SF4 on Xbox360 - Is it playable?

So I know the xbox 360 controller is horrible for fighters so Im trying to figure out which system to buy it for. Id rather play it on xbox360 since it seems to be the superior version and i figure theres more people to play on XBL. Anyone who owns the sf4 360 version, what controller do u use?h575309

the 360 d-pad is a no no but the analogue stick works well enoughMacutchi

yea i like the stick too

Yes, D-pad sucks but over exaggerated.Master-Thief-09

If you don't have a fight stick, get the PS3 version. If you DO have a fight stick or you plan to buy one, get the version that your friends are getting.

EDIT also if you dont see the replay value there for yourself wait till it goes down in price then pick it up, at least then cheaper arcade sticks and pads will be available once they extreme hype dies down

The Fightpad is ok. I have Ryu, even if I'm a Ken fan ;)musicalmac

Console controllers > Arcade stick

Seriously, this arcade stick is HIGHLY overrated, and controllers have a much greater advatage. Fact. I can pull off moves faster than you can, and overall, react faster. The ONLY reason arcade sticks are used is because it's tradition to play a SF game with an arcade stick. It's the norm, and most people prefer NOT to break that tradition. People make such a huge deal over this arcade stick it's ridiculous. To the OP, you'll be fine with a regular controller. Just pick it up for which ever you feel more comfortable playing with. IMO go with the ps3 version, but again, which ever you feel more comfortable.

Unless you plan to get another controller, get it for the ps3. It is pretty much unplayable on the horrible dpad.BuryMe

It's very playable, anyone who says it isn't is full of itToriko42

I'm with you guys, the stick works like a charm

Well I originally got it for my 360, than traded it for a PS3 disc. And I gotta say, the PS3 controller is better, although playing it on the 360 was okay. Pulling of special moves and such are very easy on the stick, however, simple gameplay mechanics are not precise with the stick so you are at a disadvantage to any player on a pad in this respect. The ps3 dpad is quite good, however.

Igrappledwith the same issues you are for so long, the 360 version does look a little crisper, but you can almost never tell, there are points such as guiles stage where jaggies are present on the screen, but unless you play ultra close to the screen like anarcadeyou won't be able to tell. I played both a fair amount, but I could never get comfortable using the 360 controller, but I am very content with the PS3 controller now.

Pretty big Fighting Game fan over here..

The 360 analog is actually pretty good for this game.. You'll get an occasional slip when trying to perform an Ultra move but for the most part it's pretty responsive. I'm actually very surprised at how good it works considering the pad is abysmal for games like VF 5 or SF HD. I won't give advise on what version to go with but I will say that SFVI works well enough with the sticks to forego purchasing that expensive Hori controller.

The 360 D-pad sucks. I tried to play SF2 HD remix with it, and git really annoyed.

Any arcade stick player own the ps3 version of Street Fighter 4? I want to see how I match up using the the Dual Shock 3 against an arcade stick user. PSN ID: KillerWolf_7

I plan on getting it with the Madcatz fightpad, as soon as they are back in stock. Does anyone have this? What are your thoughts?HappyAppe

I have it and was suprised how good it works. The fightpad is actually a floating D-pad which feels kind of like a combination of the d-pad and analog stick. I have no problems pulling off special moves with it. The six button configuration is a lot better also and feels much better than the xbox controller or the sixaxis ( I have SFIV on both systems and fightpads for both ). Good luck finding the fightpads though, they are sold out everywhere and they are going for 100 bucks on ebay.
