I was never really a "joystick guy". When it comes to fighting games, I NEED a D-Pad! Unfourtunately, this is the only design flaw I have with Microsoft's default 360 controller. The d-pad is VERY imprecise. After dominating the 90's with Nintendo and Sony's awesome controllers, I find it nearly impossible to consistently execute my special moves in Street Fighter 2 Turbo on Xbox Live Arcade. As a result, the Japanese laugh at the mention of my Gamertag! Does anyone know of a high quality 3rd Party controller for the Xbox 360? If I'm going to humiliate Elgefe02 in Soul Calibur IV and Street Fighter 4, there can be no room for error.


I think there is something wrong here, Sony controller d-pads being awesome??? The d-pad has always sucked bad for the Sony PS1/PS2 controllers(I've never used the PS3 one, so I'm not sure about that one). The damn plastic in the middle and only the little four points sticking out, sheesh.

The Sega Saturn controller (JP ver./2nd USA ver.) was always the best one for me for fighting games. The PS1/PS2 controller pales in comparison. The nintendo controllers were also much better than the Sony controllers, but the Sega Saturn still ruled them all (for fighting games that is).

Anyway, you'd probably be better off finding a 3rd party controller, or even better a joystick controller that is compatible with the 360. Then you could use it for all the fighting games you might purchase. :)


I know, it's like you have 4 buttons and you press them. That is so mediocre and hard to use!


Well let's just say that whenever I bought a fighting game during the Saturn/PS1 era, I would always buy it for my Saturn(or import it), because I hated playing fighting games on my PS1 as the controller sucked balls. I've never liked the d-pad on my PS2 controllers either (the analog is fine though:) )

PS controllers = craptastic d-pad. I've never really used the d-pad on my 360 controllers, but I've heard bad things about them too.
