SFIV fightstick (NOT TE) $200

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

You could strap a tree branch to the top of a weetbix box and make some buttons out of playdough and I'd still ride that motherfucker till the wheels fall off.

I NEVER want to meet your girlfriend.

[Lennysaurus]

hahaha!

On another note arent you friends with Sara and Stuart?

Havent seen them in yonks how are they?

[[NIUE] BIRRY WONG]

Well, theyre not a couple anymore. (as far as i know) Stu and i both work at tvnz now, and hang out with a lot of the same people so were still pretty good mates. But I haven't seen Sara in ages either.

[Lennysaurus]

Oh rats thats a bit bum.

Nice to hear that Stu is holding down a job and stuff.  Let him now I said Hi if ya see him next.

Epic quote:
"I dont know bout you guys but the stick and buttons make bugger all difference to me."
"I just dropped $399 on the TE stick though.  Not cause I can feel the difference, but moreso cause I wanna look cooler than you guys..."
"Im gonna cover it in transformer and Dragonball Z stickers from the 2 dollar shop so that its awesomeness pwns your faces even more."

Can't wait XD

Ill give ya $220 for it lol/serious

$180, $220. Actually if I sell it I'd like to make some kind of profit 

Or Sell my fully decked out PS3 SE fightstick (sanwa stick, 6 sanwa buttons) for round the $250 mark.

How about 300?

$300 sounds good. Unless someone else can beat it  Seriously though $300 would be great. I wouldn't keep my hopes up too much I'm pretty much at Gamewizz's (the kiwi distributor for MadCatz) on this one. April 24 was the date I was given for the TE sitcks release here. I'll keep you posted. Once it arrives we can do a internet banking mish and I can work out how much it'll cost to send up north etc.

I'm pretty Stoked with my custom job I did on the SE now. Especially now that it's all sanwa parts:



No Lamilabel in New Zealand so went with a lovely acrylic print sticker. Pricey though $30!

Decked out with Sanwa parts for a Tekken 6 arcade cab! Had to file back the sides of the buttons as they had sticking out bits which were a bit more prominent that than madcraps sorry MadCatz buttons. New stick was around $40 buttons were around $60 ($6.53 each + GST)

Only a bit bummed out about the artwork being slightly misaligned. Maybe tekken buttons aren't as wide on top. I did stick it a tad the left though.

All in all. Stoked! :wgrin:

[fluxcore]

Looks sweet man! Shame about the misalignment, yeah... maybe staining the plastic underneath black would lessen the effect though? Or black vivid or something?

[[8-----D] Toots]

Nice shit dood! I think I'm gonna finish painting my case this weekend. Hopefully it'll look half decent.

Has anyone got experience with the semitsu ls-32 joysticks? I'm a jlf man myself but looking for something a little wee bit stiffer.

[[NIUE]iRONSoL]

Shit thats pretty wicked! Wish I knew how to make something like that

My arcade cab has ls32s, I really like them. Not sure I've used JLFs yet though (part of the reason I'm getting a TE stick), so I can't compare unfortunately. I think the ls32s are stiffer. I don't really like floppy sticks too much, so I have a feeling I'm going to prefer the ls32s over the jlfs, but we'll see.

[Barnstorm]

jlf's and ls32 have very few differences i have both and the ls32 feels a tad stiffer but it may be because its newer

I just dropped $399 on the TE stick though.  Not cause I can feel the difference, but moreso cause I wanna look cooler than you guys when I bust out my phat TE stick.  WOOT!

Im gonna cover it in transformer and Dragonball Z stickers from the 2 dollar shop so that its awesomeness pwns your faces even more.

WIN

I am aware of the alternatives to the SE and TE, but where can they be purchased? At the moment, Akihabarashop and NCSX are both sold out, as is Play-Asia.

Ideally I'd like to get the HRAP EX SE, because I prefer Seimitsu. I don't know where to turn, though. Any ideas?

You might find you just have to wait until theyre back in stock, unless you can find one on say, ebay. But if it were me i'd prefer to buy one from one of the sites you listed.

[Lennysaurus]

Seems to be alot of sticks going on Ebay atm.

Guys might want to check it out.
