    Hey everyone,

    I got myself SSFIV there on Friday and have being playing most of this weekend, great improvement from 4 so far, good job Capcom!

    Anyway, I'm considering getting an arcade stick in the next week or 2 to play the game as the Xbox's controller is hard to use and I find it impossible to execute certain moves on it. ( I want to be well trained on it for when the tournament DLC comes out ) I don't have a lot of money to play around with so what would be the best Arcade Stick that I could get for the Xbox 360 at a reasonable price?

    Thanks in advance.

    Go for the fight pad in HMV. It's only 25 euro and I found it better than the hori which is twice the price.

    If money is indeed a big issue then the fightpad might indeed be your best option.

    If money is the problem get the hori ex2 or Madcats SE.

    You might even get them on ebay cheap.

    Indeed, if The SE is not too dear it's a good idea, you will have to swap some parts out sooner rather than later if yo keep playing though.

    Swapping is for the weak. STOCK parts for the win :D

    I find the fightpads to be utterly useless. Go for the arcade stick option.

    I think it depends on what you mainly played SF with when you were younger. I did'nt play much in the arcade,played on the snes and megadrive instead, so playing with a D-pad feels much more natural to me. I've found the fight pads to be far superior to any main stream controller for fighting games. 360 D-pad is terrible and despite what some people say the PS3's D-pad is'nt much better.
