There's not even any point practicing on sub-60 fps, brother. Sorry to say.

That said, old games are better anyways. If you have 3rd strike available, you should try that. It's A Good Game. (pls don't start this derail)

Right now this thread is like every programming discussion ever:

Someone comes in asking a basic question. Most people answer the question. One guy completely overthinks it and extrapolates way too much. Then someone chimes in and asks what language you're using. At that point, everything derails into "C++ IS BETTER gently caress YOU" and "NO PYTHON IS BETTER SUCK IT." Then the original guy asking the question fucks off and disappears while everyone is fighting over their language of choice.

I want to play sfV when it comes out on ps4 but the default DS4 controller sucks, can't do halfcircles great on the pad and the stick is just too imprecise for dragonpunches and poo poo. would one of those madcatz controllers be best? I've never played with a joystick fightpad before.

The ds4 is actually pretty good imo but if you're looking for a pad I personally recommend this

I keep hearing that the PDP pad is built cheap and breaks super easy, which sucks because it uses a clickystick and that is the best thing ever besides an arcade stick.

I really wish someone made a good quality pad with replaceable microswitches for the D-Pad and buttons. Replacing pads because the D-pad wore out is not fun and also really god drat expensive.

I made the mistake of buying one of those PDP MKX pads and that was 50 bucks down the drain. It lasted all of 3 days of moderate KI play before just making GBS threads the bed and causing multiple button presses of the same button of a single press. Those madcatz pads look pretty sweet but that Hori pad is probably the best thing on the market right now.

It'd be cool if it was aligned right but my first one (directly ordered from PDP no less) was off-center and then the replacement they sent was also hosed up.

Waste of money.

3s is actually NOT good. If you want a great game try Yatagarasu. it's the spiritual successor to 3s that improves on the formula immensely.

srsly who wants to play this lamer?
I went through 3 madcatz pads, a hori fighting commander pro 3 and a hori turbo ex 2 before just grabbing one of those sfxt madcatz pro's for £70. It's crazy how quickly a d-pad direction or button wears out, and once that happens the pad is worthless. The prices were between £20-£45 each as well.

My stick, on the other hand, has only ever had two buttons start to feel a little bit loose in about 2 years. Costs about £2-3 to replace.

Since the 60fps thing is so important, maybe I should just go practice combos for Third Strike and SF2 instead. Those 10-yen machines have been way more popular than the SF4 ones over the years anyway in my experience.

Those games are also more fun and the combos aren't as dumb.

punching a meat sack in the stomach so that they double over and then giving them the double ax-handle in the back so hard that they literally bounce off the ground and fly into the sky is the best thing.

Console releases of Tekken games are way more replete with content than the arcade versions, and are usually the "final" version of the game (i.e. post-arcade-content-updates, post-balance-tweaks, etc.). It can be like two years from initial JP arcade release to US console release.

Harada basically hates DLC as a principle, so they haven't done that yet. He has said that while he would never charge for new characters, he could be badgered into putting non-essential stuff as DLC, though what he cited was more like music from previous Tekken games, old story mode endings, etc.

Namco has been harassing the poo poo out of him for years to put more DLC in, and I'm kind of amazed he's been able to get away with not doing it for this long.
