Best joysticks for Robotron style games?

The problem with Comps is that they are too prone to STAYING in those corners.
You need to be able to spray your shots when moving diagonally, not just shoot diagonally.

With the Wicos, your shots will shoot some forward, some diagonal, some up as you rake back and forth in the corner.
With the Comps, you will get almost ALL your shots diagonally.
They just don't come out off the corners like the Wicos.

I haven't used the P360s (never seeing a need for them, since I have the Wicos), but there is a night/day difference between the Comps and Wicos performance-wise.

Here you go!  Great guy to work with.  Very unique items to keep your stuff looking different from everyone else...

Pretty unhelpful, but here's a semi-related rant...

I've been playing a bit of Robotron / Smash TV / Total Carnage with my J-Stiks lately...the reason being I removed my 7th button (NeoGeo A) as it was getting in the way of my P2 stick for these games.  While I was (& still am) crap at the games I've noticed quite a bit of improvement in not too much play time.

I definately seemed to hit the diagonals too easily on the shoot stick probably due to the light throw of the stick and cack-handed-ness of my right hand.  Now I've got used to it, I'm not so bad (tho I wouldn't post my scores ::) )

I've got several competition sticks and haven't had a problem with them staying in the diagonals.
