Thank you @aszyd for such a good price! Going to swap those buttons and the ball top for royal blue theme.

@rygod

Thatā€™s what I would be exclusively doing, I played with a Hitbox on my lap and Iā€™m going to play the VLX on my lap as well. Itā€™s a big step in width/size though! Thereā€™s a few proā€™s (Arturo/Sabin) that uses a VLX in the tournament setting.

1523

There was one event(I forget which) Arturo said he had back pain the next morning from carrying his VLX around the tournament lol.
Anime player LordKnight and Alex Valle(not sure if itā€™s his or not) used to use them during tournaments too.

@oodk

Wow! Looks great, Iā€™m receiving mines on Thursday (Amazon prime). Canā€™t wait!

1526

@Jannodude you going to love it. When I pick it up from the post office I literally smile while carrying it on the way home. They look way better in person. Picture donā€™t do this fightstick justice

1527

Yeah itā€™s a big stick but when you first see and hold it in person you kind of expected it to be larger itā€™s almost a compact kind of big if that makes sense, probably doesnā€™t but anyway. B)

1528

sticks look awesome. Iā€™m really hoping the red one is still available in June since thatā€™s when Iā€™ll have enough money for it. not holding my breath though.

1529

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the VLX Kuro and VLX Hayabusa?

1530

One uses the Kuro buttons, and the other uses Hayabusa buttons. The hayabusa buttons are shorter, and have a quicker activation point. The busas make it easier to slide your fingers across the buttons without lifting them. Besides color, everything else is pretty much the same.

1531

The VLX Kuro build quality is a bit higherā€¦

1532

So I ended up ordering a VLX Hayabusa from ArcadeShock. Does anyone know how fast they are turning around orders and shipping using the FREE FedEx ground method?

1533

Arcadeshock ship fast. They ship stuff out within 24 hoursā€¦

1534

Is this for real? I would have thought theyā€™d be all the same.

If anything, the Hayabusa should be better since its the newest one.

But since I only have the OG ones, I canā€™t really comment.

1535

Iā€™ve had all versions of the VLX (multiple of a couple models) & some had very minor issues but nothing thatā€™d annoy me. I think itā€™s just hit or miss regardless which version of the VLX you get.

FWIW, Iā€™ve had 1 x RAP3-SA, 1 x RAP3 Amazon Japan exclusive (white), 4 - 5 RAP V3-SA & 1 x RAP4 Kaiā€¦and none of them had issues, LOL!

1536

my experience is that the kuro is just a touch higher quality than the hayabusa. The only thing that differentiates the quality is the paint used on the metal panel. the hayabusa has a slightly lower quality paint

1537

I have the HRAP V Hayabusa, and am looking into the VLX Hayabusa for better quality board. However, I find the wrist resting area (below the joystick) to be quite short, when compared to a TE2.

My question, is the VLX hayabusa and HRAP V hayabusa share the exact same buttons and more importantly, same wrist resting size area under the Joystick? Thanks in advance!

1538

I ordered on a Sunday, had it on Friday. This stick is awesome.

1539

I use it as my main stick, for tournaments and everyday, never hurted me.
But, well, I have to admit that I am manly.

1540

same thing. just different buttons, different color plastic sides and panel artwork color. same pcb too?
