Joystick & Pushbutton Approval

After looking at some videos and reviews, I've decided to definitely choose the competition over the super.  Now I have to read more about the JLF. Which model of the JLF are you talking about?

Jack Burton:

There's only one version of the JLF.  The only differences you will see online are ones that come with different mounting plates or wiring harnesses.

For your cab you will probably want this one:

It comes with the harness and a flat mounting plate.

A little bit of information about the JLF

-It is the same joystick to be found on official Street Fighter IV cabinets

-It is the same joystick to be found on official Virtua Fighter and Tekken cabinets in Japan and is becoming very popular in the US.

-It is the same joystick to be found in the Madcatz Tournament Edition joysticks.

-It is generally considered to be the #1 competition level joystick for all fighting games.

-It can be switched to 4-way mode by removing the restrictor plate and twisting it into a diamond shape.  This takes about 1 minute if you have access to the interior of the cab.   

The alternative to the JLF is the Seimitsu LS-32.  It is known to be a little tighter and have a shorter throw.  It might also be worth looking into if you want a more retro feel while preserving a great 8-way stick. 

I guarantee that you will be extremely pleased with either stick. 

LiquidFlame:

I'm pretty torn on which joystick to get because I already have the Marvel vs Capcom 2 Tournament Stick for my 360 which I'm pretty sure uses the JLF stick, and I'm not a huge fan of it, mainly because it feels loose to me, I don't know if I'm just used to using a bat style one or if it's just my lack of using good equipment.  I also want to kind of keep the build cheep and then upgrade later if I want, that's why I'm thinking of getting the Happ Competitions instead.  Thanks for the info thought, I really appreciate it.

The U360 is made from a JLW stick.

I own 2 of TT's Ms. Pac joystick replica.  They are great.  Perfect for a 4-way vertical setup on a cocktail.

I have a small review on my youtube account.  Sift through the videos and you'll find it:  www.youtube.com/delusional2971

And you'll also see one installed on my green invader cabinet somewhere in there too.

For future builds:  I'm almost done with my next vertical build and I'll probably go with JLW's.  I want to be able to switch, so that I can play the 4-way classics, but also 8-way for shoot-em-ups.  Not sure if you want to be able to play more modern games on your vertical setup or not.  Just thought I'd throw it out there.
