Differences between EX2/DoA4/VF5 stick?

Are there any? I recently found my DoA4 stick, and its actually set me back (execution wise) from where I was at with the pad. Are the other 360 Hori sticks upgrades?

Sorry if my post is redundant.

 

they are all just the ex2, amirite?

 

There all the same just different art/stickers. I heard once that the DOA4 stick was heavier though.

 

Namco/Hori/Agetec - cheap copy of Sanwa sticks and buttons.
Sega use Sanwa for their sticks and cabinets.
It doesn't mean that Sanwa is the best for VF.

 

Define what you mean by "recently". It took me at least a week after I switched from pad to stick to start feeling confident with the stick, and longer until I started getting better with the stick.

And yeah... the standard DOA4 and VF5 are both specially branded EX2s. There's some slight differences in production, that would require taking the stick apart to notice, I believe, but from a use perspective, they're pretty identical.

 

It takes a while to go from the pad to the stick but once you are used to it, the stick is clearly superior.

 

Where is No Va?
