What were the actual Joysticks for all the metal slug arcade games?

Thanks

From what I've read the Neo-Geo cabinets used Happ's Supers.

Actually they usually had the worst ones, not the Supers but those ones with the smooth shiny shafts.

All Metal Slugs I've seen were Taiwanese bootlegs, so, i guess "SUPER ULTRA RED BALL JOYSTICK GAMING"... J/K... I guess the only real Neo-Geos I've seen had Supers, or Spain style Taiwanese sticks (which is about the same as supers) that ended up in there, so... I dunno...

My NEO-GEO had some ultra crappy generic 8ways. I replced them with Supers and there's about a 10000% improvement in game play. Metal Slug plays great with those sticks.

AFAIK, Metal Slug boards are normally fitted to generic jamma-style cabinets so I don't know if there really is a correct joystick.

I've played Metal Slug in an arcade with a Suzo 500/Omnistick and it felt very responsive.

I'm confused, I thought Metal Slug was a neo-geo mvs cart not a board.

You're probably right.
