Well, damn it, I didn't have to use the dog bone either! Neither did any SNES player. I got myself a spiffy C&E Controls 6-button arcade stick with real arcade microswitches. Eat that, Genesis!
And it's not like the Genny people could play on their stock controllers. Unless they wanted to toggle between kick and punch with the start button. So just because the extra controller you have to buy has a first party name stamped on the front, somehow that doesn't really "count" as having to upgrade your pad and thus the Genny version plays better?
Dumbasses.
*Plays SFII with more than 8 colors on the screen*
*Still mad after two decades*
I used to play resting the controller on my left leg, using the fingers of my right hand for the buttons, and I'd hold the controller with the left hand like most do now.
Basically, I played it like it was a mini joystick. I liked that way more than the way Nintendo had it.
Using your thumbs on the buttons when playing SF on the genesis? You're doing it wrong.
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
