No offense taken. Truth be told, this is a rather refreshing bit of news to hear. I use a PS3 controller myself, and it makes me happy to hear that I'm not a fool for so doing.Not to sound rude, but none of them are in any way inherently better.
Your controller of choice will be what you feel most comfortable with. I use a stick, Oreo uses a pad, and Nappy uses either keyboard of hitbox (basically a stick with only buttons, a stick-keyboard).
Whatever works best for you is the best!
It's all about personal preferences really. I've been using pad all my life but due to certain misfortunes I just said F-it and moved to stick.And why? I ask because it seems that many of us here are new to the scene, and don't really know what the difference would be (myself included).
hitboxes? What are those?In theory, keyboards/hitboxes should have a mechanical advantage over the rest, but hitboxes are so new that there aren't really any high level players who are accustomed to them over other input devices
Of course, what you're comfortable is going to be the most important part by a long shot

Have you tried any of the fightpads? The ones made by MadCatz and Hori, respectively.With that being said, I prefer the Xbox One controller (More specifically the Elite Xbox One controller, cause the regular Xbox One controller triggers are bad for fighting games).
Before that it was a general 360 controller.
Now I'm tempted to do this out of spite. Besides, that would be kind of cool to be shredding as you play against your opponent.you can do well on any peripheral even a rock band keyboard. just don't fall under the misconception that all options are the exactly same
I have not actually, I'm not against ever trying them it's just that I haven't really been in contact with any before. Throughout the years I stuck with a normal controller for the reason of liking the feel of triggers in the back.Have you tried any of the fightpads? The ones made by MadCatz and Hori, respectively.
You should think about getting a larger actuator if you want to shorten the throw.I generally feel a lot more comfortable with a pad because I find smaller movements on a dpad to work better than large sweeps on a stick.
If you like Keyboard seriously look into a Hitbox. They are fantastic and perfect for keyboard users.I am a dirty keyboard pleb..... i cant wrap my head around a controller for fighting games for some reason.
keyboard just feels natural to me, but its not good for fighting games... a stick is probably the best option though
never saw these before but they look really cool, i just wonder what the build quality is likeIf you like Keyboard seriously look into a Hitbox. They are fantastic and perfect for keyboard users.
It's pretty much the same as a fightstick so long as ya get those high quality parts like sanwa I think it was, not sure on what you'd find from pre-built ones but you can expect they can be built well.never saw these before but they look really cool, i just wonder what the build quality is like
The actual Hitboxes are really good quality. I can't vouch for any 3rd party stuff though.never saw these before but they look really cool, i just wonder what the build quality is like
DDR Master RaceObviously a DDR pad is the best way to go.
It might be the gate. I myself use an octagonal gate, because I find quarter-circle and half-circle movements to be easier with an octagonal gate in my fightstick.I actually learned with the analog on a dreamcast controller. MvsC2 was the first thing I played a ton and eventually when moving to MvsC3, using the analog on the controller still felt better to me then using the pad. I personally kinda prefer it, its like a mini stick I guess... requires a bit more movement then a pad but nothing as extreme as a fight stick (tried one and god, its hard to do directional inputs for some reason).
