In this article, we'll be listing some of the best PS4 arcade sticks available. If you're willing to take your game to the next level, chances are one of these arcade sticks will be able to help whether you play Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat or any other fighting game.
HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai
For just under $144, this PS4 arcade stick is conservative on the physical design, but it goes all out on features and performance. The stick on this pad is super slick, making it easy to execute moves. If you're a novice or a veteran in the esports world, the stick on the Arcade Pro 4 Kai will work wonders for you.
Our only complaint is that if you've got extra large hands, you may find that the layout leaves you limited on space.
Mad Catz Street Fighter V FightStick TE2+
Mad Catz has been in the game for decades now, so it's no surprise that their FightStick TE2+ is a great piece of kit. This arcade stick comes in at $229 -

The Mortal Kombat XL Grand Final saw SonicFox battle it out against Tekken Master.
A lot of us were rooting for Tekken Master to win the grand final after witnessing him fight his way so valiantly to the final game, but SonicFox clearly seemed like the favorite to take the win.
In the first match, SonicFox picked out Hollywood Cassie Cage to fight it out against Tekken Master's Swarm Queen D'vorah. In the first match, Tekken Master managed to fight himself out of a tricky situation to take round 1, but straight into round 2 the pressure was put back on by SonicFox.
He definitely knows how to play Cassie Cage well - Tekken Master had very little room to move and we were constantly seeing him being put into the corner in the early stages of the grand final. SonicFox took round 2 quick and clean. On the final round of match 1, Tekken Master tried to turn the tables by putting the pressure on but SonicFox got the better of him after an impressive jump in that helped him

If you try to pair fighting games, Tekken and Street Fighter go quite well together, and this has lead to crossovers in the past. For Mortal Kombat, the best pairing would definitely have to be Killer Instinct. Both games offer a slightly more brutal approach to fighting, and according to Ed Boon, the idea of a Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat crossover would be a good idea.
On Twitter, Ed Boon mentioned 'I loves me some KI but a crossover would have to be Xbox exclusive.'
Funnily enough, Phil Spencer later tweeted in reply to state that he 'loves' the idea too. Well, right there we have the two men that could make a real crossover happen, and they both agree on the idea.
Whether or not this was a little marketing ploy by both Netherrealm and Xbox is hard to say, but we wouldn't be surprised if a Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat crossover title was now in the works. Because Killer Instinct is Xbox exclusive, the crossover would also have to be Xbox exclusive, which

A brand new season pass has been announced for Mortal Kombat X and it will be available throughout 2016. The new season pass has been dubbed the Kombat Pack 2, and as the name suggests, it will add new characters to the current character roster, just like the previous Kombat Pack DLC.
Just like the previous Kombat Pack DLC, there will be two characters from previous Mortal Kombat games and two characters from outside of the Mortal Kombat universe. The first announced character will be the Xenomorph from Aliens. We've already got the Predator so I can't wait to see these two battling it out in Mortal Kombat X next year. The second guest character in the Kombat Pack 2 DLC will be Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and yes, he does have a chainsaw.
The first of the returning Mortal Kombat characters will be Bo Rai Cho who uses a fairly plain and simple drunken fist master fighting style. The final character is a little more interesting. The new character isn't returning,

For the most part Mortal Kombat X has been released without too many problems but it seems nowadays you can't have a game release without some kind of bugs or issues. Fortunately, NetherRealm Studios has been working round the clock to ensure everything is as smooth as possible.
Recently, the 1.02 patch was applied to Mortal Kombat for the PC, Xbox One and PS4 and it brings a number of changes and bug fixes to the game.
Perhaps the biggest noticeable changes to Mortal Kombat X in 1.02 are some tweaks to general gameplay and certain character’s move sets. Below the major game changes have been listed.
General - Throws (regular or command grabs) will no longer sometimes connect on a grounded reacting opponent off a counter hit
Shinnok (Impostor) - He can now control the location of a stolen Goro Stomp.
Subzero (Grandmaster) - Combos on a grounded opponent frozen by the Ice Klone will now scale properly.
Takeda (Ronin) - Added a new move "Quick Kall"

There has been a bit of commotion on the internet this week because NetherRealm announced a feature of Mortal Kombat X that has two sides of the fighting game's community divided. On one half, those that purchased the premium edition or Kombat pack are frustrated, and on the other half, those that only bought the standard edition of the game are equally as pleased.
The reason for this is because NetherRealm have announced that there will be ways to play the DLC characters for free, without purchasing any DLC at all. As you can imagine, those that have already paid for the DLC are quite mad at NetherRealm for making this decision, but it's important to understand the full picture first.
Whilst characters like Jason Voorhees and The Predator can be played by playing in the special timed challenge towers, you will only be able to play one of the DLC characters when a premiere tower is live in-game. You also cannot play the DLC characters in versus mode or story mode - they will

Ever been frustrated by a player quitting on you in an online match on Tekken, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter? I know I have, and it seems quite common for players to disconnect just before you pull in a victory.
Fortunately, NetherRealm have implemented a new finishing move to Mortal Kombat X that should put disconnectors and rage quitters to shame. In Mortal Kombat X, any plays that purposely disconnect from a game will have their heads implode (in-game of course.) and the opposing player's character will stand there, with a slight smirk on his face.
The whole procedure has been called a Quitality, and it will happen every time a player quits in the middle of a fight. The win will go straight to the player who remained in the game, whilst the disconnected player will be given a loss.
Whilst it's not clear, I'm expecting that the Quitality will happen even if a player's internet goes down, or they get disconnected for a reason out of their control. There's no details

If you didn't know already, NetherRealm have planned a special season pass, called the Kombat pack, which will come with a range of additional features. The Kombat pack will cost $30, and the most interesting part about it are the four characters that will be added to the game's character roster.
This week, NetherRealm revealed that one of the first characters for the Kombat pack will be none other than Jason Voorhees, the star of the Friday the 13th movie series. Well, he's really the antagonist, but let's be honest, Voorhees is the real reason everybody watches those movies.
In Mortal Kombat X, Jason Voorhees will be wearing his classic hockey mask, and he'll also be wielding the machete he's renowned for using.
Whilst the other characters of the Kombat Pack have not yet been revealed, NetherRealm has revealed that the pack will include "Klassic Kombatants" as well as special guests. Considering there will only be four new characters in the Kombat pack, and plurals
