Yeah, I am used to a pad only. But struggling a little with the off and on numbness in my thumb. Makes the dpad a bitch to use for blocking. When I am ill I jump constantly like a jackrabbit to avoid taking dmg as I just can't feel where the fuck the block is lolI switched to a fight stick a year ago and swore i was better for it. Now i have switched back to ds4 pad and i sware im.better with it than the stick lol. Its odd. I think as long as you can get used to it a dpad is faster and easier than a stick and the buttons require less travel so timing can be easier.
It prob just depends what your used to really. I guess thats why the old timers all use sticks and the new blood all seem to use ds4.
Tried a stick a while back on SF4, didn't like it at all but I wasn't ill back then. Thinking a stick with a ball on top is a bigger thing to grab and it has a variety of ways in which to move it (side of hand, wrist etc)
