I'm a sucker, a little fucker.
So, uh, just for shits, I listed my pre-order Bison code on eBay. I set it to a $5 bid then put a Buy It Now price of $40. Some dude bit on the $40, which is wayyy too much. The guy only has 3 feedback, but at a 100%. I'm tempted to go through with it, but man, this seems like such a scam since eBay doesn't have seller protection.

I would never trust ebay/paypal for digital transactions like that - he can simply report you afterwards as providing a bad code (even if that's an outright lie) and get all $40 back.

ps2 pad once you've broken in the dpad. ps3 is about equivalent if you don't care about the triggers being throttles instead of buttons.

if you're gonna get a fancy hori pad with the six button layout you may as well save your money and just buy a sega saturn controller + converter, the dpad is equally garbage on both

I mean the controller isn't going to change much. If you already paid for a decent stick you should just keep practicing (besides SF5 isn't really an execution heavy game or anything, if you're just having trouble with the motions you'll get the hang of it with some practice)

Maaaannn I can't wait for the March update. I really want trial mode and a trip to Jazzy NYC.

Speaking of, they've been pretty radio silent regarding the new characters. Granted, we know who they are, but if the current cast is any indication, they're likely extremely different from previous incarnations but we're not sure how. Alex was like my most wanted character after Karin and I'm dying to see how he plays.

I'm hoping that Guile and Balrog are still charge characters and Urien still has some form of Aegis Reflector.

I had a hard loving time doing 360s and 720s on d-pads (I use analog sticks for those if I'm playing on a pad) and a lot of stuff like Guile\Vega's old super motion (charge db, df, db, uf) is hard as hell for me on a pad while on a square gate stick, it's easy as pie. I also think it's easier doing DPs on a square gate. But that is just me and YMMV. Plenty of good players play with pads.

I could just as easily see it being his V trigger and being mechanically similar to the 3s reflector.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Even discounting unblockables, Aegis is entirely too powerful to be a vtrigger in SF5. You already have rough equivalents with Rashids tornado which leads to one mixup with generally low reward and Dhalsims which has high potential reward but doesn't actually lock you down. Aegis locks you down and always guarantees two mixups, the first with huge reward and the second with low reward.

So either a Real Aegis will be his super or we'll get a lovely Aegis as his vtrigger.

My posts/the responses on pg 780 of the general fighting game thread for links to a silent stick and washers for buttons, the buttons are pretty well dampened after and the stick is ridiculously quieter. I grabbed em for when my wife is sleeping a couple rooms over, would definitely recommend.
