Persona on PC. Someone at Atlus is calling the yakuza as we speak.

It's very likely this was the BlazBlue title that was announced.

And Story of Season's
Not surprised that Switch is basically the new Vita for anime fighters.
Vita was actually the first handheld that was able to do console-parity ports (like Blazblue) but, unlike Vita, Switch has no real D-Pad so that makes it kind of a terrible platform for handheld fighting games.
On the other hand, if that 8bitdo arcade stick is legit (by which I mean easily moddable) and lagless, Switch could be the *best* platform for portable fighters.
Being able to play with 2 8bitdos side by side or 2 Switches on kickstands back to back (like the old Candy Cab setups) would be amazing!
Edit: Oh, I guess Shoryuken said the stick is total trash. It's easy to mod but for an $80 base price things are going add up quick.

Day one on PC!
Well the D-Pad is bad but I guess it might be better than the buttons on the JoyCon.
It's ok. Not good, definitely not bad. Just ok.
Not good is automatically bad when it comes to fighting game inputs, IMO. There is no "ok" when you have to be so precise. Thumb exhaustion is also a thing
Crap. Anyone make those fighting pads for the Switch? Don't want to invest in a stick tbh, don't have the space.

It's pretty good but I actually prefer playing Ultra Street Fighter 2 with the split dpad on the joycon.
There's a Hori fight stick I think but you can use the Pokken controllers if there's not too many inputs...

Would have preferred Terumi over Hazama, personally.
No real surprises with the platforms, but good to get confirmation.

It's not a split d-pad, it's 4 seperate buttons.
This is a split D-Pad:
The Hori stick is $150, huge and wired.
The Pokken controller is a great, cheap choice if you are playing at home. Unfortunately it is also wired and all wired controllers need the USB port which is on the bottom of the Switch. That means you can't use the kickstand.

I won't know for sure what my team will be until we see the full roster, but I'd like it to be Yang/Amane.
There's the Pokken pad. Is it compatible!?
Yeah, it's compatible with everything IIRC.

Ok. I still like it for USF2.
Yup, one of my favorites this year. Would like to see P5 Arena eventually too.
