Although the Xbox One won’t be getting Street Fighter V, the console is already home to some stellar fighting games such as BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombat X. Not to mention that Tekken 7 will be released for the system in the future as well.
If you want to play these fighting games like you would in the arcades, you should invest in a stick as well. Below, you can find the best Xbox One fighting sticks to buy on Black Friday or anytime during the 2015 holiday shopping season.
Hori Real Arcade Pro Hayabusa
One arcade stick that is worth checking out is the officially licensed Hori Real Arcade Pro Hayabusa. The product comes with a redesigned chassis when compared to the previous Hori sticks. Not to mention that v-cut cam structure of the new Hayabusa stick has reduced input load by 15 percent while the Kuro buttons now have less space between the buttons and housing, resulting in better response time.

Hori Real Arcade Pro.V Kai Fighting Stick
The above-mentioned Hori Real Arcade Pro Hayabusa is not compatible with the Xbox 360. So, if you would like to use a stick for both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 (as well as PC), we recommend getting the Hori Real Arcade Pro.V Kai Fighting Stick. Aside from being more compatible with other devices, this product has the same features as the other Hori stick.

Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2
The most popular Xbox One stick is the Mad Catz Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2, which comes equipped with a Sanwa Denshi JLF joystick,OBSF-30 push buttons in addition to a foam-padded, non-slippery metal base. The buttons have been spaced out to provide more comfort to the end user as well. Competitive fighters should also be happy to learn that they will be able to disable the Xbox One, View and Menu buttons so that you won’t accidentally pause the fighting game.
The best thing about the T.E.2 is that it is easily customizable as you can remove the bezel and top panel to include your own art work as well as being able to add custom stick and buttons.
