Certain advanced moves are just way easier on a fightstick, and if you get a square gate it can make charge characters WAY easier to play.

For example, a popular Cammy move in SFIV was her Cannon Strike, but there's an advanced form called the "tiger knee cannon strike" or "TKCS" for short. It involved buffering the cannon strike inputs into a jump and then executing the move the instant you are off the ground. If done correctly, she lands right where she is with the move. If you spam the light version of it, it's a great way to build meter if your opponent is turtling since you can rapid fire pull it off.

Normally to Cannon strike you have to do 214+k (or quarter circle back + kick) while jumping forward in the air. So instead you do 2149+k which buffers the attack into a forward jump to make it work. It's possible to do on a controller, but if you have a square gate fightstick getting that 9 off instead of accidentally jumping back or straight up is way, way easier.
