If you like Japanese style sticks, the Madcatz Street Fighter IV sticks are great. The Tournament Edition version comes stock with real Sanwa parts. You can also switch to Seimitsu parts later as well. The Standard Edition comes with knockoff parts, but it's built to be modded with Sanwa or Seimitsu parts if you want to go that route.

As far as American style Happ/IL sticks go, you'd either have to go with a custom built stick or Arcade in a Box. If you're handy, you could see if you could find an old Street Fighter Anniversary Stick for the PS2/Xbox and mod it with Happ/IL parts and swap in a hacked Xbox 360 PCB. You could also swap in a hacked Xbox 360 PCB into a MAS stick if you can come around one of those, too.
 
Really mods you moved this back to the 360 forums again. Why do you think this goes there? It covers all arcade sticks not just sticks on the 360. Which one of you rides the short bus, I really want to know.

Judging from what I've been told last time, a topic about sticks in the 360 forum got merged with this topic and it accidentally ended up in here instead of staying in the general gaming forums. A PM to a mod would probably get it moved there again.
 
Any particular reason to desire them over the fairly cheaper TE stick? I'm guessing collectibility or the better compatibility of the PCB with PCs and PS2 games on PS3, huh?
 
I just had a question and i figured id ask here I remember before when sf4 came out we had like a little online tounry here on cag i was wondering if we still had that or if anyone wanted to start one up. Im always looking to play people.

Pretty much all of the above as I purchased one with a box and really needed a better stick to use on ps2 titles. Since it came I find myself using it a lot more then the TE but for the life of me I can't pin down why I like it so much.

I'd definitely be down.
 
I got my Femme Fatale today, it definitely looks cooler in person than you see in pictures. The artwork has a metallic/pearly like finish that is very slick looking.
 
i know this may be a long shot, but does anyone know where i could get an hrap 2 (regular/sa/se) ebay? i don't have a paypal account which is the only form of payment most of the sellers there accept.
 
[quote name='MSUHitman']MarkMan,
How many of the Femme Fatale sticks are left? I don't think they sold out at PAX.[/QUOTE]

Not many left. Capcom will probably sell the remainder of their 50/60ish on their site and our site doesn't have many left at all.

Someone on SRK got #2! (Of the PS3 lot) !
 
[quote name='MarkMan']other than ebay? you can use credit card/debit card with most paypal transactions ya know. go for it![/QUOTE]
really? i thought the buyer had to have a paypal account too, wow do i feel dumb. thanks MarkMan!

Sweet, If you haven't I would seriously contacting the seller before they ship, cause if they really plan on shipping it 1st class for $6.00 , sounds like they don't give a fuck about what condition it arrives to you in.

Make sure to get some insurance and shit like that, only a couple of $'s extra.

Good luck and I think it might be interesting to find out if you receive it in the condition seller ships it in.

Keep us updated

im thinking he doesnt know how to manipulate ebay, he'll probably ship at a loss. anything videogame related ships for less on ebay. oh i better get it in mint condition otherwise they will be hell to pay.
 
[quote name='dizzlle01']Anyone know how u can tell if you got the S revision for the virtua stick high grade?[/QUOTE]

You should see an S on the back by the label
 
Just picked up a Madcatz SFIV fightstick from buy.com for $43 shipped. Gonna see if i like it better than my Hori Ex2 (hopefully i will) then i may ebay the hori.

I got 312 I think. It's the number on the bottom of the stick right?

Love the stick so far. My g/f and I have been testing it out on SFIV for the past hour or so.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']The SFIV Fightstick is better than the EX2, even stock. Sell that EX2 and use the money to mod up that Fightstick.[/QUOTE]

Yeah that's the plan. Heard it's a pretty easy mod, which is nice.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']http://sdtekken.com/2009/09/11/new-tekken-6-hori-real-arcade-pro-sticks-unveiled/[/QUOTE]

I just like everyone else am looking forward to MarkMan's opinion on this. Shall I proceed with the cancellation of my current Tekken Bundle?

In the end Hori + game costs more, but if the quality is better, we gotta do what we gotta do. I wasn't too very keen on the Bundles shape of the stick. Only picture I've seen doesn't show off any curves.

Can we expect this new Tekken stick to have all Sanwa parts? For the price I have to assume so, but they could just be charging the extra premium on the price due to the art.

Wired or wireless , I personally don't care as long as I'm in the game.

Yah me too im looking forward that they will make it just stick and four buttons,

Just like they did to Marvel Vs Capcom 2 though theres still six u can perform 1 hero combo using 4 buttons.
 
NegativeZero, the sticks that the T6 sticks are based on do not use Sanwa parts. Its just more rebranding from Hori. I would just cancel the Tekken bundle and buy a Madcatz SE (and mod it later if you feel its worth it) or a TE. There is no way, based on what the game costs and what Hori charges for stick, that the T6 bundle stick will be any good.
 
Hey Jest, thank you for the reply.

I assume that you're saying this stick is just a re-branded hori. If so this is a much better bet and price.
There is this one that looks like it may use Sanwa parts. So I may go for that.

My main concern is I'd like to have something to use for PS2 games. HRAP2 are priced crazy or else I'd be aiming for one of those + an adapter so i could use it on both PS2 and PS3.
 
The stick in the Tekken bundle will be wireless though. As long as it's easy to mod (which you never know with Hori but is generally unlikely), it's a good option for a wireless stick. And no, wireless is not inferior to wired these days, so nobody say that.
 
Yes, the -SA does have Sanwa parts. I was saying the Hori Tekken 6 stick for PS3 is a rebranded HRAP3, therefore no Sanwa.
 
[quote name='NegativeZero']hmmm, all of this makes me wonder. I doubt it's possible but is there possibly an adapter to use a HRAP3 on the PS2?[/QUOTE]

'fraid not
 
Do any of you FGT regulars know where I could score a Virtua Stick Pro for the Saturn? It's the two player stick modeled after the Astro City arcade units. I've been looking all over the place, but I can't seem to get a lead!

Any help would be appreciated.
 
PS3 TE modding complete! Got the image printed off MamesMarquees and like usual it's very high quality and looks better in person!
