That I got from Kaybee Toys for a few bucks when MVC1 was new.
I only realized what a turd this stick was when I brought a real stick and now I realize that the buttons weren’t stuck because I thought I spilled soda on it. They just plain out where hard. Should of came with a whack a mole bopper to get them to go down.
The Tekken 5 will be my first PS2 stick as I’ve been spoiled rotten by my modded TVC stick. I Plan to turn this into an Arcana Heart Stick but I was just curious if the stock components of the stick are sub par even though it’s a Whore-E?
The stock parts are ok overall. I reduced the throw distance on the stick, and was about to put in a stiffer spring, and I liked it a lot. I disliked the buttons. From what I remember, they are soft but the plunger has to go in further to engage the switch. I barely used the stick while it was stock.
Now that it is all Sanwa, I appreciate its design a lot more. Especially if you’ve been spoiled by your modded TvC, mod your Tekken 5.
It seems like you spent more time telling a story and [details=Spoiler]showing off[/details] then just asking the question, which you probably already answered considering you own the stick + a modded sanwa TvC.
It’s hard to really say. You really have to have owned and played on a Fighterschoice to understand how ANYTHING feels like heaven compared to it. I was just kind of curious about the longevity of the T5 sticks components since I’ll be cracking it open soon to change the art.
So far I really like the stick now that I’ve fully had a chance to play on it. The TVC stick is too small for me and its button layout really hurts my hands so I can’t use it but for so long.
The Tekken5 stick is huge! I wasn’t really expecting that. It feels more natural and I don’t feel like I’m running out of space on it. The one thing I do like about it are the buttons. Although I have the Sanwa’s I like the T5’s better. I’m a weightlifter and my hands are rough. If the buttons are too soft I can’t really register what I press and it throws me off. That was the main reason I got the sanwa stuff for the TvC stick because I was told it would be stiffer. The Madcatz are really really soft though.
