Takehara made that face when he found out he had to play against Machaboo first round in a tourney.

Need some advice fighting fans.
I told my girlfriend that I wanted to try and get good at Street Fighter so she bought me a mini Hori fight stick for the PS4.
I've never used a fight stick before and I like that this Hori stick isn't too big and I can play with it on my lap, but...
I am absolutely terrible with it.
I've looked up online tutorials showing me how to hold the stick itself and I've spent about an hour in the training mode trying to get the inputs down but I'm really struggling to land anything with any consistency.
In comparison when I use the standard DS4 controller I find it so much easier to pull off moves.
Should I stick with the stick or go back to the controller? I'm finding the game borderline unplayable with the stick at present

There is no benefit to using a stick over a pad, that myth has been completely obliterated at this point. Use what you find comfortable. Sticks are mostly for old fucks like myself who grew up in the arcade.

Ah that's good to hear.
I thought fight sticks were superior so I was thinking I would try and solider on and get used to it but I'm really not finding it fun at all as I feel like I have no real control over the game. Back to the standard pad I go.

learning a new controller type is a big learning curve no matter how you slice it
I wouldn't give up on it right away, the impulse is always there when it seems harder at first, but trust your gut if it really feels wrong to you
for me I felt like the buttons were so much better than controller but have always had a hard time with the joystick, which is why I play mostly on hitbox
The best player in the world (Knuckledu) uses a DS4 as do many other top players, hell Louffy uses a ratty ass PS1 pad.

I use a stick because I forced myself to learn it during SF IV and now can't go back to pad.
Also, I like the degree of customization available.

I use stick cause playing FGs on pad make my hands hurt
There is, and vice versa, depending on the game. SFV certainly doesn't benefit stick users, but other games like Guilty Gear absolutely does.
It's not a myth depending on the game, try playing Vampire Savior on a pad.

I only use pad on SF and BB, but I can't get used to stick.
I'll be at Frosty Faustings, just confirmed the flight. Probably not entering the tournament proper, just Catherine.

I use a lot of different peripherals for different games. I use a pad for Street Fighter 5, a stick for KOF XIV, and a Hitbox for Killer Instinct, just to name a few.
I'd probably end up using both a stick and a pad for Tekken 7.

I try to switch every few months and give up after three to five days.And yet you play with pad
That's not to say GG can't be played with a pad, some of the best players are pad users. But characters like Zato, Johnny, Vanilla May and generally characters that require a lot of OSing(like I-No (ಥ﹏ಥ
) will always give a bit of advantage to stick users.SixMachine

I haven't played BBCF in a few weeks since Let It Die and other games in my backlog. But I went over a family friend's house after flying to NY and he had it. I had to play on pad and not stick, but it reminded me of how much I do like the game. Actually prefer it over Guilty Gear because that game feels like you get steamrolled into multiple setups. I still would like it to make another showing at Evo, though I don't think it will beat out GG.

It would take anyone longer than that to get acclimated with stick if you've never used one before. The fact that you're struggling doesn't at this point mean anything is wrong. That is 100% expected.
It's true that many people play on pad and do fine. But just keep in mind that the benefit of the stick is not in pulling off solitary moves, like a fireball - it's in the more advanced stuff. I find complex combos much easier on a stick than pad, because of the button layout. It's doing contortions with your right hand on a pad vs. tapping buttons like a piano on the stick. I don't think one needs an arcade background to at least see the ergonomic advantage there.
If you are fairly new to fighting games, but do really want to get good, I think you owe yourself more than an hour to at least see how you like the stick, especially since you've had a quality stick dropped in your lap, so to speak, something a lot of people don't have the luxury of.

If you're extremely certain you want to use stick, then use it and only it until you're comfortable with it. Depending on how much pad muscle memory you have built up, it could take weeks or months to create new habits. You'll have to get used to fucking up your inputs and holding L's due to that until you're good enough for it not to be a problem.
I picked up stick because I got tired of rubbing my thumbs raw and cramping my fingers on pad. Took me like 6 months to feel "comfortable". Now, playing a fighting game on pad feels about as foreign to me as playing on stick does to you. I love stick and I can't go back. I've sought out playing other arcade stick friendly games just to use it more often because I enjoy using it that much.
