Title: Ordered Ultimate Joys..should i get a set of Competitions before sale ends?
Post by: jon on March 19, 2003, 02:26:20 am
Well i already ordered a set of Happ Ultimates, and after reading through the many joystick messages...the general consensus is that the Ultimates suck.  So I am thinking about order a set of Happ competitions since they are fairly cheap with the sale and all.  I am posting to see what you guys think.  I will be using the joysticks on my ps2, mainly for arcade fighters like SF2.

gonna send the order in tommorow...i want to get it before the sale ends.

let me know

thanks for all the help

P.S.  Should i get the supers instead?  also i can't afford the  360's

Well.. the Ultimates are about the same as the competitions in that the microswitches don't use those stupid actuator arms (which is good).. but I think the spring is heavier and the stick is a bit shorter..?

So -- in short -- Comps and Ultimates afford roughly the same feel.. so I would just wait and see if you like the Ultimates.. if not, use them long enough to get some Competitions from Bob Roberts instead later!

forget the ultimates, they suck.  Check out the very good joystick review at Oscar Controls: www.oscarcontrols.com

Once you have decided what sticks to go with you can get them cheaper direct from Bob Roberts: www.therealbobroberts.com

Are the competitions on sale? I thought it was just the p360's and the supers.
