The lockswitch on the SSFIV versions lock out Start and Select too as well as Home/Guide. On the older ones, the lockswitch only disables Home/Guide. Other than that the differences are just aesthetic and minor form factor alterations.

The BlazBlue ones also lock start & back/select. Just a heads up :)

So it's original TE form factor but with the TE S's PCB? Neato, too bad I'm never getting my hands on one of those... :(

Is it usual for Lizardlick to not respond to and order placed. After placing an order the other day I got no confirmation or anything. I then sent them an email, also no response.

Anyone? Do they usually take a couple days?

Question for Markman:

I noticed that on the upcoming Chun-Li S stick, it uses the original style bezel rather than a full panel. I also noticed that MadCatz sells bezels now.

Does that mean it's possible to switch out the full panel on the Ryu/Ken S sticks and replace it with a bezel? If so, what about the plastic cover for the inner bezel portion? Are you going to offer this so that could be done?

Are all the upcoming S sticks going to a bezel rather than full panel now?

Thanks.

Anybody have a good idea on what button color scheme to use on a Deathsmiles II stick? Something other than purple skeletons? Open to any idea that might class it up a bit...

I bought a Madcatz SE a couple weeks ago. Holy cow, what a piece of shit. The buttons started giving me problems the first day I got it and the stick didn't register the up-left direction :lol

It was a good thing I was planning to mod it anyway. I ordered the Sanwa parts from LizardLick, completed the mod and now I'm doing great.

but seriously, I couldn't believe how shitty the stock parts were on this stick. My Hori EX2 has taken my scrubby button mashing abuse for more than a year now and it's still going.

Yes you can use a bezel on the TE "S" ... Only caveat is you'd have to use artwork (that fits) and either get custom plexi done (http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/) or print out your own artwork.

I'm not sure what you're talking about for plastic cover on inner bezel portion? Do you mean the artwork?

The Chun-Li one is the only stick to have the S style + bezel. No other plans at this time.

Cool. Thanks. Yea, I meant the plexi that goes over the artwork inside the bezel. I guess I can always get a custom one from that link then if I decide to do this.

I won't claim it's a good idea but what about the deep pink with black plunger seimitsu they have at akihabarashop?

Not a bad idea! I'll try it. Did not know of the new colors. I think they will match the little girl's dress.

I switched out the gate on mine and swapped in a bat top for the stick and now I'm golden. Buttons have yet to give me any trouble, though.

The entire stick looks phenomenal, but I'm more impressed with the cable management than anything else. Even my best efforts still look like a rat's nest compared to that. :lol

Any known sales coming up for any version of the TE stick for 360? A cousin of mine wants a TE bad but I guess is trying to find the best deal. He's come to me for help and now, I'm coming to you GAF. Any insight would be great. Thanks.

So, lessons to learn:

-You sold out because you got a job in the industry

-Since you got that job, if you cant influence decisions worth millions of dollars to please 20 people, you're that much more of a sellout

-Since you talk to the people that make Tekken, they should implement features people that know you from the internet want

So, how is the hassle at airports with the sticks? I'll be taking mine on a trip for a few weeks and would like to know.

Does it have to be out and placed in a bin similar to consoles and laptops?

yeah, if I didn't already own a couple 360 sticks, I would have already bought one. $300 is steep, but it's so nice. I'll probably end up breaking down and buying one eventually.

pretty simple. Take it out of your carry on, put it in a bin, have the security people ask about it and see that it's not because it's a security risk that they're asking but because they think it's really cool. Move on

My VSHG is beat-up pretty badly, I'm going to need a new stick. Anyone can point me to some good custom case makers that has that SEGA button layout? Not a fan of the Viewflex layout.

how is it that we have an option for a $300 vewlix god stick at retail and there's still not one wireless 360 stick on the market with QDs or sanwa/etc.? this has something to do with markman selling out, doesn't it?

Mircrosoft doesn't license their proprietary wireless for cheap. It probably isn't worth the investment, especially since those interested in a high-end arcade stick would not be interested in wireless anyway.

Old-school HRAPs have the Sega layout.

If you're considering customs and DIY options check out Voltech's VSHG themed sticks.

Or repair your existing one. What's wrong with it?

-EDIT-

Holy shit! That link is awesome! Thanks bro.
