Someone said they didn't like it for it Tekken 7, because you can reset position in training mode, which is true, but you can map all ten buttons to actually be usable where it's too hard to hit L3 in a match on the regular dualshock controller. On the regular controller, that button combination is lost to you, on this controller, you can use it easily. Plus, the D-pad is significantly better than the dual shock's. It's much faster and more responsive. You can hit/tap directionals with much more speed.
The three swappable, magnetic faceplates are dope. You can easily change the color of the controller and fit in seamlessly. I like the white one at the moment.
Lastly, for the price, you can't miss. I'm sure there are more expensive fightpads out there that are not this nice, and it's not too expensive to replace if you wear it out with heavy use. The cord for the controller is a beautiful cloth-covered USB cord, and it locks into the controller so it cannot slip out during play. They had serious players in mind when they designed this piece of equipment.
The face buttons are good feeling buttons and of course, have a six button layout Street Fighter Style. If you’re playing a 4 button fighter like Tekken, these do not get in the way. Shoulder buttons are in the same place as the original Saturn pad, and are extremely light and easy to press. Some might argue too sensitive. They are a bit touchy, and require way less pressure than the Saturn one, so it is in fact easy to accidentally press them. Not sure why they made the shoulders that sensitive.
The pad is wired only and comes with a nice long braided Micro USB cable (I was hoping for USB C) that fits into a channel to help prevent cord bending. Weight of the pad is light, but it doesn’t feel cheap…it feels perfect for me. I had several people at numerous FGC local events I put on try the pad out and most of the people who tried it liked it. The ones familiar with the Saturn pad or the Hori Fighting Commander especially liked it. It’s a good fight pad, with the only adjustment I would like to see is slightly more pressure to activate shoulder buttons. While this didn't interfere with my own play, I could see it affecting other people, so I will knock off a star for that.
*I've thrown this controller a couple of times (okay several times...okay maybe more than 10 times) after getting 10/0 by some really great players, and although the faceplate popped off I was still able to snap it back on perfectly. Never cracked or snapped.
*It's durable, super sturdy and feels like a Sony brand controller. I have bought several Tekken vs Street Fighter fight pads (because they are very similar to the 6 button Saturn pads) and the buttons stick after only a couple of months of use. The buttons on the PowerA Fusion controller are still perfect.
*Unlike the other reviews my D-PAD never snapped off or broke and I feel like I've put a lot of pressure on it during scrambles in my matches.
*(More review on buttons) Face buttons are great and have not stuck after years of use. Shoulder buttons are still operational and just as responsive. The very top shoulder buttons need more pressure to input though (just like a DS4 and DS5, typically) and I wish these buttons were more responsive with a simple press.
Complaints:
*The face buttons aren't close enough together. They're too far apart.
I know this is crazy for some people, but I play claw style (pressing the face buttons with my thumbs instead of my fingers). My execution is good so I hardly ever slip on the wrong buttons, but trying to do ex moves while pressing 2 buttons simultaneously with your right thumb kinda sucks. The Tekken X Street Fighter pad was better for this, because the buttons were closer together and easier to press at the same time. I wish they came out with another model of this controller with the buttons just a bit closer. I had to map my ex inputs on the shoulder buttons, which brings me to my next problem.
*I really wish there was a way to make all the 4 shoulder buttons accessible. As for now, you can only switch between 2 out of the 4, which limits your input options. That's an accessibility issue with the game and console though, and I hope they fix this soon.
All in all it's still a GREAT controller. Still feels great. Executing moves is great. If my complaints were address, for me, it would be PERFECT. If you're a claw player I'd recommend this controller highly.

The problem is the durability. I’ve had the controller for roughly five months and have played lots of street fighter v. D-pad is now broken and detached from the controller lol.
Can’t recommend because of this.

Changed my review to 1 star. The D Pad snapped off after barely 3 months of use. Unacceptable for the price point. The only caveat is I sink a lot of my spare time into fighting games. For someone more casual, this could last 3 months to even a year. Though someone more casual would be better off just using the controller their console came with in that case.
The diagonal inputs on this particular controller never got as accurate as I'd hoped. But still pretty accurate. To use some fighting game lingo, it gave me more mistakes and and would give me a 6 input instead of a 3, or a 4 input instead of a 1. Regularly turned my slide inputs, like 236k kicks into 6k kicks, etc. I eventually learned to compensate for this on the controller, but not perfectly every time as it required some precision I was still training my hand to do.
7 and 9 inputs weren't too bad though. It was mostly the 3 Diagonal that was the worst input accuracy wise on this particular controller.
I'll probably buy another Hori down the line, as it gave me almost a year's worth of gameplay. I'm gonna try a few more brands.
I really prefer the fusion for comfort and feel, so I'm disappointed it couldn't pass the durability test. If Fusion fixes the wheel problem for the eventual PS5 version of this controller they'll have a perfect controller.
OLD REVIEW:
The braided cable for my controller broke within the first hour of using the controller, and I had to switch cords to a spare one I had in my room. This cost me a match online. I am relieved it was not the controller, but that's disappointing because the cord it comes with is nice and long. Loses 2 stars for that though. Otherwise I'd rate it 5/5.
Besides that, the inputs are smooth and accurate. The shoulder buttons are a huge improvement over the Hori Fighting Commander. I use this for Soul Calibur, and it's great.
Love the D Pad for 8 Way moves, but it's a bit inaccurate/mushy sometimes compared to the Hori. It is also way more comfortable, and still quite accurate. I'm adjusting to the "personality" differences between the Hor and the Fusion D Padl, as I think part of it is just me getting used to the controller. My D Pad accuracy will probably be fine once I've had more than three days to break in this controller.
I have no idea if this controller will pass the durability test, but it feels good so far. It took me 9 months to fully wear out the Hori, so I hope the Fusion lasts longer.
