While this one is sure to have plenty of entries, I really think this will end up being a race to see which stick is number 2. (Note: I still am not sure if there will be a separate award for the ‘WTF DID YOU MOD!?!’ objects like the frankenpads or the hacked SNES pad, If there isn’t a new award, I’ll add them here
Here are the submissions so far. Feel free to add on:
what inspired me to even attempt custom fightsticks. in no particular order but imo some of their BEST pieces in 2010 B15SDM"new and improved custon stick"
This is just for this year right cause I though i saw the punisher stick in 09 I may be mistaken its sweet but I guess I’m OG and its not erg enough for me as a functional stick But I still got love for english with a vote 1+ for Ragna stick its super sexy
**I did a woopse=**I mixed up big pockets and broken english my vote is for Big pockets but he deserves a lifetime achievement award cause all his sticks are Golden, total works of arts I remember his coffee stick and that crazy akuma just…WOW
Yeah Big Pockets kinda floored me with the Ragna stick.
You don’t hear from the guy for a while and BAM! It’s definitely the one stick I show to non-stick people.
I also love how he barely even says anything in his post, just a hand full of awesome HQ pictures.
I think his quote is worthy of some award:
“This stick was primarily made out of breakbeat music and Eight O’clock coffee. When you put those together they form a substance similar to MDF.”-BP
I still need to track doen B.E.'s akuma stick to add to the mix. If anyone else can find it first, please do so.
Art’s cases may very well end up moving to another category (accessory? builder of the year?) but an official determination on exactly where it should count hasn’t been made. I just took what was nominated in the OG thread and posted pics here.
Same reason I haven’t posted the frankenpads, quickshots, lamp360, or b15’s cab yet. There have been suggestions to clarify the scope of ‘custom arcade stick’ so they may end up in their own category. Again, no official ruling just yet. I may add them later today and then edit if we end up with different categories.
And as I said in the first post, methinks this will end up seeing which stick comes in second
Big Pockets’ ragna stick wins absolutely hands down. Br0ken_Engli5h’s punisher skull takes 2nd place for me. I’ll try to take some nice quality up to date photos of the punisher skull stick since it’s got buttons/rj45/usb on the sides now and art inserts in seimitsu buttons on the face.
The punisher stick was definately 2010. Also, the coffee stick was made by TMO for big pockets in 2009 as part of a stick trade. Big pockets made a carbon fiber stick for TMO, which I’d say was the best stick of 2009.
