These are the 3 parts I need for this particular stick correct? I am confused by the GT-O/Y/Insert letter here’s. I just need some education as to what parts my stick uses, and what to order as upgrades to make playing a bit easier.
Define need? Do you not like ball tops and square gates? Then that bat top would work fine and the octagon plate from sawna will fit the stick too.
Also you already have a sanwa spring in the stick, no need to get a second one.
I guess another way to say it, is that I am confused as I am not sure what internally inside this arcade stick. Sanwa or JLF parts or what, just need some direction.
The SFxT has all Sanwa parts in it: Sanwa JLF stick, and Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons.
Any quick search could’ve gotten you that information. Hell, not only is the information right on the Amazon.com page that you listed, I’m pretty sure that this info is printed on the box of the joystick itself.
Well I know for first timers all this information is Over welling.
I am not sure how familiar you are with arcade sticks, so I go over the basics.
Your Mad Catz Arcade Stick, your *** MadCatz Street Fighter X Tekken Line Fightstick for the PS3 ***pretty much is ready out of the Box.
And its all Sanwa parts.
I can see why you want a Bat top as many American players grew up with Happs parts and you want to replicate the grip.
I suggest using both the ball and bat top and see which one feels more conformable to you.
Yes you have the right parts you want listed.

[]Using a small flat head carefully pop off the e-clip holding the joystick spring and actuator in place. Don’t lose the e-clip
[]Remove the actuator and swap your springs.
[]put back the actuator and the e-clip
[]Using a flat head screw driver place the blade of the screw driver and while holding to the ball top unscrew the top off

Yeah, thanks for the input guys. I saw it was on the box and what not just it’s a little over-whelming seeing so many JLF AND GT-Y’s and what not you get confused. What would be helpful perhaps is a list of parts for each arcade stick. But you guys are the best, and of course I knew to ask here first thanks to all the streams I watch on twitch.tv fight nights. Thanks again =)
