Nucking Futs!
Love me some arcade sticks!
No prob!

If you want a good durable stick, try Madcatz's Tournament Edition.
well that was exactly the one i was lookin into so thank you the decision is probably already made if nobody comes up with the ultimate secret tip.
Depends on your budget & whether you prefer Japanese (Sanwa/Seimitsu), Korean (Crown) or American (Suzo-Happ, iL) components. Then you have to decide between which button layout (Vewlix, Namco Noir, Astro City or straight 6/8 like in most American arcades). If it's possible, I highly recommend trying them out in person if there's a local tournament around you or just take your chances buying outright. Most prefer one of the first three layouts. Also, if you don't plan on going all-out then any of the Hori or Madcatz sticks (preferably with Sanwa or Seimitsu) should be fine (I prefer the former but both are excellent). Later on and/or if you just want top-tier arcade stick now then you can always go the custom route or just get a Hori VLX Diamond but will cost an arm & a leg upfront. Hope that helps!
thank you very much ive decided for the madcatz pro series.
Im getting one, but i didn't realize it had that Hori-type layout. I probably won't use it & end up selling it.After seeing the recent images of the new Injustice PDP stick, what do you guys think?
Can anyone tell or have an idea what type of components are going to be integrated or is it still difficult so make out?
I fear it's going to be knock offs; at this point in 2011, the Mortal Kombat Tournament stick already had hands on reviews but we still don't know what type of dust covers are used on the Injustice model. Warner Bros owns the rights to the product and PDP is just fabricating it for them (probably the reason that PDP has not released any information) but waiting this long is kind of a downer.
I still have my pre-order for the Battle Edition but something keeps telling me to cancel it and just go for the individual IGAU game plus a Madcatz stick with official Sanwa parts.
UsedForGlue any input?
I ended up using it for a few hours wanting to really like it but then decided to sell it since too much work involved (dremeling the bottom of Sanwa buttons to make the OEM LED's fit in there with Sanwa SW-68 microswitches, using spacers to make a JLF fit, adding weights, etc.) to make it a quality top-tier stick (just not motivated enough to do all that easy yet tedious work). A little annoyed (I'm over it, ha!) WB didn't allow PDP to announce (before launch date) exactly what components (manufacturer) would be inside of it but I guess now we all know why though most of us suspected it wouldn't be top-tier components from Sanwa or Seimitsu anyway. Love the semi-grippy rubber texture (spray on?!?) of the case & LED lights...but that was it for this arcade stick. I probably wouldn't pay no more than $75 for it but that's just me. Also wasn't feeling the Namco Noir/Astro City button layout. If you guys/gals don't care about the LED's (vibration option in-game aka damage when you get hit) then for $60 (shipping included for the time being) this is the better option (if you're ok with a Vewlix button layout & a ball-top) since it's less expensive, includes a table mount/clamp, octo/circular gates, button plugs (for the last 2), USB-cable storage compartment & has the same exact components in the Injustice stick minus the LED's:
I'm more annoyed WB/NRS couldn't let Mad Catz handle their stick for IGAU. I love my PDP friends, but....................yea. I had mine sold within 48 hours of official release lol
Yeah, loved both their MK sticks...but the Injustice stick was no bueno! Meh, at least the 2 DLC's both sold for $35+ on eBay, hehe!
Well, they said it's going to be sold separately. I remember seeing it in the brochure included in the game along with a site listing for: www.pdp.com/marvel
Check the trading forums on both here & SRK. You can find decent-to-good deals on used arcade sticks. Based on what I've seen, you can get a top-tier (all Sanwa/Seimitsu components) arcade stick for less than $100 on both forums. Both Madcatz & Hori randomly has sales directly on their websites as well.
