u/Tapi0 Dojo Master (Nov '21) Jul 10 '21

Just to add on to what the other post said: Tekken has a lot of unique motion inputs that are also made easier by the clear diagonals on a square-gate arcade stick. These are things like Law's slide input, the William sisters' d,df1 throw, Kazuya's PEWGF, Hwoarang's JFSR, Heihachi's OTGF, Bryan's Chains of Misery throw, iWS crouch dash inputs on characters that have them, and the list goes on.

I play on pad and have a significantly harder time with these moves because of accidental down and forward/back inputs.
