X-Arcade Tank Stick Opinions?
Rulkiewicz:
I'm working on my first cabinet and was planning on getting the x-arcade tank stick. I've heard mixed review regarding fighting games, such as Street Fighter not being accurate due to the touchy joystick. For instance, combo's being harder to pull off on the tankstick as opposed to a Hori stick. Could anyone with the tankstick provide feedback? Thanks!

Depends on your budget, Can you build one yourself or you are buying the entire cabinet. I had a tank stick to start without a cab, shortly after i sold it. Do to compulsive behavior i needed more and the tank stick is just not enough. So I would recommend if you are going to buy one, get a used tank first which are ususlly in great shape, because im sure you'll end up upgrading shortly. In other words the Tank Stick suks compare to the competion.

Had one. I upgraded by building my own panel with U360's.
X-gaming's products are a gateway drug. You'll just want more.

I bought a gutted MK2 cabinet. There is no control panel, so I was thinking to just get the tank stick and build a small shelf for proper height adjustment then have the tank stick sit on that.

Thats fine make sure you buy a used tank stick if you want to get it up and running fast, because youll want to upgrade later especially if you have an MK cab already.
