This one is cheaper, compact, and uses all the best arcade parts. You will have to use joytokey to map the inputs on PC however.

This one is really solid and i'm a fan of hori buttons/sticks

Pad:

I'm not knowledgeable on pads, but these ones are talked about the most to me:

EDIT: found list of changes that might be for season 2 based on PSX demo
as far as balance changes go we only know so much. but capcom said 3 things they are

Recovery After Successful Throws

Strong Anti-Air Light Attacks

Invincible Reversal Reliance

there was a post with most of the changes i cant seem to find it ill edit it in when i can but heres capcoms portal

being changed, there are reports of frames and moves buttons being changed but we will have to see for sure when the balance patch comes out dec 20th. pressure will be a little of the same jsut not specific characters cammy,necalli,ryu,ken cannot rely on meterless dps on wake up,i think the hardest hit by the reports on the new update are ken and mika , both are still playable from reports but more fair in a sence you should have no problem making the character you want work.

as for pressuring characters without dp's yes a little the looming fear of a mashed dp mid combo or on wake up. i would say i dont respect certain characters during oki and wake up senarios because of no dp but it jsut narrows down the equation in my thinking. but still one wrong guess or miss timed meaty and you will still eat a flash kick,spinning mixer or ex SBK.


as a fellow stick player im going to state right off the bat you dont need a stick to play/be good. any little irritations on stick maybe not being used to moving a little bit of your forarm around or a slight ichyness from your wrist rubbing on the plexy of a stick, that can easly be solved by wearing a wristband or elevating your wrist. im not sure about hittbox besides the fact you will have to order one witch can be expensive or build your own. as for pad are you using the ps4 pad? if thats causing trouble for you with blisters try a pad with a disc rather then directions like the mad catz fightpad pro and before anyone says anything they fixed the input issue. other wise if you can pick up the sfiv theme fightpads those are very good as they jsut like the fightpad pro have a smooth plastic disc instead of a textured surface like the playstation pad and instead of pressing down you can roll your thumb for comands

when i get taunted do i get mad? i personally dont it depends on the person. generally people see it as disrespectful and rude, but under the right context it can be fun just take the round when you can i cringe when i see someone get bodied after they taunted for the win.
