How bad is the PS5 Controller for this game?

[^7ppp^5a^6u^5l^5i^6e]

Thinking about taking part in locals, everything i play on is not PS5 compatible and i'd rather buy a new controller instead of importing an expensive wingmanFGC - UNLESS the DUALSENSE is really really bad. I didn't even like the dualshock 4 d-pad, but probably could get used to everything i guess.

I'm mostly concerned about the D-Pad. Thanks

I play on a PS5 gamepad for the same reason (nearly all offline tournaments play on PS5) and while I highly prefer the D-Pad of my Xbox Gamepad I got used to it (maybe it helpts that I play a lot of retro / arcade games on the PS5, which usally need the d-pad)

In the next days I will be switching to an arcade stick nontheless.

I don't feel strongly about it either way.

I feel like I could play this game with it fine but I'm not going to recommend anyone use it either. There are better OEM DPads out there.

Whatever works for you, gives you the best advantage, and you're comfortable with in a setting where you'll feel the urge to blame your equipment, that's the best answer. If that happens to be a PS5 controller, go for it.

edit: afaik any place hosting a tournament would accept a PS5 controller. You could bring a backup (and probably should, really)

The series X is my favourite, i can just compare it to the dualshock 4 tho

Yeah also new to fighting games and I reckon that if I make the switch the stick (Nacon Daija btw) that I can kiss my hard fought platinum rank good bye :D

But I wil first practice some arcade games on it (Beat'em Ups, 2D Action Platformers and singleplayer modes of retro fighting games, got Breakers for the PS5) before I dabble with it in SF6.

It’s one of the most popular controller amongst tournament players and winners.

thought of getting this game anyway. But biggest issues with the arcade stick are drive rushs inputs and being quick and precise with movement when spacing :f

Not PS5 compatible, and compared to the series X the dpad is really underwhelming, but some people really swear by it, i know.

[Zoid13]

the PS4 has the better dpad over the ps5 one. but the ps5 controller imo is still great for it.
ive always hated the Xbox Dpad and general layout. personal preference.

[al64inthedark]

I can't play with PS5 dpad, I find it terrible

[K33n3r]

The PS5 dpad is usable, but not good at all. It uses rubber instead of metal on the inside, which comes with undesired results and is very cheap. If you aren't very precise with how you press the button, it will often read directions you did not intend, which can easily cost you a match.

I use an Xbox One controller, the D-pad is the best I've seen in generations.
