What controller would you recommend?
I play sf6 with a fightpad and could not go back to a normal controller. Depending on the platform you play on you have multiple choices. I have a hori octa (budget) and a victrix (premium). Love them both. Of course there are fightsticks and leverless too.

surely someone has made a modernised bluetooth version of one of these controllers:
Humble Bazooka is working on a commercially-available bluetooth adapter for the 3D Pad: https://www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/03/17/humble-bazooka-revives-3d-controller-bluetooth-adapter-project/ If you're looking for a bluetooth 6-button pad with analog sticks, the Hori Fighting Commander Octa Pro i

Kinda disappointed
Crazy that hori's old fighting commander was so close to being perfect and they just completely nuked it and made the utter dogshit that is the octa.

Got this recently. What controller/stick do y’all use to play fighting games?
Hori Fighting Commander (PS4) They really screwed up with the OCTA.

this character has already worn out one of my dpads and i only have 40 hours on the game
It was more from me practicing movement and playing Azula neutral than the combos. I was on the hori octa which is a membrane dpad and those are known for not lasting too long so I kinda expected it but now I’m on the Razer Wolverine which should last much longer

Made the transition from stick to leverless
It's pretty sweet considering so many pads have dropped the ball, looking at you Hori Octa. Fighting a controller is the worse while playing a fighting game and leverless precision is hard to beat.

Pregunta del sub de al lado - cuál prefieren?
Ambos (y tengo controles de los 2 estilos) El B es bueno si el juego usa mayormente el D-pad como pasa en juegos retro, rpg, plataformeros en 2D, etc. Y el A para todo lo que dependa del stick (especialmente juegos en 3d) Ahora mi reclamo, por que no hacen mas controles que tengan 6 botones en el fr

Newcomer to the FGC, and really struggling with motion inputs.
Both stick and dpad are valid. I use stick on a Hori octa commander and it feels great. A lot of people do prefer pad though, find what feels best for you. And honestly, it will just come with time. Work on feeling out the individual movements of the inputs in slow motion. For example. Ryu Hadouken

Looking for a PS5/PC controller with an Xbox Series-style d-pad — recommendations?
I would recommend a Brook Wingman FGC 2 or the Wingman P5 converter {same as the FGC 2 but with wireless sync feature) and pair it up with any controller than rather than buying a third party licensed PS5 controller since they all have premium price tags except for the Hori Fighting Commander Octa P

Is this controller great for street fighter 6?
This was basically THE go to 6 button pad for the ps4 era. Trouble is it doesn't work on the ps5 without an adapter. Hori has put a new version (Hori Octa ps5) that does work on ps5 but that's had very mixed reviews especially the dpad. All that to say it's great for PC, just a pain if you want to u
