SFIV - Can Turbo button be used for EX?

Hey lads. I've been using with Chun Li for a few weeks now but unfortunately, whenever I tap the 2 kick buttons (assigned to A and

for the lightning kicks my thumb starts to hurt or the nerves at the top of my thumb so I wanted to ask if its possible to use the turbo button for EX lightning kicks. Thanks.

I don't use turbos and never will so I dunno man.

Oh by the way, I thought I should mention that I don't have a arcade stick or fight pad so I'm asking as its the thing that I'd need

I don't know but turbo is gay as hell

Just so we're clear, you want to use a turbo pad cause it hurts to do chun li's EX lighting legs as you use A and B (X and O on the ps3) why not use A and R2 or B and R2 instead? So your thumb is only pressing one button?

(dunno if its called R2 on a 360 pad btw)

Or you could try tapping KKK instead. (L2)

I know no one likes a turbo button player at tournaments but I fail to see why it would be a problem. Most experienced players can pull off any of the multi tap attacks with ease so it wouldn't make a difference to how its being used but would be much better for thumbs because of less movement and saving your pad or stick for a bit longer too instead of having to buy new buttons or a new pad every once in a while

@Cunny-Funt: Yeah, I did try using the left trigger (triple kicks) and although its easier, I'm worried that after a while, it'd bugger the trigger when I'd play any racing games which I seriously wouldn't want as I mostly play racing games.

Just if anyone could please tell me if its possible to assign 2 attack buttons for the turbo switch or button.

What about holds where mashing buttons makes you escape faster? Turbo is a clear cheat, there's no way it should be allowed at tournaments if that's what you're suggesting. If you're playing on a stick you should have no problem with EX-style inputs anyway because you just use two separate fingers.

Thankfully, the "mash to escape faster" crap has been removed from SFIV

You could still theoretically use turbo to hit tight links though. And even if not it is still mad gay.

Jesus, I don't have a 360 but I've had a few shots of the pad, doesn't strike me as being all that flimsy tbh...
