Yes, you can do it through Steam "Big Picture Mode" if you're playing on steam. I don't think you can if you're playing directly through uplay.Originally Posted by MassiveD. Go to original post
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about uplay.

I am in fact playing on Uplay, Joy2Key perhaps, has Ubisoft said anything is it legal or not to use J2K with their games?Originally Posted by Braegulfer Go to original post
Currently it is impossible to do fainting with a gamepad, as you need your right thumb on the stick, while feinting is the B key, which is the furthest away from the stick, it's simply not possible to perform feinting with original setup

If that was the case you'd never be able to counter gb either.Originally Posted by MassiveD. Go to original post
The above statement is not true.

Well, he may be using a scuff controller like I am which allows us to rebind guardbreak and dodge to underslung paddles (beneath the controller) so we only need to leave the right analog to feint. I re-bound feint to clicking the r-stick for awhile, but ended up prefering it in its default location.Originally Posted by yenboi3025 Go to original post

yes. you cant feint at all if you're using gamepad. oh wait.no,you can
those treads about controls is just silly,if that would be the case there would be no reason to play with controller over kb&m
but almost every top player plays with a gamepad. theres no difference. if you're good - you're good. dont try to find out why u cant beat someone

False, every "pro" high level player right now plays only with keyboard, no mouse, as you can set up in a way that will allow you to "lawnmover" faint spamming with PK / Berserker / Orochi and just outright kill ur oponent without them being able to do anything, its on exploit territory but this story is for another time.Originally Posted by Grimjok3 Go to original post
Look at the XBOX one controller
It is insanely inconvenient when you have to do GB, Dash, and especially fainting, since your right thumb can either control the right stick for directional guarding, or press one of the XYBA buttons, and in that time you have to leave directional grabbing unatended, and it adds to the delay because your thumb has travel time between switching like this, its insanely hard, if you have XBOX Elite controller its easier since you can rebind your paddles to take some of the load of your thumb, but on normal setting - forget it, KB lets you setup in such way that you have separate fingers for GB, dodge and especially faint-spamming, this is a serious issue on a PC exclusively, because Keyboard-Only players physically have tenfolds mores of reaction time over GamePad users
Don't even attemp to argue with a straight face that 1 thumb using a controller with the standard setup (XBOX Elite controller is a different story) can maintain the same reaction levels while controlling the stick for directional guarding, dodging, grabbing, and feinting, when on keyboard you can set up in a way that you'll have a separate finger on each guard direction , dodging, grabbing, and fainting at the same time - all the time.
XBOX One ELITE controller fixes the issues, but it also costs nearly 200 dollars, but I personally can't afford that right now.
If gamepad users could actually change the settings to for example X - left block, Y - top block, B - Right block, A - guard break, and drop the right thumb-stick completely, then it would be a completely different story, but as it is right now, the difference in reaction time allowance is just not even in the same ZIP code

im sorry. last 200dollars tournament on pc won a guy who played warlord on controller,he fought pk who played with controller. ur point? who is the pro? you can do everything with controller just as with keyboard,you can spam feints because (yo) feinting heavy is not instant. you need to windup your weapon before feint,thats enough time for you to move your thumb from right stick to B button(although im playing with ds4). Dont bring up facts thats complete false.thats just silly.

In essence, people are using keyboards as giant, rebindable gamepads, that allows them to set up keys in a way that reduce reaction timing to alarming extents, and PK's can simply lawnmover using this because mashing guard zones, heavies and feints can let you do feinting 2-3 times per second , LOL , its insane.
And also don't forget that this removes some other margins for errors, like for example using a stick you can mess up and not hit the correct guard zone, for example if you want to do overhead but accitentaly pushed stick to diagnal position and not vertical, game can do side attack instead, this is completely removed by setting guard zones to dedicated buttons on keyboard
