Whats the best handcontroller for this game?

[Kristofer Ritterkreuz]

Please describe why you like a specifik handcontroller for this game? I don´t ask wheter if keyboard is better or not so just answer my question ; )

Keyboard. But I cant use a keyboard or I'll wear out some of the keys. I've already partially broken a controller -_-

Personally, my preference goes to the arcade stick which works particularly well on the inputs (but which has no vibrations).

My 2nd choice is the controller, but with the directional cross rather than the analogic stick: in my opinion it's more precise to do hits and movements.

But for me, both are playable and enjoyable. ^^

I'm not good at the keyboard, so it's not my go-to device.
However, I'm happy to read that the keyboard controls are seemingly flawless, too!

Thanks for the comments but what arcade stick and hand controller do you use then?

[Lechuck's Beard]

I used the Hori Fight Commander Pro. The shape is perfect for claw hand, and I can kick back and relax while playing. Great D-Pad too.

I switched over the the SF4 TE Round 2 arcade stick for a bit. Very precise using the stick for movement, and fingers spread across the buttons more naturally than that of a pad.

But...I went back to the pad for comfort and the game not being in a state of competitive play right now.

Okay, thanks for the interresting details : )

- I made my own arcade stick myself, (Using "Sanwa" stick and buttons - there are Kits of stick+buttons+USB card+wires sold on Ebay, Amazon, AliExpress etc, and it's not very complicated to do)...

- For the pad, it's an Xbox360 controller. (I've tested several, but in my opinion it's still the best).

For the record: The PS4 controller D-Pad is not very good for this game. The XBox360 controller is far superior.

I use wiimote + nunchuck for all PC games

I've gotten far with a keyboard + numpad. Works surprisingly well. There is a dedicated controller called the Hitbox which is actually intended to emulate the feeling of a keyboard. Apparently, it gets high praise. I watched a video or two about people claiming that a keyboard can be used just fine in these games and, so far, it seems to be working well for me.

However, I am a complete newbie to fighting games and this is my first "fighting game", if you can call it that at all.

[Kristofer Ritterkreuz]

An interresting question for me is if you want a controller with or without joysticks for this game?

[Ostross]

Again, since I don't play fighting games, I'm not really used to joysticks. So I much more prefer pressing buttons instead of using a joystick. That's why the Hitbox (and thus also a normal keyboard) are better for me.

I use my favorite Microsoft Elite Xbox Controller v.2

[Croissantleader]

xBox One/Series X. Simply because it's a great controller for PC and that's it. Your finger wont slide off the stick you move around with and the buttons are....well buttons mothing to say about that. If you're about to buy one don't buy an elite. You pay for quality not utility.

I have heared that it´s one of the best but they also say that it has bad quality ; )
