I got an 8 button arcade stick for Christmas, and I was wondering if anybody could help me? Like how long will it take to adapt to it and just get back into the flow of things. I was really good on a pad and right now I'm not seeing much of a point from switching to a stick from the pad. But it does make some things easier; like for example, Gief's 360's and SPD motion in general. Grapple characters I can see using well with the stick. But aside from that, I don't see how this stick is going to help me much. My mains are Seth, Sagat, and maybe probably Gief soon, but I use a wide range of characters usually.
Here's a picture of my stick; it's a WWE Raw stick because those were the only ones available, I don't think it matters too much though, whether it's a Mad Catz stick or a random miscellaneous stick; it's still a stick, right? -- http://goodgames4you.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/c7198_WWE_All_Stars_5597708847_0230510aec.jpg
