A control panel for SF III and T5
seaz:
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
