Dang. I had a streak of like 15 vs two dudes and my stick's back trigger died mid match. Ended up losing the match because when I switched sides it wouldnt let me move forward or do damn near anything.
These hori's are the fkn worst at times and they really need a upgrade. BADLY even.
apologies to genjiglove/MilkManX/whoever else was playing tonight that I couldn't play with. I'm too popular online
What's the best stick I can get for the 360?

This is the one I'm currently using. I love it!

Is this widely considered to be the best one on the market?
It has a Sanwa JLF and buttons, so the quality is going to be the same as anything else using the same parts. In terms of the feel of the stick and the body design, well, that's really up to a user's preferences. A lot of people do swear by the Mad Catz TEs, and I don't think you can go wrong with one.
I use the Hori EX-SE for 360, which uses a Seimitsu LS-32 and buttons. I feel like the slighter tighter feel and smaller throw work for the way I play better, but once you're dealing with quality Japanese parts, you're getting into very small degrees of ergonomic comfort, etc. Some prefer the wooden bodies, such as those on the AIAB line.
Try as many as you can...but anything using good parts is going to hold up and be a solid performer.
I was in a no stick dilemma for about the first month after moving here. Since bugging my mom to send me my stick hasn't paid off yet, I went out and bought this baby below. Initially I mistakenly thought it was a Virtua Stick High Grade stick. That's not the case, it just comes with a hori made stick and buttons. So I took it to a game store and had it modded, they put in a Sanwa stick and buttons. It's got a little weight to it, so I essentially made my own Virtua Stick High grade. Picture this with all white Sanwa buttons and a white ball top too. I'll take a picture when I have a chance. It ended up costing me around $100 USD (with the buttons/stick and the fee for the installation).
No worries man, we'll get to you some other time.
Who are you maining now? If I remember right you were Bison in vanilla SF4.
I'm playing a shitload of characters.
I really really want to play Guy the most but he has some very bad weaknesses and you basically have to work your ass off for a win sometimes. Plus I do not think he is a very good character to play online because I am missing some dumb simple shit that I am not missing offline.
I guess Bison's still my go-to character when I'm serious though. I'm loving the psycho crusher hitbox and faster c. HP.
I've been using Bison more just because of his second ultra. I still have problems pulling off charge specials/ultras so having double qcf is so much nicer. It comes out really fast too, but I've got to learn to be careful with it. Some people will try to jump away, but I get lucky and cross em' up so it's impossible to block it. But I see it will be useless against dragon punches and Juri's spin wheel. Both of them knocked me out of the air.
I should be on again tonight. I'm shot from working outside all day, so hopefully I can put up a challenge.
