[quoteost_uid0="SSJKarma"]keyboard is always better then the joysticks !

here is why !
KEYBOARD
- accurate
- precise
- easier to manipulate
- priority over all other INPUT except for mouse

JOYSTICK
- precise
- if 8-way pad (round) too accurate make it difficult to play games
- if 4-way pad (4 separate arrows) it is accurate enough
- not manipulated easily (one way to hold)
- is almost last in INPUT priority, which makes a delay in response time !

overall... keyboard will always be better !
don't believe me... try playing some fighting game with the keyboard and then play with the joystick you are the most accustomed to. you'll notice how hard you will have problems with your joystick that you didn't have with you keyboard !

also... some statistic i made with a friend !
GAME KEYBOARD JOYSTICK
WIN % WIN %
DBZ : HYPER DIMENSION 75% 25%
GW : ENDLESS DUEL 60% 40%
MSH VS STREET FIGHTER 65% 35%
XM VS STREET FIGHTER 70% 30%
MARVEL SUPER HEROES 65% 35%

that's enough !
my friend and i are about the same in fighting techniques and skill, its almost always 50/50 on a console !
when i left the joystick and took the keyboard.
the role were inversed. but i was winning more because he wasn't accustomed to my GAMEPAD PRO !

so you see, its almost always better to have the keyboard if you want the advantage over a gamepad ![/quote]
:angry: always a whole story u should write less

Key Board for computer: better control. easy to use. (BUT made a few buttons jam) but thats all.
Key board for console: ( Cant explain)

Joystick for computer: really slow sometimes, hard to use when there's lag.
Joystick for console: Maybe they belong together to get more easy control. (With lag or not)

So i go with keyboard :laughlong:

ur stupid karma .. u LIKE keyboard because ur use to it, ur use to play xmen online .. since it doesnt support game pad,

one of the things that keyboard make u a sucky player on fighting games is that if ur opponent is really fast to attack he will attack ur down defence and then ur screwed. ive already tried both (keyboard and gamepad) and i thought that keyboard was better and in a way it is, but playing with a keyboard ur gonna be slow

be4 my skills with keyboard were 40%
now my skills went up to a 90% with a gamepad

so u dont kno wut your talking about gamepad is way better than the keyboard and the ones that voted for keyboard = dont kno anything.. u guys are used to play xmen online thats all

try something different and ull see that in a fighting game speed and skills is what it counts ..
