Hey guys,

This is my first post - go easy on me.

I've been preparing for the generations launch for a while now - the final step of my preparations was to obtain a controller adequate for 2d platforming. (I despise controlling sonic with a joystick).
Upon finding other people using the "street fighter fight pad" I decided to modify THIS into a decent looking 2d pad.

After sanding, and using black vinyl dye, this was the end result:


It actually handles really well - I'm pleased with the tightness of the controls. Anyone else going to extreme lengths controller wise?

I bought one of these last night for the 360 for generations. I rarely play my 360 so I don't know how to change it from player 2 to player 1 so I can play the game normally, swapping controllers.

But in any case, I have a sega saturn USB pad. So I'm all set for the PC version.

Nice looking modification there.

I'm also going to use my Street Fighter Fightpad (Chun Li version). I bought it for Street Fighter IV but barely played it. Now it shall come in use for Sonic. They actually work if you plug them into PC as well. Although I found I couldn't map the LB/RB buttons to be 'C' on the pad - not sure if my pad is faulty or if there is work around.

That is the ugliest controller I have ever seen.

before or after? I really could have done a better job - I might re-do it in the future... finer grit sandpaper, possibly some gloss

But, now how will Rock and Triple H be able to help you take your... GAME to the next level? Yuk yuk yuk.

That looks like a good modification, but I feel the colorful buttons don't add up to the coating of the controller as a whole. If you could change the buttons to something transparent (if that's even possible...) that would be awesome.

As for me, I'm gonna be using this:



Though I need to wait till the PC version to test it, it works wonders on my steam games.

Niiiice it's the "I melted down tire rubber and coated my 360 fighting game controller with it" look.

[trakker]

Not this then?



PC sega saturn controller is completely compatable with the PS3

Yeaah... quickstep might be an annoyance for you as it's mapped to LB/RB.

lol - I'd definitely use it

I totally forgot about those USB saturn pads - I dunno if it would work with my 360 though :P

They don't. I would totally use one if I could...

Seconding USB Saturn controller. Having actually owned a Saturn I can say that the D-pad handled 3D gaming aswell as 2D.
