Best joysticks for Street Fighter 2?
« on: May 08, 2003, 09:36:54 pm »
I've heard that Happ Competitions are the best. Is this true? And if so, is it possible to get a Happ Competition with a button on top?

i've only handled the competition and ultimate from happs. competition is definately better but i think thats already been determined. maybe i'm just not use to the joystick yet, but i do have some trouble doing some back, forward moves. for my next cp, i'm gonna try out the super joysticks.

BEST ?
I used all 4 and p360 is the *best*.
and yes..cant afford p360 THEN comps are great for street fighter games.
I personally like super joystick better because I dont like to "feel" the corners with comp joysticks.
super joysticks are kinda like p360(I said kinda).You still hear the "click" noise but you get used to it anyways so whatever ! .
stay the hell away from ultimate joysticks...suck. :P
super joysticks are kinda of all around for all the games..no wonder why most people use super joystick.  :)

J-Stick otherwise known as Sanwa Japanese ball-top stick.

once you are used to the light spring and the small movement... it's all over... believe me, it is the best.

I'm a pretty die-hard SF player and I personally think Competitions are the best microswitch based sticks. I dislike the lower quality 'toy' feeling of the Ultimates I've used. Supers are okay, though they're a little too chubby and I dislike the thought of the leaf-switches losing accuracy.

As far as the Japanese sticks, sure they're nice and super accurate, but they take some getting used to. As a player who still frequents arcades and local tournaments playing on an unstandard stick is not really an option.

Has to be the J-stick. As armad said it has a very small travel so you have to be very precise but that's the way if you want to get good at any fighter.

I agree with SNAAKE.  I like the P360s and Supers best.  I like the round feel.

As for the Sanwas... I did build a control panel with that stick just so I could play in a Jap arcade near by.

There are still more American arcade machines around me and it's hard switching back and fourth because the length of the throw is so different.
