I"m looking for a fighting stick that will be the best for pulling off fast combos.
The thing is, I'm not familiar with either sticks. American nor Japanese... So, I can go for either stick and it will be a new experience for me.

What's an octagonal restrictor and how much would it cost me?

Should I just buy the Hori Real Arcade Pro 2? I can get it for $106 shipped...

Thanks

This is an octagonal restrictor:


It clips onto the bottom of the sanwa stick and restricts the joystick's movements into an octagonal pattern instead of a quare one.  It makes doing circular motions easier.  You can get them from Per at www.akihabarashop.com or Rod at http://www.himuragames.com for roughly five dollars.  Of course, shipping and handling will make it more expensive.

The hrap2 is nice.  I just checked, and sadly, only the special edition hraps have sanwa/seimitsu buttons.  But hori's buttons aren't bad.  At least with the hrap2 if you need to change them it's just a matter of ordering some sanwa/seimitsu buttons and swapping the quick disconnects to the new buttons.  The stick IS sanwa, so no problems there.

I ordered a HRAP 2 =D

I'll probably purchase a octagonal plate thing and replace the square one.

I can't wait! Street fighter 3 will be so much more fun. I'm going to destroy this d-pad...

Thanks for your help
