I wasn't talking about the specific type of "gate" or whatever ABF, just stick vs button. I thought that's what you were talking about. I just don't even care about those gap things or whatever. I happen to have the ability to hold the stick in a direction myself, using basic motor control.
I'm also not talking about a mouse at all. Don't bring that up here as I'm not debating a mouse (for the record, of course I think it's more accurate, but before you say it's a proven fact, link the studies). I'm talking purely c buttons and a stick vs two sticks. I, personally, find using two sticks far more accurate due to the gradiance. If I tilt my stick so I'm aiming a different way just so I can move the right way at some narrow passage, I'm not aiming at that guy's head any more. I need to aim at the enemy while moving in a very specific angle sometimes, and that's just easier with a stick. Let's just say my sort of skill is abusing the environment as much as possible. If I need to jump on some outcropping and strafe along it while popping bullets between a gate, I do that. That's how I beat my hard modes, through abusing weaknesses in baddie AI. There's sure no other way I'm going to manage. Call it psuedo-skill, or Narutoing up a solution. I can't aim, so I do other things to make up for my massive shortcomings, and part of that requires the gradiance to move north by northwest instead of pure northwest. That's all I'm saying.
lazy so the C buttons actually let you move faster than a full tilt on the control stick? I suppose that's possible considering all the various glitches that PD has, such as diagonally running being faster that either strafing or running forward or backwards. That's something that can easily be fixed though. I'm sure they'll make it so a full tilt is just as fast as a c button, no worries.
How does anyone have the gall to say they've set a world record anyway? There's loads of people who have no idea about that message board you go to, and because someone hasn't found some obscure message board and posted a time on it, you decide to claim "world record" on it? A message board with 20 people is not the world by any stretch.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
