I need help getting a stick.

[Waggs313]

Im thinking of getting a stick. What are the good ones? And is therr a sight that has em. Now are therr any that are cheaper but better than more expensive ones. If you could help me out that would be great. and also could you tell em whatthe good/ bad is over using a pad. id still like to use a headset even though im on a stick could i do that?

Here's a few options....

Get a Mas..........Make your own Custom Arcade Stick with Happ Buttons and P360.......Sanwa!

Last I checked Mas was around $100. Custom Arcade Stick dont yourself about $80. And Sanwa you can find for like $75 if you know some people ;)

how much u wanna spend?

[Waggs313]

umm well i have around 120. so what would be the best stick to get with that money?

[Arcas V]

I think the mas stick is you're best option here. But look around to hardware section to make sure, you can find everything you need to know there.

Don't necessarily buy from that site, but get that stick, and mod the buttons and stick (doesn't take too much skill). Works on all systems (although avoid using it on a PS2 as it shorts out the rumble feature, and will stop working), and has a x-box live headset plug.

Or, get the Anniversary Edition stick:

i dont know about the first mod, but I dont see the point of modding the sfac stick. Thats the route I took, but it was only because I didn't have enough money at first. Isn't modding the sfac just as expensive as a mas, if not more? What reasons would someone want a modded sfac over a mas?

I like my Anniversary Stick... its a little big USLESS IF YOLU DONT MOD IT speaking of that thanks Nastradamus for making artwork for me dude :tup:

You could also but a Hori for about $120 or a MAS stick those are the best on the top of my head

I dont want to hijack your thread, but while we are on the subject of which stick to get and customizing and stuff, I have to ask : What are the benefits of using "better" parts. Like why are happ buttons good? Why is a Sanwa stick good? Etc...

that is my stick. It seems decent enough, but I have nothing to compare it to. It was also real cheap so I guess you could use your money on better parts.

:lol: no reasons

[True_Tech]

um its cheaper and you can use a mic with it

hrap 1 and 2 are still left

[BZA]

^ true u can use a mic which is a plus, but its too big and not that much cheaper than a mas once you add in the mod costs, and the joystick you put in is gunna stick out more than it should

p.s. True Tech put ur server back up on IRC, im beggin u :pray:

any opinions on this one?

I'd wait save up like I did and buy one from DreadedFist here on the forums he makes some sick sticks!:wgrin: http://home.comcast.net/~dreadedfist/order.htm

[TheStreetman]

ok if you dont wanna buy a mas stick or get real expensive with a custom stick ( which is the best kind you can get because you decide how it will be ). Then import one from japen like hori real arcade pro or the virtua stick made for the Ps 2. You can find them on lik-sang.com or play-asia.com.

There are a couple of other places too.. like toys n joys.com... just go on google and search it up!!!!

[Fadedsun303]

If you're willing to spend $20($140) more I think you should go with getting a custom stick made from Tha-DarkSide. I got one from him and it's one of the most comfortable sticks I've played on. It's worth it.

I've got 2 modded SFAE sticks. Definitely worth it. The stocks parts suck, though.

[MyNameIsPaullee]

You know if you want, you could get the Tekken 5 stick its actually pretty good and its a Hori I'm using one right now till my custom stick comes...:wgrin:

[Hurricanekick]

I also like the anniversary stick because it is multi port...but i am gonnna invest in a hort 2.0 soon plus the anniversary stick has solderless free replacement so its really easy to do...only took me like an hour or so
