Ball top or X-arcade stlye Joystick?
kalars123:
I'm a bat-top & concave button lover, call it nostalgia from growing up in US arcades, but a ball top and flat top buttons just feel weird, my big American finger's slip off the flat top buttons and my ham hock of a hand just can't get a good hook on the ball tops.

I started with bat tops but now I prefer ball tops.
alfonzotan:
Ball tops for 4-way games, bat tops for 8-way.

Yeah, because there were so many battop sticks back in the day .... ::)
The question I have at this point, is, *if* the serious fighter folk prefer balltops now, who is left that prefers bats ?
Donkbaca:
To piggyback on Cheffo, why did arcades go from balls to bats?
I think most people that prefer bats are the people that grew up with bats and that have never played much on balltops.
