Why don't I google it myself?  :banghead: Because I am currently in Thailand and their google is retareded. So please guys! If you have any sugguestions on a guide, video or text I don't care please comment below. I really need to start playing on an arcade stick (tekken, street fighter and Mortal combat).

Did you play these in the 90's in a North American arcade? If you did I believe the Happ competitions are what you would likely be used to. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Competitions and Supers were what shipped in most US fighting games. I prefer the supers as they wear better than the comps do.

Okay guys seems like I found a solution. I am going to use this fight stick guide https://gaming2016.com/arcade-stick-2016/ (https://gaming2016.com/arcade-stick-2016/) question is which should I buy? :)

That article won't help you one bit. It is written from the anime wanker japanophile playstation gamer point of view.

Oops, never mind, didn't see you were in Thailand. Unfortunately you have probably never had the opportunity to use a well built arcade stick, anything in that guide will be fine.

A good case is whatever you see that you like.  In fight sticks, Sanwa JLF's are primarily used in fighting games and Seimitsu LS-32's are used for SHMUPS.  There are noticeable differences.  I prefer the LS-32's for their short throw and precise positioning.
Of course nothing (IMHO) beats the OG Wico leaf switch joysticks, but I wouldn't put those in a fight stick.

EDIT:  Forgot how to spell JLF.

But the clicky microswitch variant however might just suit some fighting game players just fine. Provided they like the stick to move in a circle and not a diamond or octagon.

I agree.  One of the reasons why I wouldn't put a Wico in a fightstick.
