I can't play fighters with Happ sticks. I don't pull off the moves consistently. I'm used to Neo stye and Hori square gates, and the Sanwa sticks I bought are a massive improvement for my machine. I went with Sanwa because they have bat tops available, to make this big red look more like original parts.
I'm with you, I actually hate american style joysticks lol. That being said I want this to be close to the original experience so I went with IL. I will give myself a while to adjust and if I just can't then I will drop sanwa's in there, thanks for the tip.
