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.

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

Is there a good controller with a 8 way joystick
I have the Hori Fightpad Octa on Xbox. I really enjoy it, but I don't play competitively at all. I also got it for like $12 on a Woot sale, so I find it hard to complain about lol

Am I at a big disadvantage if I’m using the analog stick instead of d pad?
Objectively speaking, yes. Analog sticks are clunky and unprecise for fighting games. That being said, it's a genre you can make almost anything work. If you are hung on using the analog I would recommend getting the Hori Octa fightpad. It was pretty much made for this. But it would be better to jus

Controller suggestions
Yeah if you don’t want stick/leverless, don’t force it tbh. Pad is completely valid, especially on PS5. My picks would be: Budget/simple: Hori Fighting Commander OCTA Proper fightpad layout, wired, made for PS5/PS4/PC, and way cheaper than most “pro” controllers. Best premium fightpad-ish option: Vi

PS5 controller recommendations with a good d-pad?
Budget: hori fight commander octa. Haven't tried the new pro version. Expensive: victrix pro bfg (multiple dpad choices). Haven't tried other 3rd party fightpads/controllers.

Hori Octa. I got one and as far as fightpads go it's pretty decent. I don't use the analog but it does what it was made to do. Even one of the EVO tournaments was won with it (2024, Chikurin in Tekken 8).
