Most games require a 8-way joystick. It is almost the same as the 4-way except it can press 2 directions at once (right & up to get up-right as an example).
: whats best? id think 4 way can do just about what 8 way can do. but are there games that specificaly require 8 way for special moves? Mortal Kombat for example... to do a fatality, is it required to have an 8 way joystick or will a 4 way cut the trick good enough?

: Also, im looking for a joystick that is
: not frozen-meat-stiff but not extreamly loose that you can flick around with your pinky.

: As usual, any ideas?
