Bought this stick as series x version . Amazing stick and i dont mind the weight. Easy swappable parts and overall functional design and i guess the weight is a part of it. Nice to carry due to the flat design and the handles. Hori has never dissapointed me. ☮️
Bought this tonight as my first personal fight stick. It should arrive by the 5th Mar. I'm looking forward to it because as someone who grew up using sticks. It is pretty difficult playing Tekken and GG on pad. Finally I'm out of the dark ages of misinputs and discomfort. Edit: I changed the actuator to a 2mm and the spring to a 2lb and now the stick obits aren't reading
Oh update, yeah I just pull it apart and put it back together and it works again. The 2mm actuator and 2lb spring was very necessary because of the large dead zone and long time to return to neutral. But it works great. I can't believe I've never gotten one before. My execution is much more precise
I agree I biguht a mayflash and gave up because the button placements are ass, these seem alot better and hopefully my specials and supers become constant so I can keep stomping without combos
Just pre ordered the sf6 hori edition. It’s beautiful. Also wats cool is it comes with a link or code/drive that allows u to print up to 20 different of ur favorite fighters so u can switch the cover. That’s crazy! I never heard a company do that that was sponsored by another publisher. I’m definitely putting Juri’s feet on my cover oh yes yummers!
@vincenzovieri3743 mean, I'm in New Zealand, mighty ape has it for $400 (NZD) plus postage. No store in New Zealand has it, as far as I can find so far.
Also, let’s see a review of the DualSense Edge! I just got mine. Haven’t opened it yet, but with the haptics, speaker and mic, so I don’t have to wear headphones on a fireteam, makes it my favorite controller of all time. 💯
Glad you showed the guts, I used to use a mayflash and it wasn't enjoyable, I totally forget about square and octangel gates, I hope it comes with one. I'm getting tried of not doing supers of inputs because of the steamdeck dpa. I know a fightstick don't magically make you better but atlest my inputs will be constent so i can learn combos. I got good fundamentals and win most matches without even being able to combo all I need are my specials and supers
Just ordered this a few days ago. Needed a stick to use on playstation since im primarily xbox. Hoping we get more universal sticks in the future. Dont think we have enough universals out here.
Licensed controllers work because the encoder inside is authentic. If someone buys a used official co troller and someone modded it and removed that specific encoder it won’t work
The crowne buttons sounded so nice to my ears! Really great video! I had a HRAP4 and it broke without me using it much at all. It's made me think Hori definitely has some way of making it only last for a certain amount of time before it breaks because while it wasn't new, it was still straight out of the box pretty much. So I personally might avoid Hori products.
i use my stick all the time and got it in july last year and its still like new. u bought a used stick so u got what u paid for. always buy a new stick
I've been using a HRAP v3 SA for about 10 years and it still works prefectly well (I use it everyday for about 2/3 hours, mainly on KOF and SF6). That being said, my very first stick was a Hory Fighting Stick 2 for Playstation 2, and it was an horrible Arcade Stick. That's why I was hoping for an HRAP for PS5, but it still yet to come.
The slot for the USB dongle has been there since the release of this stick for Xbox which was a couple of years ago at this point. They haven't done anything with it and probably won't. It's likely just a left over feature from the CAD drawing during prototyping.
If anyone else is from Canada and looking for this fight stick Canada Computers has them for online sale right now. Just placed my order 5 minute ago and have SF6 downloading at the moment!
I got this Hori stick ,the SF6 edition. Can I use this stick on other consoles with a McBoot or Mayfair converter? Also, I want to get a Mayfair stick with Sanwa buttons. Can I use that on my PS5 with a converter? Thx for your help.
I have a Hori PS4 stick and I can confirm it does NOT work with PS5 games. It works fine with PS4 games on PS5 but not native PS5 games unless the game has legacy controller support - which most big-budget fighting games should have, don't expect it to work with newly released shmups or anything though.
The PS5 games themselves have to support the controllers. The point is that your Hori DOES indeed work on your PS5. New PS5 shmups will more than likely have legacy controller support as well.
@@Wrekkshoppe Well, it would probably depend on the company making/porting the game. I know some PS5 games that ideally should have legacy controller support do not, for example Final Vendetta.
Can we still use the graphic inserts for the sf6 version, in this version? I like the black boarders over the purple ones of the hori sf6 version stick
my biggest gripe about this stick is that it's got too much plastic and it doesn't have a good enough weight, it's way too light. Also it has this hallow plasticky sound when playing, i wish it had more sound dampening material and also more metal body parts for that rigidity and weight
@Briar Rabbit, do you have any tutorials on how to swap out the Hayabusa Joystick setup (restrictor plate, joystick), to a Sanwa setup? Please respond, thanks!
Does the fighting stick alpha have any way of changing the stick from Dpad - Left Stick - Right Stick ? Can't find a definitive yes / no anywhere online
What would you recommend? Hori Fighting Stick Alpha or Qanba ObsidianPearl? Both are $199. I would love to change art. I was waiting for a new fight stick, but I don't know if they gonna make any.
Has that Hori Alpha Sticky got 6 pin connector connected to lever? Somebody maybe know that is it work like normal 5 pin conector? Can somebody explain me whats going on with that connector.
I have a PS4 Hori RAP Pro N Hayabusa and it does not work with ps5 games. Plays ps4 games but is rejected by every ps5 gane ive played. Could be wrong but I thought this was a playstation endorsed product
I have a PS5 Them’s Fightin Herds game, Qanba Drone Joystick with the Official Licensed Product on the box, plugged that fight stick in the PS5 console, Herds game into the console, play the disc and for some strange reason, the Herds game did not read my Drone at all. PS4 games still reads my Drone, but not my PS5 Fightin Herds So I have to upgraded by purchasing the Fighting Stick Alpha for that and my PS5 Them’s Fightin Herds reads my Alpha.
yeah the stick works on ps5 but the game has to support the controller so yeah it was best to buy the ps5 stick cause it'll work on all games regardless
As nice as the hori fightstick alphas fold over access is The cable management is so bad, i prefer the victrix pro FS, the wiring is so much easier to manage
don't think it is fair to compare it to victrix fight stick. victrix fight stick is way overpriced after shipping when you are usa and it is still made in china
The stock buttons are really bad. Stick is ok but a little heavy for my taste. I replaced the buttons with Samducksa and cream switches (expensive but amazing) Replaced the stick with sanwa (cheap but great for the price)
The stock buttons are amazing. They are sanwa buttons but slightly more sensitive so I can do faster inputs. The stick is sanwa but a little more sensitive, once again for faster inputs. But unlike past Hori sticks, this one is more precise.

Yesssss!! Any content from my favorite DCP-Jedi makes it a good day.
Might have to pick this thing up! Thanks Briar!
the flip mod is a must opening the stick is convenience
Hori come square joystick. Is that good? I suppose a hexagon one is better?
Which arcade sticks are out yet for the PS5 which works with PS5 Games? Im looking for a Budget one..
Wanna drone my friend

if u like hori sticks get this new one then. its basically the same thing
@@RealSkyeBlue Thanks, I can't justify buying one new, but I've been keeping an eye out for a deal :)
@@Undermog yeah if u play street fighter a lot then getting this stick when it goes on sale is gonna be so worth it
How are the Hayabusa parts in this stick? Are they adequate enough to play without getting annoyed and wanting to change out the parts?
Can we still use the graphic inserts for the sf6 version, in this version? I like the black boarders over the purple ones of the hori sf6 version stick

I'm curious how far the legacy support goes. Will a PS3 MadCatz SE/TE work for SF6 on the PS5? I doubt it, but I'd like to see if anyone can try.
Brooks Wingman FGC makes any stick work on PS5. I'm using Xbox 360 Madcatz sticks along with this one
@@dukk8866maxamillion dood viewer too? Lol love that guy!
@@dukk8866 Yup, I just ordered it for my SF4 Madcatz TE Xb360 stick. Im still thinking about picking up a new stick like the Qanba Obsidian 2.

Does the fighting stick alpha have any way of changing the stick from Dpad - Left Stick - Right Stick ? Can't find a definitive yes / no anywhere online
Not that I know of. It’s possible it’s configurable in the companion app, but I haven’t seen it. The Qanba sticks do have that feature.
@@BriarRabbit No worries thank you, not a deal breaker just good to know, I'll keep a controller on hand for customising costumes 😂
So if i buy a ps4 fighting stick will it work on tekken 8 or street fighter 6 on ps5
Why arcadesticks have always R1/R2 and L1/L2 switched sides? Rights on left and Lefts on right side ??
thew new HORI arcade stick is coming out soon is it like this or gonna be a bit different?
razer kitsune or hori alpha, I haven't tried either of them.
What would you recommend?
Hori Fighting Stick Alpha or Qanba ObsidianPearl? Both are $199.
I would love to change art.
I was waiting for a new fight stick, but I don't know if they gonna make any.
there's an obsidian 2 coming out soon
@@blendoben Thanks! I'm gonna wait for Obsidian 2!
@@Davilas941 no problem, thought I'd help you out. They did delay the release date, but they confirmed that it'll come out April or May
@@blendoben Really? Awesome! Can’t wait to get it~ 😁 Thank you so much!
Qanba Obsidian is the better choice.
Nice overview on a solid little stick.
BRIAR ! Qanba titan vs Hori alpha? In Australia the titan is $350 and the alpha is $379 Thanks :)
How do you pull wires from buttons to replace artwork please help
Hey cool video man. Does anyone know if qanba screw-in buttons will fit on this layout?? it looks kinda tight
Has that Hori Alpha Sticky got 6 pin connector connected to lever? Somebody maybe know that is it work like normal 5 pin conector? Can somebody explain me whats going on with that connector.
That usb indentation is for your cable usb so it doesn’t get in your way ya dingus
Hi does this have turbo function?
I have a hori FS3 it’s has 2 turbo settings 1 press = 20 presses
& 1 press = 10
I saw from other youtube vid, this hori alpha does not have turbo.
Disappointed they didn’t change the design so the cable was stored away from the button cables
Can you use the stick to play ea sports ps5 games
I bought the Xbox version. About to plunge into the Monoprice Dark Matter Stick to see if it works for both,
So is this the same as the SF6 edition, without the Street fighter photo & purple color?
Yeah completely the same.
That’s correct.
I own a Hori RAP 4 and it works fine on my PS5 including native games like Guilty Gear Strive. My PS4 Madkatz stick is the same.
Is the modding vid of this up?
Is PC mode Xinput or Dinput?
Will my ps4 mad catz stick work??
What is your favourite fight stick?
I have a PS4 Hori RAP Pro N Hayabusa and it does not work with ps5 games. Plays ps4 games but is rejected by every ps5 gane ive played. Could be wrong but I thought this was a playstation endorsed product
This has the HRAP2 layout I'm in love
You just amazing ❤️

Is this better then the cross up?
Fuck no but the cross up isn’t compatible with the PS5 unless you buy a brook Ultimate adapter that’s back logged on orders 😭
I tested this at evo. Thought it felt hella cheap.
Even my TE2+ works on PS5 games, and I used it for SF6 beta and Guilty Gear just so people know
What adaptor do you use for the PS5?. I too have an xbox TE2 and was playing the SF6 Demo on pad 😢
@@Banjoba no adapter, it's natively a PS4/PS3 stick, but most if not all officially licensed PS4 sticks work on PS5.
As nice as the hori fightstick alphas fold over access is
The cable management is so bad, i prefer the victrix pro FS, the wiring is so much easier to manage
naaaaa…..Nacon Daija is a more superior joystick over this easily
Nacon daija might not be available to some ppl also they all the same
I just grabbed the Nacon.
Got it as a birthday gift to myself. Will be here tomorrow.
It's my first high quality lever arcade stick
They need to launch a wireless version. SF6 is coming. I am in the market for a fighting stick.
you don't want lag with an arcade stick so wireless defeats the purpose for an arcade stick, might as well just use your controller
Yeah
Unless you want play only offline, don't use a wireless controller

@@Harutjun I did the same thing 😅

Your Etokki is definitely better than this Hori.
Dude are you 3-d printing in the background or something?
Between this and your excellent shmups video, guess who just gained a sub?
don't think it is fair to compare it to victrix fight stick. victrix fight stick is way overpriced after shipping when you are usa and it is still made in china

Jump to the 2:00 minute part to actually start the review.
Sony is full of 💩 my Mayflash F300 works on my PS5 but not PS5 games only PS4 games
you dont need a arcade stick for streetfighter 6. you can play with a ps5 controller or xbox .
Some people prefer arcade sticks for some fighting games. Some don't, and that's ok too.
The hell is that beeping?
