Finally a reviewer who tries out fighting games with this controller. Literally everyone else just tested it for retro games. Am debating currently between this and the xbox series x for SF5. I assume circle motions worked just as well in SF5 right? You mentioned you don't like the 3 grips on the dpad, so I should get one of the other 2 versions of this controller yea?
I highly recommend this controller for fighting games. I bought the PlayStation One version without the grips. This quickly became my designated fighting game controller. The D-Pad is extremely reliable.
I had the SN30 pro+ YEARS of use, still works, but one of the rubber button is faulty, would cost me £3 to get a replacement and easy fix, but... buying this one now :D -- 8bitdo is the brand
I got the darker gray 8BitDo Pro 2, cause I like the symbols on the buttons, about a week ago and ordered a Retro-Bit Sega Saturn wireless controller with both dongles a few days ago and it is the controller to use for fighting games..but If you use Macro on the 8BitDo Pro 2 it can help you out a lot in certain fighting games or fighting simulation games
If you don't like that texture on the dpad, you should have picked up the other two colors. Hahahaha. I picked up the grey one. Dpad is fantastic. Best controller ever purchased.
I feel quite a bit of lag in wireless compared to DS4. Wired make it closer to DS4 though. Do you have any idea what's the polling rate of the controller? Will you do some input lag testing for this controller? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your review. I just got the pro 2, but mine is transparent purple. So I don't have the grippy markings on my d-pad. I have the traditional arrow markings. I noticed the d-pad is quite stiff compared to my dualshock 4 d-pad. Did you notice this is something that went away over time after breaking it in? or does it stay this way forever?
I think the Pro 2 Classic G is the best 8bitdo product imo factoring in the cheap cost on many sales (I got mine for 25 euro), I would put their mechanical keyboard as #1 if it was full layout / had a numpad
You know I definitely got used to playing sliding, so when I use controllers that have too much friction because they're designed to pivot, it's not nearly as comfortable as it was when I was a kid. My point is I have a trick also it isn't pretty. Just sick your thumb and use the spit to slide around.
Hey I'm trying to either put nina's evil mist command or yoshi's poison mist command on p1 and p2 for pc steam tekken 7 can you do a tutorial for that.
I play Street Fighter 6 on PC and unfortunately my PS4 controller is beginning to play up after a year. Was considering the this controller before but then settled for the PS4 controller, maybe its time I switch the the 8bitdo 🤔
Did you end up doing it? I made the jump to the 8bit do m30 and I love everything except the lb rb buttons (Too thin). This looks like it remedies that so I wanna know. Did you make the jump?
Hi yeah I ended up going for the 8Bitdo pro 2 in the end. I have some mixed feelings about it, the dpad is a bit too flat. But the buttons are nice to press and I haven’t lost my platinum rank so I must be doing something right. Some reason I can’t play wireless even after buying the dongle. Doesn’t seem to pair together for some reason so I play wired. Thinking of switching to hitbox but haven’t had the time to play games lately.
I dont know what you're on, searching dpad pro 2 reddit shows only positive feedbacks and people praising it. Besides, I think the dpad being rigid isnt really a downside it's just up to personal preference. Though if you really have to buy a controller over an arcade stick for fighting games, you'd probably be better off buying the M30 from the same brand
@@cyn1stre Don't buy the M30, is horrible! I tried that and d-pad miss diagonals most of the time and the 3 top buttons are too small and easy to press more buttons togerher.

I would get the other versions if they are available.
I didn't like the d-pad temture as well, so i disassembled my old SN30 and swapped the Dpad
This is exactly why i'll get the Black edition instead of the classic. Maybe later i'll try de 8bitdo arcade stick

Agreed
Even better: in case it wears down after a few years, 8bitdo sells spare parts like the conductive rubbers!

best video ive seen on this controller
Thank you my friend!
Thank you very much. This controller seems excellent!
bought this controller a few months back, don't think ill buy any other brand now
Agreed!
lol loved it when you were giggling when testing out macros
Lol

I'll look into it when I have a chance.
@@FrameCounting any updates?
The other colorway has a less grippy dpad but I find the grips on this one to be nice. But I am also not playing tekken with it haha.
I actually have the gray version as well. They are both good.

if i plug the bluetooth controller in the pc the input lag decreases?
Bro how do I use the p1 and p2 for macro on tekken 7 on on steam
Hey, quick question: if i plug the bluetooth controller in the pc the input lag decreases?

you can now buy a numpad for the retro keyboard
What controller do you use for DOA6 on the PC?
I use the Xbox Series controller.
@@FrameCounting thanks. I guess you don't like the Elite 2 series anymore?
@@robhimselfttv1474 I still like it. But the dpad on the new xbox controller is just so good.

7:25 Hope that helps.
How's the durability tho? That seems to be by far the weak spot of all third party controllers.
I’ll mention durability in my long term reviews.
@@FrameCounting hi! is it still working as good as when you bought it? pretty nice review.
I've had mine for many months, not a single problem, build well not like the old 3rd party garbage of older gens
what color is the best
I like the G-Classic the best
Does the grip on the D-pad wear off after some time or not?
There are different color editions who don't have the d-pad grip
this controler vs the xbox one controller?
Probably this one because of the back buttons.
@@FrameCountingalright, any sign of thumb stick drifting?
@@retrosquall1732 No. But I don’t use controllers for anything other than fighting games. For FPS I use keyboard and mouse.
How is the input lag?
I'll be doing a long term review on this soon that will include input lag test for the controller. Stay tuned.
Fine with wired. Too much wireless.
It is very hard to do a combo macro on MK1 with this pad
tnx)
What's the name of the game tho?
No reply just yet, but here it's probably Dead or Alive 6

This cantroller is game changer. But can we use it on ps4 or Ps5
That would be dope! But I haven’t seen a PS version for it…
Adogen for days lol
This dpad is horrible, just search on reddit the comments about that, too rigid :S
It is more on a rigid side but it isn't terrible. Everything else though is really good.
