Controllers or Joysticks

[KnightWarrior]

For Fighting Games..What do you use the most?

I'm used to a Controller

SNES, Genesis 6 & the Model 2 Saturn Pad

I just can't get in too Sticks if I tried.......

For Soul Calibur I use control pad and that's because I can do moves more consistently with a pad than with a stick. With Cervantes I can iGDR and iTP more consistently as note that for iTP the pad has the left analogue as another option of moving the character and I take advantage of both when executing iTP consistently.

The only advantage of the stick over the pad at least from my experience is breaking from throws more often.

I really believe this depends on preference. For me, I took it a step further and went for a HitBox which understandably wouldn't appeal to most people used to a stick, much less a pad.

All I will say is, don't let the large number of stick players fool you -- the controller doesn't make the player. If you want to go for a stick or stay in pad, do it for the right reasons (like you actually liking it).
