VHGS for the 360? Take with a grain of salt. Still, it would be nice as I really don't like the looks of the Hori EX2 (it sucks).

 

Sadly, I've already bought the EX2 stick with intention of modding it, so after spending the money on parts it'll be about the same amount to import the Japanese stick if it happens to basically be a VSHG.

 

I hope the stick they release isn't the same HoriEX2 stick.

 

It's ANOTHER version of the Fighting Stick EX2.

BOO!!!

 

Well... it looks slightly cooler lol. Whack.

 

two thumbs down...

 

Well i just think an american company should just start buying sanwa siemitsu parts(or study them and make a perfect clone like ascii did.) and mass producing sticks they would make a decent profit...

I mean ordering parts to mod a stock stick is expensive and troublesome...not too mention buting the stools needed.


And for custom sticks you will be paying out of thw wazoo(they are some of the best quality though..)

I thougt vshg was a solution to this full sanwa reasonable price..but sega had to bring the game to the 360..

Not that im mangry or anything at the move.


Im proud to say i will just be using the stock stick, I used sanwa but honestly the difference isnt enough to thow off my game.

gawd i hate when i rant.....

 

When I played it at the TGS the stick was soso...I like the ones in the arcade stores more, but don't have much experience with arcade sticks (1 hour game center or so). Unfortunately you couldn't test the online part of the game although the Microsoft guys bragged about it at the Halo 3 presentation, saying it would make it soooo superiour compared to the PS3 version -_-?


And the stick is also quite expensive (about 7k Yen, while you can get the Hori for PS3 for about 4,7k Yen)!
