LOL, good one.
Anyway, OP, if you want to get into the tournament scene you need to play Super SF4 which is only on consoles at the moment (and may or may not ever be on PC). If you want to play casually you can pick up PC version, but you're not going to find a lot of competition. There are holdouts, though, if you check the SF4 forum on Shoryuken you can find people in you area to play against.
Regarding a stick, that's up to you. Good pad players are showing up all over these days. But IMO you'll be at a long-term advantage if you learn on a stick. It's the interface fighting games are designed for. Of course, you can always switch to stick once you're comfortable with fighting games and are sure it's worth spending the money.

Not sure I agree with this (as a Bison player myself). Newbie charge char players tend to become obsessed with holding downback and making sure they have charge, then wonder why they're having such a hard time with spacing/zoning and setting up offense.Not saying he shouldn't start with a charge char, but he shouldn't use a charge char just because he's a newbie. There are better characters to learn fundamentals with IMO.
