Smash TV joystick dilemma

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

JDFan:

Sell one set and buy 2 others that match the set you kept or keep them for another build later (whichever set you like the feel of better) so that you have 4 matching sticks -- Nothing worse than trying to play a game designed for 2 8-way joysticks per player with sticks that operate differently so that you can not get the angles\actions right on both moving and shooting and having two different sets doesn't make it seem like a fair competition between the players.

PL1:

There's a list of dual-joystick games here.

LMK if there are any corrections or other games to add.

EDIT: The list above is for 2/4/8-way (digital) joysticks.  Dual analog stick games are listed here with the other analog stick games.

Thx for the opinion, but what when I want to play let's say Tekken against 2nd player, then I end up with uneven joysticks on each player?

I'm trying to keep it versatile for multitude of games, so if I put 4 same joysticks I think I'm limiting myself, and I really like LS32 for shooters, on the other hand I'm thinking do I really need perfect TV Smash experience or just ok one?
I'm making a case against myself!

Honest advice - you seem to want a frankenpanel, so you won't be happy with any solutions. JDFan and Big10p gave you solid advice, and I completely concur with them.

Decide what you want to panel to do/be, and go from there. Make a 4 stick control panel with matching sticks for dual stick games, or make a LS32 only panel for SHMUPs. That's what I'd do. Otherwise, you'll just have a hodgepodge panel that can do a lot, but not all of it very well.
