Well as the topic title states do I need to buy an arcade stick controller for Super Street Fighter 4 or should I just buy one of the Madcatz Street Fighter controllers instead? I am sorry if this is a stupid question ,but I am new to the franchise.
What are you most comfortable with? That is the chief (nay, only) concern you should have.
I grew up playing on both arcade cabinets as well as at home on the Genesis. Oddly enough with SF4 I tried playing on an arcade stick and... nothing. In fact, I played 4x worse on a stick than I did with the gamepad. For me, it was a $100+ crapshoot that turned out to be a roll on snake eyes. I went back to the gamepad, and continued to perform as to be expected of my level.
Don't believe the hype. Arcade sticks are not essential to high level play, they just make it look fancy.
It's a preference so no one can answer it but you. IF you really want to get to really high level of play though and are willing to put in alot of practice in then by all means get the stick. If you don't care to be up there then you don't need either. There are plenty of pad warriors doing very well.
