Arcade stick or xbox controller?

[Bruno]

I got a cheap qanba stick and a xbox one controller. Which one should I use? I sucked with both on SF5.

Whichever one you're more comfortable using. Both pad players and stick users make it far and even win big tournaments.

I've always used a stick, and even though I know I'd be better with a stick in this game, I've been using a PS5 controller because I can kick back and play vs having to bring a chair out and all that to set up my stick.

can't do worse than a stick

the xbox one controller dpad is pretty bad but you can still make it work, i recommend the series x controller if you're gonna use pad.

What's more fun for you? For me, the arcade stick makes the game vastly more enjoyable. I'm not interested in getting a hitbox or getting good on control pad because I'm playing for fun.

Even if I could do better with a different controller choice, I would rather stay where I am on stick I get maximum enjoyment from than climb the ranks with a different controller type.

No one else will be able to tell you how much you enjoy stick, but if you're playing Classic, you can likely take your preference from SF5 and apply it to SF6.

I have a custom-made hitbox, and it's really enjoyable to use.

I bought a fightstick for SF6, specifically the Mayflash F500 Elite. I love it. My wife is driven nuts by the constant loud clacking. To me, the obnoxious mechanical noises are a feature, not a bug. It's all part of the charm. Not everyone agrees.

Mayflash gets really polarised reviews. I've owned an F300 and now an F500 Elite, and something feels a little clunky about the sticks? But it is heavy and feels durable, so my feelings towards it are not at all overall negative.

Compared to leverless, it does feel slower.

Just to make people trying to help feel bad.

Because I can't delete the thread. But feel free to post on it, other people might be interested in the answers.
