Im playing with my controller. DP(Dragon Punch) motions are bah to do on controllers. It works, but its annoying.

Im going to get an arcade stick, it allows you to do the combos much faster imo. Your thumb "traveling" to press a diffrent button causes a little delay between taps, while with an arcade stick its just a finger tap instead of thumb travel.

Just get the game check it out with a controller, if you really want to get into it get a stick.

Really? I didn't thought that was the case..

you can make inputs faster and more precise on a stick in comparison to a pad but regardless its still fun to play

I also think all those quarter circles and dragon punches on a pad hurts your hands after awhile and last but not least PS3 Pad > 360 pad when it comes to comfort for fighting games.

There are pros and cons to both but eventually it all boils down to what you're most comfortable using

The Madcatz Tournament Editions are the most popular choice among tournament players.

Because in the end its the cheapest you can get a standardized Sanwa TE for. SE (Standard Edition) are usually of bad quality and just don't feel good. TE (Tournament Edition) is the standard and Hori can't compete with the price.

What does a combo video have to do with actually playing the game and what part of that is more impressive than what Desk and Tragic have been doing?

Hint: nothing.

Hustler Brian uses the hitbox in MvC3 and reached Grand Finals in the most recent WNF

Loser's Finals: http://www.justin.tv/offcast/b/280788890
Grand Finals: http://www.justin.tv/offcast/b/280801374

I don't know how much truth there is to this but the hitbox might be able to register both block directions against cross ups in MvC3. doesn't mean the guy using the hitbox was using such an exploit though.

Combovideos show the extent of the game engine and is also an outlet for creativity.

Don't hate.

I would love to see someone try and compete with a standard PS3/Xbox controller, I just don't see how anyone could pull it off.

It's like playing GT5 without a wheel, it's possible to a point.

I held a couple of world #1 lap times in GT5:P and some euro #1s in GTHD (was region based), all on pad.

There are pros and cons in gt and overall a wheel is an advantage, but you can certainly compete on all but the most wheel-favoured tracks.
