Post your sticks! (if you use them.)

Do sticks help one's execution? I'm a complete doofus and often throw out completely the wrong move or drop easy combos. This happens far more frequently online, but still. Does it make doing the moves easier? If it's relevant, I play my controller piano style, pressing the right-side buttons with my fingers rather than my thumb.

In my opinion everything is pretty much equal with pad and stick except for two things:

1) Movement is easier on pad
2) Slide inputs (agA) are easier on stick

Other than that everything is just about the same, for Soul Calibur at the least.

On the 2d side, charge characters are much less painful on a stick. (I get thumb cramps on a pad.)

Also prefer tapping motions on a stick. A pad feels slower for those to me.

Can't fathom using a stick D:

Need ma shoulder buttons. lol

Strongly disagree. If you play a charge character you can use the triggers to hold charges leaving your thumbs free.

I've never seen a 2d fighter that lets you map directional inputs to the triggers.
