you know I really like american sticks, but only if they are from the 90's, the quality of my favorite stick, the super joystick is garbage now. A nice american stick is totally cool, but you won't be getting one new unless it's a competition stick from IL, and I never liked those.
this cab needed new sticks BAD, and I just won't risk getting garbage from day one parts again. A friend of mine actually ordered a few super joysticks with me for his cab, I installed them for him myself, from the very begining one wouldn't hit one corner and it felt terrible, physically the stick appeared identical to the good one, but we had to bend the lever on one of the switches just to get it to actually hit the corner....it still felt like shit... but it was then playable.
moral of the story, american sticks were good, but I wouldn't buy new ones. Besides, alot of snk fighters were definitely developed with square gate sticks in mind, I can't do andy's shoulder move in FFS in combos at all on the old american sticks, but now hitting the corners is effortless so I can easily combo standing D to shoulder (downback,forward A)
thanks alot for the compliments
