Just curious, what do people use for their controls?

Me, I use a gamepad laid out just like a Playstation controller, using the D-pad for movement. My layout for buttons is A,B,C, and D on the four face buttons going counterclockwise starting from the left-most button (so D is on top), and I have switch spellcard on one of the left shoulder buttons and use spellcard on the corresponding right shoulder button.

i use the standard keyboard controls because that's how i started and i got use to it (though i can't move my fingers fast enough on it to pull off good combos). if i used my ps2-like controler and got fully use to it, i think i would be able to play a little better, but i just don't feel like putting time into changing my controls.

That's how I was, but I eventually gave in and switched.

Of course, I had an additional motivation. I used a custom and very odd set-up. My keyboard lacks a numpad, so I have a USB one. I put that to the left of my keyboard and used 4,5,6, and 8 for movement and the arrow keys for attacks. Weird, I know. But this was not portable at all, so it became cumbersome when I was at friends' houses and didn't have this. Now I can just stuff a gamepad in my laptop bag (because I always bring my laptop to friends' houses).

I'm don't own any other gaming controllers other than ps2's but then I doubt I can use that with the computer so ended up just using the standard keys on a keyboard.

You could add arcade stick to the poll, as it's always a liable option for fighting games. Personally, though, I'd say Hisouten is the worst kind of fightan to use an arcade stick with all the grazing here and there and fsfbrrlshwkjsøkd. If I don't get into another fightan the money spent on the arcade stick will be wasted.

I've tried out 3 different kinds of pads and didn't feel comfortable with any of them. 2 years and counting on standard keyboard.

I is use keyboard, with arrow keys for movement and then QWED as buttons for ABCD, R for switch spellcard and F for activate spellcard. If I ever manage to get my hands on a good arcade stick I'll switch on to that but until then, I'll roll with these.

I see now that the German keyboard standard is QWERTZ rather than QWERTY.

standard keys on the keyboard.
since i never tried gamepads before, they just seem like a hassle to me.
not quite sure if they are more comfortable
