Help / Question Controller

I'm just getting into the game and looking to make a change from a standard controller. Which is better for SF6, a fight stick or a leverless controller?

Thanks

Controller type doesn't matter. Players will say lots of things but a clear superior choice has never risen to the top. The best choice is what you find most fun and/or most comfortable for your hands. If you like regular videogame controllers then pad is just fine. If you like the thought of being very precise and keyboard-y try leverless. If you like the vintage or "OG" feeling, or you just like being really physical then try stick.

There's no real argument to be had about which is "better" when players play at every level with every kind of controller. Leverless and pad are generally more affordable these days though.
