Just got a stick today - it's got eight buttons, I'm trying to train myself to only use six (and keep the other two as taunts) - is that what most do? I was wondering what the official, generally accepted button layout is for most people? I am not too familiar with arcade versions of Street Fighter so don't have any point of reference!

Super Street Fighter IV is a standalone update to its predecessor, adding new characters, modes, and online features.
What is the 'official' button layout considered to be?
Just Options > Config > Set it to the first Arcade Stick layout, that's considered default.
To spell it out though top three are punches, weakest to strongest left to right - same again for kicks.
Also to taunt you just press both Strong / Hard / Fierce buttons, not all of them.
Mine just has 6 face buttons but two marked at LB / RB at the top for some menus and the like.
You're welcome to use the 3P or 3K button, but for the love of god don't map any button to focus or throw. Those are controversial mappings for one, as well as completely unnecessary. I recommend just the normal attacks.

As for throws *shrug* should have remained one button imo anyway.

(LP) - (MP) - (HP) - (LP+MP+HP)
(LK) - (MK) - (HK) - (LK+MK+HK)
For a throw, LP+LK
For a focus, MP+MK
For a taunt, HP+HK
Use the far right buttons for activating ultras or EX moves. Some people are more comfortable doing EX's with 2 regular buttons, some mix it up, some activate Ultras the ol' fashioned way, depending on how familiar they are with typical arcades.
" @yates said:It takes no more time to hit two buttons then it does one, especially considering you're hitting them simultaneously. As for one button throws, that's the reason I can't play SFII/Alpha. Makes no sense." @lordofultima said:In the narrow-ass time window you have for FADC, pretty fucking difficult yeah imo.

Whatever the fuck, basically, I can't do FADCs and it makes me rage.
I <3 one button throws but, 2 are just as good. It's just having to press middle kick + middle punch in the middle of doing other shit that throws me off. I just need a fuckton more practice.
