Not sure I want to search the entire forum for this one:

Generally, I'm more comfortable with pads rather than sticks.  Question is, for those who have the new Mad Catz game pad:  What do you think?  I'd be getting mine for the 360.

Good show, mate. Hopefully this can stop those threads about the same thing from popping up.

I wouldn't count on it :P

I need some advice when facing bison, what's the best tactic to avoid or counter his head stomps and that devil arm move? I usually use ryu and sagat.

Thanks

I've seen some Bison matches where they generally do the glowing hand attack away from their opponent, I'm guessing it's easily countered so doing it away keeps them safe whilst there's a slim chance of catching them jumping at them or something.

They're doing many things:

A) Filling up their special gauge

B) taunting/goading the opponent

C) Scrubbing out :p.

Devil's reverse isn't particularly safe on block, so they're probably doing a mixture of A and B. Head stomp is a pain, but can be blocked, evaded (just move out of the stomp zone) air countered (requires timing), and also beaten on ground with normal attacks (again, need some good timing for this)

EX head stomp is a different matter tho. Best bet is to run out of the way (don't try countering in a proper match - it is not worth the risk when EX does so much dmg and has much higer priority than normal)
