Sagat usually, been trying out zangief. Any character suggestions?

If youre sagat trow low tiger shots at him.

If youre zangief you can walk up and jab spd him from much further than jab range.

With most characters you can sweep him out off jab range

Trick him into doing that and block it. Afterwards punish him with something. Do this a few times and he'll stop doing the headbutt. Then you have a bit more control

Fast lariat(kkk) should beat jabs, it kind of sucks things off the floor.

As for Sagat, you can probably tiger knee through/over them? lk tiger knee is totally goddamn safe on block, too.

If you're in Auckland, my friend's shop in IMAX called Livewire is getting a new stock of HORI sticks this week.

If you're elsewhere, Gamesman or whats its name might sell them.

Dammit, and i JUST shelled out the $400 for a TE stick.

Since i can't afford one of these, who wants to loan me a stick until my TE one arrives? :P

I don't think mightyape take the money out of your account until they ship, so most likely you haven't paid anything yet. Should be able to cancel no probs and then buy the hori sticks (if they are cheaper).

They dont for a credit card transaction, but they do for a bank transaction.

No. Hori EXs have neither Sanwa sticks nor buttons,
the HRAP has a Sanwa stick but hori buttons.

So just to clarify.  

This week the Livewire shop located in the IMAX building will be getting Hori Xbox 360 sticks?

If so how much are they and when can I go get one?

Title: Re: How the hell

Livewire is located near the Sputnik bar in METRO (previously IMAX) beside the Civic centre along Queenstreet.

I'm not sure if they have any XBAWK 360 Horis in stock. But I'm pretty sure they will stock up on the fighting stick 3 and tank sized ones.

small ones cost ~ $90
tank ones will cost ~ $160
