Don't know about the others, as I kind of tried to get truly into BB only after getting a stick, but I noticed a great deal more control for myself when it came to Street Fighter. I can't FADC for the life of me with a regular controller in that game, much less combo off it. Arcade sticks made such an order MUCH easier. As for BB, I could never accurately do bursts on a regular controller, nevermind RCing.
