I dont want to get a madcatz te street fighter like everyone else and there mothers, i want to see what is out there first before i join the bandwagon(late bandwagaon).

Any recommendations? I dont want to build one, i have some doubts about getting it off ebay but if someone recommends a link ill be sure to check it out. Dont care much about the price range aslong as its a fully functioning arcade stick that is purposely made for fighting games.

If anybody has any of the following shown here http://store.gameshark.com/searchResults.asp?Action=2&AnswerId=198&SH=QT1maWdodCBwYWRzfkI9ZmlnaHQgcGFkc35EPTI0fkk9UHJpY2V_Sz00fkw9MX5NPTJ_&SI=23991ff2-0ec5-4125-a233-1404ae6650b1

give me your own personal review about it

I wouldn't consider that a infinite since you have to make your opponent bounce of the wall and if you do it on the wrong side of the stage the stage interaction would activate.

The joysticks you need to look out for are the ones made with Sanwa parts. This is the best of the best, if its made of something else, don't bother.

Here are some complete arcade sticks that are compatible with all 3 major gaming outlets (360, PS3, PC) and they're hand made. Unfortunately, you'll have to pre-order them cause they don't drop til January next year.  :(

EDIT: Wow, thats one hell of a Web site S.D. posted! It even has the sticks from Focus Attack on their site! o_O

Also, my main stick is a modded HRAP3 and I freakin' love it.
This.  It's the laziest equivalent of making your own stick and it's solid. You can find them on eBay for pretty cheap(considering the retail cost+parts).  I love mine.

So neither or the sticks I posted are worth it? I've heard some good stuff about the SF one, but i'm not modding anything.

  • I feel used, abused, and I'm not amused.
You should be able to get a TE for less than $150 since MadCatz pretty much runs promotions during every major (SCR is coming soon). I've been using a TE-S for a while now and haven't had any problems so far. They're easy to mod if you ever wish to go there. Another option is the QANBA Q4RAF that comes modded to work on PS3/360/PC. Don't know about any discounts on that one and notice that it has the [START] button close to the buttons. Some people have problems and accidentally press it while playing. There's also the Eightarc sticks that are similar to the QANBA's except it doesn't have the [START] button on the front. You can get those dual-modded as well. There's a bunch of other options like HRAP, VLX, or even the Exchanger that's coming out soon.

  • Die you son of a bitch
as much as you dont want to be like everyone else, the madcatz TE is just a stick that wont give you grief. ITs good for begginners and isnt terribly expensive.

id also suggest the Hori Real Arcade pro VXSA

So I think I'm going for one of the sticks in the link s.d posted. Any thoughts? The only thing that bugs me is that there is no fast shipping and I'm gonna have to wait till January 10th

I've been curious about Qanba myself, but from what I hear they're good. I love that case.

I don't like the layout of those buttons it might just be me. Now i think about it i never did like the lay out of those buttons...I stick with my modded HRAP3. To me sticks work better when you mod them yourself something about knowing you did a good job.

I will admit, you can't use that stick for any other game except for Mortal Kombat. Its the only reason I purchased it, and I believe it works better than regular fight stick you would use for Street Fighter, Marvel, Blazblue, etc.

From a small customer standpoint, maybe you're right, but at a grand scale level, UPS rules the industry actually.
