The Best Controller For Fighting Games

I personally use a TI-Nspire CAS to play Alpha 2.

Try and have a good time (-:

Obligatory tip for a potential switch:
Try out new Characters / games to learn while you are learning to use your new peripheral. That way you won't have to deal with the frustration of losing due to your new input device and are less likely to regress to your old one.

I will always use an arcade stick, no matter what "technically better" input methods will arrive because it's the most interactive and enjoyable and ergonomic experience for me and i get an arcade experience at home. And i like that there is a learning curve because every month and year i feel like i'm advancing.

I remember starting playing DOA5 in PC with the laptop keyboard, this how I found out that non-mechanical keyboards have a cap max of 3~4 simultaneous key presses.

I've been having so much trouble learning to plink in UMVC3 and this video really helped me understand why

For those about to mod their Quanba drone, you’re gonna need an adapter for the stick. And the original lever doesn’t take other gates that I know of. But they definitely don’t let you use sanwa gates on them. And there’s some minor filing you’d have to do to get the sanwa buttons to fit. I’ve had mine for 3-4 years now and it’s still in working condition. Although sometimes my left input doesn’t read. Maybe it’s cause of a button or action I’m doing by mistake before I put my game in.

I’ve been using a PS1 classic usb controller for all of the fighting games I play on PC. Games like Guilty Gear rev, BlazBlue CF, Melty TL, Soul Caliber 6, Under Night In-Birth, and DNF.

As a d-pad player this controller has been a godsend and is incredibly comfortable to hold. I’m sure it isn’t for everyone seeing as it is not a DualShock, but man is it fun to execute Hakumen combos on this thing.

Well, as a German, the replaceable parts of arcade sticks...part of the video is a double edged sword since we have to import the parts, which turns 25$ levers into 60$ levers, the price of a new pad. The few German stores we had are either gone or "under construction". One shop, that is now indefinitely "under construction" with their new web presence, never sent the ordered levers and then told me to never order again because I asked PayPal for a refund after 3 weeks without any replies or notifications lol

played tekken on dpad for like 8 years and i feel like i’m gonna get carpal tunnel syndrome when i grow older 😭💀

Some objective determinations of "inferior controllers" can be made.

1. HitBox > MixBox. The only reason MixBox is even "on our radars" is successful marketing to the Tekken community.
- WASD layout for fgs is a mistake because you're missing out on the significant advantage of having 1 finger dedicated to each direction. Hell, at least with a Keyboard since you have all those extra buttons you have the option to forgo the WASD layout and copy the HitBox layout lol
- the big spaced arcade-y buttons of the HitBox allow for advanced tech such as skipping inputs, sliding, double-tapping etc. ON YOUR LEFT HAND

2. mechanical keyboard > membrane keyboard. Simultaneous buttons are common, avoid ghosting.

3. Cross|Up > Arcade Stick. It's just a direct improvement so... easy win lol

I like to use the 6-buttom genesis controller for more basic fighting games ( SF2/3, MVC, KOF, WW7, etc).

[mc_zittrer]

I love the arcade stick feel, but it's so hard to do more aerial stuff like instant air dashes and whatnot. To that end, sinking one or two hundred bucks into a Hitbox seems downright seductive right now. XD

Holy shit, I just bumped on your channel today because I was starting to get into Tekken (after a few hours in SF4), so as a noob in the fighting games universe (I probably have less than 500 hours TOTAL in fighting games at all) I'm finding your content very fun to watch and super understandable. Thanks for the videos!

Been using an original PS2 dual shock with a USB adapter on PC for Tekken 7. Its way better than PS3 controller or PS4 due to the solid trigger buttons which makes dual button binds feel alot better to press. Its a well built controller. Hasnt went out on me yet.

[sevaplotnichenko]

I use keyboard, movement on the right and buttons on left. i find it much easier to have multiple fingers to do motions, unlike a d-pad on a controller, and I personally find inputs done with a joystick to he sluggish and awkward.

[kingdanett]

I didn't know people hated the switch d pad. I personally love it. Because the buttons are separately I'm not constantly rolling incorrect inputs

[hayderdragovic]

Nacon revolution pro controller has the pads buttons shifts
Its designed for fighting game like SFV
It is amazing ❤

[ChasingAthleticism]

PS3 is still has the best fighting controllers, the d-pad separation, key stability with the flat and responsive buttons on the right is hard to beat. Xbox one d-pads are unstable with quarter circle inputs and the right side keys have too much travel and profile while the buttons are to close to each other. Respect to those who use 4 separate keys for directional inputs, it's challenging and tedious to learn the quarter circles with keyboards.

[deepfreezzeer]

Wish there was a controller with dedicated diagonal buttons in each corner in between up down left and right

[ireallydontknow]

I have a hori fighting commander because I thought it was gonna be easier and better for me to play on it. And I can say it is fun and it looks cool, but throughout my life I was almost exclusively playing on pc and keyboard, so I went back to keyboard and it's much better and easier for me
My friend also bought a fight stick and now he doesn't play on it, so remember everyone, play with whatever is comfortable for you

Thanks for the upload Zug!
You didn't mention it, but I'm curious of your opinion on gamepad thumbsticks?

I would say they are the go to option (at least for me) if I needed to do 360 motions--360s on pad is quite tough.
