To finally be a match against other stick Users i finally bought a Tournament Edition D:
Damn never thought it would be such different feeling but its just great , the speed and sense.
But still its something unsual for me :x , since i played SF4 with my Xbox pad and the Analog Stick on it , its just weird with the stick.
If someone would be so kind to help me out with the button layout i would be grateful.
Especially throws and focus attack are just awful with two buttons :x
I just dont know how to place the Buttons :/
Usually i play with Cammy but also use Sakura sometimes , so if someone could give me some advice how to configure the button positions it would be great.
Thanks in advance D:

Aw
My Chie Stick shall always feel welcome since once you start loving Chie, you don't stop ;D
Simply because 2 buttons for a throw or focus isnt useful in battle.
And since i have to kick out another function for these buttons i wonder which kick/punch i should cut from my layout.
With Cammy you need both punches and throws so its complicated to find a good layout to combinate good.

MarkMan or anyone who might know,
Is there a guide out there for building your own arcade stick, particularly with a wood case? I want to put one together and the only thing I'm not sure of is what thickness wood I should use for the top panel. I know it can't be too thin or I won't be able to mount the stick and it can't be too thick or the stick itself won't be at the right height. Is there a universal thickness people often use when creating their own sticks? Or is there something else I'm not factoring?
Edit: NVM, Slagcoin.com had some good info.

Arcade Stick GAF!
So, a few months ago I picked up two SFIV Fight Sticks with the intention of modding them. For the last few weeks my artsy girlfriend has been working on some custom art for both the arcade sticks, which is what I've brought to show off today! They aren't complete yet as I'm waiting for some buttons, ball tops and octagonal gates to get here from Lizard Lick, but I thought I'd post a picture of the the sticks with the art she did already applied.
The stick she made for me:

The art she did for the arcade stick she uses:
So I was getting sick of Pac Man CE with the 360 controller and remembered I still had sticks in my old Astro City panel. Found the panel, one of the sticks even had a 8-4 way switchable gate! Decided to ghetto up something before making a (relatively) real stick*...and failed on the controller part. Damn covered contacts on the 360 pad, couldn't clean them up enough to get good solder points. Gotta find a later generation one with easier wiring next time.
Anyway here's what I had before throwing the controller PCB away:
And yes it was wireless...other than the 14 wires sticking out the back and onto the controller PCB. 4 directions + ground, start and guide + ground, A + ground and B + ground (later gen controller has a single common ground), and two battery wires. The battery pack is in the bottom pic, held onto the wall by six small loops of scotch tape.
*I'm thinking about chopping the Astro City panel and making a case for it...possibly out of multiple layers of cardboard glued together, just cause I could make it with a knife rather than pulling out the jigsaw and drill...although I'd still need the saw to cut the Astro panel so who knows. I kinda liked the cardboard box after figuring out that I could mount the controller PCB right there.

i got that thing awhile ago on ebay when the game first came out but i see it pop up once in awhile. just search "virtua poster."
on another note i check out this dual mod i did for bistromatchics. first time i ever got to mess with a femme fatale even though the guts are pretty much the same as a vanilla te. sorry for the wack camera phone pics. other camera died on me
i wasn't a fan of the femme fatale but it looks alot nicer in person. the all white body is pretty damn sexy and you don't notice fingerprints unlike the og te art.

You could try ( and fail) to make your TE stick wireless like me
Can someone with wiring experience tell me if I'm on the right track? I basically used quick disconnects from Radio Shack and crimped together wires across the ground side of the buttons and hooked them to the wireless Axis adapter but I can't get it to synch with the PS3.
I haven't wired the home button yet though so perhaps that's the missing step?

I got Katsuhiro Harada to sign my Namco stick while he was in New Zealand watching the 2009 Oceanic Tournament. He's a friendly guy.
Ohh sweet is that one of the sticks you modded from your earlier post?
I sent you a pm ages ago, but any advice for setting up a stick here in nz?
Saw that play asia can do the TE stick for about $280 NZD including shipping.

I got my Marvel vs Capcom TE stick yesterday! Holy shit this is beautiful and the box is beautiful too.

i would imagine you'd need to press the home button for the pad to even turn on but i haven't done a sixaxis mod in awhile. if you should at least try touching a ground to the home screw point on the axisadapter to test.
also wondering what your solution would be to charging the battery or syncing to another ps3 since you would need a cable plugged into the pcb to recognize. basically how are you going to be able to have the cable come out of the case?
Can't really tell cause the pics are tiny...and I don't know about the PS3 controller. According to this page I guess you need some resistors. And going by this pinout diagram (or this one) there's a few different grounds to take into account. Just make sure you connected the right stuff to them.MrMephistoX said:You could try ( and fail) to make your TE stick wireless like me

But yeah wiring up the home button is probably worth a shot for now.
Thanks for the kind words 
Nah, I didn't get around to posting those.
2 Agetec Dreamcast sticks with PS3 Cthulhu boards. Getting 2 green Seimitsu sticks and buttons for these soon, as well as 2 multi console Cthulhu boards on the way.
I'll get a few of Art's Agetec plexi's without the VMU section cutout when they're ready too.

2 iL/Cthulhu PS3 modded Street Fighter Anniversary Edition sticks. The guts are a bit rough but they work well.
and I modded a Namco stick with Sanwa parts and a Cthulhu PS3 board.
Probably worth it. That's still like $210 USD though..

Meh, I might have jumped on the Femme Fatale (360) stick for $50 off...
Anyway, I just ordered the Tekken 6 LE bundle... what do I have to look forward to as far as the stick is concerned? Is it basically a wireless EX2? Is there any lag? I'm guessing it just takes AAs?

Wow that's an awesome deal, thanks MarkMan!
What time does the sale go active today?
:-(
I still need a Marvel stick. That one is really pretty from the photos. Maybe I'll get one in early december after the end-of-the-november stuff is over. I like all the metallic ink that Mad Catz has been using in the Femme, Round 2, and Marvel. Class. Hopefully we see the Tatsunoko sticks soon.
