it takes time to get used to the motions. Imo dpad is the best when it comes to a controller.

I thought about getting a fight stick for a while but decided i dont hink its worth. Its a lot of money and you have eto totally learn a new thing. while i feel like its a good idea to get a stick if you are new to the game and really want to get a stick, but since i never used one then i dont think i need it. Like the other posters have said, its all about muscle memory

i've never been a fan of the dpad for the ps4 controller and while i played SFV for a while, i decided to try out other controllers since i was having a hard time with some motions. I eventually bought a Fighting Commander 5. The dpad is so much better and overall the controller is just better when it comes to fighting games like this. it will take a a few days to get used to since the face buttons are in slightly different positions, but once you get it down its super comfortable. I now have no thoughts of changing controllers at all

Get the commander 5 if you hold a controller and use it in the traditional sense with your thumbs. This is what I use. And they are only like $35.

The Commander 4 is made for the dual finger style when u hit the buttons with your pointer and index finger.

Yeah gamestops website had it for 12 dollars but it says out of stock and when you call then they say they never sold it, I did see this https://www.amazon.com/PS4-PS3-compatible-Fighting-commander-14210711/dp/B017QORK8W/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1UN54CKHOGA37&dchild=1&keywords=hori+fighting+commander&qid=1615321989&sprefix=hori+fighting%2Caps%2C171&sr=8-3 which says I can get for 51 new but it also doesn't have the ps logo so I'm afraid it's some cheap knockoff

For the price of a DualShock you can get a fightpad, think of it as a pad that’s more optimized for fighting games. The Hori Fighting Commander is really good, the only downside is that the dpad is kinda stiff before breaking it in. link
