Not to be rude, but that really doesn't say much. I beat the game on Very Hard without dying the first time I played arcade mode on a friends 360 before I had the game. That's with the piece of crap 360 controller.

It's not that the PS3 controller is bad as I'd prefer that when playing as I usually only play with a character like Ryu or Sagat which you'll NEVER have to do that even if you could happen to use their fifth hard trials regularly. It's just that attacks like C. Vipers are near impossible unless you have godlike dexterity and mental dexterity when using a controller due to limitations on how the controller is setup in comparison to a fight stick.

Everyone should go finish C. Vipers second hard trial if you haven't and you'll see what I'm talking about when you attempt the third(the second hard trial is hard enough though so that's if everyone can actually finish it.) Hitting up after the LP will do the High Jump. You either have to hit DF DFU with PPP the moment you hit up or DFU DF PPP. The DFU DF PPP is actually easier due to the fact that you know you're going to pull the high jump off, just that the high jump is set off the instant you hit up so you need a joystick to be able to hit df PPP as soon after.
