Hi,

I want to build one control panel mainly to play all the Streetfighter 2 games and the neo geo fighter games (king of fighters,s.showdown,garou mark of the wolves etc)


What were the original joysticks used in the arcade machines for all the various Streetfighter 2 games and neo geo fighters?

thanks

SF2 USA  - Ultimate
SF3rd JAP - Seimitsu LS32
Midway (K!, MK) - Competion
SNK JAP - Seimitsu LS40

With so many Street Fighter machines being conversions, you also got a very large number of machines with other sticks on them.  In the US, mostly Happ Competitions and Happ Supers, in addition to the Happ Ultimates Kowal mentioned.

Capcom needed a new joystick for street fighter 2 when it was first coming out. Capcom went to Happ and they designed the competition joystick specifically for street fighter 2. I got this information directly from Happ  Controls but who knows, they might have just been trying to make a sale. Remember when SF2 first came out on SNES and capcom issued the official SF2 arcade control for the snes, it was called the "competition stick", I bought it when it came out back in the 90s and it contained a Happ competition joystick, i don't think this was a coincidence.

Competion is product iL . Happ designed Ultimate joystick for SF2 (and therefore this joystick is crap :) )
