I highly doubt that seeing as how they are close to american, and american style sticks suck hard.
Parts are all binary on/off switches. Any version of any joystick/button-based game works with any version of any stick. If you grew up in America, you probably had Happ parts, yes. Good Happ parts. My local gamer store/arcade still has the good Happ in SFA3, MvC2, and KI cabs. But anything that connects two wires together would work. You could have a bunch of switches wired to the board and it would work!
That said, I’d be willing to give old Suzo a try, if it’s close to the glory days of American Arcade parts. I still like a balltop and square gate. But, Happ cherry concaves and a competition joystick bring back some memories.
+1. I can still see the appeal to japanese styled parts, but havnig groen up in the US, nothing feels like a Happ to me. That’s why I have 2 customs, one with all the bells and whistles and japanese parts, and one with happ parts I nicknames Ol’ Faithful (Although the button layout is set up like an astro city cab, so it’s a weird hybrid)
Suzo sticks are absolutely NOTHING like Happ sticks. In fact Happs are closer to japanese sticks than Suzo’s, and certainly nothing like the old suzo’s.
I can do the following things with suzo’s that I dont see people consistently do with any other type of stick (not at my arcade anyway):
- dragon or flame kick (with fie-long) through fireballs (I can do this for an entire game without being hit).
- arching hurricane kick over fireballs into Supers.
- consistent walking 720’s as quick as 360’s
and i’ll post video’s to prove this when i get this stick.
I’m talking specifically about the old school suzo’s that used round restrictors and rubber blocks intead of spring to centre the stick, like Korean fanta sticks.
Oh?
So how do you find the Korean sticks?
I know Arcadeshop: Arcadespiele, Automaten & Ersatzteile have stock of some Crown sticks now, and eTokki is pretty quick.
I actually really liked the Myoungshin Fanta when I had it in a stick, very quick smooth feel.
I used to go to an arcade in Victoria train station around 95-2000 then it closed down shortly after then. Also went to one on Oxford Street, Namco’s and Trocadero. I know that I played on all sorts of sticks. Competition is probably the only one I have a vague memory of a label (would a label be on a cab?).
Would those have been used around 95-99 in the UK? That sounds kinda familiar.
suzo’s arent korean sticks, i meant the mechanisms are similar to korean style sticks.
yes, but to my knowledge these sticks were never in arcade cabinets in central london, certainly not trocadero, sega world or goodge street.
If the sticks are as good as you say they are then why is an idiot for not wanting to part w/ them?
Yeah Suzo sticks are definatley used in the Trocadero, they’ve been there since it was a Sega world. I still go to the Trocadero regularly because it’s the only place near me that has a SFIV cabinet(I live in Upminster).
I’m just gonna stop reading your post all together, dumbest thing ive heard in years.
Bullshit from a high caliber, That just means the player is bad and can’t consistently DP, I can 720 on any stick even cheap knockoff sticks has nothing to do with the stick, Has to do with the player you put a bad player on the best stick in the world he’s still gonna fail. That’s at your ‘‘local’’ arcade bad comparison look at some top-fei players, I can walkup 720 on a hori-ex2 and arcade-x, korean knockoffs etc. It’s all about preference, If you can’t DP on a sanwa stick you’re just bad and inconsistent and are not a solid player all around.
This statement just makes me want to insult your intelligence.
i’ve been going to trocadero and goodge on and off for the last 15years possibly even longer. they’ve only had suzo sticks on the Snk vs capcom machine by the bumpy cars, which are still there. Those are the new suzo’s, the suzo’s I want are a slight modification of the old style. I’ll post pictures when i get it.
They have SF4 in goodge street which is a 10minute walk from Troc.
what a fucking dickhead, any idiot can claim to do anything, hence the reason I intend to post videos, which I will. You on the other hand are a fucking troll who cant prove a damn thing he says.
- I’m not a troll, Because i disagree with your pathetic opinions
- I can prove it, Have before it’s nothing new, If you can’t dp consistently on any other stick you can’t dp consistently on ‘‘any’’ stick.
- You haven’t proved yourself and can’t prove a damn thing.
- Ill create a youtube channel just to show you i can consistently dp on various sticks 1 handed aswell
You disagreeing isnt the issue, but the fact that you’re a dickhead is. You havent proved anything before and I know you wont anytime soon so why are you still wasting my fucking time.
Secondly if you’d read through this thread you wouldve noticed my post where I clearly said i’d be willing to send ANYONE this stick if they cover the p&p cost, but your dumb-ass came along making claims you had NO intention of ever proving.
what has dp’ing on various sticks got to do with anything?.. I certainly know you cant and wont do the 3 things I claim I can do, which I even insisted I’ll have video proof of (without even being asked to prove so).
Do us all a favour and fucking kill yourself… thanks.
Yea, Im not being a dickhead you’re just being a irrational moron that can’t handle feedback, I will do it right now actually on live cam for you if you want it so bad to be proven wrong, Im making the videos now on ggpo actually
pardon my interruption but I would love to see a walkup 720 on korean parts.
The freaks really do come out around halloween, lol. You would’ve notice that not everyone agreed with me if you read through the fucking thread.
How about shooting yourself in the head on that live cam. You’ll be doing all of us a favour.
