I use the Korean Fanta, but only bc I’m used to Tekken Tag. T4 and up pad is just fine, a lot of top players use them. One thing I have heard a few of them mention though is that certain pads do much better than others, so it may become an issue of finding a pad that feels “perfect” for you specifically :tup:
lmao
oh and fuck dual shock!!!
ps1 pad ftw, i’m not the only one who uses one for this game however most of ours broke… i was dedicated enough to go out and find another one AND open the old one and take the dpad and buttons out and put them into the new one so i wouldn’t have to break them in again since for tekken breaking in a new pad takes about 3 months

My personal opinions in order.
S Tier
Korean Fanta Myongshin Stick
Korean Fanta Taejoung Hard Rubber (Broken in for at least 1 year or more)
PS1 Gray Dual Shock Pad (Broken in for at least one month)
Upper Mid Tier
Yellow Namco PS 1 Stick
PS 1 Pad (These may vary)
Mid Tier
Black PS 2 Dual Shock 2
PS 3 Dual Shock 3
T5 Anniversary Hori Stick also Hori Stick used in T5 cabinet.
Sanwa JLF or HRAP 1 and HRAP 2 series.
Lower Mid
Green and Blue PS 2 Dual Shock 2
Brand New PS 3 Six Axis
Garbage Tier
Stock Saulabi Stick.
Feel free to disagree with me if you have good reasons.
A couple of notes:
I am slightly biased towards the PS 1 Dual Shock.
A broken in six axis might jump up a tier.
The Green and Blue Dual Shock 2 are complete trash compared to the black one.
Yes, the PS 2 T5 Anniversary Hori Stick is better than the Sanwa JLF one in the HRAP 1.
Yellow PS 1 Namco shits on everything except for Korean stick.
how does a Korean Fanta stick feel compared to a sanwa stick.
I find I prefer my Seimitsu sticks to me Sanwa sticks. Will that make any tangible difference? This will be the first Tekken I’m gonna play on stick.
^ I forsee no problems whatsoever.
Heumm, apparently it’s almost like apples and oranges.
The Sanwa JLF, along with almost every other arcade joystick, uses a spring to re-center it. A Korean stick uses rubber instead. Predictably, it feels a little “gummier” to press outward, but in a good way (hard to imagine that). Supposedly the push back to neutral is not really any less strong or quick, though, just a little smoother to decelerate. It’s considered by most to be just as or just about as accurate and responsive for triggering.
I believe the resistance it offers is more than a JLF but less than anything American. Sounds like it might be comparable to a Seimitsu LS-32 or something, I dunno.
The engage distance is pretty close to the JLF. I thiiink the Korean sticks have smaller throws but I’m not positive on that. I don’t know what the restriction area is like; I don’t believe they use gates, but of course there still must be some limit to their moveable range. Let’s guess together and say a square with very rounded corners, hahah.
In particular, or at least highly among other things, the Fantas are prized for the ease at which they allow one to perform robot-fast wavedashing.
If you can’t tell, I’ve barely ever used Korean sticks. I’m mostly just going from things I remember reading in other people’s posts.
During T5 in NorCal I remember a lot of people bringing in their own sticks to the arcades(so you know how the stick feels, and not worry about whether it is too loose or tight), some used PS2/PS1 pads. It seemed like a good mix to me. I prefer Japanese sanwa sticks, but for Tekken pad is playable.
if I play pad, that’s the only way I can play.
Good description. The gummier feel only applies to the taeyoung fanta when it’s new not so much the myongshin stick. It definitely feels weird to 2d players.
Interesting that you said it’s a square with rounded corners haha. To me, it feels smooth and controlled like an circular american stick but with the precision of a sanwa JLF. The engage distance is practically the same but the throw is not smaller actually perhaps even slightly bigger on the ones I’ve tried. I believe the Seimitsus have the shortest throw range.
It doesn’t have a gate but it has some type of metal thing that actually hits the cherry switches instead of the joystick directly hitting the switch.
For those who can only play marvel vs capcom 2 on an american stick, I think they would prefer to play on a taeyoung fanta stick over a JLF stick if they had to choose.
Metal thing? You mean the tabbed microswitches? Seimitsus are like that too. The bottom part of the korean joystick has an actuator on it like any other type of stick. The biggest difference would of course be the rubber used as opposed to spring (although there is a discontinued springed korean joystick).
–Getting back to neutral has always been easier for me on these things and I’ve never had anything feel so natural.
Ah good posts, dudes. :lol:
If your a hardcore Mishima player such as myself IMO stick is the way to go. Light dashing into WR2 and EGWF feels like smooth butter. I can play Mishima’s on pad but they feel limited. I do have trouble snake dashing a little on pad though. As far as KBD’s is concerned pad works fine. When I taught Sanford the KBD he found it easier to do it on a PS1 pad. It came out really fast similar to Arario’s KBD. However his wave dash nor his KBD could match my speed on stick. Plus it’s more consistent and you thumb will get less fatigue on stick. However using a stick for these complex movements will take a lot of practice unlike pad. The plus side is you will never miss an EWGF with this motion grafted into your hands. In T6BR Mishimas, King/AK, Beak, Hworang, and even Roger have wave dashes. I did find the KBD not as useful in T6 as it was in DR and T5 and especially tag. They actually shortened the dash distance.
there can be top players who use pad or stick. it all depends on your character or preference
most US players use pad (with some exceptions)
players in Japan or Korea mostly use stick because they play in arcades a lot.
The only advantage I see stick having over pad is that stick players can light dash (movement tool used by mishimas). It’s not really an advantage, because it’s not really a requirement to be good.
I’m a top player, and I use pad.
And Bob…

Weren’t you the guy who taught Daigo how to fireball as well?
Pad is fine for tekken. You won’t get made fun of, if that’s what you’re asking.
Wavedashing? In Tekken? Is that the same as wavedashing in SSB Melee?
I’m kind of a n00b when it comes to Tekken…I don’t play it that often, and when I do, it isn’t competitively.
On topic, I’ve always played Tekken with a PS1/PS2 controller. I’m not used to playing on a stick, as I’ve only been to an arcade a few times.
