don't buy the hori fightpad OCTA

[Stompnado]

Hori is coming out with a tekken 8 version of this pile of ♥♥♥♥♥ , i bought one a while ago and the shoulder button just popped out making the controller useless cause it has a factory design flaw in the shoulder button

Hori stopped producing their older fightpads which were the best of the best just so they can sell this new pile of ♥♥♥♥♥... don't buy this garbage, make Hori come back to producing the old fighting commander pads cause those were the best.

As a Fighting Commander OCTA owner I can attest that it's not that good, the D-pad is too inconsistent and it often misses diagonal inputs, making electrics harder, especially on Kazuya is you're trying to do the f, df+2 input.

i'm lucky enough to own two older models of the fighting commander which are a godsend for tekken, but these models are no longer produced and they're super hard to find

Hori needs to go back to the older models cause those are simply the best fightpads ever made, this OCTA model is garbage

Man why is it so hard to find a good d-pad? I'm currently using some old ps2 and snes controllers but I've been looking for a replacement...

I prefer sticks, I own a few Hori sticks and they are great so they are a really good company. I've never tried their pads though

I agree with op. The octa is durable for me though and I have two. But I've read on the shoulder button woes from others. While the dpad is durable, it's also worse than thr fc4 with is just INSANE how they messed that up.

I'm going to see if the tekken version of the octa improved vs the playstation version.

However, the end verdict is the hori fc4 whether the ps or xbox version will always be better. Yes, you'll have to pay the price of a stick on Ebay but it's way less hassle, and the "Rush G" fix has it last for years.

buy an 8bitdo controller, their Dpads are great for tekken

The Hori Octa fightpad is not perfect but solid, Ive been using it several months already without major issues

I'll probably try one since they're not that expensive.
I don't want to play on stick/hitbox so I'm not interested in the victrix pro (I could just play on keyboard if I wanted that).

My Hori Fighting Command Octa, D-pad is broken, Hori doesn't answer customer questions and I read in posts on the internet that others have a similar problem with the Fighting Command Octa.

The joystick is awesome with octa, but yeah... mine is broke after 3 month on SF6 :s

[Dangerous-Boy]

what about the razor hitbox cammy edition?

I recommend Hori FC for Switch. Its D-pad is classic FC design and it's compatible with pc.

yeah that's the one i got along with the black one...they're super hard to acquire now because Hori realized these controllers are too good and durable and they can't sell any new models as long as these older models are on the market so Hori discontinued these models to make people buy their trash new model called Octa... which i fell for it and it broke in like 2 months due to it's trash build quality and design

Octa was designed by morons, it's Hori's worst fightpad...the shoulder buttons are held in place by a flimsy piece of plastic which is only a matter of time until it wears down and the shoulder buttons falls off

it's incomprehensible how they were able to screw up this much when they designed that thing

Hori's PS1 pad was pretty bad too lol. From someone who hasn't had quality issues, it's still bad. Dpad not doing QC motions consistently on the most sensitive of settings was super troubling.
