Hi everyone,ben reading alot here and i can say it's a very cool/nice site!
My question is the next one,I'm building my first mame cabinet,and i was wondering,what is the BEST joystick for Street Fighter games ? I bought a Mag-Stik from ultimarc (to give me an idea)
and to know where to drill the hole on my CP,but it's kind of weird,and it's pretty short if i can say it that way,I add to root my 3/4mdf and it still not enough  ??? .......
GregD:
That is really personal preference.  Most of the world class fighter players prefer the Japanese sticks like Sanwa and Seimitsu.  Americans seem to prefer bat tops like Happ Competitions or Il Eurostiks.  There are so many choices and it isn't like you can go to a store to try them out so you sort have to take a chance.  If youbare strictly going fighting games then I would say go with the Japanese sticks.  They come with different shaft lengths.  Look at the Sanwa JLW.

Like GregD said, it is a preference thing but I like the Happ / IL Competition sticks for fighters like that. They're 8-way only, not too clicky and they're cheap. The Happ Supers are also decent for those fighters, I believe the Supers are what would typically be in a street fighter back in the day.

The mag-stik has a short throw and if you are bottom mounting, it will seem like a really short stick.  I am not a hardcore fighter person and play a lot of variety so I went with the mag-stik plus and top mounted.  I like it a lot.  That being said, if you like the overall feel of the mag-stik, you can purchase a longer shaft.
