Title: name that joystick
Post by: dev on March 16, 2002, 03:25:28 pm

I play the newer fighters like tekhen 4 as well as Capcom vs. SNK 2 and like the joysticks. Which of the happ products are used mostly in these machines, the ultimate or the competition.

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I believe it is the Happ 49 way joystick. It is much more precision and used on games like NFL Blitz. But if anything, I'm guessing the competition.

Usually most arcades use Ultimates, you can tell by the more shiny stick.  If it was a new super joystick, it'd have ridges, and if it was a competition, the corners would be VERY easy to tell.  I think the Tekken 4 machines use competitions though, and the CvS2 and other capcom machines use Ultimates.  I know for sure they don't use 49-ways because those are for games that require that type of detection, and I don't know of one arcade machine that comes stock with perfect 360s.  Once I played a MvC2 machine that had a comptition joystick in it, and the super-moves were hellza hard to do after air combos.
 -Conclusion:  Namco games usually use Competitions, Capcom games usually use Ultimates.  I wish they'd use Supers though, cause I've played a few capcom machines that had their joysticks changed to supers, felt helllla good.

Perfect 360s should be used for Capcom games.
