Now, this may not be the most interesting thread, but I have to ask. How do you set up your PSX/2 or DC controller (In reference to Capcom fighters a la CVS2 and Street Fighter with the 6 button scheme)?

A close friend of mine usually holds tournaments at his house, and the controller scheme has to be changed after almost every fight as it is passed from one person to the next.

I myself recall the old days of SNES where L was low/weak punch and R was low/weak kick. Y and B and were the mediums and X and A were the strong/fierce. So I set up my PSX/2 as such:

L1-low p
square-mp
tri-fp
R1-low k
X-mk
O-hk

I use the L2/R2 as PX3/KX3 if the option is there... or as some other device.

My DC controls are exactly the same as the SNES set up with the L/R triggers as weak and so forth.

Someone always gets questioned about the way they set up things... so I was wondering what you prefer.

I always use the default setups. I H to the A to the T to the E whenever people have to get fancy and mess the configuration all the time.

BLARGH! That did not compute!

hahaha j/k Juan.
I just can't stand using the top buttons for strong attacks. Since I learned almost everything about fighters on SNES (never got to the arcade much) it kind of stuck in my mind, and became what I was comfortable with.

Just like a certain someone I know who will only use "arcade stick" controls. *wink wink nudge nudge*

ahh.. I was only referring to controllers that are packaged with the systems.

But I have SuperNova from them.. their sticks are pretty nice, but I prefer controllers/pad (use my neo cd pad for my MVS muaha!)

I use the default set up. But I hate the DC standard controller. The standard PSX controller is okay. The DC arcade pad is great. For some reason I can't use home arcade sticks, but I do fine in the arcades. Go figure.

And Dr. Orochi, nice avatar. I thought it was funny how Cartoon network revealed Skeletor's face before the cartoon did. Silly silly CN. They also made Skeletor sound like some car salesman / rapper during the commercial breaks between the show. Silly silly CN.

ewwww
i usually can't stand default. drives me insane. anyways, here's what i usually use

-= ps =-

[] - LP
X - LK
/\ - HP
O - HK
L1 - depends on the game, although i usually don't use the Ls too much
L2 - see L1
R1 - MP
R2 - MK

kinda ironic i have the mediums up there, since i use them the most. but it's what i'm used to

-= dc =-
(sorry, i'm gonna use square, circle, triangle, etc for the dc too. i have no idea what the dc buttons are, haha)

[] - LP
X - LK
/\ - HP
O - HK
L1 - MP
R1 - MK

i gotta tell you, i really really really hate the DC triggers for fighting games. i get my ass handed to me in SFA3 and CvS2. poor Hagen de Merak. every time i'm over there and we fight, i destroy his triggers. you just hear a bunch of insane clicking, hehe

EDIT:
Ferrio, those are fking nice controllers. i've only heard of them. first time i've ever seen them. thanks for posting the link! god damn expensive but probably worth it

Ever since I can remember, my cousins and I have always had our buttons set up...

Playstation

[] - LP
X - LK
/\ - HP
O - HK
L1 - MP
L2 - 3P
R1 - MK
R2 - 3K

In the old SNES Days, it used to be...

Y - LP
L - MP
X - HP
B - LK
R - MK
A - HK

Because the K buttons were on B-R-A, we called it Bra Buttons and would always ask, "Hey, are they on Bra Buttons?" People probably thought we were kooky. (;

I set light punch and kick to the top two buttons (Square and Triangle on the PS2 controller) and strong punch and kick to the bottom two (X and O I believe). I set functions (i.e. taunt, 3XP or K for supers, dodging, etc.) to the buttons on top of the controller. I don't even bother setting the medium attacks because I never use them (I was raised on SNK fighters, and can't and will never get used to mid attacks since they seem fairly useless outside of combos)Same for DC and any other controller I use.

In fact, this thread is very interesting.

My controls are nearly the same as you, that is:

LP -> R1
LK -> R2
MP -> Square
MK -> X
HP -> Triangle
HK -> O

I usually use the R buttons to: R1, roll, R2 Punch x3 (in CvS2)

In DC, it's the same, but with LP in the L trigger and LK in the R trigger (At first, in 3S I whiffed many throws, but I land them consistently now).

That's all! Use the configuration that is the best for you. Don't adapt, make the game adapt to you.

For scenarios like this, the L & R buttons of any controller are my middle attack buttons. L1 in the PS's case is my MP and R1 is my MK. L2 and R2 have special functions. The rest is done in Justice Gakuen format. LP and HP are on the top and LK and HK are on the bottom. I have always done my set up like this ever since the Super Famicom days.
