IMO weazzey.  Get this one instead:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-2xsu.html

Cost you less, and they are just as good for playing on.  The only reason I would go for a TE over this is soley because they are easier to mod.  So if you dont care about modding too much... Just go the HRAP3.

Then spend 30 bucks and get six sanwa buttons and come see me and I'll throw them in for you.

Honestly, I think an HRAP is better than a TE for all the reasons that Leo said and I find them a little heavier which is good. I'm sure you don't really give a shit about modding, so save yourself the extra $100 or so dollars and get an HRAP. You could use the left over money to get BB and Mahvell!

Is the white HRAP on playasia the one with Sanwa parts?
my mum found dark dawn on the DS.

that game is gonna get raped.

Yeah get the HRAP and get Blazblue and Marvel lol!

Fair enough though.  Do what you gotta do.

Get in touch with Firstgames.co.nz if you are having trouble finding a TE.  THey might be able to source you one.

HRAP from firstgames.co.nz for $250 remember... guess it depends how much shipping is though (~$90?)

after trying a TE at Lenny's I have to agree the HRAP3 just feels nicer IMO.
I was all set to get a TE as a 2nd stick luckily Toomeke talked me out of it before I had tried one.

TE is a great stick but I find HRAP3 a smidge better.
If you do want to get a TE - I think direct from Capcom looks like the best option (certainly popular round here).

Also the TE has problems with some USB controllers on the PC - which you can overcome by sticking in a new USB card. No problems with HRAP that I am aware of.


Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?

TBH on sunday when I was playing on Toomeke's HRAP I actually liked my TE stick more, not sure what that was about. I like the box on the HRAP more I think...

Aye? people saying HRAP is better than TE now, true? but it looks so ugz though. I got time to think about it anyway, my debit card wont be ready till 5-10 working days, I can get blazeblue and marvel anyways. Gonna start thrashing those games, sick of SF4 (not because of tourny dissapointment, just coz all the chars have been learnt)

Bro I cant wait to see you on a stick... its gonna be loltimes!!! hahha.  Nah but for reals bro Itll up your games once youre used to it.

IMO I like my TE more than my HRAP, but I think thats cause my TE has Seimitsu buttons which i favour.  Aesthetically I like the TE more, but to play on I like both.

Man I really really really want to get some BB games in. Am thinking of organising a mini tourney for it.

I'll be in for that, i'll get trashed (only managed about 30 mins playtime last week or so) but will be good fun.
I hope some SBO BB footage turns up soon - love to see how all those Nu's got taken out.

I think the TE I played on was unmodded.
I need a Seimitsu balltop to match my HRAP artmod thats coming - so if anyone is ordering parts let me know.

I like my Te more than the HRAP , I dont like the start and select buttons over the top of the main buttons cos a masher like me could easily hit them and forfeit the round like at the tourney .

The TEs are at the back so no chance but get what you want dude , anything will be better than pad , you will get used to it quick :)

Id just like to point out that what youre talking about will now be called "pulling a weazzy".

So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.
Because he's not our Hero.
