Any fightsticks you guys recommend?

[Xandumas]

Mine is getting a little old and it's on the cheaper end so any recommendations would be much appreciated. Also any character recommendations would be appreciated too since I'm new to this game lol, pretty excited!

You could buy new sanwa buttons and joystick for it and be fine I think. You can also find some older madcatz fightsticks on ebay which have sanwa parts (not all of them do), they are going for around 60 usd. This option is good if you don't care about newer console compatibility as much, bought a madcatz fightstick pro this way. For a newer stick the qanba obsidian or one of the razer sticks are pretty good choices I think.

if you like keyboard i recommend:

or if you're gonna just go for it - the only option is a Victrix fight stick. I own both of these and the keyboard fighting box is just as good as the Victrix, but real talk from mayflash-hori-razer, whatever stick you're looking at it, none of them are different enough to warrant buying.

the cool thing about the keyboard fight stick is that most keyboards lock up in a fighting game when you hit like 3+ buttons, which is an issue. This device does not experience that issue.

Mayflash F500 is a great stick on the low end. Lasts a while and is an excellent modding stick. (F300 is also good, but I found it a little small.)

The Hori RAP4 is really solid for a mid price stick. Might need to swap out Hori's Hayabusa buttons for Sanwa buttons if you prefer them, but I actually really liked the hayabusas.

High end and you are probably looking at an qanba obsidian, or maybe that new madcatz stick.

If you have money to burn, and don't mind a chonky stick, I can personally attest to the quality of Qanba's Dragon. Also an incredibly easy to mod stick, but really quite expensive.

Hori RAP4 or Hori RAP N
Also Razer Panthera has been pretty good for me

Thank you guys so much for the answers! Definitely more detailed than I expected which I love, I do have one question though. How do you all feel about Madcatz the authentic EGO? It was the first stick I looked at and was quite considering it.

I have the Hori RAP V and it´s pretty solid, the button clicks are very satisfying. you can probably buy a used one for around 60$

I've been using a cheap qwanba drone for a dozen different fighting games and it's great

if you can find Razer panthera, they have really good build quality, you can open them easy af and even 2 years ago they could drop in price up to 50%. I replaced my Hori Rap 4 (real good starter stick) and moved to Panthera DBFZ stick. Back in 2020 -50% i found it like 170 AUD (125 USD)

If you don't wanna snipe a stick that's fine, you can always go with Hori or Qanba.

But also beware, this game by no means need an arcade stick, the moves are made in mind for ppl that play on consoles and pull it of easily with a pad.
These days ppl get arcade sticks because it's an awesome way to express your personality and a cool peripheral to master, but by no means you NEED it in order to play this game even competitively.
This game is one of the first to be an introduction to FGs, cuz u liked Persona and you wanted to play this.

yeah my FighterZ Panthera stick is currently my favourite one. The RAP4 and RAP N both had hayabusa buttons which I can't stand using so I swapped them out with Sanwa buttons, but the Panthera is just perfect as it is (although I swapped the default black balltop with an orange one that matches the buttons

yeah i had one of those mayflash btw think it was like the 500 elite some ♥♥♥♥. With an octogonal gate, trust me it's as good as a rap V.

that why i told you buy victrix, its the fastest in the industry. All sticks compare to mayflash elites, even at the lower price.

Like i said i noted that the keyboard stick had amazing reaction time lIke the victrix, because its like a keyboard in a fightstick case. SO the input is faster than any thing but victrtix.

[cowboy kyle]

like it really is a keyboard first, unlike a controller. It's just a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fast keyboard in a fight stick case.
