if you know the motions for the moves, then doing quarter circles and shoryukens on a keyboard isnt hard at all, imo

I mean, how can you get more precise than a keyboard? you can hit the exact direction you want with precision that cannot be matched on a pad or a stick.

360s are indeed a bit harder, though.

I suppose it can be quite easy but I'll have to try it out before passing on an opinion. On the other hand, the actual 360 controller would be a nuisance so I  going for a fightpad instead.

Pressing and releasing three buttons, in order, with precise timing, fast enough to react in a high-intensity situation is tremendously more difficult than a simple quarter-circle motion with a stick or d-pad.

negative. I'm speaking from experience. there is nothing hard about hitting down, forward, punch or [shoryuken motion] punch on a keyboard at all. The precision is better than a pad, and another advantage keyboard has over the pad is having access to all of your attacks with your fingertips, rather than having to do everything with your thumb. This is also a big reason why an arcade stick is the best - the directions are more defined, and you get to use all of your fingers for the buttons.

A more real problem with some keyboards is their technical limitation of not being able to read more than 3 inputs at once, which does problems in certain fighting games

Stick > Keyboard > Pad

I agree that keyboards are better than pads with regards to the ability to press attack buttons, but for directional input, it's silly to claim that managing separate button presses can be compared in speed or effeciency to tilting your thumb a bit on a pad. A keyboard may be more accurate (and I'm not particularly convinced that it is), but it's certainly not as intuitive.

Also, I'm speaking from experience as well, as I stated in my first post.

aff is incomparable keyboard is 10 times better to play
