It's true that they only use 4 buttons but either a fightpad or simple training of your left trigger fingers should let you work around that. I don't know how technically demanding Tekken is in terms of inputs, but those players seem to have no problems executing on pad. Not so in Third Strike, you need to just be experienced and look for it the hard I've always found that I'm more accurate with directional inputs on pad and piano button inputs on stick, but I see no reason why it couldn't be the other way around.
Not to mention a simple low forward into super in Third Strike, not only is it really hard, you have to be an expert in hit confirming as well. More inputs doesn't mean it's harder, folks. Two low shorts with Ken into SA3 is harder than doing SRK > FADC > ultra with Ryu, even though an FADC requires more inputs. Third Strike kicks you in the face and makes you relearn the most basic things. That's when you realize how easy it is to pull off ultras and supers in SF4. With practice, it gets easier, but still. I have the same problem when I play that game. I'd like to see Wolfkrone be halfway decent at Third Strike on a pad. Third Strike is a totally different beast.
One of the top SSFIV players in the world Wolfkrone uses a pad, and he uses C.Viper who is easily one of the most execution-heavy characters in the game.That's still SF4, which has ridiculous input leniency. If you're finding that the mushy Xbox controller isn't working, I'd recommend picking up one of the newer controllers with the twisty transforming D-Pad or one of the MadCatz fightpads. It's true that a high level of precision is necessary but you CAN accomplish that with a D-Pad if you work at it. Nah stick isn't necessary, it's all about what you're comfortable with and can execute on.
