Advice on joysticks for 4-player CP

(1/3) > >>

wallyworld:
So, I'm looking to build my first Control Panel, and it's going to be a 4-player one.

J.P. Patches:
I'm doing the same thing.  I've got two P360s for P1 and P2, but for P3 and P4 I've got a couple of Happ Universals from a CP I built a while back.  My control panel is modular, so I'm going to be buying a couple other joysticks, so need to get some other joysticks, so my choices aren't set in stone.

So, how wide are you making your CP?

wallyworld:
Haven't decided on width yet.  I'm trying to really nail down what devices I want first.

Looks like we've made the right decision for players 1 and 2 joysticks.  From everything I've seen the 360s are high quality stuff that folks are real happy with. 

I just can't believe how difficult it is to find an opinion on what's best to use for players 3 and 4.  I've looked all over and I constantly see references for what joysticks are better for fighters, but players 3 and 4 won't be for fighters--just for NBAJam/Simpsons/Sunset Fighters sort of stuff.

Anyone out there willing to share any insight on Super vs. Competition for players 3 and 4?

There are 900 threads on this board on Supers vs Comps and you won't find a general concensus opinion on the topic.

Damn, I only found 800 of them.  Where are those other 100?  ;)

But seriously... in all the threads I've seen, arguments are based on what's best for fighters vs. classics (I'm assuming they're referring to 4-ways when they mention classics), and that the Super is the more flexible solution since it can go either 4-way or 8-way.  None of these arguments applies for me though when it comes down to players 3 and 4.  I did think there'd be some chance for concensus opinion for players 3 and 4 joysticks since those would typically be used for the same style of game--Simpsons, X-Men, NBAJam, etc.

As an FYI to anyone else interested, SlikStik Quad goes for Competitions for all 4 joysticks, although they may have based their decision on price to some extent.

I'd still like to hear from anyone on their decisions/experiences for player 3 and 4 joysticks.
