For STGs: d-pad > arcade stick

prove me wrong

pro tip: You Can't

The small buttons aren't a problem for fighting games at all. I never had any problem with the small XYZ buttons on the Saturn pad, and sure never had any problem with the C buttons either. As long as your thumb isn't a sausage I don't think they're a problem.

As for the "d-pad is useful for menus"; no, because that'd mean you have to constantly switch your left hand between handles.

N64 controller is made to be held in 3 different positions: Left (left hand on d-pad, right hand on stick), Right (left hand on stick, right hand on buttons) and classic position which is left hand on d-pad and right on buttons.

>The dpad is actually really good and a familiar choice amongst some high end players in the shmups community

1/10, this is a joke right? high end players won't even accept anything other than the original PCB and a good stick. Otherwise pic related is the best.
The playstation d-pad is good for JRPG menu managing, I'll give you that.
