Originally a stock Real Arcade Pro 2 I got in 2009. Now a multi-system tribute to my favorite character from my favorite FG.

Actually mine is the regular HRAP 3. The T6 edition is my friend’s. I put them close to each other to see the differences.

Wow, @Markman, Hori should tap you to help them open a museum! If you have that many Hori sticks, I’m almost afraid to ask how many MCZ sticks you have, lol!

I have to say that @syn13’s collection is quite impressive! As well!

MarkMan · August 22, 2013, 9:21pm

I have more Hori sticks than anything else, lol. Those are just the ones I have laying out in my living room >.>

Syn13 has an amazing collection. I appreciate anyone that can appreciate variety and arcade sticks <3

My old HRAP3. The first stick I ever modded.

Complete with custom laminated “badge” at the back.

Modded with 6 Seimitsu PS-14-KNs (6 red, 2 white) and a red Seimitsu LB-39 bubble top on the stock JLF.

@d3v - I’m diggin’ that Ibuki logo!

Although I have no Hori stick of my own, I do have to say that a Hori Dead or Alive 4 stick was ALMOST my first fight stick… But then life happened.

Also: The Boxed stuff.

Arcana Heart 2 HRAP2: PCB desoldered and replaced with quick disconnect harness
DeathSmiles IIX HRAP.EX: I love this stick because it’s not a standard Sega cab layout, it actually employs the Namco Noir button layout. Replaced clone buttons with translucent blue buttons.
Mushihime-sama Futari HRAP.EX: One of the first variants I got. I wanted the HRAP.EX-SE but missed out when there was a huge sale back in the day.
Blazblue Continuum Shift HRAP3-SA: It’s a shame that I couldn’t get my hands on the Arcana Heart 3 red HRAP.V series. I would use this stick but all the V3 series’ stock graphic is very delicate. At the rate that I play SHMUPs and Fighters, the graphics will definitely start rubbing off and bubbling/warping.

A Tekken-themed stick for a change. HRAP3 all seimitsu (LS-56 stick). Not a Print but a etch on a black Plexi.

Wow, @syn13… Somehow, the pic of your personal VLX must not have loaded for me when you originally posted it, but the vinyl work on that is amazing! The best part of it is the transition from color panel to the monochrome trim. Nice work!

HORI_U.S.A.Inc · August 24, 2013, 5:46am

We are overwhelmed by the amount of awesome arcade sticks that you have all uploaded and we are having a hard time choosing which ones to feature each day on our Facebook page! We are truly blessed to have such awesome fans! Thank you all for your continued support!

GeorgeC · August 24, 2013, 5:58am

I’ll get some stuff uploaded this weekend…

I have to unbox a few things and take new photos.
Things… have changed a bit in the past year or two.

@PlayDoh003 Is it deformed? Maybe this is a better view. pardon my room, it was a messy day…
I realized too late that if you use a stick made of metal and paint, the paint will eventually get scuffed or damaged, I added that extra piece of vinyl on to hide the one mark on the right side. I love my VLX and it was ironically my main stick for the longest time for casuals and local tourneys(also out of province/state for one I went to). I have to do the same for my metal VL case which surprisingly weighs as much as my VLX lol.

I also bought my bro a Fighting Stick VX, installed LEDs for him since I already had the stick apart. He loves Marvel so I did a simple Marvel Babies graphic for him lol.

Loving both Hori and Mad Catz stuff, @MarkMan, I love the VS stick but Canada has nothing haha, I want one but I’m always strapped for cash when there’s an awesome deal during tourneys(needs free shipping to your bros up North)!

One of my babies – highly modded Arcana Heart 2 joystick. Kept the original PCB, sold the JLF lever, and threw out the rest. All-Sanwa buttons, LS-40-01 lever with meshball.

My least modded joystick – the HRAP 2 SA, one of Hori’s finest-looking production joysticks. All-original buttons, LS-32-01 lever with shaft cover mod.

My least favorite of the bunch, the HRAP V3 SA. Looks smart in red or green trim but otherwise a bear to mod and create art for. All-Sanwa buttons, black shaft LS-40-01 with red Sanwa “old style” meshball.

One of my favorites and my rarest joystick, the HRAP 3 SE. Original buttons replaced – not a fan of Seimitsu PS-14-G’s. 30mm PS-15’s with SW-68 switches. 24mm Sanwa’s with plungers swapped. Original LS-32-01 with shaft cover mod.

My new favorite Hori joystick, the Hori VLX (PS3) Diamond Exclusive/LE Edition. What a beaut and one of the best-built joysticks out there. LS-32-01 with shaft cover mod. Limited edition Sanwa silver balltop handle.
