Arcade Stick General

>>324120440
Yes you fucked up, you should have got one for PS4/PS3.
Also why the 200$ ? It's way cheaper to get a moddable one then mod it with sanwa/seimitsu pieces, whatever floats your boat.

>>324121010
>you should have got one for PS4/PS3

im gonna use it on PC, so why? and the new PS3/4 version of TES+ is more expensive.

>>324121293
If you plan on doing some tournaments, a stick compatible with PS4 would have been better. Both work on PC too

>>324121472
>If you plan on doing some tournaments
nah i dont.

>>324120440
Yeah you fucked up.

This is what I'm using for SFV on PC
Got 2 of these (1 for 360 and 1 for PS3) for 30$ each. Planing on changing the art, but I'm not sure on what.

Is it possible to get a nice arcade stick of fighting pad for less than $25?

I want one for Street Fighter 5

>>324121817
Did you just change the bat to a balltop or switch out the lever? Was thinking of picking one up but I don'tknow how easy they are to mod although I bet they go fast with those LEDs.

>>324121935
You can't even get a fucking controller of any console for $25

Going to get this. Did Madcatz say you could swap parts on it? I hope the buttons are not soldered on the board like the cheap Horis.

>>324121935
I've seen the HORI Fighting Edge go as low as 30$ on Amazon and that's probably as good a pad as you're gonna get.

Thx anon.
>Do you have much experience with arcade sticks?
No.
>Are you planning to mod it?
Not now, maybe in the future.
>Are you going to use it for other games?
Yes, MKX especially.

>>324122095
Don't get this, it's way too small to be comfy enough.
If you're worried about budget, then the best budget stick you can get is the Qanba Q1, for about 80$, and it is easily moddable if you don't like the parts (which are still good on their own)

>>>/vg/

>>324122109
It's not a converter. It's a PCB. There are converters but they add ~1 frame of delay.

>>324122096
http://www.play-asia.com/fighting-commander-for-playstation-4-playstation-3/13/709efx

I'm planning on getting this one.

>>324122025
I switched just the bat top to a balltop, changed the button on the bottom left, and added a Octagonal Restrictor Gate.
Its really easy to mod, but the only downside is the LEDs are on the buttons, so you when you switch them out, you lose the LED

>>324122305
Silly me. That's the one I meant.
Switched up the names.
But yeah that one's good from what I heard.

What's the best place to buy sticks in Europe?
Been wanting one for quite a while now

>>324122957

should i buy this to replace the qanba q1 joystick? The stick it comes with is garbage

>>324123119

Get a seimitsu ls 32.

>>324123119
How is it garbage ?

>>324123158
sure, provided it fits and the q1 is easy to open and mod. get a kowal 1mm oversize actuator too while you're at it. thing's great.

>>324123105
PS4/PC

>>324123271
Well it was fine at first but now after 3 months its worn out.

It's not really bad, right? I mean since I'm not pro I don't notice any possible millisecond delay and it wouldn't matter to me anyways?

>>324123403
Because it's tighter and has less throw distance.

>>324123434
It's just retards. Momochi and Sako both play on the same PCB/stick.

>tfw no online shops like focus attack in europe

>>324123557
There's one in France that I can't remember the name of. It would still be cheaper to just order from akishop anyways.

>>324123342
do you know what gate it comes with?

>>324121935
that one shitty fucked tiny blazblue fightstick that was bundled with the game, second hand, if that

>>324123780
You can buy an octagonal insert for like 95 cents while you're picking up the lever. It should come with a square gate, which is standard stock for pretty much all stick types.

The LS-32 that anon was talking about has levered microswitches, which some people prefer, and which are great for sticks which are going to be used for things other than fighters. An oversized actuator for a JLF will also shorten the throw. Levered Hayabusa is my favorite, although I don't have much experience with Seimitsu myself.

>>324123780
comes with a square gate. can be set from 8-way (default) to 4-way operation by turning the inner restrictor.

>>324123342
>sure, provided it fits and the q1 is easy to open and mod
to be clear here, the "and the q1 is easy to open and mod" is part of the IF condition. I do NOT know whether or not it actually is easily done. my q4 raf certainly was.

>>324124271
its easy

>>324124424
then i stand by my advice to also get the oversized actuator. it's sweet.

>>324124575
This.

It's a dirt cheap easy mod and it's totally worth it, especially with a heavier spring.

>>324124815
nah, i got the spring too. didn't like it. but the stock one back in, just the actuator for me. i feel the heavier spring slows you down. maybe great for shmups and platformers but not for fighting. i mean, get one too like me. it's cheap. if you don't like, put the old one back in.

>>324124980
The 2 lb is a bit heavy I agree, but Paradise Arcade Shop sells a 1.5 that's just a little stiffer than stock.

>>324125208
Yeah, just had a look at my purchase history. I have the 2 lb one from FA. Not for me. Maybe I'll try the other one some day.

>>324122095
>only six buttons

Just why? Don't disrespect yourself like this, bro. You're better than that.

>>324127023
SF only needs 6 buttons

How the fuck do they expect new people to get into SF5 when a good PS4 compatible fightstick + SF5 + season pass costs $300+

Does anyone know if PS3 sticks work on PS4?

>>324127383
By not expecting new players rush in getting sticks from day 1.

What's the point of buying a $200 stick as opposed to buying an easily modifiable $80 one and then swapping in sanwa parts?

That's a legit question.

>>324127383
>buying the season pass
>buying a stick day 1 when you don't even know how to play fighting games
What the fuck is wrong with you ?

>>324127549
Laziness I guess. Also fear of losing the warranty

>>324127383
Why would you buy the season pass instead of just saving your ingame credit and buying the new characters with autism points?

>>324127549
>>324127589
Also people just plain don't know they can mod their stick with better parts

>>324127549
the q4 raf works on ps3, 360 and pc. it's not cheap but has quality parts, felt on the bottom, turbo and mic jack. good deal for the money. with other sticks, i see your point. and yeah, probably laziness is a part of it.

>>324127383
They aren't marketing sticks to new players. Sticks are most heavily marketed to the unsuspecting players that are just about to leave pure scrub status and think they need it to get better.

Really sticks are mostly for veterans and guys that go to locals/tournaments. Even then most people learn stick just so that they have a common language to play and aren't that guy going, "but I play on pad."

>>324127549
Tools

>>324127762
>he q4 raf works on ps3, 360 and pc.
Is that supposed to be a good point? Cuz pretty much every stick out there does that. Why are you saying you see the point with other sticks only, when the q4 is a perfect example of it?

>>324127872
I was a keyboard fighter and never really could play on pad because having only the thumb to work with all the buttons didn't do it for me. Then I bought a stick and felt all the good keyboard things (mainly the six buttons layout and being stable) without the shitty things (lol no nkro keyboard, also some inputs were just almost impossible without autism).
I just had to adapt to the joystick because I wasn't used to it, but it was fast and now I can say the stick is not just a "look me i'm pro" controller, it's ACTUALLY good.

I bought the HORI Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai for PlayStation 3/4, and it works amazingly. PC compatible too

It doesn't matter what you play on there is no superior controller.

But I will say that arcade sticks feels fucking good.

>>324128059
as far as i remember, when it released that was pretty unique out of the box that it did all 3. since i don't have neither an x1 nor a ps4 i'm still golden.

which other models support the platforms?

>>324128286
>which other models support the platforms?
*same

>all these people bringing up locals/tournaments as a serious argument
Do you people seriously go to those or do you just talk about it on the internet? Because I'm pretty sure if you are not American or Japanese you are not going to find a local scene at all.

>>324128354
I go all the time, I live near the longest running arcade in America, so they do all sorts of fun shit

>>324128091
Snakeyez plays on pad as do a number of pros. It's really just a language and comfort thing.

With the arcade scene dying in Japan and Korea we're probably going to see stick users dry up after SF5. SF6 will be mostly pad players.

I really hope the online leagues don't fuck up locals though. Nothing is better than facing off in person.

what stick should i buy, guys? (for pc)

https://www.gamesmen.com.au/search/sort-by/price/sort-direction/desc?q=stick

>>324128410
That's exactly it, it's just a comfort question. I really can't play fighting games on pad, stick just happened to be the best controller for me.

But I just want to say that 360 characters are better on fightpad, that might be the reason why snake eyez plays on fightpad

>>324128410
>I really hope the online leagues don't fuck up locals though.
Why do you think that is a possibility?

>>324128416

That's on sale right now. If you are not going to be lazy, buy that and mod it with sanwa parts, specially the buttons which are like 2 dollars each.

If you are going to be lazy, then >>324128253 is ok.

>>324128617
Online leagues killed locals for shooters. It has this weird effect of people putting more time into the online league instead of going out and doing locals and regional tournaments.

It probably won't be bad for me because I'm NorCal and we've got such a big scene now but for the guys in places like Texas their tournaments were everything.

Is there anywhere I can order from with free shipping?
Paying $4 shipping for a $3 item at Focusattack is starting to get old.

>>324128754
Well some of us are from fucked up countries with 0 scene. I sure hope online tournaments get big.

VX SA Kai or RAP 4 Kai?
They are both at the same price where I live and everything is pricey anyway so there aren't a lot of reasons to get a Qanba and Sanwa parts.
I've heard the VX SA is something like the best stick ever aside from the looks.

>>324129289
but mine has a bat top and cost $60

>>324122212
>it's way too small to be comfy enough.

Brazil has locals and even a Capcom Pro Tour Major.

He's probably from argentina or columbia. Maybe even venezuela.

So did Capcom ever confirm that SFV was going to support PS3 sticks? It'd be nice to be able to keep using my Q4RAF

>>324129651
>Brazil has locals
Not him, but where did you take that one from?

>>324129701
On PC yes. On PS4 no. Again, only a problem if you plan to go to locals and tournaments since PS4 is the standard hardware.

>>324127549
PS4 sticks re expensive whatever you do so may as well get the nicest one

>>324129701
I wonder how much Mad Catz and Hori are paying Capcom not to offer that option

>>324129860
They said they were "looking into it", and never mentioned it again. They only ever specified that the beta won't be able to use PS3 sticks on PS4.

>>324129860
Last I heard PS3 sticks on PS4 was a possibility. Did Capcom actually come out and say it's not happening?

>>324130127
They haven't commented on it since they mentioned looking into it and no one has gotten them to work on any of the beta clients.

It's most likely up to Sony at this point.

>>324130127
With the beta so far only ps4 sticks have worked and they have a whole deal going with madcatz

A little bit out of topic, but I heard there are cracked torrents of the SFV beta out there. Anyone tried out? It would be nice to at least start getting some practice on training mode before release.

>>324130358
There's no point in practicing. So much shit has changed between each iteration of the beta you're actually hurting yourself by playing right now.

Beta 3 is already super outdated compared to the FANG build from PSX which had significant changes done to characters from Beta 3 and the current build has already had changes from the FANG build.

Waiting for that Ps3/4 Hori Fighting Edge. I love my current one.

>>324131114
This. It makes me laugh we people start screeching "OMG LAURA IS TOO GOOD AND BISON IS TERRIBLE" cause not only do they have no idea what they are on about, so much shit is still being changed in this game

At best if there is a beta before the end of the month that will be pretty close but even then they could tweak stuff with a day 1 patch

>>324131392
Karin was great in beta 2 then they got rid of all her links, resets, and combos.

She's still pretty great but nothing like beta 2.

Is it even possible to get a good fightstick in nz under $200 or should I give up?

>>324131976
Your money is fucked so no.

>>324129361
You won't say the same when you won't even have the space to have both hands on your stick. If you want to get that tiny as fuck stick then go for it, just don't complain after you get it.

Here's a secret.

Move to someplace like Colorado. Good internet, close to a city with really good jobs. Everything is relatively cheap.

Stay away from Texas, Florida, New York, California, and Washington. Everything is inflated in price.

USD is almost the same value as the Euro now and gaining on the sterling.

Do it before the USD gets any more valuable and you're shit out of luck.

I've used an old TE S for several years, but the TE2s are kind of expensive and I'm considering giving Hori a shot when this stick becomes available on Hori USA or Arcadeshock.

What is a good stick that works good on most shit, (PC and ps4 for me) and hasnt shit part in it?.

>>324138130
It's basically the same as the HRAP4 Kai but the 4 Kai has the joystick moved slightly further to the left of the buttons. That's pretty much the only difference to my knowledge.

>>324138798

I see, I wasn't aware of the stick placement difference. I've used sticks with pretty large distance differences, but I'll have to gauge that in my head.

I got a Qanba Q1 and modded it.

Its really easy, no soldering or anything required.

Each button has color coded wires, you just pop the buttons out and put the new ones in and plug in the wires.

Then unscrew the joystick and screw the new one in.

So if you're thinking about saving some money and modding, you should definitely go through with it because it isn't hard at all.

yeah they are really pricey. Well good thing xrd and later sfV are on PC so I can use my old stick for now. 140€ for the Hori stick is alright so maybe I get it next month. Madcatz however is too expensive.

Hori has good parts or do I need to exchange them with sanwa later any ways`?

Yeah I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm using my old stick for the current PC fighters as well. I'm kinda holding out to see if Qanba is going to announce a PS4 stick or not.

Hori's parts are not bad, just different compared to Sanwa's. The Kuro buttons are supposed to have a bit more resistance than Sanwa. Some people like it, but some people end up changing the parts out of them anyway. I tried out an older Hori Edge stick, which I think is the first one of theirs to use Kuro buttons. It wasn't bad, but I felt like it would take a bit of time to adjust to. Probably just depends on the person, if you have an opportunity, see if you can try one out for yourself.

I have this one. It's the pro IV, but it looks a lot like the 5th version.
I like it a lot. The stick is really "clicky". I just regret there's no xbox 360 compatibility because I'd like to participate in local tournaments

When you took it apart was there a screw in the middle where the sticker is (so you had to tear it off to open it)? Also is the default design on the coverplate/plexi itself or can you put your own skin over it?

Why do you guys use inferior controllers?

>>324142586
Yeah, there is a screw on the top middle of the back plate which voids manufacture warranty if broken. But I bought a 3rd party 2 year warranty plan that Amazon offered on it so I wasn't worried about it.
I'm not sure about the design question, I didn't really look at it.

Damn, I would rather not tear that sticker because of my OCD. The product even comes packaged with extra gates and you'd have to open the controller if you wanted to use them.

Why do you even care what others say if you like it? You fucking weebs make me cringe at every post
