That's if you're good at using a keyboard. For someone like me, who used a controller for video games for over a decade (starting when I was three, but that was technically a joystick) before even using a keyboard for what it's meant for, and then even longer before using a computer to play games, it's simply not in my nature to use a keyboard for anything that doesn't require a mouse.
I think controllers work just fine for me, as I have nearly three decades of experience with them, but at the moment I'm being reserved in playing computer games with one because there's something wrong with the left analog and it completely screws up a game of Touhou if I happen to set it off (while using the D-pad, of course) and it gets stuck moving me in the same direction constantly.
On another matter, I hope that in the next fighter that
Meiling will actually be one of the starting characters with some kind relevant story/role. She's always added after the fact, the first time with no story and the second with an irrelevant one. ;/ Though it's kind of funny, considering how Meiling is possibly the only character that really fits in with a typical/standard fighting game in the series.
