looking for a decent arcade stick...

[Aaelon]

Bought quite a few arcade sticks in my time but not come across that does an arcade machine justice. Anyone come across a decent one? need one for my street fighter 4 game Oh for the Xbox 360 by the way.

didnt they bundle a stick with this game for a time a year or so ago?

Sticky Clicky

I've got that one in Legs link on the way with the game. There is a TE version of the stick but its �150 and pretty hard to find at the moment.

There have been some reports of QA problems with the sticks failing but not sure how widespread it is.

I'm planning on upgrading the buttons and stick on the normal version for Sanwa parts.

Mostly great reviews of the game as well so really looking forward to it. Its supposed to sit somewhere between SSFII and 3S (favouring SSFII).

Have you got your arcade stick yet tree? just wondering what it was like.
If anyone sees the 70-80 quid one can they please link it here,theyre like rocking horse poop at the moment.Also can i use an american/japan stick with my uk xbox 360?

biding on a hori ex2 at the moment, anyone got an experience with those too?

so many questions so little knowledge.

The Hori's are great mate, you'll have no problems with that.

Only used the stick a bit so far and not so keen on the buttons. Feel a bit sticky. Will swap for Sanwa ones soon. Stick seems good and its very well built overall. Lovely art on the top.

I was a bit disappointed with the game at first but after finding a new character I like and going through the trials its all getting a lot better. Looks really lovely.

<pokes head in>

The Madcatz sticks are going for silly prices on Ebay, but according to their US site, they're continuing to produce both SE and TE versions of the stick. There should be a fresh batch coming through in March.

<fingers crossed>
