@@nosearches8340 yes I think its the best stick to buy for anyone getting into the hobby for most of my fighting games i reconfigure my controls anyway but imo i feel like ABXY would be more helpful in the front two rows but I've gotten too used to it now
@@Sharky_0456 for street fighter 6 We use the two left triggers a lot on the controler especially for reactions So for me this stick would be the perfect layout without configuring the buttons around
the gameplay section hurts to watch now but i was only starting to learn classic controls along with a fight stick so i cant beat myself up too much, its good to watch to see how far ive come
@@LouisMoyes the controller is powered by USB-A and compatible with xbox, PlayStation 4 (not 5),pc and switch so you can just plug it into the usb port on your console
Pretty sure those arent Sanwa buttons, what that refers to is not the plastic over the buttons but the "switches" themselves. Even with the highly praised MAYFLASH F300/F500 series fightsticks, only the more expensive Elite versions have Sanwa switches. Though maybe I'm wrong. That said it looks like the Krom Kumite is a nice budget option for someone getting into the hobby. I kind of want to switch out my old budget stick (the HORI mini) because, well it's a tad too small for my hands. The one thing that bothers me a bit is that the L1 and L2 buttons are on the left on the Krom, which might be bad for my choice of game, Guilty Gear Strive. Did you find it irritating in SF6?
ive played this stick on strive and its not at all irritating. it takes like 5 seconds to rebind your actions to the different buttons and then its exactly the same ergonomically. its a minor inconvenience at first in the menus but you get used to it very quickly. id deffo say to upgrade to the kumite over the mini i think the mini is just too small for a fightstick and i like the size of the kumite! its nice and large! :) its also pretty easy to work on if you run into an issue cause you just take off the warranty stickers and the screws at the back and the back panel just pops right off if you want to mod it overall its a great stick and even as a competitive player i see no real reason to get a more premium stick though i haven't used one yet so maybe they do have better comfort the only downside to this controller is its loud but just close your door and its no big deal
@@Sharky_0456 Good to know, though some games (specifically older ones) won't allow binding certain actions to the L1/L2 buttons for some reason but there's probably ways to work around that. I'll upgrade to the kumite then, hopefully that helps with the ergonomics a bit more. I only really play on stick because I have a bit of wrist pain (something to do with my elbow joints or whatever). It being bigger should at least stop it from moving around like the Hori mini lol. Well it is marketed as a stick for kids tbh, that's on me.
@@Wolvahulk ive used it on emulators and a ton of older games and had no issues but ig maybe they could happen i use the kumite for 6 button fighting games as using a controller just feels weird and the games were designed to be played on sticks as they are literally just a portable version of the arcade machine controls and i just find having a larger stick makes motion inputs easier than on pad and it just feels nicer but at the end of the day its up to preference and pad still has some benefits anyway get the kumite and lmk what you think! hopefully its a lot more confortable on your wrist than the mini. also the dog on your pfp is quite cute :)
@@Sharky_0456 So I got the Kumite today and it definitely is an upgrade in almost every way. Unfortunately the stick itself is a slight downgrade as on the Hori mini the spring was ideal, even if I really abused the stick, smashing it on the square gate it would return to neutral perfectly every time. On the Kumite however, it can sometimes rebound and hit the opposite input before going back to neutral. It's not that big of an issue, really I just need to remember to never fully let go of the stick. The spring can be loosened manually (though risky, as too much and it won't return to neutral anymore) or switched out with a different one. I'll probably just get used to it anyway tbh. Other than that it's a lot bigger and more comfortable on adult hands lol. A solid 8/10 for me (a 10 essentially being a premium stick for pro players).
@@Wolvahulk im a bit confused on what you mean. what does smashing the stick on the square gate mean? do you mean like pressing the top of the stick down with your fist or something like L3 on a playstation controller? when you say rebound and hits the opposite before returning to neutral do you mean it hits 4 when performing 236 for me if i hit a 236 it always goes back to 5 so if your stick is hitting 4 i think you should consider a refund i dont know if your stick is a defect or if its user error cause you should not be abusing your stick but it could also be a factory defect. for me personally i abuse the buttons quite a bit but im pretty delicate with my stick unless im desperately trying to 720
If it’s glued in how would you move the stick? 😅
yeah I immediately realised that after making the video 🤦♂
thanks for checking my content out and commenting btw
@@Sharky_0456 all good I like how the l2 and l1 buttons are at the left side position making it really good for street fighter 6

Do you know if this controller has a built in UK plug, or is the product powered all by USB? Thanks.

I think you gotta need to get used to it .bought the sf6 aracade stick today and am sure its not easy to play online until i also get used to it
the clip is deffo not accurate to my current skills in game and ive deffo improved a lot now that im actually using quickdash properly

its also pretty easy to work on if you run into an issue cause you just take off the warranty stickers and the screws at the back and the back panel just pops right off if you want to mod it
overall its a great stick and even as a competitive player i see no real reason to get a more premium stick though i haven't used one yet so maybe they do have better comfort

when you say rebound and hits the opposite before returning to neutral do you mean it hits 4 when performing 236
for me if i hit a 236 it always goes back to 5 so if your stick is hitting 4 i think you should consider a refund
i dont know if your stick is a defect or if its user error cause you should not be abusing your stick but it could also be a factory defect.

Nice review Sharky
