How's Street Fighter 4 with the regular controller?

How's Street Fighter 4 with the regular controller? I am interested in buying the game but not if I really need to buy the arcade joystick.

I use the analog stick without a problem. Go for it. ;) you dont need an arcade stick to enjoy it.

It is great with the regular controller I had the Tournament stick and sold it after I used it in over 200+ matches and am still winning at the same rate while having clocked in 200+ matches with the regular controller. The arcade joystick is really nice do not get me wrong but the actual controller is less responsive but not bad at all. I like both and prefer joystick because it is a little more fun but my winning percent is the same with both joystick or controller. I am currently using the controller because I wanted the extra cash for the tournament stick and got my fun out of if already.Sherjas24

Im sorry I have to disagree with you; the 360 controller is terrible and incredibly unresponsive. Its almost impossible to pull off some moves in the heat of battle. i can bareley beat the trials with it.

It's horrible. I'm honestly finding it unplayble.

I need to save up for an arcade stick :(

It works like a dream, I got it today; anxious but it works just fine! But be warned, Seth will make your remote obselete!!!!!

Its not too bad for me but performing supers can be a pain.

its ok with 360 controller you will win and you will lose but thank god i found a street fighter fightpad in gamestop today now im kicking major ass online

I wouldn't recommend buying SF4 without a proper controller. Try Soul Calibur 4 instead, it's much more fun on the Xbox pad.

It depends on your skill level and what character your playing as. At my skill level it's fine, but if I were trying to pull off cancels and links it would probably drive me crazy.

It takes a little getting used to if u are use to something else but if u havent gotten use to like a playstation controller for fighting games its fine

It playes perfectly fine with a 360 controller.

huge waste of sixty bucks....the regular controller is not COMPLETELY unresponsive (still never seen guile's Ultra move) but linking combos and winning on any difficulty level higher than medium is damn never impossible without buying a tourny stick.

read my review...it'll set u straight... RENT, DONT BUY!

I know saying this sounds like a fanboy and is a bit cliched but I think it's ok for me to say it since it's true. But you just suck at the game. The 360 controller is fine. Street Fighter is all about skill and practicing to get better. You not being able to do Guile's ultra is your own problem. It's easy to do with the 360 controller. I suggest you practice some more

to be honest, the 360 controller works just fine with me as long as i'm using the Stick and not the D-Pad. I got a SF4 Fight Pad on the way to my house and i'm excited how it turns out ;)

I have A FightStick and it's great but the joystick has A square gate for the stick.I am used to A rounde gate so it took A little while to get used to.As for the 360 controlor if you use the analog stick it works really good just make sure that you asign the buttons the way that best works for the fighter your going to use.

the analog stick will get you by just fine. It's the d-pad that's garbage. Anyone saying that the 360 contoller is completely unresponsive is either using the d-pad or is just trash at the game. Of course the stick is better, though. sourcerah

Agreed. I fend pretty well with just the analog stick and it seems to work very good. Not quite as good as an arcade stick (obviously), but it does the job. If you ever face an opponent with an aracade stick online, you'll know pretty fast. :P

If you want a hardcore setup go with this, http://www.consolesource.com/ecomm/catalog/Xbox-360-Max-Shooter-v2-p-2794.html ,and get a custom stick from http://www.massystems.com/ProStick.html . Also to keep your stick from sliding around when doing combos get some 10 lbs. ankle weights to put inside of the joystick box.

didn't GameSpot say something about Microsoft making a reworked 360 controller for SF3? Is it the one that looks more like a Genesis controller?

The left stick works well enough, but I would highly recommend getting an arcade stick for it. Either way, there's no reason for a casual player to pick this game up when they can just get SFII from the arcade.
