lol, Niiiiiiice. Whatever works for you just do it. I've been using the thumb sticks since I got the game and that works great for me, I might try it with the buttons to and see how that feels. I don't think you can pull off haymakers using buttons alone.

Anyways the cool thing about flurries when mixed in with defense and a little strategy it can make an opponent want to throw caution to the wind. Who wants to be on the recieving end of a 4+ combo? Most people will try to throw punches and parry here and there. Now if you can get them to throw some hard punches you can easily parry them and throw some haymakers, if you can make them throw a haymaker you can then parry and counter with an even harder stun punch.
