it is good for fighting games. one of my friends, who bought Mortal Kombat X and all those characters on PS4. Bought the fighting sticks as well. i've seen him play, he has extra $$$. for me, i'm okay with the normal controller for a fighting game. i'll buy other gamers than another accessory as much as possible.

The thing with MKX is that it was designed with a regular controller in mind: 4 attack buttons only and special moves catered more to a dpad. So IMO an arcade stick won't make as much of a difference.

Play an older SF with 6 attack buttons, and more joystick-focused special moves, and you will really see the difference.

I've got a couple of Virtua Sticks for my Saturn, with an adaptor for my Dreamcast as well. I've used a handful of friend's as well, including a homemade stick using proper arcade buttons in a lunchbox.

true. the SF with that low, mid, high punch and kicks. plus 3 punches or 3 kicks for the 7th and 8th button would be better.  

but again i would just use a normal controller for any fighting game and use the money to buy other games than buy the stick controller.  unless i have a ton of cash.
