The Best PS5 Arcade Stick for Street Fighter 6 ? - Hori Fighting Stick Alpha Review 2023 FightStick

[@coutiya2007]

Bought this tonight as my first personal fight stick. It should arrive by the 5th Mar. I'm looking forward to it because as someone who grew up using sticks. It is pretty difficult playing Tekken and GG on pad. Finally I'm out of the dark ages of misinputs and discomfort. Edit: I changed the actuator to a 2mm and the spring to a 2lb and now the stick obits aren't reading

[@MayanMaize]

Update?

[@Wrekkshoppe]

Congrats to you buddy. What's the update on your first new fightstick? How you liking it?

[@coutiya2007]

Oh update, yeah I just pull it apart and put it back together and it works again. The 2mm actuator and 2lb spring was very necessary because of the large dead zone and long time to return to neutral. But it works great. I can't believe I've never gotten one before. My execution is much more precise

[@cagethelonewolf]

I agree I biguht a mayflash and gave up because the button placements are ass, these seem alot better and hopefully my specials and supers become constant so I can keep stomping without combos

[@thesmoovest]

Just ordered this a few days ago. Needed a stick to use on playstation since im primarily xbox. Hoping we get more universal sticks in the future. Dont think we have enough universals out here.

[@ScubaProDiver]

If anyone else is from Canada and looking for this fight stick Canada Computers has them for online sale right now. Just placed my order 5 minute ago and have SF6 downloading at the moment!

[@Bandersnatch786]

The slot for the USB dongle has been there since the release of this stick for Xbox which was a couple of years ago at this point. They haven't done anything with it and probably won't. It's likely just a left over feature from the CAD drawing during prototyping.

[@KioBoomDiekin]

Licensed controllers work because the encoder inside is authentic. If someone buys a used official co troller and someone modded it and removed that specific encoder it won’t work

[@cagethelonewolf]

Glad you showed the guts, I used to use a mayflash and it wasn't enjoyable, I totally forget about square and octangel gates, I hope it comes with one. I'm getting tried of not doing supers of inputs because of the steamdeck dpa. I know a fightstick don't magically make you better but atlest my inputs will be constent so i can learn combos. I got good fundamentals and win most matches without even being able to combo all I need are my specials and supers

[@chillwillmuzik7114]

I have this stick. That slot inside is for a usc c adapter. Incase u plan to connect to the ps5’s usb c port.

[@serdarguc1298]

ps5 do you think razer kitsune or is this brand?

[@ninetendopesaitama2107]

Bought this stick as series x version . Amazing stick and i dont mind the weight. Easy swappable parts and overall functional design and i guess the weight is a part of it. Nice to carry due to the flat design and the handles. Hori has never dissapointed me. ☮️

[@Khinh-xq6lx]

the flip mod is a must opening the stick is convenience

[@GR8GUY54]

Jump to the 2:00 minute part to actually start the review.

[@MetabolicFrolic]

I'm curious how far the legacy support goes. Will a PS3 MadCatz SE/TE work for SF6 on the PS5? I doubt it, but I'd like to see if anyone can try.

[@dukk8866]

Brooks Wingman FGC makes any stick work on PS5. I'm using Xbox 360 Madcatz sticks along with this one

[@ScubaProDiver]

@@dukk8866maxamillion dood viewer too? Lol love that guy!

[@jessa.3857]

​@@dukk8866 Yup, I just ordered it for my SF4 Madcatz TE Xb360 stick. Im still thinking about picking up a new stick like the Qanba Obsidian 2.

[@autobot_dawson]

Might have to pick this thing up! Thanks Briar!

[@serdarguc1298]

razer kitsune or hori alpha, I haven't tried either of them.

[@GarydeBrown]

Also, let’s see a review of the DualSense Edge! I just got mine. Haven’t opened it yet, but with the haptics, speaker and mic, so I don’t have to wear headphones on a fireteam, makes it my favorite controller of all time. 💯

[@bludika]

my biggest gripe about this stick is that it's got too much plastic and it doesn't have a good enough weight, it's way too light. Also it has this hallow plasticky sound when playing, i wish it had more sound dampening material and also more metal body parts for that rigidity and weight

[@vincenzovieri3743]

Just pre ordered the sf6 hori edition. It’s beautiful. Also wats cool is it comes with a link or code/drive that allows u to print up to 20 different of ur favorite fighters so u can switch the cover. That’s crazy! I never heard a company do that that was sponsored by another publisher. I’m definitely putting Juri’s feet on my cover oh yes yummers!

[@MarioMtz13]

Would you mind sharing the artwork images with us? I would love to use it on mine

[@Undermog]

I have a Hori PS4 stick and I can confirm it does NOT work with PS5 games. It works fine with PS4 games on PS5 but not native PS5 games unless the game has legacy controller support - which most big-budget fighting games should have, don't expect it to work with newly released shmups or anything though.

[@Wrekkshoppe]

The PS5 games themselves have to support the controllers. The point is that your Hori DOES indeed work on your PS5. New PS5 shmups will more than likely have legacy controller support as well.

[@Undermog]

@@Wrekkshoppe Well, it would probably depend on the company making/porting the game. I know some PS5 games that ideally should have legacy controller support do not, for example Final Vendetta.

[@fony09]

if u like hori sticks get this new one then. its basically the same thing

[@Undermog]

@@fony09 Thanks, I can't justify buying one new, but I've been keeping an eye out for a deal :)

[@fony09]

@@Undermog yeah if u play street fighter a lot then getting this stick when it goes on sale is gonna be so worth it

[@rontay7601]

Hori come square joystick. Is that good? I suppose a hexagon one is better?

[@Shinobi33]

I got this Hori stick ,the SF6 edition. Can I use this stick on other consoles with a McBoot or Mayfair converter? Also, I want to get a Mayfair stick with Sanwa buttons. Can I use that on my PS5 with a converter? Thx for your help.

[@jarnbjorn4522]

kind of in between this or the mad catz te2, always wanted the te2 but never got them. what do you think?

[@HD-mm1iz]

@Briar Rabbit, do you have any tutorials on how to swap out the Hayabusa Joystick setup (restrictor plate, joystick), to a Sanwa setup? Please respond, thanks!

[@UnrealTournament420]

Can we still use the graphic inserts for the sf6 version, in this version? I like the black boarders over the purple ones of the hori sf6 version stick

[@ForestTekkenVideos]

The crowne buttons sounded so nice to my ears! Really great video! I had a HRAP4 and it broke without me using it much at all. It's made me think Hori definitely has some way of making it only last for a certain amount of time before it breaks because while it wasn't new, it was still straight out of the box pretty much. So I personally might avoid Hori products.

[@fony09]

i use my stick all the time and got it in july last year and its still like new. u bought a used stick so u got what u paid for. always buy a new stick

[@ForestTekkenVideos]

@@fony09 it was new i just didn't use it for years

[@kamegenius6309]

I've been using a HRAP v3 SA for about 10 years and it still works prefectly well (I use it everyday for about 2/3 hours, mainly on KOF and SF6). That being said, my very first stick was a Hory Fighting Stick 2 for Playstation 2, and it was an horrible Arcade Stick. That's why I was hoping for an HRAP for PS5, but it still yet to come.

[@-cactus.raven-]

Disappointed they didn’t change the design so the cable was stored away from the button cables

[@joep8830]

How do you pull wires from buttons to replace artwork please help

[@KING_KONK]

That usb indentation is for your cable usb so it doesn’t get in your way ya dingus

[@HushMySweet1]

Nice overview on a solid little stick.

[@marvelsnap-e5h]

Has that Hori Alpha Sticky got 6 pin connector connected to lever? Somebody maybe know that is it work like normal 5 pin conector? Can somebody explain me whats going on with that connector.

[@TonySpontano]

Why arcadesticks have always R1/R2 and L1/L2 switched sides? Rights on left and Lefts on right side ??

[@jessa.3857]

How are the Hayabusa parts in this stick? Are they adequate enough to play without getting annoyed and wanting to change out the parts?

[@GarydeBrown]

Yesssss!! Any content from my favorite DCP-Jedi makes it a good day.

[@jamescroce753]

[@5fiveform]

Does the fighting stick alpha have any way of changing the stick from Dpad - Left Stick - Right Stick ? Can't find a definitive yes / no anywhere online

[@BriarRabbit]

Not that I know of. It’s possible it’s configurable in the companion app, but I haven’t seen it. The Qanba sticks do have that feature.

[@5fiveform]

@@BriarRabbit No worries thank you, not a deal breaker just good to know, I'll keep a controller on hand for customising costumes 😂

So if i buy a ps4 fighting stick will it work on tekken 8 or street fighter 6 on ps5

[@bosshog050409]

Can you use the stick to play ea sports ps5 games

[@Drvillain1]

So is this the same as the SF6 edition, without the Street fighter photo & purple color?

[@DutchDeathGod]

Yeah completely the same.

[@BriarRabbit]

That’s correct.

Is the modding vid of this up?

Will my ps4 mad catz stick work??

I have a PS5 Them’s Fightin Herds game, Qanba Drone Joystick with the Official Licensed Product on the box, plugged that fight stick in the PS5 console, Herds game into the console, play the disc and for some strange reason, the Herds game did not read my Drone at all. PS4 games still reads my Drone, but not my PS5 Fightin Herds So I have to upgraded by purchasing the Fighting Stick Alpha for that and my PS5 Them’s Fightin Herds reads my Alpha.

[@fony09]

yeah the stick works on ps5 but the game has to support the controller so yeah it was best to buy the ps5 stick cause it'll work on all games regardless

[@deathtouch5764]

Hi does this have turbo function? I have a hori FS3 it’s has 2 turbo settings 1 press = 20 presses & 1 press = 10

[@rmcf3972]

I saw from other youtube vid, this hori alpha does not have turbo.

you don't want lag with an arcade stick so wireless defeats the purpose for an arcade stick, might as well just use your controller

[@hanzohattori9576]

The stock buttons are amazing. They are sanwa buttons but slightly more sensitive so I can do faster inputs. The stick is sanwa but a little more sensitive, once again for faster inputs. But unlike past Hori sticks, this one is more precise.
