I currently am using my Dualshock 4 wireless on my computer to play most of my games, however it doesn't appear to work with SSF2. is there some setting or something that i'm missing or does SSF2 simply not support that controller?

SSF2 v0.9b does not support controllers.
However, the upcoming version--SSF2 BETA--will support any and all controllers!
Please be patient for SSF2 BETA's eventual release, as there is no specific release date yet.

Or you could constantly pester officials for the latest version.

That's always fun

thanks guys! that's my mistake, i thought that i saw someone say that it supported controllers, but maybe they were talking about beta. and believe me, I'm not someone who's going to pester the creators of such an awesome and free fan game.

You're smart.
