Capcom's 6 buttons vs Neo Geo's 4 buttons

[Agozer]

You just know a thread is/will be awesome when some people talk about the intricacies of the game mechanics in 4-button vs. 6-button control schemes, and in turn some talk about proctology and gynecology.

I prefer the edit control option.

I'd have to say the 4-button method works best for me. when capcom ports their fighter to the console, it always ends up with heavy attacks assigned to shoulder buttons, and that makes control kind of awkward.

 

Besides, Samurai showdown had heavy attacks too. All you had to do was hit light and medium for rthe attack type.

I thought all you had to do was hit C. I can't remember, it's been forever since I've played a SamSho.

That's in Samurai Spirits 4. In most others you need to press A+C, afaik, in which case C is mid slash.

[Skythe]

Ah, figures. That's the one I played the most out of.

Speaking of 6 buttons smashing, some SF HD Remix stuff:

Seems they -surprisingly- stick to good old capcom gameplay.
