Dude, I can't say about the Hori stick, never used one. But motherfucking damn I missed your avatar
It's $102 on Amazon for those 2 items w/free shipping, so it's not a good deal. The stick is good for the price depending on how hardcore into fighters you are. I have the SCIV version of it and it suits my casual fighting needs fine. Better than a pad regardless.
I have that exact stick, and it serves its purpose. However, think about how your button setup would feel most natural. I have a problem with that particular stick because I'd prefer the buttons to be sloping up and not down-right. Its a good (loud) stick.
you should get it, but for less. I don't see spending that much as a bargain or anything.
Honestly? It aint that good of a stick. However it does its job, and unless you play on a much better stick you wont really notice.
What's up Rick? It's good to see those bouncing boobies again. I'm not a big fan of Fighting Games so I don't have a stick. But what CountingConflict says does make sense. Also I think the one you posted is damn ugly. But that has nothing to do with it.
Funny whenever I show up people still pay attention to my avatar. It's awesome.
I'll check around on Amazon to see if I can find that deal Blasto... thanks for that heads up.
Also, thanks for the advice CountingConflict. I don't know if I want loud exactly. Any way to lessen that on this stick or would I need another?
That stick is okay. Most Japanese sticks are clicky but this one is a bit louder. It's also difficult to mod due to the soldering and small case. I'd recommend going for either a Hori Real Arcade Pro 3, which has a Sanwa JLF stick and Hori buttons, or the Mad Catz FightStick SE which is easily modded with a Sanwa JLF and Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons. You can also look into the Neo Geo 2 stick by Exar. It's available from NCSX for about $90 and is a faithful reproduction of the stick SNK made for the Neo Geo.
your avatar...
fuck
Yeah all Japanese sticks are a bit loud because of the joystick, but this one also has loud buttons. The quietest sticks are the ones that have the bat top joystick that is on most American arcade cabinets. Like I said though.. good for the mooney.
What Nilcam says is true. If you're at all interested in modding the stick down the road, you should make sure the stick you buy doesn't have soldered buttons because you'll have to re-solder them if you ever want to swap the buttons. Do some reading on the Shoryuken Tech Talk Forums, there are a lot of good threads on modding joysticks and creating custom joysticks. It should give you a good idea of what would be best for you.
i got that exact same stick last year for about $20 at gamestop brand new. Its really nice the stick itself is clicky but it doesn't bother me.
@nilcam Can always depend on you for fighting stick advice. Thanks homie.
@daedhead8 I'll have to check that link out.
