Street Fighter III and Arcade Sticks

[Vermy]

So I'm getting my tax back pretty soon, and i want to squander a big wad of cash on a top of the range arcade stick for my PC. I'm using it for Street Fighter III: Third Strike and Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, so i need something with a stick that can quarter and half circle without rattling around like a 90 year old mans wrist. $200 is the maximum of what I'll pay, and these two seem to be at the top of my list.

I want one by the end of the month so i have time to practice at home for Rocky =D


Now, onto SF3. I feel a big "Melee vs Brawl" vibe when the subject is brought up, and i can see why. This is the first SF3 thread in FFFF. Anyhoo, talk, y'all! Mains, colors, location etc. I hear there's a PC version of SF3:3S that allows online play. gimmegimmegimmegimme.

Anyhoo, for those whom i know, i'll add your name and main/s:

I have a Real Arcade Pro 3.

Good to handle, easy to customize.

The TE stick is just as good, alot easier to faceplate because EVERYONE HAS ONE.

They're both good sticks, so you could pick either really.

Why Act Cadenza?

[Red Arremer]

People playing Dudley are badass.

 

[Sieg]

You're all top tier whores.

Put me and my Hugo up.

 

[Vermy]

Sieg:
Dudley is fancy. And punchy. And no ghey charges like Balrog.
Dudley is also only A tier. I also play Urien. And Ryu and Ibuki.
What color?

http://www.zweifuss.com/index.htm pick one from there.

 

[Sieg]

Lol, I meant is as in relation to my character lol.

Dudley still has charges lol, just not super Balrog ones.

Which colour do you think I want?

Pink of course, the manliest colour in there, just like Hugo.

 

[l3oOkeR]

Very i have both of them sticks the exact ones as well =D (plus a Hori PS3 one as well)

And if you want to QCF get the TE stick. Both have a Square gate in them which sucks *** for QCF, but the TE stick is so much easier to get into and swap the gate over with a Octo gate.

this is the main reason i posted the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3. I work at a video game arcade, and have access to free/cheap legit Sanwa parts. Can you say "win"? =p

Sieg, have you added. Where you from buddeh?

yeah but the Hori real Arcade Pro 3 still has a square gate and is ALOT harder to get into to change the gate over. If you want to mod your stick buy the TE stick

BTW i use Yun and Akuma

 

[Vermy]

Technicians at my work could probably do it for me if need be. But if i lose the bid for the Hori, i'm definitely getting the TE. Its so pretty *_*

 

[l3oOkeR]

if you do get the TE stick then check out this thread

[Vermy]

oh hells yeah. Dudley stick ftw.

 

[Sieg]

Ty man.

I'm from QLD lol, but I'll see you guys at Melbourne for Rocky.

 

[Vermy]

whoo! Rocky hype! Entering SF3 and Melty?

 

[l3oOkeR]

Im entering Sf3 (prob do **** its my least skilled of the SF series) SF4 and hopefully some MvC2

 

[Vermy]

I'd enter MvC2, but i have no means of playing it. Its rare at arcades nowadays. =/
Plus i played Strider, Dhalsim and Ken. No God tier = fail. I just couldn't get used to Sentinel, Storm, Magneto or Cable.

 

[l3oOkeR]

Sentinel, Hulk, Juggernaut for me
Or
Juggernaut, Tron, Dr Doom
Or
Sentinel, Ironman, Cable
Or
Ironman, Cyclops, Doom/Cable

 

[Vermy]

Anyone aware of a way for me to play MvC2 on my pc?

Dreamcast Emulator probably is the best bet

 

[Vermy]

i've tried Chankast and have the MvC2 cdi file and daemon running, but its all chunky and you can't see sh*t properly. =/
