Well heres what this post is all about:

I would like to know if it were possible to create an easier controller for BlazBlue's console version of 360. I would have obviously bought this for PS3 an not have a problem because I thought it was an exsclusive. But since the news of it coming to 360 too,well even know I have a PS3,I'd rather by it for 360 because my friends are on there.Well I could ask myself why not tell them your PSN account and play with them on there.But most of my XBL friends don't have a PS3 also or the one that actually does says he'd rather by it for 360.I don't intend to buy it for both Consoles either

After playing various 2D games like:Battle Fantasia,Street Fighter,or Guilty Gear x2 #Reload,I've found it harder to play those games on 360 controllers(ecspeacially Battle Fantasia and Guilty Gear)than on a ps3 or even ps2 controller because of the main D-pad lay out or the anolog stick proceeds slower sometimes when trying to do half C then left or right attacks.

I have never used an Arcade Stick,cause I have no arcades around me.Nor do I prefer that as an easier way of playing 2D games.

I'm not asking for an almost Direct Copy of a PS controller,but one specifically for upcoming games like BlazBlue. Or does someone have a better solution for my problem or a better way for me to foward the capability for easier controls.

Well, there are several options I can think of for your situation.

1) Even if you don't prefer an arcade stick, I would still recommend it. Arcade sticks are nice to play fighting games with and is the equipment used in tournaments using either arcade cabinets or consoles. Once you get one and get used it, you should be playing fine. Xbox 360 Real Arcade Pro. EX or Xbox360 Fighting Stick EX 2 would be the choice for 360. Most likely, you wouldn't want to spend $150 on the SF IV Tournament Edition Stick.

2) The other option, if you don't want to get an arcade stick, is to try and buy the Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV FightPad. There's also different SF IV characters on it, and it beats the standard 360 controller in terms of fighting games.

3) The last option is to mod your standard 360 controller by grinding down a certain amount of the white ring that surrounds the d-pad on the controller.

Hope this helps you.

Damn, Invanex beat me to the punch but what he says is right.

Also if you look online you could probably find a converter but I hear they can be touch and go.

Hmm. I don't remember if the convertors are effective or not, but it would be kind of strange to have a PS3 controller and no PS3. Haha.

If you're used to using controllers then I'd recommend the SF IV FightPad. It works infinitely better than the standard 360 controller for 2D games, and you won't have to relearn how to play on a stick which can put you at a disadvantage until you get used to it. It's a lot cheaper than a stick too.

One tip if you do go this route: The initial shipment of FightPads has been sold out basically everywhere for a while now, and the only way you'll get one now is either by luck or paying probably $100+ for one on eBay or Amazon auctions. Mad Catz (the manufacturer) has said they'll be making more SF IV pads and sticks sometime in April though, so keep your eye on their website or your local game store or wherever and try to get a new one when they restock. The FightPads are a great buy at $40, but I wouldn't recommend shelling out anything close to three figures for one.

Hmm, is it wrong to say that i prefer a 360 or Ps2 controller over the stick?. If it is wrong, that is being narrow minded IMO. It's like to saying "everyone use the arcade stick or your a scrub!" and that one's preference over another is irrelevant. I'm not accusing anyone of saying this, just a thread i read about sticks over controllers on Dustloop (i forgot the original post title however :( ).

One other thing, why do people choose to play with the D Pads of the 360/ps3/ps2 instead of the Analog pads/thumbsticks? Unless of course that's what everyone means when they say the D pad sucks then my bad ;).

"What the hell is that?" "Its a liopleurodon. A magical liopluerdon charlie. It will show us the way to candy mountain." - Taken from Charlie the unicorn because having a magical liopleurodon are awesome, without one your truly miserable. By the way guys..................STARFISH LOVES YOU!

i don't know.cause i've never played in arcades(none in my area),I've found it easy to play with PS controllers.When I played GG for the first time.I found it easy to play cause I played bloody roar before it.So I was used to doing the half C or U attacks.when trying to use anolog sticks in GG,I found it harder to play than using the directional pad.But when playing my 360's GGXX#RELOAD I found it harder to play.And then Battle Fantasia didn't get any better(obviously becuz it the same controller).thats why I need an alternative than using stick.I'm looking for Street Fighter pads and converters.But you know before Blazblue comes out I'll be visiting my uncle in California(first time I've been there) and maybe I'll go to the arcades and try to get the hang of it.But If this Vacation gets cancelled. I will only be able to go in July 21.and BlazBlue will probably be out by then.

I love the 360 controller using the analog stick. It worked great for me in SFIV and I beat my joystick using friends. I don't really like joysticks.
