2014 Arcade Stick(Non-Custom) of the Year

The one that’s been most gratefully received by me has been the HORI RAP v4, but given that it’s not counted I’ll go for the @"Jasen Hicks"‌’ Panzer Fight Stick - looks great, well designed and built, and an infinity of potential options. Great stuff.

2014 Arcade Stick Mod of the Year

Hmm… Dame memory is failing me at the moment. I’ll get back to you…

2014 Tech Talk Company of the Year

I’ll go for Paradise Arcade Shop again this year - thanks to @armi0024‌ & @SusanInParadise‌.

**2014 Custom Arcade Stick of the Year **

@B15SDM’s Vintage Science Stick. Not sure I should be allowed to vote for this stick, to be honest, probably worthy of disqualification - but it was always gonna be my favourite…

2014 Custom Arcade Stick Maker of the Year

@B15SDM - not just for mine, honest! Seriously though, Sam keeps delivering the goods.

2014 Arcade Stick Modder of the Year

@FrankCastleAZ For combining quality and quantity.

**2014 Tech Talk Member of the Year **

@Darksakul - always ready to lend a hand or slap a fool down, whichever is most appropriate.

**2014 Tech Talk Accessory of the Year **

@Phreakazoid‌’s Crossbone. After what Microsoft tried to pull I’d rather eat my own leg than own an XBOne - but this is clearly a boon for anyone unfortunate enough to want to play Killer Instinct on one. Fine work.

**2014 Tech Talk Rookie of the Year **

@deserada‌ - this one’s a walkover, seemingly!

I thought USB decoder was 2013? If not, that gets my vote for product of the year. Anyone who has used it will understand why.

Also, does PFS not count as a custom case?

44

Thought the Panzer was older as well, I remember when it was called the “TankStick”, in 2013.

45

So I guess that the HRAP.V4 isn’t eligible then. Everyone should change their votes now.

I’ll leave it up to Jasen to clarify the situation with the Panzer.

@Graymalkin‌ I’ll need a link to the B15 Vintage Science stick to check.

46

Panzer 1 was introduced in late 2013 (December) with all the additional layouts and such filtering in during late December and January 14, WideBody was released in 14, Korean Edition in 14. The August - December 2013 was prototyping and testing as I hadn’t really gone into full production yet.

47

@d3v‌ Check Out My New Arcade Stick! (No Image Quoting)

One of my favorites as well.

48

Oh yeah,I had forgotten about that one. Tough call between that and the predator- same madman behind both of them though.

49

Thanks. Adding my vote for that one as well.

50

That’s the one I linked people to in last night’s hangout.

I have like 5 sticks bookmarked I need to go through and make a final decision on. Will update my post with decisions and a few minor changes soon.

51

@d3v‌ The Vintage Science Stick is here - Check Out My New Arcade Stick! (No Image Quoting)

The main reason I wasn’t sure if I should be voting for it is that it’s mine, so I’m clearly biased! :slight_smile:

52

If only it had a Kaimana…

53

2014 Arcade Stick(Non-Custom) of the Year
Hori H RAP V.4 Hayabusa for PS4

2014 Arcade Stick Mod of the Year
AMP Up Customs SE - Finally! A change for the SE!
**
2014 Tech Talk Company of the Year**
AMP Up Customs. @B-boy Tekken has been a real pleasure to work with and has been indispensable for the customs I have been planning. Also, he has worked with Markman to create that controversial custom stick that Tokido used at TGS.

2014 Tech Talk Rookie of the Year
@PresidentCamacho‌

54

As stated, the HRAP.V4 is no longer eligible.

55

Y’know, while most people who are nominated are solid members of this community, it’s too bad that both @agei (with his Heavy Duty stick) and @bazdc2‌ (with his clear-Rose stick) aren’t more of regulars around here. Neither of those two have signed in here in months…

56

I made some changes on my original post-

Mainly giving others credit who deserve. Listing a few 2nd places IMO including @Moonchilde and @PresidentCamacho .

Only award edit was @Undamned USB decoder instead of now 2nd place Crossbone

Also added to beginning of post more details on the possibility of B15 getting award named after him.

57

[s]So esited to see what kind of gifts were made and how they were tailored to different individuals.

Also, don’t look at my card. It’s so bad. You’ll know.[/s]

I’m so tired.

Edit: (Making good of this space)

That being said, I’m making some changes to my nominations.

@Darksakul‌ was a close second for me when it came to Member of the Year, but it is (now) my understanding that Gummo has won everything multiple times, so in retrospect, I would instead like to instead nominate the ever-present and infinitely vigilant sage we know as Darksakul. (infinite love to both of y’all, make no mistake)

Steadfast in my selection of the heavy duty stick for now; definitely needs recognition as a nominee.

The Mayflash MF002 might supersede my choice of the HRAP V, stunningly. I’ll be able to test it (intimately) soon and find out.

Also, I’d like to note that @Epi should have two votes between @manbehindthewires‌ and myself (as custom stick maker of the year).

Editing my original post now…

58

Unacceptable. I may have to retract my vote for Rookie of the Year then.

j/k
:smiley:

Honestly, I’d rather you just post the changes in a new post. Makes it easier for me to track 'em.
