[quote name='Runtus_Maximus']Are the guilty gear games reasonable to play with a game pad? Or are they better suited for a fight stick? If so any recommendations for a good fight stick?[/QUOTE]
A lot of it boils down to preference (both between pad vs stick, and what stick to use), but Madcatz' TE sticks are the best for entry-level, and will stick around for a long time if you like them. There's usually at least one version on sale for around $100 every once in awhile, and there's always huge sales during major tournaments.
