The arcade scene in Japan never died, so everybody that plays Street Fighter played on stick in the arcade basically.

During our arcade hey day, the only two arcade scenes that were popping like that were NY and Cali (NorCal and SoCal). A lot of the older cats that are 25 and up (Justin, Sanford, Arturo, Ricky, Valle, Choi, etc) play on stick. Cali's arcade scene laster longer than the East coast so some of the younger dudes play on stick too.

Generally speaking though, if you're younger (Smug, KnuckleDu, Wolfkrone, etc), you probably never learned to play on stick because the arcades were dead and you only had Street Fighter on console by then.

I might be wrong but I think Snake Eyez came up on HDR on cosole.
