Any guys here playing Fighting games?

Ken or Ryu are the easiest in my view. Guile isn't hard too since he is a "back forward" character, but there is some complexity with his specials and I've known people to not execute them well.

The stick is good if you want the arcade feel, and in that sense it is worth it, but totally unnecessary. If you intend to go pro then it is essential, though. Where I love tournies are only done with the stick.
