Im not trying to make excuses but a large number of times i have lost due to the xbox dpad. When I play I do a lot of low jabs to stun my opponent and keep the pressure on but sometimes i will press down and X but the dpad says I'm pressing down back X. So i will suddenly do a special move which i diden't want to do and then be punished heavily against good players. This includes for uppercuts aswell, does this happen to anyone else because its so annoying.

People say the X box 360 controller is worthless and hard to play games with, though it is just decitfulness to me. I work very well with fighting games with that such equipment.

Maybe it's because I'm used to the 360 (I don't have a PS3) so I don't have a hard time with the controller at all.

Ridiculous. I don't even have a 360, but when I battle against my friend on SF4 or anything like that on his 360, the d-pad works fine.

Too true. I'm so used to the dpad but every now again when i try to uppercut and it does down, back, and sub zero's ice nugget shit pops out it's always frustrating.

Ive noticed a few mishaps when playing with my xbox d-pad. But nothing drastic, I manage to get passed it, and dominate. Depends on the player, good players do well, and get through it, sucky players dont and usually blame the tools they use.

Which do you think you are?

Don't try and insinuate that I'm rubbish, especially if you have never played a game against me. I was stating that the Dpad on a few occasions has caused me to lose games, not that I lose every time because of it.

Jeez people on this forum, there's always one who attempts to start a flame war or an argument for no reason.

In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 I lose at least every third match when played against an equal opponent because of the directional pad.

UMK3 is not for PS3.

I don't want to argue about PS3 and 360 but the Xbox 360 controller has been nominated as the best controller ever to date. The only, yet significant, flaw was the D-pad. I'm not sure about the new red and green controllers with updated D-pads though, I haven't tested them. I think Xbox 360 could have the PS3 style D-pad.

Don't mind the d-pad. Its only a pain when I attempt fatalities and I fail because of it.
