I want to get into fighting games but i dont want to spend a

pad is absolutely fine and there have been numerous tournament winners using it, it's almost 100% preference

Evo 2014 was won by someone using a PS1 controller

>>378548756

>That d-pad

And into the fucking trash it goes.

I have this thing and I hate the rotating dpad.

I also suck at going from left to right without getting an up input but maybe I'm just retarded, you probably have to let the pad reset to neutral on its own before you press in the other direction as opposed to rolling your thumb from one direction to the other

It's p comfy to hold imo, although I only use my thumbs for the face buttons rather than some wacky pseudo arcade buttons thing I see some people do

he's talking about pad in general ya dummy

That's the exact one I use. Very quality controller. Cheap as well and you can adjust the angle of the d-pad which is nice.

>>378548756
Whatever controller you already have is fine.

>>378551042
This OP. Play with whatever you're most comfortable with.
The reason japs play mostly with arcade stick is because they actually played most of their life on actual arcade machines.
You might want to try stick if you have trouble pulling off shit like half circles.

>>378548756
I have this one. There is a switch at the back of the controller that controls diagonal sensitivity. IMO you need to turn it at max to register diagonals well. It's an okay controller, but stick will always be superior. Maybe consider saving for a Hori RAP

>>378550470
Hori dpads are the best tho

Basically, you have two options:

1.) Accept that cheap products are cheap for a reason, and you're just wasting money you could put towards an actual stick (A Madcatz TE or Hori RAP, not one of those cheap tiny MadCatz non-TE models, or an overpriced Razer, or a Qanba that uses cheap Chinese PCBs for multi-console support that are unreliable), so stick with whatever controller you have until you save up enough for a real stick.

2.) Get deluded into thinking you suck because it's the controller, not the fact that you haven't dropped 6000+ hours into the genre, and get a Sega Saturn controller + USB adapter for cheap because it's been universally agreed upon since the mid-90's that it's the best stock controller for fighting games, they're built like tanks, they're cheap as balls, they have six face buttons (this is very important) and every Saturn pad clone (like your picture) is just an inferior knock-off with worse build quality, but somehow manages to be more expensive. Trust me, that shit will be dead in under a year if you actually get in to fighting games.

Controller like this are only good if you want a single controller to use for a bunch of emulators on a PC because of how many buttons they have, and even then, I'd rather just use a DS4

>>378551348
yea i understand that, but i need one more controller to play with my friends and all, so it wouldn't be JUST for the sake of the pad itself

There's a newer version that also has a symmetrical form-factor. I have 2 of them and they're not bad.

>>378548756
yes i have the same one

>>378552576

>>378548756
I'd be surprised if you could find this for an affordable price still but it's what I use and it's great.

I have this. it bretty bretty gud. Very light. Amazing Dpad, large buttons.

>>378552480
are those madcatz controllers actually good? They look fucking rad and I was considering getting one so I can take it places with me instead of lugging my stick around

>>378552903
>Madcatz

THeir pads are ultrashit. Sticks are gud. They ran out of business also.

>>378552903
I have one. Like I said, pretty decent for emulation (especially N64 and Saturn games with that button layout), but absolute dogshit for fighting games. I set it to PS3 mode and tried to play MvC3 and SSF4AE once. Never again.

I don't think I've ever used a worse D-Pad, the rubber under the buttons get stuck like mad, and there's barely any feedback when pressing the buttons like you'd get with normal controllers.

>>378552903
I heard those pads are pretty much trashola

>>378552378
get this one, it's more durable than the one in the OP
