well guys it's time for another one of those questions to see if something is moral, or the lack of it. I recently got a sould calibur 2 joystick for my ps2. But after playing my favorite game capcom vs snk 2 on it for a while I've noticed it lacks the perfection of my american joystick parts. I can't do custom combos like the sakura or bison on that thing. So I'm considering putting in american parts instead. I know it'd kill the resale value but that doesn't bother me. I'm just wondering how limited were these things? I'd feel bad if I freaked a joystick that only released 500 or so.

Seriously.

If I were you I'd consider suicide.

Again, I'm not joking around. Human life is a precious precious thing, but in your case...

Well.

Might as well jump.

yeah, the japanese parts are inferior ports or thier american counterparts. thier joysticks only work for people with small hands. So an american owning one is pointless

Do you realize how much deeper the mounting requirements are for an American (I'm assuming Happs) joystick is? That's why Japanese joysticks can be so damn short, Sanwa sticks are tiny as hell vertically.

Happs on the other hand has a depth of like 3.5" compared to the standard japanese depth of like 1.5". There ain't no way on gods green earth you'd fit one of those in there if you're talking about the Japanese Soul Calibur 2 stick on PS2.

I know that, I was going to shorten the components. It's a bit crazy, but it just might work.

I'm not a little bitch like most of the members here, and if something is suggested it's not always the right idea. Besides I've got more to live for than most of you guys.

btw: why's everyone have to flame my threads all the time (lowlifes). It's not like I go into yours with the same lack of respect

You CAN'T shorten the components! The height is what makes US joysticks feel so much different from the Japanese ones! That's why a Happs Super feels so much "tighter" than a standard Sanwa, the spring is longer and gives you a saller range of motion where the Sanwa sticks motion is limited more by how soon it hits the microswitches, not because of how tight the spring is.

If you can successfully do this I'll send $5 to you via PayPal for pics and how you did it. Right now I'm telling you, it can't be done.

Well I can just taste that 5 dollars right now, I'm off! and by shorten I meant cut, and re-attatch the plastic parts to make them shorter

the problem is the joystick isn't good for the repetitive motion of the sakura or bison custom combos. That's why I need to put in an american one. or buy a new one in a while

Sorry Zorro....I didn't mean to spam your thread I just thought what FeelGood said was funny...

He's great for those quick funny one liners.. tickled

freak the shit out of it

To be honest if it was mine and I wasn't happy with it..I'd either..

Sell it and buy something else..depending on rariety and value.

Modify the crap out of it to get it working,If that's possible.(freak the shit out of it) tickled

Trade it..

Return it..

Save it and buy something else..

It's yours,do what you like with it.. Whatever makes you happy..

If this stick isn't working for you I'd get something else..

Dude its your stick, do whatever the hell you want with it. Its not like this is some ethical decision. I agree with JHendrix in that i don't think it can be done - but i won't give you $5 dollars if you do it.

If i were you i would just buy a stick from somewhere like x-arcade or red octane, or better yet: make a stick yourself. Its lots of fun.

And even you have to admit tsukaesugi's post was funny. Don't lie, you know you laughed.
