Man...i've been trying to stay out of the stick collecting game but its so hard! Also can't compete with MarkMan and Yes Boss! (sent you PM about bat top) ;p
The Tekken 6 stick looks pretty sweet! Might jump on that but the pricing is strange.
Not quite HRAP pricing and not the EX pricing...
BlazBlue sticks not so much...

Pics when you get the hook-up! My harddrive on my Mac died last week so I've not been getting my emails from NCS since my Entourage client is dead. I've no idea if they are going to fill. Looking good though! I didn't really want it that much but now that there is drama around the release I'm excited. :lol
(oh yeah, my arcade monitor arrived today at my Mom's office. Cabinet is starting to come together, slowly!)
Yes Boss! said:
why don't you send them an email and ask? they have always been extremely helpful when I've contacted them. one time I wanted to buy a bunch of plastic DVD-size seal-bags for all my PS2/Gamecube/Xbox/360 games, and couldn't find them anywhere online to buy, but NCS put out an APB on it and ordered some just for me. NCS is a-ok in my book.

Are they really THAT limited ?
Because they are still available at play-asia.
Good thing is - my stick its on its way to me

Oh god...Is BlazeBlue shipping early as well?!? (I would have been all over that PS3 stick if it had quick disconnects).
Mattlikewhoa said:
They don't have the game yet. Probably tomorrow or wednesday. Play-asia usually ships out games a day or two before the official release date.
I went ahead and ordered the BB stick from play-asia along with the Tatsunoko stick (which I've been eyeing for the last week). So if NCS comes through I'll just post that one here or on eBay.

Very nice! But wireless on X360 = Lag.
Also not sure about having so many pictures of dudes on my stick.
Still, nice form factor.

It says $35. I would buy it but i get the feeling they are cheap and will break in maybe more than a month

Still curious if these are going up on Amazon since I've got Prime. I'm not so down with paying CA tax on $300 plus UPS shipping via the Gamestop site.

Those are good little sticks (especially at that price). I used one for over a year and it was as good as new after all that use.

Btw is the PS3 Blazblue stick button QDs or soldered?

Anyone in the UK here that would be interested in a Mad Catz SE stick fully modded with Sanwa buttons and stick?

WTF @ BlazBlue stick, why would you not give the official stick the ability to play in the same layout as the Arcade game?
Arcade setup is the same as either top or bottom row of MC SE/TE stick buttons.
Also why does the t6 stick have start/select on the face? I thought the SE/TE sticks were going to start a good trend T_T

Who cares? Start/select on face = fail.

Not exactly the top/bottom row, it actually uses these four:FindMyFarms said:
It's definitely the vewlix/madcatz layout though.

Guys, anyone know if the Blazblue stick is a HRAP, with quick disconnects?
Thanks!
Thanks!

VSHGs are so damn nice <3. I'd probably bite if I didn't already own one.

Don't they have issues with multiple button commands?_dementia said:

It's game-specific to in Tekken 5 DR and T5DR:O for PSN.biggkidd32 said:
TAP and lariats in HDR (classic mode), Akuma's hidden super in 3S, Ultras in SFIV, etc work perfectly fine.

Maybe that's the official setup, but a lot of the places played it at have 3 in a line with the 4th button on the left down a little. Either way, you're nitpicking and my point still stands.

Which they should be selling for the official stick. You seem to agree with that much; I'm just correcting you on what the official setup actually is.FindMyFarms said:

I dislike them. The two rightmost buttons are plugged on my HRAP.00011000 said:

My buttons became a little loose or sticky a while a go for my 360 Hori, how easy would it be to upgrade/repair them for somebody who doesn't have a clue what they're doing?

Specify what Hori. If it's a Real Arcade Pro EX it's a cinch. If it's a Fighting Stick EX2 it would be a real pain in the butt for someone without soldering experience.Spirit of Jazz said:
Finally finished my DS stick after waiting slowly for the parts to arrive. The switching out of the stick was shockingly easy. Anybody who wants to do it to their EX, have no fear. Very simple.
Can anybody tell me what that blue thing on the Seimitsu stick is? Is it something for arcade operators? Doesn't seem to have any function...I don't even know if I put it back on correctly.
It is a mean little stick, now. A shooting machine.

It looks like you can orient it to nullify diagonals for true NSEW 4-way movement for games like Pacman or Tetris if you choose.Yes Boss! said:
Nice work, great color scheme.
