To stick or not to stick, that's the ?

Generally a stick will improve your game in any fighter. Especially in the directional department, but it takes some getting used to.
When playing on a pad you get those shoulder buttons though, making sure you don't screw up any dubble presses.

I prefer pad. SCIV aint that hard of a game to play compared to sum others and most inputs can be done easily on a pad. It's really just what your used to. I've only ever played on pad and everything feels natural. The PS3 D pad feels precise and I use the analog for the circular motions. Not to mention button mapping does help.

I bought a stick and tried it out but failed. I know i can change but at first it even felt a bit wierd cause it felt like i had to reach a long way to hit block and had no way how to actually hold the stick. It was hard for me to even hit diagonals.
