For you guys that have six or eight button sticks, what’s your time button layout? 
 

just the default?

AB

DC

 

I’m wondering how the following would be:

ABC

D

For me it depends of the game.

In some i go for the default layout.

But in others i like to use a layout i define as the 3buttos+special button layout, that is the one i use for BB, MVC3, GBFVS, DBFZ, etc.

 

I say you should go for what it suits you the best.

Just keep in mind the macros, unless you are using buttons for them.

You want to keep them easy to do.

I actually used to run the second option you got here when I started playing.

 

 

Then I got tired of remapping every time I sat down at a new set-up at locals, so I just always run the default controls now.

Thanks. I think I’m going to do the following:

 

BCD

A

 

It may be a bit odd with light slash being on a different plane than medium and heavy but it seems to make the most sense for all of the button combinations. I could put D (kick) on the bottom instead and use macros to help with some of the combinations, but I think this will be best.

That’s a good point. I could actually see me trying to go to locals for this game, but that ain’t likely happening for another 9 months around here

Yeah but, what is having to  remap on locals when compared to playing with the layout you feel comfortable? 

But yeah, that is something that depends on preference, and i understand not wanting to waste time each time you plug the control.

Yeah... Same here. But I'll never forget when I entered a tournament, set my buttons wrong, lost the first match cause my buttons were fucked, then I tried to fix them and somehow made them worse. 

 

Never again.

Sorry, but i need to ask, didnt you button check?

Or where you nervous for being a tournament match that you didnt notice?

I see what you're saying, and I used to put a lot of thought into my layouts.  but I've come to realize, unless a layout is completely opposed to the way my brain processes information, default layouts end up feeling comfortable for me after one or two decent sessions.
