How does this game play with a Xbox controller ?

Will I be at a distinct disadvantage with playing with a XBOX controller ?

I don't see why you would. The dpad on the Xbox Core Wireless controller is pretty good for fighting games. Of course, street fighter is a 6 button game, so you'll have to map some attack buttons to the shoulders, which are relatively fragile.

I'm sure there are people that still play with Xbox controllers, but there's a good chance 9/10 responses you get will complain about the D-Pad. Functionally, it works fine, but just feels awful to most.

With that said -- keyboard, controller, stick, leverless, gives no one an advantage over another. There's people out there still rocking and winning with PS1 controllers.

The shoulder buttons are problematic, because they are so slow. Besides that I think it's playable. I switched over to Stick. This isn't Rocket League after all.

They shouldn't be. And tbh World Tour (single player) is total ass if you're not using a stick or hitbox.

I would personally suggest playing with modern controls though. Modern controls use four buttons as opposed to six so you can keep your drive and drive parry buttons in more comfortable positions.

i use the xbox one wired controller's D-pad for this game. Works good. I also have a ps4 controller ready to go too. But the xb1 controller seems to work better in this game for me, but ps4 works better in soul calibur 6.

It's True.
I use a Xbox x series controller and I have to say it works for a few macthes then gets stuck on a direction or miss the inputs, seems to work fine only when using up down left right directions but gets stuck with any other motion, I would never recommend an xbox controller for this or any other fighting game.

Idk pad feels bad after switching to keyboard. At least with Classic inputs, on Modern it's mega comfy. Granted I've never tried a Dualshock so maybe the flipped d-pad/stick placement really makes the controller shine.

Xbox Dpad isn't too bad, nor is the stick. Actually using the shoulder buttons is not an issue at all if you've used a console before. I sincerely do not understand how that's even a complaint people have. The only thing that felt awkward was Ken's Quick Dash and even that was just a matter of adjustment.

I use an xbox controller and its not bad at all. I actually think it might be better than a ps5 controller because the dpad is a lot more responsive and its position on the controller makes it really easy to use imo.

Tried it for a while and after just 2 hours my thumb was hurting way more than it should, so I'd say the d-pad isn't adapted.
