I got the tournament edition of mk9, I never fully got used to the stick. couldn't do inputs, especially bf and those are important to reptile, fast enough. Maybe I need to try the more traditional stick as opposed to the bat top american type.
I really wasn't fond of that layout. Well, I didn't mind it do a degree, but I couldn't play Kabal on a stick so I've stuck with pad. I want a hitbox tho.
