Stick a good investment?

PS3, both casuals and tourneys, end-all be-all one-stop-shop for fighters.

I know that one's grasp of the game doesn't change regardless of the means to carry them out; however, it seems like expressing oneself through stick is... more fitting than pad.

I'd put in the practice (but I regularly practice now with a pad anyway).

It's just that... I would like the luxury of more control... if a stick even offers that.

like I said, I wouldn't even be touching a stick with SCIV.
Regionals are too close...
 
Sticks are really nice if you play 2d fighters. SC has easy enough inputs that you wouldn't get much additional benefit out of it. I think shaking stuns and multiple button inputs are pretty much the only things that would get a lot easier.

They also have the tendency to make arcade style games in general just more fun to play, like manic shooters. A little expensive though if you're just buying it for that reason.
 
I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT recommend getting a Hori FS3 or a Hori EX2... they are the worst sticks Hori has ever made. They will break in a good 2 months if you are lucky. If you want ot make an investment, get a Hori RAP3; its a better stick; if you really want to make a good investment, get a Hori RAP3 Special Edition; as it has all Sanwa parts in it.
 
The hrap is also easy enough to mod with your own sanwa parts, and quite a bit cheaper if you do as it is still 90 dollars on amazon.
 
Yeah, it didn't make too much sense to me... if I were buying a stick for the luxury of precision and control, why would I get a cheap stick that didn't have that?

Hearing stuff like how you can activate a button by just brushing your finger across it... it's like there's a lot more subtlety when using a proper stick.

This is the hobby I've chosen to (I hope) keep me from going senile in my older years, so money isn't an issue if it's reasonable.
