I cannot attest to the quality of Mayflash fight sticks. If you're looking at something like this then I'll say I bought something very similar for the PS2, I'm talking probably the same stick even, and the build quality was very poor. The buttons specifically were so stiff they were hard to press. I bought it and a converter to play a Wii fighting game, but the stick's quality bummed me out enough to quit. If I had played the game as much as I wanted, maybe the buttons would have loosened up... or maybe I would have accidentally broken the thing.

However a stick like that would work on PC. I mean, it would plug in, and the buttons and stick would function. It'd just be a cheap, potentially crappy/easily broken stick. I bought my PS2 stick like 6 years ago so maybe the build quality is better now.

If you want my recommendatiom, I'd buy a regular pad like the PS3/PS4 pad or 360/One pad. The idea that fighting games are best played on sticks is a myth; many pro players in every game use pad and dominate. Many theorize that pads are actually superior overall to sticks. In fact, the penultimate controller for fighters seems to be something called a "Hit Box" which replaces the stick entirely with buttons (very similar to a keyboard at that point). What it boils down to is using something comfortable... which I worry the mayflash stick won't be.

Anyways, I'd recommend a pad because they're just as good as sticks, if not better, and they can be used for multiple types of games. The best pad users seem to like the PS3 style pad, which would be the one I recommend since its the cheapest with a decent dpad... though, personally, when I use pad, I use the analog sticks. If you REALLY want a stick, the only quality ones I know of are in the $150 range... stuff like this. It's possible to buy a cheapo stick and upgrade it with nicer parts, and its not necessarily all that hard, but that's a lot of hoops to jump through to play DBZ.

The Mayflash F300 is super cheap and really durable and comes with great parts- nothing beats this within that price range and many people start off w/ the F300 due to these reasons; it's an overall great stick and has an amazing price.

The F300 has a newer version though which is the F500 it's about $30 more expensive, but the case itself is a bit bigger so it sits on the lap easier(also better for people with bigger hands) and has some metal plates on the top and bottom which means more durability and just feels more premium. It also includes more features than the F300 such as: a headphone jack(apple?) and a much easier artwork change option. Hopefully this helps, but you should also watch some YouTube vids about budget fightsticks as theres tons of content about those :)

I just picked up the Qanba Drone fight stick. It’s cool for beginners. $60 but you can swap the stick and buttons when you want to upgrade. Takes some time getting used to it but once I got a button layout that worked for me, I prefer it to the DualShock.

That said, whatever is most comfortable to you is your best bet. The game’s default controls have a controller in mind so you’re set either way.

Tldr: Qanba Drone is a $60 beginner’s fightstick. Mod ready. Slight learning curve but I felt it was worth it. Do u tho.

I have two fightsticks. The first one I bought was a cheap Hori one, which wasn't particularly that good. Then I got this bad boy and have never looked back: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-PlayStation-Licensed-8-Button-Arcade/dp/B00NHDSINS/ref=sr_1_5?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1520770477&sr=1-5&keywords=fightstick

It's not the flashiest fight stick with lots of extra buttons/functionalities, but it's rock solid and incredibly comfortable/responsive to play with. Plus it's pretty reasonably priced as well.

But yeah, I would suggest doing some research before you invest. See what others recommend and make a budget for how much you're willing to invest.

The RAP mini is okay but I wouldn't recommend it if you're going to upgrade. The buttons are small, not like all the other fightsticks. I would recommend the qanba drone instead : https://www.amazon.com/Qanba-Drone-PlayStation-4/dp/B01I0GEDEY

It's the cheapest fightstick that is worth it for the money, its only $10 more than the hori mini. The qanba drone also uses regular sized buttons so if you ever feel the need to commit to a larger stick in the future, the transition will be easier since it'll be same button sizes and stick size. The hori mini is small and it would be uncomfortable to play on your lap since you'd have to balance it on one knee, on top of that it doesn't have a lot of space for your wrists and hands. The drone is much more comfortable and has a slope for your wrists.

I high suggest you look at either this fight pad by HORI or this MadCatz one not many people think about getting a pad but its a say cheaper alternative than buying a stick and a WAAAAYY better DPAD than yourre used to i bought the Mad Catz one and it was the best decision i have made. espcially if youre looking for something wto help with your inputs these definetly do the trick as an aleternative to the controller and as a form of a "good cheap" fight stick. i know you said you were looking for a stick but these a great other options that most people arent aware of . and if you are aware of them and you say frick that get this fight stick.

This is a pretty good one. I've used the elite and the razer and i think the razer is better for fighting games. I like the dpad better as well.

I use tp-link power line adapters and they work really well for me but Im not sure how they would work in an apartment building. All you have to do is plug one into an outlet and your router then the other one plugs into the wall and wires to your xbox. They send the signal over the powerlines but the 2 outlets and power lines all have to be on the same circuit for it to connect. In an apartment your outlets may not all be on the same circuit like they would a house. You could definitely get some from walmart or amazon and return them if they dont work. They run about $50 for cheaper ones and 80-90 for better ones

Heres what I have

i lowkey play on a 35 dollar arcade stick ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015PHMFU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_GBidBbJZ5EC4K ) and it's fine

Ive never really played with a proper fight stick but that one's cheap as fuck compared to the rest and works good. though since it's a ps3 stick technically you need joytokey to set it up correctly

edit: i also used this for when i was laying down in bed ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7ANDLC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_iDidBbT9CRE2Y lowkey one of the best dpad controllers ive ever used) and everything was going great until i saw i absolutely had to have an lt button to go to third character

This is the best one I've found after a long search. Bought it last week and I love it. D-pad is much better than thr pro controller.

I have the model under this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07D7P4SY1/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile
I've found a GTX 1070 is a must, my laptop has G-sync which makes FGs look amazing and actually improves input lag. Only issue is battery life is pretty awful. Anyways, I can play the game on max everything without any problems and this has an updated processor so the game should run amazing.

Thanks! I actually do have some Qs, if you don’t mind:
Do you know if the this Pokken controller would be ok for DBFZ? https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Tournament-Controller-Officially-Licensed-Pokemon/dp/B01A6LEXFK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538839074&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=hori+nintendo&dpPl=1&dpID=51V7JpqB2eL&ref=plSrch

Is there a resource anywhere that has each fighters stats? Like a spreadsheet or something? I’ve honestly been looking, but haven’t found anything.

Thanks again!

The first controller that comes to mind for good D Pads on PC would be the Xbox 360 controller with a transforming D Pad. It's a metal D Pad that has a much better design than the original 360 D Pad (the cross part is a lot more concaved and your thumb more easily slides over it). Also you can twist the D Pad itself to have the corner bits drop away so you just have the cross part of the D Pad that your thumb touches. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Controller-Transforming-Charge/dp/B00936K09S

At some point I plan on modding my Switch Pro controller like this guy did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQNPVGLdOyU&t

Yeah. I’m only seeing a steam code

Good luck man. Hope to see you and other Indians in the arena.

If you're playing on pad, just use any USB game controller you already have. The most important thing is that you think it's comfortable.

If you want personal anecdotes, I'm currently using a HORI Fighting Commander, and it's pretty nice.

You're not going to have any issues if you're on 5ghz with a wireless N or AC router. They aren't even expensive.

A wireless AC router is just as good as plugging in an ethernet cable and should get you gigabit speeds.

The only caveat is the original PS4 doesn't support 5ghz iirc. The slim and the new one do though and every model of the Xbox One does.

EDIT: I also posted more info in this post too but some ignoramus' (including OP) just downvoted it out of sheer ignorance.

EDIT 2: Here's a link to a great and affordable gigabit wireless AC router. Only 90 bucks. ASUS makes one for about 65 that's almost as good (shittier management interface/options).

If your PC literally only has one USB port, then yes. If you have multiple, or can make due by unplugging stuff (like unplugging a USB mouse or keyboard after launching the game), then no.

If you're using wireless controllers, you're also using an adapter, and a lot of them support multiple connections (the official XOne one supports 8), so you'd only need one USB port for the adapter.

Edit:

It's possible that one party might be fine using the keyboard as their controller. There are some people who prefer it even. If that's the case (doubt it 😉), one port is fine.

Some older games even let you map half the keyboard to P1 and the other half to P2. I doubt DBFZ will allow this (the other games the devs have made haven't), but who knows lol

I use a Qanba Drone. It's not the greatest stick on the planet but it does the job and I greatly enjoy it. If you're looking to get into big time fighting tournaments, my buddy recommends buying something more expensive. But if you're just looking for a fun time then this will do the trick.

Personally I bought the Mayflash F500 and bought a replacement stick and buttons from here. I'm super happy with it. My only complaint is that the rubber pads on the bottom did fall off presumably to cheap glue, but that's easily fixed. Feels really solid for the price point of ~110, plus it's my own stick, ya know.

https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA this model right?
You sure you’re just not accustomed to flipping your motions? This is the model i use without issue. But controllers are all preference with comfortability. You may like the ds4 much more than i do. Xbox ones controllers dpad was pretty good too but not terribly comfy.

Unfortunately strangers on the internet are not mind readers.

You should really consider looking into alternative input methods. Brolylegs plays with literally his tongue due to being literally unable to use his hands for anything practical.

I don't know how severe your nerve damage is or where it's centralized, but if you can type at a steady 15WPM you should consider utilizing a keyboard or a Hitbox controller. Or even alternatively a normal fightstick, if your wrists are far better off than your fingers.

Alternatively if you're playing on PC, you can reduce the strain of your hands by getting something like this foot pedal thing. Hook it up to an AutoHotkey script for basic inputs and you can probably work something out.

They have actual game pad controller which you actually could benefit off of. There pretty legit, here's one so you have an idea of what I mean. https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Commander-PlayStation-Officially-Licensed-4/dp/B01GVOFIAA

I love this one:
https://www.amazon.com/HORI-Real-Arcade-Pro-PlayStation-4/dp/B00SULMRI4

I don't know about that Madcatz one, but I love my Hori Fighting Commander.

If you get a stick for under $100, at the very least make sure it's easily modiable. I don't know much Xbox arcade sticks but I usually recomend a Qanba Drone but since you're on Xbox you'll have to use a Converter. There is also a Evo edition with Sanwa parts already installed

I played on a pad but made the switch to an arcade stick about 8 years ago? I had only been playing fighters for a year on a pad at that point and it was a pretty difficult switch. Took me at least a couple months but personally I feel playing on a stick is a lot more fun!

That said, the cheapest option for a fight stick right now would be the HRAP4. You don't have to buy a stick any cheaper than this because they're really bad and not worth it.

> I'm pretty sure Hori RAP 4 is a PS4 controller.



It is not a PS4 controller, it is a brand and version of fight stick


That being said though, I can understand older sticks having problems.

This works for me! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HT2TSSQ/ref=asc_df_B01HT2TSSQ5476998/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B01HT2TSSQ&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241949383120&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16333690441343633758&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024578&hvtargid=pla-375849899030

I'd recommend the Hori Fighting Commander:
