screw that, build your own with better quality buttons and stick.

seems they woudl be super easy to make.. just rip apart a typical gamepad, purchase the buttons *ive seeen em at my local electronic parts store*, and solder wires to the gamepad buttons.

[DUFFM4N]

that last custom is pretty sick with the "bubble knob"

[worangejuice]

wow all those sticks are koool,
honestly I myself play better with the controller's

[Otto347]

Those are seriously bad ass looking!

[ManoNegra]

haha, this brings back memories
I built a custom arcade joystick to play Neo Geo fightings games on an emulator
circa 1998.
wasn't nearly as cool as those but it worked
everything you need to make one is available and not that expensive

is SFIV out already?
(don't keep up with games as much anymore)

[I10cruiser]

thers a classic games store/shop in culver city or near there i forgot exactly where but they buy and sell everything1

[SochBAT]

Same as worange.

Controller works way better for me.

If only there could be a DPad that was comfortable for the arcade sticks.


*sigh*

[Flipzide]

your friend should've reserved it.

people are going crazy on some game forums trying to find sticks.

[CO240]

I went to a GameStop to preorder a copy of SF4... They said they will be selling the SF4 sticks there, so I just preordered that as well. Dude was telling me that the "premium" sticks they are getting have out-sourced buttons from the SF4 arcades in Japan.

Not sure exactly how good they are, but he said they're good.

[worangejuice]

yeah, he's one of the guys on the forums.
I guess he can get one on the 16th of march, but wants to play it the day of the release.
That one in culver, I think is on palms and sepulveda.

[Flipzide]

i wish i could give you posi rep for the sakura avatar, hahahaha.

[duffman1278]

Apparently the new SF IV stick is suppose to be better then then the hori joysticks but seriously its ALOT cheaper and just as good, if not better to buy the stick and buttons separately and make it. I spent 100$ on mine but that'd cause I didn't know how to make one but theirs all kinds of tutorials online. I'm pretty sure they make the ports now for the PS3

[SochBAT]

The hori stick, to me, sucks hard.

Not as tight as the arcades (obviously).

The button's don't feel as touchy.

[WanganRunner]

I can see people wanting this just for the collectibility.

I still have the entire collection of ASCII pads and the huge stick for the PS2 that were done as a special edition a few years back (udon did the artwork, IIRC).

For actually playing though, custom is the way to go.

That Bison one is sick!!!

YEA CAPCOM VS SNK2EO ON THE STICKS IS BAD ASS I LOVE THAT GAME!!!!!!!!

[unfuxwitable]

damn you guys get really into this gaming stuff huh?

[jackjack]

i have the x arcade..........

you can buy adapters for xbox, ps3, etc.

good stuff, and comes with a life time warranty

[0100]

^nice.

You should remove the buttons and sticks and lay down some nice graphics.

[!Zar!]

damn you guys get really into this gaming stuff huh?

It's the mentality of a majority of the people on this forum.

To improve upon what we have available.

So why play on an arcade stick when you can make one that responds/feels better?

Not to mention it isn't as expensive/hard as most would believe.

[Flipzide]

my stick just arrived at my front door.

Honestly Street Fighter Third Strike is keeping me IN college. If it wasn't for that game I'd have no motive to go to class lol and kill time in between classes or relieve some stress before a test.

Man Almost make me want to get one, I paid 100$ for my MAS controller.

I used to have a MAS... i loved it. Had a PS2 and Dreamcast ports.

Lots of third strike and tekken was played on that thing

[mobilesuit818]

I cant wait for sf4 to come out.

[thejapino]

The 360's controller layout sucks for fighting games. I didn't want to spend money to get the fightsticks so I just bought this (PS3 version shown):

The only one left at the local gamestop. At least it wasn't Blanca!

[sirhc]

Nothings wrong with Blanka. lol

[S13_Nightkid]

Nothings wrong with Blanka. lol

Man, the Blanka one would look better IMO. If it was Zangief I'd have to personally come to your house and punch you in the face only because I would get KO'd several times in trying to defeat him.(run-on sentence) lulz

[worangejuice]

It's heeeerrreeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
SF IV that is, saweeetttt

[KwKouki]

getting mine built custom.....oh which reminds me im off to go pick up my copy of SF4

[worangejuice]

Just waiting till tomorrow when I work to pick it up!!!!
Skool day today.....
le sigh
I think I'll pick up a Chun Li or Ryu 360 pad, TIGHT

[ManoNegra]

Reviving this because I broke down
and bought an XBox 360 just for SFIV
and now I can't find a damn stick for it
without getting raped

getting mine built custom.....oh which reminds me im off to go pick up my copy of SF4

did you get it yet? What make/brand?

Anyhow, I dug around my stuff
and found the old box I made a looooong time ago
went to Gamestop and bought their brand wired controller
had my buddy solder the PCB

Unfortunately, it didn't quite work
I can't use any of the 'kick' functions
I can map 'punch' to any button and they work
just no kicking
maybe cheap Gamestop controller? *shrug*
I'ma try to make a nicer one if I can't get my hands on
a MadCatz one at retail price
-juan

[DUFFM4N]

just wait like a week or 2...they're supposed to be releasing more Hori fight sticks

[ManoNegra]

Yeah, that's what I hear
but every time I ask someone at Gamestop
they don't know and won't take pre-orders

[DUFFM4N]

yeah because they only did pre-orders for the special edition ones...they dont do pre-orders for the regular Hori sticks...try calling FYE or Target or Frys or Best Buy...gamestop people are fucking retarded

[ManoNegra]

lol... no kidding
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the tournament stick though...

[DUFFM4N]

be ready to dish out $300-$400 then on eGay

[ManoNegra]

yeah, seen that
there was a guy on craigslist last week selling it for like $250
but I'm hoping MadCatz will release more

[DUFFM4N]

they wont, limited to 3k from what i heard

[jh3xp]

that was a rumour. They made/making more.

[ManoNegra]

I ended up special ordering a Hori one
for like $50
if it comes in great
if not I'll wait for a MadCatz and cancel the Hori

[origin_s135]

yeah...i kind of hate playing on the controller. hopefully my friend will sell me his custom ones, asap.
