controller question?

[koekenpan]

Is SF6 playable to a decent level on a controller or M&K?

I hated playing with a controller personally as I found out you really have to press the diagonals too hard for them to register everytime.
My thumb did hurt so much at release that I bought an arcade stick, that I can also use for all the beat em all I have and arcade shooters.
I wouldn't recommend a controller, but there are many many people who are happy with them.

Yes to both. I've never liked controllers for fighting games, but there are plenty of high level players who do well with it.

I went from stick to leverless, but prior to actually forking over the money to buy a leverless I played on keyboard to test out if I would like the control style as it's pretty much the same damn thing, it's just leverless controllers have bigger buttons.

you can easily play with a controller, the inputs are second best after hitbox i think

Keyboard and Controller both work just fine for SF6. It's pretty much designed for use with controller, works fine with stick, and leverless is obviously great for it.

Keyboard is basically just a leverless with smaller and extraneous buttons and work just fine as long as you bind it right.

Some controllers are a bit arse in terms of d-pad etc, but for casual gaming the majority of them are perfectly fine for the purpose.

My PS5 controller works fine, a lot of pros use them.
It's about what you're comfortable with and once you find it you stick with it.
The thing about switching controllers is adapting to the new one will take work.

I do wanna try out a leverless stick at some point to see how that feels but that's just me.
You should experiment and see what feels good for you.

Some of the best players in the world use controller, how well it works for you will depend on your own skills with it and what controller you have.
