The MKX PS4 pad Depression Thread - This pad is a problem

[n1kosh]

I haven't experienced this myself, but a plethora of other people have. It's one of the biggest issues people seem to have next to not liking the D-pad. You're definitely not alone, dude.

I believe @HoneyBee had an issue with it before, amongst others.

I thought that my fingers are crooked

Mine was getting close to breaking i think. So i just changed it to R1. It feels SO MUCH BETTER. So my layout is L2 IInteractables. L1 Grab. R1 Block. R2 Stance switch. And for Xray i push R1, X, O. But now i use a PS2 pad so i do not have to use this horrible Pad anymore

Yea it already happened to me once too and I don't even play pad, just let friends use it when they come over to play.

Yeah I had this issue but I was told it only happens to older generations PS4 pads. Whether or not that's true, I recommend using R1 to block instead of R2. Better not to risk it.

Well yea, but luckily I don't care about the pad, and it's for Xbone users who don't really need to own a ps4 pad.

Don't have this problem. I use R1 as block and R2 as throw.

 

[buyacushun]

Why are people using R2 for anything timing intensive? I use the regular buttons (L1 and R1) so EX, Block, and X-rays happen when i press the button. Not when I press it hard enough. That messed with my ex moves and it's even worse when trying to do links in SF or certain specials that change depending on which two buttons were pressed. Everyone should just use R1 and L1.

Great thanks!!!! I didn't even think to use R1 to block. I'm gonna try.

This is the reason that I use arcade sticks only for fighting games. No matter what system I play on, the experience is the same. For instance, I have sticks for both my XB1 and my PS4 but I only have MKX for the XB1. At EVO, MKX was only running on PS4. I plugged in my arcade stick and felt right at home with the game.

I've tried going back to pads for fighting games but for the some of the issues you listed, I always found a damn good reason to pick up the stick and drop the pad. Arcade sticks just feel more natural to me for these games. @Pig Of The Hut, Nice meeting you at EVO by the way!

I can't for the life of me stand the dpad on ps4 controllers for fighting games. Giant thumb and hands + ps4 dpad = free.

And I have the exact same issue as Pig with the random Neutral Jumps...

Anyone use that universal mayflash adapter to play a ps2 pad for mkx/ultra on ps4 because the triggers on ps4 pad is starting to go out.Does the mayflash ps2 pad method still work?

 

[jmt]

U r a scrub if u can't use the ps4 pad. Get good.

 

[Knoterror]

Recently I've had a major issue with not being able to get NJPs like 80% of the fucking time with my DS4. I get a jump back attack. Driving me insane.

 

[Skellington]

People can't even load the game on Xbox, lol.

Wait minute... hold on a second... Pig, is that you ?!....hahahahahaha.... i always associate the pic with the name, not the other way around.... xD

P.S. the ps4 controller is shite, buy a stick, is the best option !!

I play on xbox one a little while ago I went to a local thinking I wouldn't have trouble on the ps4 pad though Ive never touched a ps4 controller before. I was mistaken to say the least I struggled with inputs and everything quite a bit. Not sure if it's just because I'm not used to the controller or it really is just a bad dpad. I honestly like the Xbox one d pad.
