What arcade stick do you use or recommend?

I'm thinking about buying the VF4:evo sticks i think their made by Hori. Anyway, im currently using my SVC:Chaos sticks and their good for 2d fighters but not really for VF. The stick is too stiff for me to do moves like with Akira. So im thinking of buying the VF4:Evo sticks because i read their a lot looser. Can anyone else tell me about the VF4 sticks if they're worth buying specifically for this game? thanx

 

lol me and a couple of friends were actually thinking of trying out the SvC stick to see if we liked it better than the Hori Evo...

IMO the evo sticks are better than the sc2 stick. The sc2 stick has 6 buttons, but you've already got the svc so I would go for an evo stick. The problem I have with the sc2 stick is the actual joystick is TOO loose. A friend of mine actually replaced the joystick on his sc2 stick because it got so loose that the deadzone felt out of whack. The only problem I've ever seen with the evo sticks is that the buttons will wear out after like a 8-12 months if you're hard on them. Overall a great stick though.

Or you can look for the old Namco sticks, the ones with the grey base and yellow buttons. Those things are built to last, I know many people that swear by them. But to get one you'll have to search on ebay because they're long discontinued. There's usually a couple being sold on ebay at any given time, so if you wanted one, it wouldn't be too hard to find.

 

Yeah.. I have the namco stick and have tried the SC2 Hori stick (not alot, but still) and I fancy the namco above all /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif You can spam all you want, nuthin ever happens to it! /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

Avi just replaced the stick in his with a Sanwa copy. It used to be really tight but has loosened up a bit. Still feels kind of wierd to me though. It has just a little too much resistance imo.

 

back in the saturn hey day, Sega released their own stick... i believe it was manufactured by Ascii, and it had their "micro switch" technology that felt more like an actual arcade stick, so it ididn't click when you moved it and had a sculpted handle instead of the ball found on most... any one else remember this?

only reason i ask is because i'd like to get a stick like that, anyone know of any sticks designed similarly?

 

I'm looking for a stick for VF4evo too. The only one sold around town is this one at EBGames:

I don't have a lot of money and need to buy 2 of them. These are only $24.95 apiece. Should I get it or is it worth the price to order something else?

 

I paid about $40 for a hori evo stick when it was first released. Totally worth the money.

$25 is less than what you can find a Hori stick for these days - maybe buy one of those sticks from your link and see if you like it. See if they have a return policy just in case.
