Yes, upgrading your dpad will help you handle yourself in fighting games. People say skill is all that matters, but you need good equipment to practice on. Later you might pick up a dualshock and find you're better on it than before.

I've never tried the controller in your post but I do recommend the 8bitdo Pro2. Looks basic but the build quality is great and the dpad performs FG inputs really easily. Having bumpers on the back helps as well.
