XBLA Fighters too hard

Way too many ways too break the 4th wall for goofs.

Might have already been posted to death, but I don't care - it's awesome that this is in the game!

But... why? I'm genuinely curious since I want to actually be more into playing. The most you get out of most mainstream video game sites is "because."

Are you asking why a stick is considered better? I think the main reason is that some execution techniques are only possible on an arcade stick. Pianoing, double-tapping, and plinking (sf4) are examples. Other than that it is just preference. A lot of the best players play in arcades, so arcade sticks are what they are used to. It's possible to play well with a pad though. There's a really good Zangief player in Street Fighter 4 called Vangief who plays with a pad. He can do standing 720s on the pad.

The only thing I never understood was insistance on D-pad. I just can't see effect half-circles and 360 inputs with that. It doesn't compute.

I think I'm just jealous of stick owners lol. Stick envy if you will.
