Hori Fighting Stick Alpha (Street Fighter 6) for PS5, PS4, and PC

Product Information

You’re on a budget: The Daija’s an expensive piece of kit. There are cheaper options out there, though they don’t have the same range of features or premium build quality. In the menu I found toggles for both a play-by-play commentator and a color commentator, so I'm already hoping for longtime duo Seth Killian and James Chen to narrate my Street Fighter matches down the road.

The number one best idea any fighting game has had in a decade, I think, is Street Fighter 6 baking in commentators that mimic the play-by-play of exciting tournaments. Maybe this is actually a terrible idea that everyone finds annoying, but at first blush I love that this feature simultaneously: There are controllers well-suited to fighting games’ unique button layouts, including the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Nacon Revolution X Pro. You're on a tight budget: Its mid-range price is quite agreeable, but you may want to look elsewhere if you're after something a little cheaper. As was previously reported, Taito also showcased a special exhibition SF6 set between pro players BC|Kazunoko and CO|Dogura at the JAEPO, which presumably also unveiled the first gameplay footage of Type Arcade too.There's a good chance the Kazunoko vs. Dogura set will be uploaded as an individual feature, and we'll keep our eyes out for that popping up. Jay What's the current sources for good custom stuff without breaking the bank these days? I still have my Razer (the X1 version with a PS4 adapter that definitely should still work on XSXS and probably works on PS5) so I'm good, but I like to keep my ears open for what else is out there. Photos of the machine from the JAEPO show off that SF6 will likely be looking very similar to Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition using the Taito Type X4 hardware, which the new game appears to be running on too. Which SNK games? VF5 remake is still a last gen thing, not really relating to the new breed of FG. Plus the original is still playable on XB while it was trapped on PS3 on PS, so it's a little different a scenario. But again, that's not a PS5, XSX era game, that's a PS4, X1 era game where we can all agree XB had no FGC.

With an apparent ban of outside photography and video-taking at the machines, finding decent footage from event attendees may also be tough. This means that pad players have the option to access more of their character’s toolkit while using fewer buttons. Certain commands that usually require a more complex button input, then, like Guilty Gear Strive's Roman Cancels or Tekken 7's Rage Arts, can instead be accessed with a single button press. It's not confirmed, but it seems this SF6 demo only features the same 8 characters from the first 2 closed beta tests since the arcade display only contained the move sets for Ryu, Luke, Chun-Li, Ken, Guile, Kimberly, Juri and Jamie. If you get no other options this one will do....they're not really bad. They're just not as good as Sanwa/Happ which are the real arcade parts rather than approximations. I'm too hard on the Horii, it's definitely a decent controller, it's just 85% rather than 100% there. You're on a budget: Hit Boxes are very expensive, requiring both a significant time and money investment.Street Fighter 5 could still be exciting to watch in action, but I'd largely attribute that to the incredible players who throw down at events like EVO. Capcom spent years trying to recover from a botched game-as-a-service launch. At first it pleased no one: Some players raged over the missing arcade mode, others lambasted the pitifully simplistic "story" mode. And Street Fighter 5's contemporaries made it look so vanilla: Mortal Kombat had it lavish story mode, Guilty Gear had its remarkable 3D anime models. Street Fighter 5 was still Street Fighter, but that was pretty much all it had going for it. Considering this is just a demonstration cabinet, however, it may continue to undergo more changes before release. Introduces players to fighting game vernacular, both silly expressions and useful terminology they can learn to get better

Must buy for limited edition enthusiast and those who seek to be OG or original and keep the tradition of classic controls alive - way it always was I’m no pro haven’t played Street Fighter since 90s but I just couldn’t resist rewinding my VHS age and just splashing the cash on this kit

As the influence of arcades continues to wane in the modern era, many fighting game makers now develop for consoles first. Custom control schemes in fighting games account for certain combinations of buttons, allowing for shortcuts to special moves or defensive utilities, for example. This isn't exclusive to controllers, of course, but allows them to be far more viable in the competitive space. Green-Bandit LOL IDK if it's to @4kgk2's credit or not but I didn't recognize them as a die hard console warrior by name.....but it sounds like there may be a history there I didn't notice. With this game, Capcom clearly understands how much style matters. Sure, fighting game players will love an ugly game if the mechanics feel just right, but the fighting game community thrives on hype. They practically invented hype. The most legendary fighting game moment of all time doesn't end with a boring, well-executed punch: It ends with a flurry of superhuman parries and the screen exploding in flashes of orange light. Everyone in the room loses their goddamn mind. Green-Bandit, Completely OT, but one pet peeve of mine is the batteries in the VR Sense controllers. I think to protect the battery service life it refuses to charge if it's not depleted a certain amount. Which sounds great. Except when I use it for maybe an hour, put it on the charger, it doesn't take a charge because it's above the threshold still, and then my next session it only runs for like 2.5 hours because I already used an hour the previous session and it didn't let me recharge it. Which would have been solved with bigger batteries.... IDK if Edge is doing that but I suspect it might be. I'm doing all VR currently, but GT7 still has me taking out the Edge regularly. Have to admit it's kinda awesome for GT7 though.

For our playtime, we’re using the NACON Daija and you’ll know it’s active if the light is on under the PlayStation button. After this, hit the PS button or turn on your Xbox controller. Simply assign the wireless controller to a second profile. It can be a dummy one that doesn’t even have PSN/Xbox Live access if you want – in fact, we’d suggest that to avoid any confusion. Unless Capcom is paying for some upgraded parts, this means that Street Fighter 6: Type Arcade will more closely resemble the PlayStation 4 version of the game rather than the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.Green-Bandit You want one, but I don't know if you want THIS one. See the conversation about Hyabusa vs Sanwa buttons. We have the same tastes in controllers. You want Sanwa or Happ, I'd suggest Sanwa.....trust me
