Assistance - What is the best controller for fighting games?

[Sizzle]

Yo,

Haven't posted a thread before but I can't find anything online. I recently just bought a new Xbox One controller as my old one was ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Anyway, I use the d-pad right, to do the cool moves n that. HOWEVER. I've noticed that when I press down, right, left, or up, the slightest miss press (which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ always) will press the direction next to it.

For example, if I press down, and if I don't directly press the centre of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ down pad, it will either move to the left, or right, even though I'm only touching down. It's like the d-pad as a tilt feature.

It's very annoying if I'm trying to input down, back (insert punch here) and it wants to jump up when I press back.

Is there a controller that has precise directional d-pad presses that's similar to an xbox controller? I don't think i'll be able to re-right my brain with another controller that's not the classic ABYX as I've been using Xbox Controller since ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the clear original Xbox with Midtown Madness 3 and Voodoo Vince.

Thanks. P.S I suck at MK1 and need friends to verse to get better. HMU if you wanna play some. XOX.

If you're looking for Fight Stick I can't help you much there. I know Hori and Mad Catz are very good brands. If you want more of a fighting gamepad controller, I can say from experience, the Hori Fighting Commander is one of the best around.

Honestly, I play fighting games on keyboard and I have much better results than on any controller... Why?

Because I don't think there are some kind of "best" or "worst" controllers it just depends on the individual preferences. I used to play fighting games alot back in middle 90s on PC but I didn't had any controller back then for PC so I just grew up with playing it on keyboard and when I can quickly learn and then properly execute literally every single long combo on keyboard I'm unable to do it on any controller that I have... And yes I played some games on controllers. I used to have PS1,PS2 and PS3 but I never managed to learn how to properly aim or do combos on controllers.

But as far as I know answering to your question about the most popular controller for fighting games I would say it's probably still the the PS4 controller but the Xbox controller is fine aswell if you are used to it.

Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro Controller. I bought almost 2 months ago and I'm really enjoying it.

Ps5 dualsense, leave steam input enabled and you will see Xbox prompts as steam will force mk to see it as an xbox controller. In fact dualsense users had to disable it in order to see playstation prompts.
Fighthing sticks are a different beast that needs to totally recalibrate your mind, way beyond visual prompts on screen.
