The main reason is because they grew up in arcades, or around other people who used sticks and said to themselves "I need to get myself a stick". I played MvC2 competitively, there was no such thing as pads. Now though, I've been forced to use a pad because of my CTS. I'm a lot worse obviously, but there's nothing I can't do on one, and years of console gaming have made the transition relatively painless.
@poster above: Yeah, the SRK forums aren't very well frequented for the unpopular characters in 2012. I don't know where to find good Juri advice either.
Fanatiq played MvC2 on a pad i heard. I personally grew up on super street fighter 2 on snes and can't play stick since i hardly went to arcades as a child.
Don't think so. There was no such thing as console MvC2 for much of its life, and until fairly recently most fighting game tourneys have always been held on arcade cabs (they still are in Japan).
Yeah t-hawk is the only character in the game i'd say you'd do pretty bad with no matter your skill, dan isn't all that bad in 2012 same with hakan and they used to be considered the worst two, but t-hawks worst matchups are some of the most common characters which is why he will likely never win an event unless he gets buffs or they get nerfs.

What?
MvC2 was released on the Dreamcast in 2000, the same year it was released at arcades. LOL.

Fanatiq has always played on pad. And the big switch to consoles happened quite a while ago. Evo completely switched to consoles in 2004, most other majors followed their lead soon after, or earlier in regards to a few others.

I tried going stick. Nope. It was incredibly awkward for me until I switch up to pad, then good things happened afterwards.

you were sayin'? theres even a mod for the dreamcast where you can switch out the songs in MvC2 to your own music.

Yeah. For SF4, stick has a large advantage over pad imho. Its widely used by many tournament players and casuals alike but that doesn't mean you can't play with a pad. That doesn't mean you can't work with a pad. That also doesn't mean pad is obsolete either.
Play with what you got, work with it and you'll do just fine. Hell, I play Street fighter (any street fighter) on stick but you want me to play my best for Tekken or Soul Calibur? give me a pad, not a stick (Playing Tekken since tag on pad til tekken 6 and all the sudden you WANT me to switch to stick just cause you think its better? honestly, go away). Its also widely accepted to play pad for tekken. Its not like I'm going to a local arcade to smash some fools anyway (Not that everyone has an arcade to go to, even then not everyone goes to the arcade either. would be nice)
If you got money to afford a stick, by all means go for it! a Hori Real Arcade Pro (The most current HRAP is HRAP V I think?) is fine from Hori, a TE stick from Madcatz is fine, the Eight Arc/Qanba sticks are fantastic too. But if you want to use a pad for whatever reason, GO FOR IT.
Oh and if you want a better story: I learn how to play Wesker/Sentinel/Magneto pretty well in MvC3.
ON THE FUCKING VITA. Which lets me play on pad pretty damn well.

I have both the xbox and pc version and i prefer the pc version. The connection is better as are the graphics. You can almost always find a game but on a rare occasion it can be hard. I also feel there is overall a lot less masher on the pc version which is a definitely a good thing.

The graphics and netcode are better, but when I play against someone with 'variable' frames option on or whatever, the playing experience becomes downright atrocious ~_~
Wolfkrone can play on both pad and stick and around season's beatings last year was frustrated and said he'd swap to stick. But after changing up his training (said hte main problem was playing too much online and not enough offline as the timings are different) he went to canada cup on pad and did great and since uses pad.
Stick vs Pad is all about your preference and if you want to invest the time into learning it. Sticks obviously cost more but are the most popular so they have a lot of support information teaching tricks and techniques on the stick. Another issue is that PS3 and XBOX pads are different, if you ever go to a meetup or tournament which uses another console, you can't just borrow a pad as the layout is likely going to be significantly different unlike most sticks which are madcatz tes or other brands.

But it is worth to buy right?
I only bought the PC version because it was 9.99 on amazon a few weeks ago. It's 21 dollars atm I say go for it. It still has a decent amount of players playing online, and you can mod the game if you're into that. The two main things I don't like about it is when people have 'variable' frame settings on, because it seems to make the match and the games frame skippy & lagging. I think those are the people with bad PC's. Second is there are less players than XBL, but you will still have no problem finding a match.

Congrats, learn how to read. PS2 port was nearly 3 years after MvC2 had a competitive scene, and I'm not sure how you can even mention Dreamcast. Nobody owned a Dreamcast, and no competitive player used it to practice MvC2. As for the PS2 port itself, it was insanely hard to find and expensive (my copy was ~$100), so most people just stuck to arcades.

Huh? MvC2 had a competitive scene all the way up until MvC3 was released. A lot of tournaments even ran the game on console, most notably EVO once they decided to ditch arcade cabinets in like, 2005 or whatever.
