they wanted to keep costs to a minimum, and that most hardcore Street Fighter 4 fans (the kinds of fans that would buy specialized game pads such as this) wouldn’t really be too bothered by it.
