Before I buy this I'd like to ask your opinion. Is it better for fighting games than the Dualshock 4?

>Is it better for fighting games than the Dualshock 4?
You're basically asking if a controller that is already known for being great and hailed as one of the best is better than a shitstation controller.
The answer is yes, it is better.
But if you want to go further, just look at it: 6 face buttons nigga.

I prefer it over Dualshock 4 by a ton. The dpad especially is a lot more comfortable. It's what I always use for fighting games when possible.

big yes. The Saturn had so many great fighting games and arcade ports, and the controller is perfect for them. Not to say the dulashock's dpad is terrible or anything

It's better for any genre that uses a dpad. So basically everything.

Why ask for opinions when you can get facts? But my opinion is that a Saturn pad is absolutely the best for casual memlets to impress others of their kind with their complete ignorance of how to play fighting games.

>> No.5376398

DC fight pad is better because the buttons are actually the same size. What was Sega thinking when they mage the 6 button MD/Saturn controllers.

IMO don't get any knockoff versions of the original saturn pad, including the new retrobit ones that are officially licensed since it's been proven they changed the internal molding so it's incompatible with saturn pad replacement parts. Find an OG pad, refurbish aas needed, and get a decent adapter like raphnet (mayflash if you don't want to drop an assload of money).

>>5375502
There's a few sets, the original official usb ones from a long ass time ago are almost as expensive as N64 hori pads, the playSega controllers that are super cheat but have crap contact pads, and there's a new set that retrobit has coming out but nobody knows if they'll actually be better than the ones they've been pushing for years.

Can we make this the /vr/ approved controller thread?

I'm dying to find a way to use the vita as an input, it has the best DPad I've ever used and it's what I used for fighting games on the PS4 before getting an arcade stick. A Close second would be the GBA SP

Well they're officially licensed by Sega. So that might have something to do with it.

I think the most important thing is the internals of the controllers, hopefully they get that right too.

What the fuck is Hori's 6 button PS1 pad called
Not the one that's shaped like a SNES controller, the one with handles exactly like the ones on the default PS1 controller
It looks amazing but I can't find listings for it anywhere
