The stock gamepad is pretty great for most Xbox One and PS4 games, but for fighting games, you really want an arcade-style fight stick. Not only do you get the requisite number of buttons to mash, in the correct form factor, but they can take a lot of punishment and give you more precision than the standard, hand-held controller that came with your console. Quick movements and rapid button presses are what fighting sticks are made for, and who doesn’t love a good old joystick?
Big box stores and your favorite online retailers are swimming with options, so it can be tough to know where to start. If you need a little guidance, here are the best fighting sticks to get you started.
