    Which Blitz Control Scheme Do You Use?
    Just curious--"Freakish" for me. If you've been using more than one, which do you most often?

    Standard.

    PS3 controller is WAY better than the XBOX 360. Considerably more comfortable.

    I've only used the default one so far but I want to experiment with others before I decide. I also have a fight stick I'd like to try out one of these days.

    I just played the PS3 demo. Did pretty damn well for using power ups that I dont like. I need to get my PS3 controller working on my 360!

    I use shoulders but Im trying to get used to Freakish but I cant STAND the 360 d-pad

    4 people have responded to the poll as I write this, all of whom say they use "Freakish", but two have written responses saying that they use the Default. Vote Doc and MagicMurderBag!

    I couldn't make it through a single song on default controls, thanks to the terrible 360 d-pad. I then tried Freakish but the bumpers just didn't feel right - in fast sections it was too cumbersome. The game also changed lanes on me a couple of times in this mode - perhaps an analog stick sensitivity/deadzone issue?
    Now I use my arcade stick (Hori Real Arcade Pro EX). It's almost perfect - unfortunately RB Blitz's lack of customisation prevents it from being perfect. Unless I'm mistaken, every layout leaves power-up activation on the X button. I'm actually tempted to open up my arcade stick and move the X button to the bottom left so that I can activate overdrive with my thumb.

    Shoulders all the way. Definitely the most comfortable after long periods of time, only problem is that I'm really working out muscles below my forearms that I barely use, but that'll beef up in time

    I have issues where the RB/LB buttons get double-tapped and I lose a combo, but I'm learning more and more finesse with those buttons every minute I play

    Because my brother done broke my Xbox controller, I'm using my guitar and using Typewritter. It works, but I can't deploy overdrive, so I'm stuck relying on the Overdrive Powerups.

    I use shoulders. I like having both thumbsticks available to switch two tracks quickly at once.

    And I can't stand the PS3 controllers for ,ost games. Maybe they're better for RBB, but they are too light, the thumbsticks are too squishy, and they tend to slip out of my hands because of their lightness (but that may be because I have sweaty gamer hand syndrome).
