Only reason would be if you prefer the base on the TE, otherwise, I'd say no it's not worth it at all. BTW I also have a SE stick w/ sanwa parts.
Ravager61 said:
Same thing. Just a smaller footprint, lack of cord storage, and you've gotta still use stock buttons for start and select. But, you also get the awesome slope on the SE (a nice benefit!).

Waiting patiently! Hopefully more accessible. Got any pics of the booth and folks buying your wares?
Btw, I did order a pad from the Mad Catz store! My first PS3 fightpad!

I have an SE I got at launch fully modded with seimitsu parts and just picked up a TE and love it. It may just be little things but to me it's much nicer. I love that it uses actual 24mm buttons for start and select instead of little plastic nubs. I love the cord compartment and how you can adjust how much cord you need. The whole thing feels really solid and the extra wrist room is nice. Whether it's worth an extra $150 depends on you. They look amazing with arthong's full panel plexiglass covers.
I love the hyper-sensitive non-clicky Sanwa buttons but I'm not a huge fan of the sticks with their big deadzone and quickly swapped it for a Seimitsu.
Hey guys,
Sharing my recent mod. Since I'm stingy with colour prints I decided to use sketches printed (laser) on thick art block paper.
A real good way if you're on a tight budget, or having mental block thinking of what design to go with.
Do you think I should go with a black or white balltop? I have both but am undecided. The one you see in the image above is actually a clear bubbletop, but it gives a purplish tint.
If anyone's interested, I posted my short work log at SRK.

I like the stick, and I'd stick with the clear top, even with the slight purplish tint in it.
Quick question: where did you go about getting the clear buttons?

Would they work with my SE fightstick? They're both 30mm, but just double checking. I was looking into the Sanwa OBSF-30s, but I like the look of those clear ones.milkham said:

Sorry if it's been asked already, but does anybody here have any experience modding one of the old Tekken 5 10th Anniversary Arcade Sticks?
I've been on the fence about purchasing a TE stick for a while. Tekken 6's release is approaching, and with all the other game-related purchases I'm making this fall, I'm looking to save a few dollars if at all possible. So... I'm wondering if there's any way I can make this old arcade stick work for me instead. I've got no experience with this, so any help would be appreciated.

Are you going to use it with PS3? If so, get a Pelican, inPin, or Hais PS2 -> PS3 adapter. They should be compatible with current firmware.Sai said:

LIES! Virtua Striker reps Octo all day!Ledsen said:
but yeah, it's hip to be sqaure when it comes to FGs
I was at the Con and ended up passing on the special TE. Dont get me wrong, I was all over it as soon as I saw it... but I couldnt justify another $180 with all the other expenses on this trip. (I already own a regular TE) I didnt want to pickup one to resell either but it looks like people have been doing that as usual.
Oh well. Hopefully next surprise from them is cheaper and available everywhere.

Not to my knowledge. A Cthulhu MC board will support both USB (PC/PS3) and Gamecube, though. They're mad easy to wire up. USB support shouldn't require any soldering. If you want GC support, you'd have to attatch a cable to the board, which will require a small bit of soldering.Ysiadmihi said:

PC and Wii compatibility in one stick something I have never seen.
One option would be to buy PS2 stick and both PS2->GCN and PS2->PC controller adapters.
The other option would be to buy a multiconsole cthulhu PCB (which PC, PS3, Xbox1, PS1/2, and GCN) and build your own stick from scratch/have someone build a custom for you.
Note that both of the options are GCN controllers, so the game would have to support it (TvC, GGXXAC/+ etc, all do though)

Just a reminder for anybody in the North America region who still might want to get a VOOT stick, Hori said the initial preorder run was just a "trial" and has now officially re-opened them. NCS is offering preorders through Monday but there is a $100 deposit. The clunky original mock-up as been sleeked out (new image below, not sure if it is legit since it looks like a crappy photoshop):

That pic seems off. All these little distortion problems. It is what NCS had at their site and is what is at the Hori store so It seems the direction the stick is taking. Looking better but hopefully it will get even more finalized. Hori store link:

What it the story with the HRAP EX SA? Haven't seen anybody post real-life pics yet. And no importers have offered it for sale. Hasn't even surfaced on eBay yet.
Caj814 said:
That is just the nature of the business, I'd imagine. Gotta recoup all the sunk costs. At least the HRAP mold is one of the best. Mad Catz will do the same thing. The TE form factor and its new white base is gonna show up again and wasn't made just for $90k worth of retail.
The most interesting, for me, is the mid-grade line that the new Tekken stick and SE operate within.
Sai said:
NCS emailed me and said they will be charging the card on the 30th. But it seems like the stick is finally officially a go. So far the most exciting stick release this year!

This is just like most Comic-Con exclusives. Only available at Comic-Con. This will also be individually numbered out of /250.
6 months and they finalized my account here. MarkMan can you explain why all the SDCC TE sticks don't have the hadouken arrow dust washers on them like Capcom announced they would please?
I received an X360 SF4 TE stick today. I'm familiar with the light clicks from the Sanwa (have a T5 HRAP), but the stick has a clunky, chunky motion when I press up. Like there's a small sticking point. Other directions produce the happy light click and are smooth.
Any advice on whether I should return the stick?

I'm tempted to see if my GS has a TE stick that I can get with all the credit I have saved up... with MvC2 hitting next week and Tekken 6 before year end, I can see enough use that I might be able to justify the purchase.
