2014 Arcade Stick(Non-Custom) of the Year - Jasen Hicks’ Panzer FS:

  • Jasen has really met a need in the FGC by providing an excellent looking no-nonsense solution for people who simply want a solid case.

2014 Arcade Stick Mod of the Year - @Melissen-Ghost’s Steampunk MadCatz TE Round 2:

  • I really love what @Melissen-Ghost has done with this one. You can still tell it’s a TE, but it has a great unique look that required more than your standard art/plexi/button/balltop swap.

2014 Tech Talk Company of the Year - Paradise Arcade Shop:

  • These guys ( @armi0024 and @SusanInParadise) not only bust their bums to keep great and new parts available for us nerds, but Bryan designs some great products himself.

2014 Custom Arcade Stick of the Year - @b15sdm’s KTM RC8:

  • As much as B15’s Predator and Science sticks are wondrous, I really like sticks with crazy shapes (less box-like), such as this one or the One Piece stick.

2014 Custom Arcade Stick Maker of the Year - @agei:

  • agei really put himself on the map last year with his “Heart of Glass” stick and has continued to show his unique design & construction with the “Heavy Duty” stick.

2014 Arcade Stick Modder of the Year - @FrankCastleAZ‌:

2014 Tech Talk Member of the Year - @Darksakul:

  • Sure he can be abrasive/opinionated, but there’s no doubt that he has poured himself in to this forum wholeheartedly this year and has tried to make it a more informed and organized place.

2014 Tech Talk Accessory of the Year (PCBs, Parts, Bags, etc.) - @Phreakazoid’s Crossbone:

  • Clayton saw the impending need for next gen multi-mods and came through with a slick solution.

2014 Tech Talk Rookie of the Year - @deserada:

  • Definitely here to not only enjoy the same stuff we enjoy, but to contribute insightful discussion. Also major props for hosting hangouts many times and for many hours.

Wasn’t it the HRAP V.4 that was dq’d, and not the HRAP V (with hayabusa lever, for XBO)?

That aside, I am changing my nomination for non-custom to the Mayflash MF002.

87

Technically the full name is Hori Real Arcade Pro V.隼 (Hayabusa), so I guess @lolmark‌ needs to specify/confirm.

88

Well never specified what exactly, as “HRAP.V” covers the entire line.

89

I have an idea. Why not have…

Best New Arcade Stick Design
Best Arcade Stick (New Release) - This can be an aesthetic/licensed or even new version of an existing prodcut.

It changes the slim pickings and gives us a new path to move down?

IMHO, I thought about it more. It is unfair to all the new products that came out, including the Xbox One Atrox, the HRAP V4, etc.

I’m sure there are a ton I missed. But what does everyone think about this?

92

I agree with Mark, there are some really sweet revisions of existing ideas, and some times better than other new sticks, I would add this category.

93

I like this idea.

Categories update. Send in your votes people.

Mine is the Xrd TE2.

94

Mine is Xrd TE2 as well. Cleanest TE2 yet. Smoke sides so it’s ready for all those fancy LVT3 LED goodies!

95

I vote for GG TE 2

96

Votes counted.

So, no one voting for the HRAP.V4 since it’s eligible once again?

97

2014 Arcade Stick Revision of the Year - HRAP V4. I just like my Hori sticks. They look nice sitting on the shelf collecting dust.
2014 Arcade Stick Mod of the Year - LVT3 TE2 LED Mod by PAS. I cant believe I didn’t think about this at first. It was at EVO for crying out loud!

98

Best Arcade Stick (New Design) - Panzer Fight Stick

Best Arcade Stick (New Release) - HORI RAP v4

99

Added.

100

I’ll stand by my previous vote of the HRAP V.Haya for “New Arcade Stick”.

My vote for “New Arcade Stick (new release/revision)” would be
Mad Catz - Guilty Gear Xrd Arcade FightStick TE2 for PS4/PS3

  • Absolutely sick styling between the art and the choice of colors for the case and buttons.
