Controls: 3DS v. Vita

[mobilesworking]

For those of you who've played both YOO and SUK+, which controls better? Do you find that the circle pad is better, worse, or no different from the Vita's d-pad? I ask because I find the d-pad a bit cramped, which makes it difficult to pull off quick changes in direction. Then again, I'm a first-time Kawase player, so this may just be down to inexperience.

I can't speak specifically on the circle pad since I never used it, but I do prefer the Vita's d-pad over the 3DS.

It's possible that how you feel about the d-pad is due to inexperience, but all I can say is to keep practicing and improving.  I know that doesn't sound like an incredibly helpful thing to say, but with time you definitely do notice how you're improving.

I and ramtiger remove the stick.

Comfortable to play!

Indeed, I've seen the truth of this in my relatively short time with the game. From zero experience, I've completed 42/60 stages and collected 34/45 backpacks. I've spent about 14 hours with the game, which includes some survival challenge runs.

Vita's d-pad is without a doubt better. That (and the 60fps) were the main reasons I was excited to get a different version of the game.

And gori.sh, that is beautiful.

I had troubles executing the various techniques like i did in Suk, but it was probably due to the 60fps (it seems like i'm used to it now). The d-pad causes much less pain than the 3ds's but is a bit too close to the analogue stick (gori.sh, removing it is definitely a good idea).

I got both versions. I like both, but I find myself playing the 3DS version more because it's basically  the Vita version on steroids if that makes sense :3
