    I use the 360's analog stick. In some trials though, I had to switch to the horrendous D-Pad because I find it easier to dash compared to the analog.

    I use the Xbox 360 dpad. I'm probably one of the only few. I would have to practice using the analog to be efficient with it. But I can tell you, I wish I had a fight stick. lol

    I had an old crappy DOA4 stick from when that game first came out. I was quick to mod the thing while I was waiting for my preorder. For all the pics and a step-by-step, go to www.fuzzyshot.com/dcmyers

    I found making your own stick was well worth the money. Especially since the TE sticks are so hard to come by.

    I'm playing it on the pc right no, I use the logitec cordless rumble pad 2 and it works well. The dpad is good and stuff, I heard ppl were having trouble using the dpad on the xbox360'd controller. The game was just released on steam a few days ago from this post.

    It takes getting used to, but the 360 analog stick works great....terrible terrible d-pad though, pretty much useless in sf4

    I dropped a chunk of change on the Tournament Edition Fight Stick for my PC.... but I've yet to really dive into SF4, it just seems a bit overwhelming at times with how deep the fighting system is and how long its been since I've played any Street Fighter.

    But the Stick is great for ZSNES

    I am so good at SFIV I can use a ps3 pad on a 360 and still win.


    And then I woke up!

     Since forever I have been using the 360 analog. There is only so much you can do with it though, which should be expected. Just try anything that requires canceling. Honestly, to even be a scrub Ryu you need to cancel out of srk to go into ultra. So I just ordered a fight pad about 5 minutes ago (Ken version!!) and if that goes well, I will step up to a stick. Maybe I will finally be able to beat SpecialBuddy's god damn Rufus!

    I use a gamepad with a big, old-style d-pad (thrustmaster dual trigger 3in1). I am a most casual SFIV player, though - just in there for the retro fun.

    I use the PS3's D-pad mainly because that's my fighting game go too controller.

    I might buy the Fightpad but that's not until I get a job.

    Made the move to stick about 10 days ago. The SE works well when it wants to, but overall it has shoddy construction. Hopefully my Sanwa parts will get here next week....at my current rate, all my buttons will be dead by next weekend.

    I don't use any because I sold my copy of SF IV. Haha.
     
    But when I did play, I used the 360's analog stick.

    I use the official fightpad and it gets the job done. I would like a stick, but just can't justify shelling out the dough to get a good one.

    I Saitek P880, it's the only PC controller i have, it's a very bad transition from that to a 360 controller when playing with friends.

    Modded, the SE is cheaper and better then a te (much smaller)
     
    I spent 80 on se, 25.95 on sanwa 8 way/4way stick, and 12 bucks on buttons. Best controller ever.
