How are the keyboard controls.

I'm currently debating with myself about buying this game since my PS4 controller I usually play fighting games with is broken, Never played a fighting game with a keyboard, is it hard to lean?

I play on keyboard, I think it works fine.

i switched pretty easily to keyboard ( from using a dualsense before ) as i have plans to DIY a leverless stick

it's not hard as long as you rest rest you hands in a comfy way for you , you might adapt easily , and Bonus , you're less likely to missinput

my own keyboard layout is something like :

A = left
S = down
D = right
Space = up
Light medium and heavy punch = Numpad 4 5 6
Light medium and heavy kick = Numpad 1 2 3

the thoses who noticed , my direction input have a similar layout / use to the usual " hitboxes " you'll see on the internet )

Bonus , this adapt to pretty much any 2D fighting games

kinda curious on this too. I recall playing sf4 with keyboard and it was mostly fine outside of characters who had like down - up - attack moves. Those just legit would never work and make me jump. I don't even know if I did them wrong somehow and would it be any different on stick or controller.

So how is it for this game? Say chun li got them down up moves, do those work or how do you even pull them off?

I reckon these kinds of moves would be a lot easier if you had a hitbox kind of keyboard layout, i.e. instead of WASD for movement, you'd use ASD and Space (for jump). Then the input would be S, Release S and immediately press Space. No need to move fingers around.

keyboard is basically hitbox. just remap the controls to where your hands feel comfortable. i tested hitbox and my hands are too small for it while keyboard layout is perfect

As a keyboard player, I think the game does a good job of accommodating us overall, including mouse control on all menus including the character select screen, but do keep in mind that if you're an arrow keys player like me, you can't remap menu stuff to that, and if Game Center interests you you'll have to remap every new game.
Also in World Tour it forces you into default control scheme during chapter 1.
