my budget is $102(planning to get SFIV so there goes some of that)
I have one of these I used for about a month. I’ll sell it to you for 40$ Shipped if you are interested.
Still have the Original box and everything.
It’s a decent stick, it’s nowhere near as good as a Hrap or a custom, but it served it’s purpose until I completed my custom stick.
If it’s your first stick, it’s a good way to start. But in the long run, I’d save up and invest on a custom or HRAP3-like stick for the quality of awesome play.
get HRAP3 on Amazon, they are 89.99 right now with free super saver shipping, you wont regret it, you can always play SF IV with a friend till you get to get it.
Remember, you will get what you pay for.
Exactly.
You might as well save up another $60 and get the SFIV stick next month.
But DO NOT even waste your time and money by getting that POS FS3.
guess my madcatz wireless controller is better then nothing…theres always the fightpad but since that’s not out yet i don’t know how that would be
new hrap2sa’s have been going for $65-100 on ebay from the seller gamezforless. it’ll probably end up going over your budget once a converter is factored in, but you can always try selling/trading stuff in for sf4. i’m not a big fan of trade-ins, but after getting my hrap2sa yesterday, its something i’d consider.
Sorry if this might be hi-jacking your thread Crimson, but I didn’t want to start a new thread and I figure this question could help you out too.
I’m pretty torn as to what I’m going to do right now. I’m new to the fighting scene, though I fell in love with SF2 on the Genesis way back when. I want to get an arcade stick for SFIV and for SSF2THDR, but I’m lost as to what I want to do.
I’m leaning towards picking up the normal edition FightStick along with SF4. The only thing about it is, I’m worried about the quality, as it’s not going to be the authentic parts like the T.E. In the FAQ thread for the new sticks, it mentions that the parts should be easily swap-able though, so maybe if I don’t like them, I could swap them out.
I’ve read a lot of flack about the Fighting Stick 3, so I’m basically ruling that option out. The HRAP3 is $90, and I’m not going to be gaming on the PS2, so right now it looks like it’s between the HRAP3 and the regular FightStick.
Any insight to suggest one over the other (preferably why the HRAP3 is worth the extra $20 over the FightStick) would be great, or even another suggestion. I’m not going to go all out and spend a lot on this, as I’m not a competitive player, but I don’t want a garbage stick to play with.
I’d say go for the HRAP3 it’s easily moddable with sanwa buttons and it already comes with a JLF stick where as the regular comes with neither.
^ second that, and even better if your not all that hardcore, hori buttons are good so you are not really investing more, because on the SF IV stick at least you will be buying the stick Sanwa/Seimitsu and that 25+shipping from lizardlick or akihabarashop, so HRAP3 is your better choice.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Looks like I’ll be saving up to grab an HRAP3 along with SF4!
