Mag-Stik vs U360 - Fighting Games

Pages: << < (2/4) > >>

StriderDSO:

Hey guys, thanks for the info. The only reason I'm still leaning towards the Ultrimarc sticks is because of the ease of changing the setup from 8-way to 4-way. While the majority of games I'll be playing will be 8-way, I don't want any hassle when I switch to 4-way.

I would image that the Ultrimarc sticks must perform just as well as my old Sega Genesis controller for SF2, no? I'm not a competitive player, and just need something that I can play with as well as when I use  Sega controller or an Xbox controller. It doesn't need to be ultra responsive or anything... it just can't be bad :P

That's what I am mainly wondering, lately. I figure analogue would be 'nice', but am I really going to miss not having it? I'm leaning towards getting the Mag-Stiks, just want to make sure they're not abysmal for fighting games...

If memory serves me correctly, those three other joysticks aren't 4-8 switchable the same as the Ultrimarc's are (as in on-the-fly), right? I'm leaning towards the ultrimarc's as I don't want to have to open the CP to change their operation.

In my experience a jlf with an octagonal restrictor plate works awesome for fighting games and I leave it on there while playing 4 way games without any problems.

StriderDSO:

Can sanwa JLF's be mounted below the panel, or would I have to mount them on top in a slight recess? If from below, can they be mounted without a recess into the wood, or is the stick that comes stock on them not long enough?

The shaft is quite small, meant to be top mounted. You can check out slagcoin for other mounting options. You can get other mounting plates but I just have the standard one and have it routed into the top of my panel

I mounted a JLF under mdf once but I had to recess it about a 1/4". With the JLF, you can switch it to 4-way by removing the restrictor and rotating it. Its not exactly on the fly and it also doesn't handle 4-way as good as the JLW. Also remember that the jlf comes with a smaller than standard mounting plate, though I believe you can get standard adaptor plates for them from Lizard Lick. For a strict 8-way fighter stick, I prefer the Competitions, they're fairly quite and cheap
