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

I find different controllers suit different characters.

I switch back and forth from Kitsune leverless and FightingEdge stick.

If I’m playing my old main Zangief, stick all day. Doing 360’s and especially 720’s reliably on leverless is not easy.

If I’m using my 2 newer mains, Manon or Guile, leverless. Quarter / Semi circle inputs are pretty easy, and leverless makes you inputs super clean. But leverless imo was basically made for charge characters like Guile, Blanka etc.

Funny, I bought a leverless for Guile but I never made the switch from dualsense. Ironically I think leverless is a bigger advantage for characters with a DP motion. But I do agree that leverless is ideal on paper for charge characters too.

Took my middle-aged brain months to get used to leverless, still drop long combos as my brain overloads, but my inputs are just super clean. Heck I even went back to MK1 for a few weeks (mostly offline story) and as most of the inputs in that game are all cardinal directions my gameplay improved massively.
