I have also now a big problem with the controls.
For Arcade or 2player it seems to be OK for me but
for this heavy combo things its impossible without pain.

I sold my GC version and bought the Xbox version.
XB controller (S) is way better and the game itself looks better (on my high resolution TV).

If you want to complete Konquest and dont want to get a other version your only chance is to buy a ps2 adaptor but may it dont work properly.

For me all 3party controllers and the adaptor dont work. I have spend much money on these extras.

Well personally I think selling your GC or your copy of the MKDA for the GC is stupid. The controller has nicely adapted to me. I beat Konquest mode in less then a day. I have HUGE thumbs...I mean huge...they look like toes...but I have know problem with the GC controller...It's the best designed controller ever made

i hate playing fighting games with the joy stick....the d pad is soooo much better


but yeah...that game cube set up is HORRIBLE for mk....the 4 button set up is perfect

i have no problems to beat kon. with my controller.
The frost combo etc. is not easy but i did it with my first attempt!!

it ́s a way of practise

You beat konquest in less than a day?
Woah! Superfreak! you must've been playing it a hell of a lot in that 1 day.

it took me a while getting all the combos down w/ the GC controller. The main part that screwed me up was the combos that had you do a change style mid-way through. The main problem is that on the GC controller, the L and R trigger buttons have 2 modes : half pressed, and full pressed. Since the combos require quick button presses, its hard to not half-way tap the R button. To remedy this, one option would be to switch the Z (special) for the R (Change Style) buttons. This way, when u do those harder combos, u just have to tap Z instead of making sure you press R hard enough. Just a little trick that helps somes times.

I have "Toe-Sized" thumbs as well, and have had very little trouble adapting to the control scheme.

I thought I would have trouble before the game came out, but when I started playing, it was really quite simple.

I beat almost all of Konquest without any trouble.
The hardest part was that some of the mirror matches were a little tough, but they weren't impossible.

I could probably play through them all now without any re-starts.

I'm battling with Cyrax's combos mainly.

It's the end fights for half the characters that get me though, despite the fact the difficulty is on Easy, I still get beat flawless!

in 1 and a half days i beat ten characthers so im on my way

I agree! The Gamecube pad is the best designed controller ever and I have no problems using it! It's perfect for MKDA and the d-pad is fine the way it is! Konquest was simple and I beat it within a day also!

I thought the controller of the GC would be worse than that of the XBOX. But it's the other way around. The d-pad of the GC works way better for me. I can walk the fatality motion on the GC, but on the XBOX "forward back" can't be walked.

Only the triggers of the XBOX I find better for the game, because of that halfway pressing triggers of the GC.

i cant pull of raidens last combo
its really getting me angry

personally, I thought konquest on gcn was easy!

Persistence is the key. I've completed Konquest, and yes it is an utter mongrel to complete.

Keep your eyes on the control pad, and study what you want to do and how you intend to do it.

That's my technique anyway.

... must have been hella bored if some of u guys beat all of konquest in one day. thats a lot of game playing, especially when you need to unlock the characters...

but anyways... the GC controler is probably the worst for MKDA. Not sayin the controler sucks, cuz I love it... but I just think the others are better. and like someone stated above, changing styles between combos was the hardest for me... so... like the person already stated... I changed the button layout. and after that, I concentrated on each one and praticed like hell.

I have completed all 218 missions.
Some of the branching combo's were hard because of the analouge buttons, witch have a slight delay hitting, rather than just digital buttons.

Also the GC D-Pad is way to small

Regards,

the GCN controller's alright, I don't understand why the anologue stick can't be used at all though

Well, I cleared every mission as well, and I have no problems whatsoever regarding the button layout on my controller...
