I've used two but I have yet to use a PS controller. That logitech looks interesting, is the d pad special? I mostly see PC controllers with analog sticks so does this one replace that in a way? My current one I use mostly is a steelseries and is modeled after a ps2 one, but I'm starting to wonder if that is my problem. Also is your logitech good with the Shmups?
That's not an analog, just a d-pad (I've found pad analogs to utterly
suck at fighting games and I don't feel like moving to an arcade stick). Type "logitech gamepads" in google images and see that most of their gamepads have an identical d-pad, which served me very well (the notable exception being
this, which I don't even need to touch to know it will suck at FG movements, I'd rather avoid that shape of d-pad entirely, Logitech or not). The Logitech Precision I linked before is the cheapest of them that has that nice circle d-pad, but Logitech is surely not be-all-and-end-all solution. I've had moderate luck with Dual Shock imitations though (real DSs perform movements well), so if you want a no-name pad, you might want to get one with a circle d-pad and make sure it isn't too loose when going upwards, or you'll keep jumping when trying to 623. And avoid Xbox ones, I've heard they plain suck for FGs :V.
Also is your logitech good with the Shmups?
Sorry, I play shmups exclusively with keyboard. Might try in the future though.
Also Suika's last spell card is just crazy for me to perfect on especially when I'm using Alice, any advice?
Sorry, it's been a while since I played IaMP (12.3 veteran here), but as Alice you should propably just graze until you get an opening, hit her with j.5A poke flurry:
And get back to grazing. Don't rush it. Also, her 2-1 card (Return Inanimateness) should be highly helpful there, you might use it instead.
