Which happ pushbuttons and joysticks to buy for fighters!?
<< < (4/4)
Knoxximus:
On the P360, isn't there an actuator switch for 4/8 way?  If so, where is it?
jcoleman:
Just got my T-Stick Plus, and the first stick I happened to buy was a Competition.

Summary:  
1) T-Stick Plus has that nifty 4/8-way switch.  (Comp does not)
2) Ball tops are available for the T-Stick.  ("pear" only for Comp)
3) Comps have a longer throw than the T-Stick.  
4) I prefer the stock Comp handle to the stock T-Stick handle.  
5) T-Sticks do not come with Cherry microswitches.  
6) T-Stick switches come standard with 1/4" connections; the Comp has the more common 3/16" connections.  
7) The T-Stick is harder to move than the Comp.

I don't think you can definitively say which is better.  I haven't tried the T-Stick with fighters; I bought it for a classic vertical cab for the ball-top look and 4/8-way functionality.  I'd hoped it would be a good replacement for the 8-way Wico I had in there, but I've found it really only *looks* like the Wico; it definitely doesn't *feel* like the leafstick.

I think I'd prefer the Comp (for fighters) due to the fact that it's closer to the sticks that Capcom put in Street Fighter cabs to begin with.  Can anyone confirm that?  Armadillo, didn't you work there?

Are you guys crazy? I don't know how into fighting games you all are, but it's all I play. Most of us in the chat room that are the fighting game freaks live and die by the supers. I can't imagine playing alot of fighting games with the comps. I think comps are better suited for the 3d fighters, especially soul caliber. But if you're playing capcom and neo-geo fighters, you can't do better than the supers.
