Anyone played FFR with a Dualshock Controller?

[Patashu]

I've been thinking about it recently and it seems like it would be a powerful playing style.

Pros:
-Two d-pads means you can play like index but without getting your fingers in a twist
-Designed to be held and buttonmashed for long periods, as opposed to most keyboard's arrowkeys which are not designed to be hit in dexterous, arbitrary combinations
-Flat and close together in a circular pattern that makes 'bracketing' and circle sliding very easy
-Jacks get raped
-Can even assign shoulder buttons to the columns something like L2 L1 R1 R2, allowing you to play a spread-like configuration, thumbdex or any hybrid style depending on what you feel like.

Cons:
-Requires external keymapping software to be used (e.g. AutoHotKeys)
-Have to take it with you if you want to play on a different computer/takes up space while it's there
-double setup that's cheating man O_O

anyone have any personal experience?

Seems like it would be hard to get used to...

The way it's mapped on those videos makes it look like the guys is using 10 buttons to hit 4 arrows...

I used to play with a Dualshock when I started with Stepmania. I remember a Vertex Alpha AA back in the days. It's kinda hard to play with a Dualshock, my thumb hurts like hell when I do, but it's really fun.

If Circle and D-pad Right are both hitting the right arrow, that's Double Setup, which is considered cheating and not allowed.

Two d-pads + L2 L1 R1 R2 = Triple setup

Good luck hitting four arrows at once.

Re: Anyone played FFR with a Dualshock Controller?

Double-Setup with one finger hitting each pad? Really?



Yes, it can helps hitting jacks but... Really?

is double setup really that big a deal on ffr? how many files have tough jacks that don't also use jumpjacks or a big trill? (hardkore atomic ending, aim anthem ending, club ending, crowdpleaser dat trill, death piano dat trill)
well in the case of a dualshock specifically you can't hit [14] or [23] using one thumb so any jumpjack or trill on those columns can't be bull****ted meaning jackalicious fcs are still hard work

Re: Anyone played FFR with a Dualshock Controller?

I personally think double setup isn't a huge deal. The fact that we're taking a game designed for two feet and translating it into a game made for keyboard play means that a lot of rules are being broken already. Double setup is only useful in a few select cases anyway.

in dj max your thumbs can't 'cross over' to the other side
on a dualshock you can set it up to be like having two dpads, so each thumb can hit every column
