So like the title says...

I've been playing with consol controllers forever until recently.  My girl friend found an
Arcade at a mall that's about an hour an a half from home and oh boy I was in heaven!
They have just about every single fighting game that matters, they even have a ps4
Inside a cab with street fighter 4!  The first couple of times I went I didnt know what
I was doing so I bought a cheap fight stick for ps1 called "Blaze pro-shock arcade"
Took that shit home and practiced the shit outta it.  At first I was a noob and one
Night while blazing lol I booted up some 3rd strike and started bustin dragon
Punches like a pro with Ken and my life changed forever! Never will I go back to
A controller eww yuck.  The pro-shock arcade was a good starter stick for me, the
Stick is actually good I read somewhere its basically a sanwa, the buttons are are
A different story.  Then recently I moved up my game to the classic ps1 Namco
Fight stick and I love it.

So what's your preferred tool to whoop dat azz?

This thread needs a poll.
Controller forever. I just can't handle a stick, I never know what direction I'm pressing and all my QCFs end up with a jump forward.
edit - oh, and it should probably be in the gaming / fighting games section.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

Neither to be honest (keyboard user here :P), but if someone had a PS4 SFV set up, I would probably use the pad much before I try the stick (although I have played using both and they both have their advantages and disadvantages, it's all preference, really).

Poll added! And also my stick has a square gate, if anybody can elaborate on square vs octagonal and so on that would be great since I dont have too much experience with that

I use a keyboard.

Unless it has the UMVC3/Injustice/JJBA layout, then it's a pad.

I can't afford a stick so I've never gotten used to using them, I'm god awful with them tbh.

Stick. Even though I still don't own one, gotta buy a toy steering wheel first.

All that time hopping laundromats last year really helped me get better with them.

Oh wow I didnt expect so many users to pick keyboards, I thought you guys were pros and used fight sticks! Lol
Yea I know they can be expensive especially a good one, my starter was about $15 and my Namco fight astick was $60 on eBay imported from Japan. Eventually when my moneys right I might get one of the $200 ones.

If we're talking PC then I use a keyboard too. I figured it was about consoles, since most of my fighting games are on a console, I don't play them on PC.

Where do you live that has this amazing arcade?

Keyboard and controllers for me. I have problems using fight sticks unless I'm standing up.

I have not played for months now, if not years; funny thing it takes me a while topick up a gamepad, but as far as joystick goes I can adapt to them as if I never stopped using them, dunno why it happens like that.

I played a lot on arcades back in the day, funny thing is, arcades here had the  stick itself on the right side, I noticed you guys have it on the left in the USA if the stick is on the left I cant move hahahhah

As of in the last 10 years or so I use a keyboard arrows for movement
ASD  for punches
ZXC for kicks
Its a 9 out of 10 setup, but  hypers such as alex's hyper bomb are an issue.

As for pads and stuff, I cant use them, I am shit with pads,the  game pad stick is waay to floaty for me, an arcade stick I can use if the nob is on the right.

Those hit boxes look pretty cool are they like playing with a keyboard?
Basically. It took me a week or so to completely adapt to it after playing with a HRAP3 for years. The biggest hurdle is the bottom red button being the UP direction, but now it's second nature AND I still can swap between a stick and the hitbox.

I still need to grab a PS4 version though.

I raise late80s early 90s mexican arcades, with p1's joystick in the left side and p2's joystick in the right side; you'd have to play crossed regardless of which side you got used to.

If you enjoy keyboard I strongly suggest investing in a hitbox.  It's basically the same experience and you can use it on consoles as well.
