New to VF5 and EX2 Fighting Stick... Need advice..

This forum seems to be packed with VF5 vets and impressively intelligent gamers, so I apologize if my following questions are a waste of your time... nevertheless, I'll ask... be gentle...

1 - I just purchased the EX2 and I am dumbfounded... do players use all of the available buttons (default setup)?... OR do the experienced players just customize 3 buttons (P,K,G) and focus on their respective combinations??

2 - What fingers are typically used for each button? (...man, that question could be taken the wrong way... but, you know what I mean...)

Well, that's it... I gotta tell ya, transitioning from the D-pad to the arcade stick is more difficult than I thought it would be... it's just not feeling natural yet, but everywhere I read, it seems like the way to go if I want to be decently competitive.

Thanks in advance...

Using 3 buttons is easier than 6(or 8).

... that makes sense... I just didn't know if it was worth using the programmed combo buttons (e.g. P+K+G, K+G, etc.)... thanks for the reply...
