At least you took the first step I'm too much of a chicken to even try one. -_-

Right Patrick, I'm going to practice at least one month. If I still don't get used to it, I'll try a korean or american strick (because actual is Japanese).

LOL David! LOL! But I think it's not matters of "chikeness", it is about what works better for u. I have found arcade stick much better than 360 pad, but 44 or 66 inputs and giving me trouble and some times diagonals too.

It took me a long time before i got used to my stick. Nailing holds was the toughest part for me.

DOA is hard to play on stick. I can only play 2D fighters on stick. Pad is more convenient for 3D FG's.

Thing is though I hate the 360 gamepad especially when doing Eliot's 663P and 46P. Still considering it let me know how the stick works out for you Tulkas.
