Title: Super v Competition
Post by: Grasshopper on July 16, 2002, 04:05:54 pm

Which is best the Super or Competition joystick?

I know this question has been asked many many times before but most posts say joystick X is best for game Y. I'm wondering which is best as a general purpose joystick.

I am not considering the Ultimate as no one seems to have anything good to say about it.

Thanks in advance

ULTIMATE SUCK. :(

SUPER BEST OVER ALL.

COMP COOL FOR fighting.

IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY THEN PERFECT 360..i have used them..i used to have em..they are the best for anything.because you can use any joystick with that.all you change is the hub.no clicking noise ever.although its kinda expensive.$40 something.

First "There Is No Best Like That!"

You have to look at what you want to do and then find what works best for you.  If you like fighting games, I have heard the competition sticks are better for these than the supers.  The supers are a nice all-purpose type of stick.

Oscar has a good multi page review on each type of happs stick.

supers allow you to spin the joystick smoothly in a circle... great for many games... but sometimes you want to know your going diagonal.

Competitions are great, but square motion.  You can push the joystick diagonally up and fit it into a slot and it wont move.  Great for fighting games, but not nearly as nice for other games.

Ultimates I've never heard a good word about...from someone who has more then one joystick.  I have a few competitions and a few ultimates.   I put the ultimates on player 3 and 4 on my control panels since the kids usually use those.  I think they are cheap competitions.

But these are only the happs models...
