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.

That was fixed in the driver but not by default you have to turn it on in the software.
That being said the controller is designed to be played with the analog stick that has a 8 way gate on it that is why it is called the octa.

What do I need to turn on? I have the hori device manager app installed but it only lets me lower sensitivity and that doesn't fix the issue.
No way in hell I'm playing with an analogue stick.

The Fighting Commander was the peak of Hori pads. These new models are not it.

Its just a toggle called balanced input mode. The analog stick is what this device was designed around though and it actually is really nice with a short actuation time. The dpad is the same mushy garbage they put on all their stuff. You can mod the Dpad to have a thicker pad near the pcb i think it was 2 microns of added depth that makes it feel better if you are not scared of taking things apart. I used PLA plastic.

I had the balanced option already on since last time I tried messing with the app.
I may try the mod to see if it improves things.

edit: just tried the analog again to give it a chance and it's super slow, can't korean backdash and electrics are harder than the dpad, I would never use it normally.

getting a decent controller is not cheating. (macros can be but no one mentioned them in this thread).
As for the xbox controllers (I've tried the 360 and one) their dpads are not great and the layout is not that confortable for using the dpad as well.
I'd recommend something with a playstation or snes layout instead or even just the keyboard.

it is a advantage because the majority of users do not use specific devices to win a match!
you are a scrub. if we all would use xbox controllers you would lose matches left and right.

it is a legitimate advantage, if you play on a potato you're the scrub.

Also Tekken is a series originally for arcades and playstation, don't know why you would be so fixated on the xbox controller of all things.

you can't win without ordering additional devices, you are the worst.

while the majority uses xbox controllers in a fight and you use something special ordered customised for fighting games ofcourse you are cheating to win, you ♥♥♥♥ at fighting games and need additional help device.

lol no one in their right mind uses xbox controllers in these games.
unless it's someone so small minded that thinks using a different controller is cheating.
