Sticks still used for fighting games (Score 1)

I still have a whole box of old joysticks for my Commie 64 just collecting dust in the attic. It's a shame that that the traditional stick is essentially gone from gaming these days. Right now the only modern application of the arcade-style joystick is for use in competitive fighting games (such as Tekken, Street Fighter, Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur, etc..) Since I play these games daily, I have an array of various traditional arcade joysticks I've built myself or imported from different countries. Console pads are cool, however sticks offer precise full-hand and wrist articulation, whereas pad controls rely solely on the thumb.
