[quote name='ZForce']I added the bat top, Octagonal gate and Sanwa buttons, going with the traditional US Arcade Red/White/Blue design. I like the bat top because it's easier for me to grab and hold (I have big hands) and although the octagonal gate makes the stick feel a bit looser, it still is very precise, and I was able to do 720 motions and Guile's Double Flash kick in training mode without much trouble.[/QUOTE]
I'm glad I'm not the only one with bits of plastic still sticking out under the bolts, waiting till I do my button replacements and custom art to bother taking it apart.
I was going to try octagonal on the HRAP but I'm actually ok with it now that the stick I'm using with square isn't crap like the EX2. Makes it easier to do Cannon Spike motions (F,D,DF) since there's an actual corner and don't go too far around and make a QCF.
Also what the heck why does SF4 use the bumpers in certain menus?!? Certainly can't plug them now.
