TheTempestSonata Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I really don't like how crappy this works on my PC... TheLaughingMan, there's a black one that you can get on Amazon.com for about $40 usually... let me see if I can find it. http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Arcade-Fig...6474&sr=8-1 as for making yoru own, mine cost me about $150 to make it. $45 for woods, paints, lexan for the case (don't forget, you need a dremel tool) $45 for the toodles PCB (you MIGHT need a soldering iron here as well) $10 for wires, wire ties, solder, and rubber feet $30 for the JLF $15 for the buttons shipping... quite a bit of cash.

shakey Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Anyone who has this on PC hit me up, Sh4k3yhands or sh4k3y@hotmail.com for windows live. I have just made it to g3-b after 3 days of playing online. I thought I knew how to play all these years.... maybe im getting too old, or maybe i never knew how to play, either one is a horrible realization :p Game is great though and would like to find people I could spar with and have good matches. Hit me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some paint/art equipment i can supe it up. I think my graffity skill might come in handy now Lol. Edit: hmm I got a 360 tho, so it won't work unless i somehow take everything inside out and put 360 gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTempestSonata Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 You MIGHT be able to find an EX2 for cheap... like, $50-60 or so, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLaughingMan Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I see one ex2 for $59, will place my order once I get paid next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I was gonna ask if you'd be interested in making one for me, but for that price, no chance :laugh: You can buy the Champion stick for less :p I know m8, but there's not much I can do about the price. it costs about ?120 in parts if you want it done nice.

TheLaughingMan Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 ok Mr. I did all trials in 2 days :D So far, I can do Tap>headbutt>ult, Overhead punch>ex headbutt > ult. but its so much harder doing it in a fight than on a dummy. Sigh, need more practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead_Monkey Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I see one ex2 for $59, will place my order once I get paid next week. I'd honestly advise against the EX or EX2. The Mad Catz stick is far better. And whichever you get, fix it to a bat top for gods sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say that the regular SFIV fight stick is garbage. the third party buttons they used in it are terrible. The TE stick is better than the EX2, but still, the EX2 is much better than the fight stick. You might as well go with a generic piece of crap for that matter. As for the bat top... that really comes down to preference. I hate battops... I think they're trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 26, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2009 Any of you guys buying MvC2 on Wednesday? Thinking I will just edit the title of this topic to include it. I can't wait :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael1406 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I loaded up SF4 again the other day, pulled my FightPad from its resting place and started playing offline. Went into trials, and realised that I suck in the grand scheme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex566 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I should be getting it this week won't have a stick for a while but I am sure I can get somewhere with a pad. This game cost me around ?60 for the Dreamcast last year now it is is coming for XBL and PSN ^^ I think this is a win for gamers. I just wish more older games were released.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 26, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Yup, for all those people complaining about the price of the game, they really have no idea about it's true value. If you want a disc based version (either DC, Xbox or PS2) you're going to pay through the nose for it. There was only so many copies of the game created as well because Capcom lost the Marvel license so the game is incredibly rare. Oh did I mention I have a copy too :p :heart: The DreamCast version is the one to have though because it is much closer to the original arcade release. It's also easier to find because they didn't have the problem with the number of prints made. But even with this XBLA/PSN version its well worth the asking price because of the improvements they've made to it. They haven't recreated the sprites sadly, but the backgrounds have been reworked and the game is much smoother running. Not to mention the multiplayer. There is also 2 different filters you can run "crisp" and "smooth" which improve the visuals. Edited July 26, 2009 by DrunknMunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still nice to have a copy on any system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted July 26, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted July 26, 2009 Edited my post to include that little bit of info, but the best version is the arcade version ;) But you're right, it's awesome to have a copy of it, despite what console its for. When I found mine I grabbed it and walked straight to the till. Happiest day of my life :p jk I also have the DC and PS2 versions but they aren't quite kosher!

The buttons still have a pretty good response when compared to the Sanwa, but the recoil needs improvement. As for the joystick, it works. It will still input whatever you tell it to, it's just not as smooth. No matter to me though, I modded mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I've read that the 70$ madcatz sfiv arcade stick was actually pretty good , and the only defect really was maybe a loose washer you would just have to superglue back in. Anyone have it and know from experience how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it, and my experience is that it is better than both the Hori DoA4 stick and the EX2, which I regard as flimsy and awful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
