Help me with fighting games, fight sticks etc.
| Tekken 7 is pretty good right now if you want to start with a 3D fighter, and just get a solid $200 stick like a qanba obsidian or hori, and forget it
| Honestly, fighting sticks is not a big deal, just use whichever controller you're comfortable with.
| As for games, start with the original Street Fighter II and go up from there. If you want a tutorial pick up Skullgirls, it has a extensive tutorial which teaches all the basics and advanced techniques.
| Yeah, if you're just starting out, you can use anything. People diss keyboard control a lot, but I know people who can kick ass with it, so don't feel bad if that's what you got.

Yeah, no joke. I play on a controller and my friend kicks my ass EVERY TIME using a keyboard.
| First thing you should know is if you're learning stick it won't instantly make you better. In the long run it will be useful for certain things but it all comes down to preference when it's controller and sticks in fighting games. To be honest some fighting games are easier than other but I truth since you're new you'll be able to absorb more since you don't know any of it. Remember in the training lab your muscle memory will carry you if you repeat stuff you're learning.

| The fightsticks subreddit is very helpful. Essentially it boils down to preference, but if you invest into a stick make sure to get something good. I would generally say that there are 4 fighting game categories: anime fighters, traditional fighters, 3d fighters, platform fighters. The biggest anime fighters are Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Blazblue. Guilty Gear Rev2 is a hard game, but has a great tutorial. Dragon Ball FighterZ is very beginner friendly.
| Traditional fighters are fighters like Street Fighter with ground based combat with a lot of neutral and footsies, in contrast with the fast paced airdashing going on in anime fighters. Starting with SFV is fine and there are many resources for that. 3d fighters were pretty dead for a while until Tekken7 dropped, so tekken7 is basically the only way to go. Platform fighters are games like smash.

| Ok first, I don't know jack shit about any of it. All I want is to dive in on fighting games, please help me start. For the games, which ones would you recommend for a beginner? And for the fight sticks... I honestly thought just buying any stick is good enough, but apparently it isn't. I heard people talking about sanwa buttons, f3000 etc. What are some good sticks you could recommend? Cheap ones? For pro sticks?? Help me
