Hi everyone, first I must say that I have read a lot of threads about the available fightsticks for the 360. I do feel my case is special so I created my own thread.
I live in South Korea, if you dont know finding imported items are hard to find. I have been to the only place in Seoul, that would sell fighsticks. My only option right now is the Hori Blazblue fighstick. They want about $120 (currency exchange estimate). I dont know anything about fighsticks, as Street Fighter IV has been the only fighting game I have enjoyed enough to really get competitive with it. I am currently playing on a regular 360 controller. I can do cool combos maybe once, but its seems everyone has the ridiculous timing down exact everytime. This could be just because they have been playing a lot longer, or they have fightsticks or whatever.
I read the reviews of the fightstick in question, and it raises some concerns for me. a 6 button layout seems kind of lackluster for me. and it seems like people just mod this thing anyway.
I can order the sf4 te fightstick from ebay but the price would be something to really consider. I cant get it here cheaper than $200. the TE everyone loves and it has cool parts or whatever and i dont need to mod it. Im the kind of guy that doesnt like having cheap shit.
Will I never know the difference and because its my first fightstick, I will be fine with a 6button 360 blazblue fightstick? some say yes, some say get the TE if you can. Is the TE worth the $200 I need to spend to get it here?
ps. do you play with the fightstick on a table or in your lap? (not your personal fightstick)
