Controller vs Keyboard? Your Fundamentals Win, Not Your Input

0:00Your input isn't what's losing you rounds, recruit. Your decisions are. Here's the debate: controller or keyboard, and who gets to call themselves a real player. So what actually decides a fight? Input snobbery is noise, and here's the quick list. One, positioning: standing in the right spot beats a perfect flick from the wrong one, on any device. Two, game sense: reading where the fight is headed works the same with a mouse or a thumbstick.

0:30Three, decision-making: when to push and when to back off. No piece of hardware hands you that. Fundamentals transfer across every input. Snobbery doesn't transfer anywhere. It also keeps the focus on skill, not on which club you're allowed into. So next time you're stuck, don't shop for a new input. Pick one fundamental, review your last death for it, and decide this week what you'll fix first. Game on, guild. Speed Demon is live at WinGamingGear, and entries close November 2nd at 04:59 UTC.
