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 -

John Takeuchi is a Street Fighter player that came into the spotlight from out of nowhere. Now, Takeuchi is reaching his next from support from the /r/kappa subreddit again.

r/kappa is a subreddit on the website reddit which is filled with a community of dedicated Street Fighter fans. The community has often come together to fund trips for different players in the past and recently they have taken it upon themselves to 'sponsor' John Takeuchi.

The last event that the community at /r/kappa funded for John Takeuchi was the 2016 First attack tournament. Takeuchi took the funding honorably, absolutely smashed the competition and came out on top with a victorious win against GO1 in two best of three series in the grand finals.

Now that John Takeuchi has landed back on home turf, the /Kappa crowd are looking to fund John Takeuchi again. This time, Takeuchi needs $950 to get to The Fall Classic 2016 event in Raleigh, North Carolina. With Takeuchi being on the other side of

A brand new trailer has been released for Street Fighter V and it showcases all of the 16 launch characters that will be available once the game is available. Out of the 16 characters available at launch, 12 of them are returning faces whilst 4 of them are brand new to the franchise.

F.A.N.G is the first of the four new characters in Street Fighter V and is an assassin who uses poison to attack his opponents. The second new character is Rashid. This character is obsessed with technology and has the ability to create small tornadoes.

The third new character introduced to Street Fighter V is Necalli. Necalli is a name of Aztec origin so this character could potentially have a Mexican or South American origin. The fourth and final new Street Fighter V character that will be available at launch is Laura - this character uses electrified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Below, the full list of Street Fighter launch characters has been provided, including the new fighters. Keep in mind

Even though Capcom hasn't announced the first DLC characters in 2016 yet, they have already confirmed that there will be more DLC characters released after the first wave.

In a recent interview, Capcom's brand director Matt Dahlgren mentioned that Street Fighter V will have a second wave of new characters. Capcom seems to have a strong long-term plan for SFV that could involve a lot of DLC content. This DLC plan could include a new Street Fighter V character every two months after launch if everything goes smoothly.

Dahlgren stated that "We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves." Dahlgren continued by stating that they think they're" going to watch how things progress."

"We do have very ambitious plans for Street Fighter 5 and a very long term strategy. We'd like to continue as long as we can, but we'll have to see how the product does," Dahlgren continued.

On top of the paid extra content, Capcom will also be giving Street Fighter V a lot of free support.

Even though the release date for Street Fighter 5 has now been set, the character roster is still mostly a mystery. Capcom has been very quiet about what characters will be in Street Fighter 5 so we have very little information to go on.

What we do know for definite is that Street Fighter 5 will get a base character roster when the game launches and then there will be six more characters released after the launch of the game, which will be available as paid DLC.

We don't know for definite who the six DLC characters may be, but a new alleged leak shows off exactly who could be possible. Whilst this leak looks pretty believable, it should still be taken with a grain of salt.

The first character will be Alex - this is a character that has been in the Street Fighter franchise since Street Fighter 3. Alex was the main character in SF3 but he was not seen in SF4 at all. Guile will possibly be the second DLC character for Street Fighter 5.

Ibuki the ninja may be a third

After months of teasing and game trailers, the release date for Street Fighter 5 has finally been set. Street Fighter 5 has been anticipated by fans for a very long time now so it's great to see the date finally being revealed.

So when will Street Fighter 5 be released? The game will come on February 16, 2016 for North America and Europe. Other regions have not had their release dates revealed, but if you're in a region that usually gets releases near the time of North America and Europe, then you can expect to see Street Fighter 5 around February 16 next year.

On top of the February 16 release date unveiling, some DLC information was released. It was mentioned that 6 DLC characters would be released in the following 12 months after the launch of Street Fighter 5. It was also revealed that Dhalsim will be in Street Fighter 5 - it's expected that he'll be a playable character at launch.

As for the rest of the fighters available at launch, we're not quite sure about this.
