And all I'm saying is, when it comes to games like S4, it's arcade stick or bust. That was really my only point.DarkCatalystYeah, I'm just leaning the subject more into 3DS and handheld fighting games (even if you may not care for it all that much lol) For a handheld ,an arcade stick defeats the purpose. Just trying to give more credit to thumbsticks (?, whatever the broad term is :P) which I would say is the best, reasonable control for such a platform for fighting games.

Aww c'mon now :P Arcade stick may be the defacto, but analog have proven it's efficiency ever since the NeoGeo pocket color. Now the 3DS will be more capable getting better handheld fighting games than it's predecessors for that.[QUOTE="martialbullet"][QUOTE="DarkCatalyst"] Without arcade stick support, it's not even really worth thinking about.Metamania
DC does have a point though, I have to admit. Fighting games on portable systems don't do well, in part to the controls. I've yet to see a good fighting game take advantage of the control system and use it well.
The last time I played a fighting game was on the PSP and it was Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max. I bought a better D-Pad through PlayAsia and it worked out great.
Like I said, the NeoGeo Pocket Color showed that fighting games could play well on a handheld due to it's analog stick setup. Snk vs. Capcom: MotM and Gal's Fighter are rock solid examples of that.
I think many people are overlooking the efficiency of the analog stick. It's got full 8-way control just like an arcade stick with little of the pressure that comes with it. It works far better than a d-pad, especially for rotating motions. Analog shouldn't be dismissed and only becoming a say of "Arcade stick outdoes d-pad".
Though PSP's "analog" isn't suited that well for fighting games.
