Improve your skills with Joysticks

So you probably’ve noticed that most of my entries where related to Beat’em Ups and the reason therefore is that I’m currently enjoying my holidays and so I’ve got enough time to play the games which where lying around for some time.
One of those games was SF IV which got me back into fighting games (like when I was about 12 years or something *g*).

So I’m playing SF IV hardcore on the PS3 and PC but there is one issue with both of the plattforms. (Actually there are two … cause the netcode of the game kinda suxx on both platforms) The native input methods on both platforms kinda suck to really play those kind of games. Algthoug the PS3 Controller is better for playing than the PC keyboard it’s still crappy for very precise input.

So the solution to this problem is an arcade stick! It takes some time to get used to it but if you finally master it you don’t want to go back to any other input device for Beat’em Up games.

To get yourself faster to better results with playing an arcade stick the people of eventhubs.com made a nice tutorial of how to use and play with an arcarde stick. So head over to their page and check the it out.
