How's it going guys? This is Lucian Sword back again today with another BrahoL video for you guys as always and today I am Bringing to light the question that a lot of people have been asking me Pretty much ever since I've been doing BrahoL videos and you see it all over the place and read it and Elsewhere in the BrahoL community and that is which is better to use for BrahoLa keyboard keyboard and mouse or controller now for this video. I'm not even gonna consider keyboard and mouse If that's how you play nothing wrong with that But I'm gonna be focusing mainly on just keyboard and versus controllers So what are some of the advantages? What are some of the disadvantages to each one and is there one clear winner? We're gonna get to that answer you may not like the answer, but we're gonna get to it So first let's look at some advantages for the keyboard So these are I like to try to get clear undybatable advantages So because a lot of it is opinion, right? But here are some Undybatable advantages. So with the keyboard the speed of direction changes is Easier to do than with a controller and what I mean by that is the ability for you to Go for moving right to moving left on a keyboard is simple because you have Your fingers on the all directions and you can easily go right left right left right left Very easily, but on a controller you have the thumbstick For movement and obviously it's gonna take more time for me to move my thumb left and all the way to the right and all the way to the left again Then it is for you to do 80808080 or arrow keys or whatever you're doing on the keyboard and that is an advantage You can change directions faster on the keyboard another advantage of keyboard is that you have more customization options You can you can customize the Xbox 360 controller as well But you're limited to the buttons that are on the controller itself. You can only obviously Program those buttons on the keyboard you have many many many buttons you have the whole keyboard basically You can program anything to any button so no matter what kind of Hands like placement you want you can do that on a keyboard. So that's another advantage. I don't really change the buttons on my Layout on my controller. I use default pretty much. So that's not really an issue for me Now let's go over some of the disadvantages for keyboard first of all and this is Depending on your keyboard, but it's loud to play on and What I mean by that is the keyboard clicks. So you'll be hearing when somebody's playing keyboard you'd be hearing All the time and you hear it in the streams you hear it in the YouTube videos or even if you're just playing with your friend at your friends house And they're on keyboard and you're you're on a controller or whatever the keyboard is loud Okay, usually also another disadvantage is is it's harder to aim When throwing an item on the keyboard what I mean by that is Braholla uses the eight directional Aiming system. So if you wanted to aim like bottom right or top right or whatever It's just a little bit and this is a little bit more opinion-based, but with a controller I find it is just easier to aim throwing items with a thumbstick than it is with a Using four buttons like on a keyboard or a directional pad and Finally, and this is also an opinion and it kind of depends But the size of the keyboard when traveling if you don't travel this one doesn't apply to you But if you want to go to your friend's house and play Braholla, you know, it's a lot easier to bring a controller with you Then it is to bring a whole keyboard Especially if that's your keyboard that you play with how your computer you might have to unplug it get all the cables And you got plug it back in etc Etc. Now let's look at some advantages and disadvantages for the controller I use an Xbox 360 controller, but this pretty much goes to all controllers So the biggest advantage I think a controller has is that it is easier to aim when you're throwing items I'm not gonna I already talked about that a little bit. So I'm not gonna go over that Another pro for the controller and this one is opinion-based is comfort I find it much more comfortable to be holding a controller in my hands Not that not that playing on a keyboard is not comfortable. I mean, it's not like it's uncomfortable, but Something about holding the controller in my hand. I can lean back in my chair I don't have to be like up leaning forward on my keyboard. I don't know. I can I can be far from the TV I have a wireless controller and I guess you could have a wireless keyboard sitting on your lap But I don't know if that would be very comfortable either So comfort, you know take that pro with a grain of salt because like I said, it's opinion-based And then yeah, it is easier to travel with the controllers easier to bring it to your friend's house Let's go over some disadvantages for controller The same thing that was in advantage for the keyboard is also the disadvantage for the controller That's the speed of direction changes now if you're pretty pretty fast with the sticks. It's not gonna be that big of a difference I'm a six-time diamond and I've used the controller my entire braholic career So it's not like you can't be very very successful with controller But the speed of which you can go from left to right is just a little bit slower than it is on keyboard and then another Disadvantages you actually do have to have a controller It doesn't really come with the game. So The keyboard is actually easier to get into the game because you don't need anything you can just Download the game on a laptop and you can just play on the keyboard. No problem. You don't need anything else, but If you actually have a controller That's not really disadvantage, but if you don't you do have to actually go buy a controller You have to have the USB cable or a wireless adapter. I actually used the official Microsoft Xbox wireless USB adapter. So I'm wireless. I don't like the cord because for me every like I get a new cord And then a week later it starts disconnecting even when it's plugged in and I got to unplug it plug it back in if you even wiggle it a little bit It becomes disconnected So if you don't have the wireless adapter just being on a wired controller You're at the mercy of that cord and that connection and and I think on both the ps4 and Xbox one controllers they have the same USB cord and both of them don't work that well for as far as like staying connected I don't know if it's just me, but I don't even move around that much It just you're just sitting here and it move a tiny bit and it'll become disconnected So that's why I went with the wireless USB adapter. So After we've already looked at the pros and cons kind of of a both the keyboard and controller Which is the winner? Well the answer is it really depends on what you are most comfortable using Like I said you may not like that answer, but if you prefer Using a controller when you especially when you're playing a fighting game like Soul Calibur Street Fighter Whatever fighting game you play You're probably gonna prefer a controller for Smash Bros. I'm sorry for Brahalla and the reason I say Smash Bros. is because I was about to say the reason I wanted to use controller for Brahalla When I first started playing is because I Have been a long time Smash Bros. player and when I saw Brahalla I just wanted to use a Controller because that's what I was used to with Smash Bros. And it really translates You know very easily if you're a Smash Bros. player and you pick up a controller and play Brahalla It'd probably be a lot easier for you to use than if you are a Smash Bros. player and then you go ahead and use a keyboard to play Brahalla For the first time it may be you know more of a learning curve there But for me personally, that's why I use controller a lot of pros use keyboard But there's also many pros that use controller So really it's up to you and what you're most comfortable with and what you have available to you Do you even have an Xbox one controller or a ps4 controller or any other compatible? Brahalla controller do you even have one if you don't well then the answer is just play keyboard, you know You can get very very good with keyboard. I don't really like using it because again I've just have way too many hours invested in it with the controller not that I couldn't learn keyboard But you know, it's whatever you have available whatever you're most comfortable with so that is the answer to the keyboard versus controller Question, you know, there is no clear winner All right guys, well, I hope you like this video if you did Please give it a thumbs up. It really helps me out helps my channel grow and be sure to subscribe for more Brahalla content I'm always putting that out there. Let me know in the comments What you guys use keyboard or controller or do you even use keyboard and mouse? I would like to know I would like to know maybe maybe you guys can Vote in the comments just saying keyboard or controller and we can judge Who plays most I'm gonna guess that keyboard is the most played because again, you don't need anything Not everybody has a controller, you know, you can just download the game and play on a keyboard So I'm gonna assume most people play with keyboard But let me know if you play controller as well and that's gonna be it for this video guys Thank you for watching. This is Lucian sword. Take it easy. I will see you in the next video You You
