Good PS2 (or universal) arcade sticks? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

CyCo PL · 08-22-2003, 11:09 PM

Do any of the people out there with arcade sticks for their console have any recommendations for good arcade sticks for PS2?

I really wanna get a stick for VF4:E, but there's a ton out there, and I'm wondering if any of you guys might know what the best out there is.

the best commercial stick i've seen was the Xarcade stick. You can build one with HAPPS parts, but it will run you about 75-100 bucks plus labor.

The Xarcade is tempting, but I don't really like the button placement. Plus, it's extremely expensive.

I'm thinking of getting the Hori VF4:E japanese stick, or maybe the Soul Calibur 2 stick.

For sticks that are reasonably inexpensive (under 70 bucks) and really good, I'd go w/ the Soul Calibur 2 sticks from Hori (not the piece of shit coming out in the states)

the VF evo stick is decent, but only has 5 face buttons, so it doesn't work as well w/ games l ike Street Fighter and Guilty Gear. If all you are going to play is Tekken, SC2 and VF, then it should be fine.

I have a couple of old Tekken 2 Namco sticks and they are amazing.
