What arcade stick do you own?

[Gamefan]

Looking to get my first arcade stick in the coming weeks. What do you all recommend? This would be for PS4.

Lots of options out there, and you should start working backwards through this thread. Personally, I love my Jasen's Customs Panzer Fight Stick 3, and Windy Gaming's (cdamn here on the forum) Project: Fierce on Kickstarter looks great too:

It's compatible for PS4/PS3 and PC. Damn, is this the wrong thread?

I liked it - thought it was informative and a good primer for a fighting stick n00b diving in for the first time.

All-in-all I'm very happy with this set-up, and I can now connect these sticks to PSX, PS2, Saturn, Gamecube, OG Xbox, TurboGrafx, NES, SNES, Xbone, X360, PS4, PS3, Wii U and PC.

Holy crapola. I've been living under a fucking rock with my stick hoarding habits. I have a Quanba QRAF Q4. Which i'm going to have to have a go modding...

I also have neo sticks x 2, saturn Virtua (HSS-036) x 2, a weird Hori Arcade VF' for the saturn and some bean sticks... These could all live happily in a cupboard after doing this and save a wodge of space.

Gonna hunt me down some Brooks and parts.

I owned an analogue interactive wooden NEO膝EO stick, but I sold it on eBay because I thought it was overpriced and kind of.... shit

Now I just own those cute "bean" controllers for my AES

The inside probably looked like this, although to a lesser extent. Chris is still training under Drakon as his protege afterall.

honestly that thing looks horrific and awesome at the same time.

First arcade sticks I've ever owned. Both Mad Catz. One is a Street Fighter X Tekken Fightstick Pro, the other is a SFIV Tournament Edition - both for PS3.

The original owner did SFIV competitions all over the place and before he sold them he put brand new parts in: joysticks are Sanwa JLF, and the buttons are Sanwa OBSF. I have no clue if those are good but they're working very well for me.

...now if I could only get the SFIV one working on my Raspberry Pi 3 (seems to be a bitch...had it working for a couple hours then never again which is strange...works fine on my PS3 of course...).

I'm thinking of finally giving Street Fighter V a go, but I can't play Street Fighter with the standard pad. Any advice on a good, but not expensive, stick for the PS4? I've been looking around, but the only ones I seem to find stock of here in the UK are the Mad Catz Alpha and the official Sony stick.

God almighty, I would just toss that in a hot fire and put it out of its misery.

I've been reading threads on other sites about people buying Venom arcade sticks for PS4 and modding them. Seems like they can be modded fairly easily. They only sell them in the UK to begin with, but they look like they sell for $75-$100 on ebay at least, the company's website has a list of UK retailers, if you're interested and don't want to go that route.

Here are some posts about modding them

I have a viewlix for ps4, but I was thinking of customizing one for a two player stick and one for a friend as well.

Don't bother. The game's trash.
Mundane Fighter V where everyone does the same shit and there's no real creativity in playing a character. Plus ambiguous opportunities (unless you've studied frame data), and no real defensive style play. Capcom touted accessibility and honest fighting when they announced V, but the game has turned into 50/50 mixup city and same same combo boredom. SF4 is stil more fun and accessible.

If you want a fun new fighter, play the new Tekken 7. It's a blast. I started playing it yesterday and it's been a hellava lot of fun. Much more than SFV right from the get-go.

These are my sticks i own, i think i have couple others in storage somewhere.


My VLX


This is my main stick i currently use when going to gatherings.

 

[Gamefan]

So is it safe to say that getting a Hori RAP 4 is a good, solid first fightstick?

The cheaper version of the HRAP4 im not too impress with, if you just want one stick upgrade to the VLX. The VLX is the closest thing to playing on an arcade cab. Its heavy though, so if you plan to go to gatherings & tournaments keep that in mind.

Nice sticks chump, I like the 6 button setups. 8 buttons are for the weak.

^ fuck yeeeah, girlfriend. Preach it.

Thanks, I was actually looking at this one. I'm not much of a modder, but I might read up on how it performs out of the box.
