Whats the best controller to use when playing Injustice 2?

[Ruskul]

I have just bought Injustice 2 and i am a complete noob when it comes to fighting games but i want to learn, master this one as i have been enjoying the little time i have played on it so far.

I currently use a Xbox One PC controller. In your opinion should i be using the sticks or the d-pad?

Whats the optimal out of the two?

Thanks.

I also prefer the xbox controller and it's totally fine, If you are new to fighting games it will get you very far before it matters (if it ever does).
Some people swear on the d-pad, for injustice the stick works perfectly fine, i guess you're more prone to making unwanted moves though, but i prefer the stick really.

Pro-Tip: in practice mode you see your inputs on the left side of the screen so do some moves and then you see wether it actually took what you intended to do.

Welcome to the game!

I know it's probably all about personal preference but as i'm new to fighting games i want to start on the right foot lol. Thanks for the advice and welcome <3

When you feel ready for more input check youtube videos out like this one:

Some of them, especially the button mashing one is a common reflex you have. It's very important that you stop that as soon as possible =) that's when you can appreciate how not-hectic fighting games actually are.

I am starting to appreciate it's more of an art putting different moves together. I fell so far out of my depth with this one but i'm determained to give it a shot.

I prefer the X1 controller for 99% of games out there, but for fighting games, I think the PS4 takes it. Each direction on the d-pad is its own button as opposed to the slab on the X1 controller.

Use the d-pad. It's accurate, precise, and better for movement.
Try inputing dash or special moves with analog sticks then try it with the d-pad. Compare the two and you'll be suprised.
As for controller, use what you're more comfortable with because it's doesn't really matter if you're new to the fighting games.
I use the PS4 Controller for fighting games though.

PS4 controller especially since it now works automatically with Steam support
