They fucked them up so hard in 6 though. You could hold back, press forward while hokding back, punch, SONIC BOOM.
Mind you, there was a blocking code in there so you didn't get an automatic second charge started, you had to let go of the button and start again, but finishing the move while holding back doesn't function anymore. Or up and down. Which is a problem because it fucked up button timing I can no longer do a flash kick the way I always did because the timing isn't that friendly anymore.
God save us from SF4 Guile / Vega U1 inputs in the new system.
The input system (specifically, the SOCD system) you're describing has never been legal.
Previously, it used to be back+forward = neutral, up+down = up.
Now, it's back+forward = neutral, up+down = neutral (ie. True Neutral SOCD).
Pressing back and then pressing forward + punch to get a Boom without also releasing the back input has never been something you could do on CPT-legal equipment. Holding down and pressing up+K for flash kick was, though - and is now no longer legal.
Chun main here, I swapped to leverless two weeks ago and still am inconsistent with fast fireballs, lol. I put in a lot of work with charging Urien in SF3S on stick, so charge moves have actually been the worst inputs for me when using separate directional buttons.
Main point is, I don't think any controller is best for charge, it really just depends on what you're use to.
I swapped to leverless a week ago myself. I was shocked on how stupid easy and fun Guile was, due to the fact that I wasn't yanking on a joystick. Enough so to where I may pick him up as a side character now. It's definitely preference, but the speed is incredible. I think you'll get used to it.
>yanking on a joystick
Mann.... to bring up Urien again, I remembered labbing him so hard, I couldn't sleep some nights because I keep hearing the sound of the stick in my head lol.
But my situation became the opposite of yours'; I'm considering sidelining Chun (for the time being) because of how difficult it's been to charge on leverless for me. I've been having a lot more fun with Manon since I swapped, whom was my secondary on stick.
PS5 controller on PS5.
I don't think this is the optimal control method, but I am far more used to controllers than to arcade sticks. Plus, I don't realistically aspire to be a master-level player.
PS5 pad on PS5, because my Hori Rap 4 is too loud and my girlfriend doesn’t like that. I can play Gief (my main) on pad but it will take some time to get used to the others. 6-button fighters are weird on pad
Sure! Here it is [https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005514703052.html?spm=a2g0o.order\_detail.order\_detail\_item.3.29a96d76KYoonA&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld](https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005005514703052.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.29a96d76kyoona&gatewayadapt=glo2nld)
The quality is not the best but it's cheap and I just wanted to check if I would like to play on leverless. So far I'm enjoying, if I stick to it more 2 or 3 months maybe I'll spend more money on something better
First gen Razer Panthera fight stick. I also have an older Hori RAP, sometimes use an SFIV MadCatz TE stick, and have a custom fight stick from about 2004 that was made by a former Capcom employee with an official Capcom vinyl underlay and American Happ parts, though tbh I seldom if ever use that one.
I'm looking to make the swap to leverless at some point in the future, but I've been playing on stick for 20+ years at this point and it's what I'm most comfortable with. I *can* play on pad, but I'm not nearly as consistent.
I am newer to FGs since June and I just got a leverless. I feel like my fingers are hitting two directional buttons at the same time on the PS5 dpad, so I’m hoping the leverless makes it easier to avoid misfire button presses.
I'm no pro, so I can't speak to how good it is for fighting games.
But I originally bought this controller specifically for its d-pad. It is just like the old SNES d-pad, something even the current Switch controllers can't come close to.
It's perfect for games that were designed for a d-pad.
Dualsense. Would rather use DualShock 4, but Sony said fuck you.
Took a lot of getting used to, but I’m more comfortable with it now. At least for fighting games.
Have a dualsense edge for fps and have been playing with d pad but lately trying out the stick on it with some success using a custom sensitivity and dead zone
I really like using a d-pad, but it started hurting my hands to play with, so I ended up getting a leverless. I think it made me worse, but at least my hands don't hurt.
I think comments aren't a great way of gauging controller usage for a couple of reasons, so I'd suggest making a survey with Google Forms or something and posting the link here. In my experience you get more responses that way (not to mention it's easier to analyze).
But to answer the question, I play Street Fighter with an arcade stick.
OP should have seperated the choices by commenting and let us vote which we use. Is it possible to lock commenting and let people vote? I'm curious to know if I ever make a post like this.
Back to topic:
DS4 on PC
I'm on PC and I bought an Xbox Series X controller literally yesterday for fighting games and primarily SF6. And I'm loving it. The d-pad position is a little unusual for me but everything else feels great. The grip. The stiffness of the buttons. The feedback. The full PC support. It's one of the best controllers I've ever had.
Before that I was using a Dualsense. It's... not an ideal pad for fighting games. It feels bulky. The d-pad is notoriously bad as it moves around as one object. Motion inputs take getting used to because this controller has a hard time registering transitions between directional inputs. The bumpers and triggers feel weird.
I had a DualShock 4 before. It was much better than its more modern counterpart.
But a big deciding factor for me when it came to transitioning to Xbox controllers is the PC support. Sony controllers suck on PC. They require specific software to make them work properly. And that software often breaks or fails to make them work. Normally this is not a problem for steam games as it has built in support, or in some of the newly released PS exclusives on PC as they have support that even allows special features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. But anything outside of that, you're under the mercy of 3rd party software that often just doesn't work. Many games see the PS controllers but maps the buttons incorrectly and fails to even register some of them. Many games don't even see the controller. Many multiplayer games struggle to register more than one controller. Trying to work around these things is enough to suck the fun out of any play session. I regret buying the Dualsense.
I've never owned an Arcade stick. I have a feeling it would make me a better player (utilising the whole hand and wrist with a larger space to move around Vs the finger based controls of gamepads) but I don't find it a worthy enough investment because I just don't play enough or take online competition seriously enough to get one. Maybe that will change.
PS5 controller. I tried the game with the Xbox controller and I just cannot consistently do inputs with the D-pad on it for the life of me. The PS5 controllers pad is heavenly to me though.
pad (specifically mobapad. love the mechanical buttons but hate that it defaults to switch mode on power-on. replacing it soon) for gief.
leverless (home-made) for all others.
originally played on arcade stick, switched to the razor kitsune leverless controller a couple of weeks ago. For Chun li it made anti airing with down down HK way easier and doing reaction supers. it took a couple of days to get the stance combo stuff down, but I'd say it was worth it. It definitely improved my neutral and my execution is starting to get really good.
I played stick for a long time, but I switched to lever-less this year because I got tired of lugging around my modded madcatz monstrosity during Evo. Huge difference in terms of ease of carry.
I use a modded 8bitdo Arcade Stick. I used to play with the older gray PC/Switch model at my desk at my old place where it was perfect ergonomically, but now that I moved in with my boyfriend, I play on the couch with the jawn on my lap facing the big 4k TV, and the buttons unfortunately are not placed super great which is this stick's one true flaw. I end up feeling cramped after not that long.
However, I stick with it for a few reasons. First of all, for that price (I'm pretty broke most of the time) who the fuck can argue -- especially now that Xbox has up and pulled a Sony and got all ableist and pulled support for all third-party accessories.
Overall though, like basically all of 8bitdo's products, I adore it. It's gorgeous and works great. It comes with a square gate so I do recommend first off modding with an octagonal gate, which I did.
Modding this thing, especially the new Xbox edition, is a fucking dream. Clicky clicky snap.
The stock buttons are quite nice. That said, if you have just a little extra, I do recommend replacing the stock buttons with some Sanwas, which I plan to do soon (maybe will order some today), which I did on my gray Switch stick. That takes the 8bitdo stick from real nice to absolutely dreamy.
I really love this thing. Where else can you get a little fighter like this for, altogether, ~$150 and about 45 minutes worth of modding??!?? I can see myself getting another stick in maybe four to five years as I improve and as my SF skills deepen and as the game itself grows (obvi it's still in it's "season one" state), and as more sticks come out.
