The stock sitck has a square gate. It's a JLF knockoff.

Is there any actual advantage to those? Serious question-- I always found them to be really counter-intuitive for fighting games. I guess easier diagonals, but seems rather silly for Street Fighter stuff, no?
 
>_<

Really wouldn't mind a stick ... but darn it, I simply can't justify this right now. Been buying way too much shit recently as it is, plus Christmas shopping has started.


Great deal though. Damn.

Japanese sticks have smaller engage than American ones. You aren't supposed to ride the gate. They're very good for charge characters. Otherwise it's a preference thing.

Ahh, I see, thanks. I kind of figured that but it always felt weird to me-- I guess I just prefer the American style ones.

Well if you got it you'd get some use out of those parts instead of them lying around. :lol

I'm $30+ poorer now. Thanks.
This will be my frankenstick. I'm going to drop a multicthulhu in there and use it on every system and just not give a fuck.
I'm excited.

Just get it and replace the buttons. Go to lizardlick.com. The stick is very good once you do this.

Bottom line, exactly which buttons should I order from the site? I browsed all the modding forums and came back more confused?
 
Cool, thanks for the heads up! Picking this up at the local Wal-Mart ASAP. This is going to make getting people to play me in SF at my house much easier, as well as make getting people to play MvC 3 super easy (I only had one stick!)

If you want parity with the TE stick, order a set of Sanwa OBSF-30 to replace the buttons, and Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK to replace the lever.
Click to expand...

Also, thanks for the button suggestions. Is there an easy replacement help website anywhere? I'm looking for something with step-by-step what to do (hopefully with pictures!). All help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Oh wow, that Joystick replacement is suprisingly expensive.... Perhaps I'll just replace the buttons. The Stick on this thing isn't so bad it needs to be replaced is it?

Misprint. Not the TE STICK. Just the regular SE

If it's a misprint, couldn't you demand them to send the TE stick because they made the mistake? Already have a TE stick but wouldn't mind double-dipping and gifting the game to my brother or something.

How is the game on the PS3? Maybe I'd get it for that since I don't have a PS3 stick yet and have been planning to get away from Live anyways.

This is a pretty good video tutorial.
It's relatively easy to swap parts on this thing.

I play it on the PS3 and it's perfectly fine. Runs great on both consoles.
 
One thing about modding these sticks is the wire that connects your joystick doesn't "click", so that wire is kinda loose. While it will hold together for months at a time, I suggest you should use something to keep that together, like a small piece of tape. During a heated online session I completely lost movement on the stick, which only let me stand there and randomly flail limbs. Bad bad timing.
 
Is anyone else having problems buying this? I gave up after Wal-Mart's site was unable to process the transaction for the umpteenth time and told me to use another card.
 
Okay, I've got a random question for anyone that's dealt with Wal-Mart returns...

So on the receipt, the Fightstick and game are listed seperately (SF4 = #15.00, Fightstick = $14.00). Does this mean that I could leave the game unopened and return it to Wal-Mart, and then just turn around and pick up a copy of SSF4 instead? If so, this deal just got way more awesome.

I'm not trying to screw over the system here, I'd just rather upgrade to the "superior" version of the game if possible.

Yeah, I'm sure you can. I mean even if you didn't have a receipt they would still take returns for the items in the system.
 
I'm in the process of replacing the art/buttons on my current TE. Now I have a place to stick the old buttons for a cheap-but-good second stick. Thanks for posting the deal, I've been meaning to pick a new one up for a while.

I may pick up a new joystick for it somewhere down the line, but honestly it may be more trouble than it's worth for a guest stick.
 
Saw it on one of the dealsite RSS feeds yesterday, and jumped on the deal. This will let me replace the PCB in the 360 TE that I accidentally dropped a soldering iron on while dual-modding with a MC Cthulhu, and I can then put one of the new 360/PS3 PCBs from AkihabaraShop in there.

And I guess I can trade in the game for $2 since I already have the PS3 version and I don't really want the 360 version. :lol
 
This deal is online only though right? Would be a pain to return via online, unless you can do it in store.
If you can...I will probably hope onto this deal.
 
I can't get the site to store thing to work-- it's saying it's not available at this store even though "20 out of 20 stores" have the service. Anyone else?

You can have walmart.com ship it to a store for free pick-up. It's one of the shipping options.
 
I wish I had 30 bucks to spare.

I have a few sticks already though so this just may be overkill for me, but i can't help taking advantage of a good deal.

Yup, that's my plan. I'm going to pick it up in store and then head straight to the return counter. It's not like they are going to care.
