Which do you prefer to use? Personally I find the classic controls easier, but i like the idea of the new controls, as the control layout is more sensible. With classic controls i find myself contorting my hand in increasingly odd ways in order to have boost, jump and boardslide pressed at the same time. When it comes to grinding on ridges i usually fail. Anyway what about you guys?

classic~

Classic all the way.

I've used standard for a while now and can't get the feel for classic anymore :l, then again Standard seems much more comfortable on 360 than PS3 I can say that much.

Standard.

Standard. Classic is unbelievably awkward on an Xbox 360 controller. The thing just isn't meant to be held with more than your index fingers on the triggers/bumpers.

Besides, I like the modern feel of the control scheme. Thumbs do all the dynamic work, and other fingers deal with the auxiliaries.

Now, if I was on a PS3, I might have stayed Old-School. Classic just works on a Dualshock.

OT offered the trick with right stick controls, and I remember thinking that my fingers were kind of bored (too easy). That was when I started learning how to do monster tricks in SSX 3 and I became classic all the way. I was SO THANKFUL that they included classic controls in this game.

Anyway I can't enjoy Standard at all because you can't choose between spin/flip accurately. It makes for a visual mess.

NOTE TO DEVS: Please always always always include classic controls in the next (few) SSX games that you make and I promise I'll buy every one.

Classic on PS3.

Come on, it's nearly TOO easy to pull of great tricks with these controls

I find classic work best for racing, while standard work best for trick it. So I'll go with both. Although I personally like the feel of standard better.

standard with face buttons. It's definitely easier to to keep track of butter, manual grind, boost on standard.

Since classic controls were fixed I don't see any point in the new controls anymore Can't play with the new controls anyway, the classic ones have burned in over the years so bad

classic ftw!

Was going to ask this, from reading this forum for a while it seems most of the top racers on my leader boards who are miles infront seem to be using classic and the D-pad.

Don't know if that is just coincidence or if it is easier to race with the D-pad.

I wanted to give the Standard control scheme a try at the start and after a week with it... I couldn't imagine going back, it just feels soo natural.

I tried going back to Classic but it is just too awkward to use for me.

Classic all the way.

Although when doing runs that require oxygen tanks, its hard to boost and use oxygen at the same time. Kinda have to contort my fingers to press square and L3 at the same time.

Noted.

starting from the first, ive played as much ssx on ps2 as anyone... but since im on x360 presently, i made myself learn default.

started a couple weeks before launch by replaying tricky & ssx3 on regular xbox, which helped me to deprogram & re-imprint on a different scheme.
it was tough @ first... but ive come through in the end

I developed a love for the standard, mostly using sticks. One day I tried classic. The D-pad was unbearable and the spins and flips felt so slow. It was like old SSX , but the D-Pad and my adaption to the new standard controls makes me stand by my sticks.

I agree with a tiny edit.
