me really not understanding most of it makes me happy with my V3.
If you still run the V3 there is little reason to switch to later versions as you bascially can never go wrong with a Sanwa stick and button combo. The 4's Hori Kuro buttons on the other hand seem to be a step down for the majority of players (often described as feeling mushy in comparison to the Sanwa ones) but are easy to replace - then again as of end of last year Hori offers new version named V Hayabusa (not V4 Hayabusa, that one still uses the older buttons) that run updated buttons which seem to have less travel and are on pair with Sanwa's OBSF30. The Hori Hayabusa stick (by stick I mean joystick inside the fightstick) is highly praised as it seems to have less play than the "industry standard" Sanwa one.You more often read stories of people switching to that one lately. Dual-speed Turbo functionality for each button complete with LED Indicators allows gamers to execute moves with lightning speed while the eight-button Street Fighter IV arcade. You can also check DisplayLag's huge database of latency info for both HDTVs and monitors.If I remember correctly, the V3 comes stock with Sanwa buttons and stick, while the 4 instead runs Hori's own parts. Street Fighter IV FightStickDesigned to offer authentic arcade style play, the Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick offers gamers precision control and quality engineering complete with stunning official artwork. BenQ's RL2460HT monitor ($209) is a popular choice for use with fighting games and is the current standard for major tournaments such as Evo. While Street Fighter V will look great on your big HDTV, playing on a low-latency monitor will provide the most responsive experience possible.
#STREET FIGHTER 5 PC FIGHTSTICK PS4#
PC players can check out Mad Catz' Xbox 360-compatible sticks, but I'd personally recommend the $185 eightarc Fusion, a sleek and highly durable stick that works across PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and supported PS4 titles. If you're not ready to drop over $200 on a new controller, Mad Catz' smaller and simpler $80 FightStick Alpha is a good entry-level alternative. This premium stick uses arcade-quality parts and is extremely easy to mod, allowing you to insert your own custom artwork and even swap out buttons. If you're set on getting a stick, Mad Catz' FightStick TE2 ($229) is a popular but pricey option for PS3 and PS4 gamers. If you're looking for a similar game pad for PC, the Xbox version of PDP's $50 Mortal Kombat X Fight Pad should do the trick. These peripherals feature a six-button layout in the front, which is ideal for "claw" players, who like to rest their fingers on the face buttons.
#STREET FIGHTER 5 PC FIGHTSTICK PRO#
Sony's $60 DualShock 4 works just fine for Street Fighter, but if you want something more specialized, you can check out Mad Catz's $60 FightPad Pro or Hori's $50 Fighting Commander 4. There's a common misconception that you need a stick to excel, but pro players such as Darryl "Snake Eyez" Lewis and Du "NuckleDu" Dang have proven that you can win tournaments with a humble PlayStation controller. "There's no right or wrong, just whatever you're most comfortable with." "The game is hard enough by itself, without having to learn a whole new controller," said Ryan "Gootecks" Gutierrez, longtime competitor and founder of Cross Counter TV, a popular fighting-game YouTube channel. Still, that doesn't mean you need to drop hundreds of bucks for a dedicated fighting peripheral, especially if you're just starting out. Whether you use a game pad or an arcade-inspired fight stick, you'll need to form an intimate bond with your weapon of choice in order to pull off special moves with ease.
