A d-pad is 100% better than using a joystick so why do faggots run out and buy arcade sticks to play fighting games? They're inferior in every way. The only thing that makes sense is that you get closer to an arcade experience but who cares about that in a competitive setting? Most faggots that buy arcade sticks buy them for competitive play. That doesn't make sense. A d-pad is way more precise than a stupid joystick in a game where combos matter.
