Hey guys! I need some advice.
Street Fighter IV
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 18, 2008
After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
I Need Some SFIV Advice
I played SF2 on the SNES, so the Fightpad works out best for me. If you grew up playing SF on a pad, I could not recommend the Fightpad more. They're pretty much impossible to find, but they're going to be bundled with the PC version of the game according to 1Up. I can't comment on the quality of any of the joysticks.
I would wait for new shipments, since every stick or pad I look at is sold out. Hori's website is getting new ones in July, apparently.
According to the bombcast there will be made new fighsticks for the release of MvC2, so if you dont have any luck finding one before then you can just preorder one of those.
Yeah, new sticks being released with MVC2, Not sure if you seen my video about the fightstick bitching or me modding it, but they're both available at my vimeo page (which I no longer use). As for arcade sticks in general, they're probably not going to make you better, you just have to make a commitment to Street Fighter to get better. If you're used to a pad I'd say stick with it, but if you're willing to take the initial performance hit to learn how to play on a stick, it's not a bad investment.
Yeah, I am willing take the performance hit. Looks like I will have to wait until the MvC2 sticks come out because I can't find anything that isn't ridiculously priced right now. :/

Sounds like I will be waiting for a fight stick for a long time... I set up auto notifcations so whenthe SFIV sticks come in I'll know about it from a couple websites at least.
I play on the X360 controller and do fine. Honestly, it really doesn't matter what you use to play the game, it's how you play it.

Blaming a controller for your lack of skills and spending $100+ on another one, and thinking you'll play god like right out of the gate, isn't the wisest move.

Yeah, the stick would probably give you better handling and easier combos, but it will take some time before you truly begin to dominate with it (even longer if you've never used one before).
I've had a lot of friends who gave up on theirs, complaining that they weren't any better with them than with the X360 pads. You've gotta have a lot of patience with it.
If you're willing to dedicate the time to get good with it, I say go for it. All the pro's use them, so there must be some advantage I suppose.
Good luck.

It's still pretty decent though, and it'll hold over until (hopefully) more sticks come out.
I use the 360 controller's analog stick for SF. Ah, I'm going to start a poll.
