PLAYSTATION pt2

You want to be a good fighter, but also a good communicator...so be both, with the best fight sticks and headsets for your PS5

VICTRIX PRO FS

Yes, Street Fighter 6 has arrived (see p76) - and while there are plenty of controllers that can cater nicely to scrapping fans, there's nothing quite like a proper fight stick for the feeling of being in a sweaty arcade. The Victrix Pro FS has been made with champions in mind: the company literally gave these away to the winners of last year's Evo, the Super Bowl of fighting game events.

Obviously it's got what you expect from a fight stick, the joystick itself allowing you to use your whole arm for precise directional inputs instead of just your thumb, with eight large buttons to bash out your attacks. More importantly, these are Sanwa buttons, the same type used in Japanese arcade cabinets, so you know they're not just high quality but built to endure many frantic bashings.
