Here is another video of hardcore gamepad aiming on PC. I Recorded myself for a Live Video,so everyone can see its not fake. Again im using my program,you will see, nothing compare to it,extreme macro and fast reaction aiming is possible with it. Xpadder is good for buttons but not for aiming.If you want you can try osu or FPS with xpadder vs mouse player,you will be very limited. My program is for sale very soon and i hope people interested of playing with gamepad on pc will use it! Specially cress! very nice guy i met on skype wich i will support very soon by playing hardcore starcraft 2 with gamepad around the world. And hope he will continue. Anyway,enjoy the vid and tell me what you think !
ps: blueslobster i tried Reflex TE on missionred.com with pad and di high score

also : i think what this guy has done so far with an xbox controller to be mindblowing. i saw his play and i think it is very impressive but imho reaching gm would be near to impossible.Still wish you the best of luck and continue to be as cool as you are!
You would probably say reaching Masters is mind-blowing and impossible too ~.^. In all seriousness theres a huge mountain to climb for sure

The way I map my hotkeys is not very efficient but its what I've gotten used too. I would probably go with what your comfortable with and what seems practical for you personally.
Honestly if your used to the mouse and keyboard I would stick with it. Theres people who have messaged me asking for my help with setting up the game pad as they have extremely bad wrist problems. Those are the people that maybe should give the game pad a try. Its all what your comfortable with I suppose.

My mouse emulation speed is set to 67. I hope this helps.
Let me know if this answered your question
Speed is so slow. I may be used to using the mouse
I think I should need to practise a lot.
Thank you for your answer
Yeah you should be using the Arrow keys by moving the screen. To sorta off set the slow mouse. If you can control the faster mouse by all means go for it. <3
dinosaur: well its possible when you click on the left trigger but yes it is very hard. Specially a song nico nouga,the macdonald song lol,insane at the begining
Flicer: Yea i will try to do good score funny,invisible aiming lol,lucky the targets are big enough
Thx for suporting for SC2.
For the moment i need to learn the game and all the credits still goes to cress for the moment.I played everything with pad and was looking forward to start SC 2. He is doing great ! i hope i will do at least as good as he did And i hope he will get much better with my program But i know the possibilities are huge. Why not beat some koreans hehe

BUT GL in your efforts towards GM!
Nah we're talking about super solid GM level here no cannon rushs or six pool's XD. Maybe a 10pool or a 4 gate in mirror match ups once in awhile but that's all I really do that could be cheesey

Here we have this guy who is extremely successful in a very unconventional way of playing and half of you are being Debbie Downers about it.
Some blame Protons being too easy, others blaming SC2 to be too easy, some say all his opponents suck or that it's impossible for him to reach GM...
How about just recognising that he's done something really impressive and rooting for him to reach his goals?
Agreed. But at least Cress has the right attitude of using their pessimism as motivation.
I think it's definitely possible, and it's just a matter of how much time and effort he's willing to put into it. And it will take a loooot of time and effort, rest assured, but it's an obtainable goal.
Well in a way this is a goal I've been working towards since star craft 2 was released. I've seen massive spikes in my skill over time and I've stopped ruleing myself out. I play star craft 2 with the game pad regardless if I'm streaming or not. It's just something that I'm sharing with you guys.
The kind comments some of you have left for me really means a lot. Makes me wanna keep streaming.
There's always gonna be a few people that are gonna hate I suppose
I got top 8 masters, I'm sure they were all like easy masters players though. Like bronze players that made it into masters or something. Low points etc.
Anyway its less about ranking more just about improving. Everyday I come closer to reaching god mode with the game pad XD
Nappa: Vegeta.... What does the scouter say about Cress's Gangnam style power level?!
Vegeta: Its over 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah you knew that was coming =D
lol I was browsing this thread waiting to see who would be the first person to post that .gif.
SC2 players tend to grossly exaggerate how difficult the game is.
in comparison to what? your post is bad and you should feel bad.
considering the fact that there are full time gamers who are no where nere a skill cap Id say sc2 is a pretty hard game to master.
Especially compared to an FPS or something that takes very little time to get to a high skill level.
SCII places a much higher demand your on nervous system and requires you to be almost constantly focused.
Well this is a pretty good example of what I was talking about. SC2 players talking about the nervous system and focus as if it's been experimentally proven. I see people like you all the time, desperately trying to place SC2 on a pedestal above all over video games. Wake up bros, SC2 =/= Broodwar. The fact that D rank ICCUP players are solid Masters SC2 players with almost no acclimation should tell you something about the difficulty of SC2. Keep calling my post bad though NEEDZMOAR, you had a pretty bad post yourself.
Nobody is saying sc2 is harder then bw, but to say the game is easy like your post implies is also just as false. Masters is fine doesn't mean you are good though.
Why you trying to start a sc2 vs bw fight? like really?
Im not trying to start a SC2 vs BW fight. Before I even mentioned any game outside of SC2 someone is already claiming SC2 to be superior to FPS games because it, "places a much higher demand on your nervous system and requires you to be almost constantly focused." I'm sorry but that is laughable and I felt a need to respond. Like I said, some SC2 players feel the need to exaggerate how difficult the game is.
And some feel the need to make SC2 seem ridiculously easy, what's your point? Everyone has their own opinions. If you're going to demand the other person back up his opinion with experimental evidence, you'd better provide your own for your counter opinion.
Yea I guess the guy claiming SC2 to be harder than FPS games because it's more taxing on the nervous system isn't direct proof of my statement. Just ignore that because it'd go against your opinion.
In any case, I never even said SC2 was easy. I said SC2 players tend to exaggerate how difficult the game is. Reading comprehension at an all time low.
is there even a competitive shooter that is still played?
people dont really play CS anymore (too old) CS:GO isn't terribly popular (dont know the competitive merits) call of duty: lol what else is there again?
face it competitive shooters died with deathmatch fps games and counter strike 1.6.
Actually I think there's still an audience for fps tournaments. They seem to be broad casted on TV in the US more then Sc2 or lol. Like G4 tv for example shows alot of halo stuff. Hard to argue which has a bigger fan base. Its safe to say theres a lot of Fps fans out there though.

Well the whole beat map and reflex games are not really my thing XD as they focus just on the mouse. I still need to do the marine split challenge at some point though
