Street Fighter Pro Setups – Best Stick and Controller

Stick Street Fighter

Not your typical Street Fighter. Sticks and stones don’t break Laura’s bones.

The Street Fighter series might possibly be responsible for the death of thousands of sticks and controllers. And EVO might be the graveyard of Street Fighter Sticks. We are gonna have a look at the sticks of the pros and show you what to pick.

Finding the best Street Fighter stick or best Street Fighter Controller can be difficult. Most of us just read reviews and get recommendations in forums and decide on a stick or a controller after that. For everyone that wants to get competitive with Street Fighter 4 or 5, we look what the professional players are using. The pros are winning tournaments, championships and the Capcom Pro Tour. So they must be doing something right.

The Street Fighter pros chose a variety of different sticks and controllers. Pros like Infiltration, Daigo, Justin Wong, Phenom, Julio Fuentes or Chris Tatarian rely on different gear and have various expectations of these products. Most of these players even modify their gear with different buttons and sticks to get a further edge on their opponents. Whether you are playing on XBOX or PS4 most of these items are available for both consoles and/or PC. Even if they arent, you can always use an adapter like this.

In this list we try to figure out which players are using which controllers and sticks for which character. So if you play a particular character you are able to figure out quickly which stick or controller is best for you. Additionally, if you have a specific pro player you can see which stick and character they are using as well. This list sortable so you can quickly have an overview over the gear or characters different teams are using as well. We focused on the 20 most active and most beloved players. Remember though, everyone is different. You should always try before you buy. Make sure you are comfortable with a particular stick or controller before you pay for these expensive products.

This list is also a work in progress so please feel free to tell us anything that is wrong in the comments. If you want us to add your favorite player please tell us as well. We really appreciate your help.

    Now I increasingly prefer the Roblox platform. So many of their games are fast-paced, which is why Roblox’s 60fps limit can’t please. So if you want to join and improve your FPS, I advise you to try roblox fpsunlocker
