Anyone know the best SF4 Fightstick and Arcade Stick?
I heard Hori is good, but people are saying Madcatz is good too. Don't know which one to get.
Best SF4 Fightstick/Arcadestick?
I vote Hori over Madcatz based on past experience. But top notch stuff would be swana parts. There is no swana company that makes thier own sticks, but say the more expsensive sticks (from whatever company) would have swana parts on it.
From what I have heard, Arcade-in-a-box is the best place for arcade sticks.

Sadly, if you want a really good stick for less than $150+, you will have to build it.
The latest episode of The Totally Rad Show has them tooling around with the SC4 stick and the two SFIV MadCatz sticks. They're no arcade/fighting game gurus, but they discussed the sticks from a "Dude I am never going to build my own stick" perspective.
To abridge what they said:
The $150 MadCatz stick didn't seem to differentiate itself from the other two. They think it works fine, but it's more of a show piece for the crazies.
The $80ish MadCatz stick felt the best to them. The buttons seemed more like what you would expect from an arcade machine than the $150 stick.
The $50 SC4 (Hori?) stick works fine. If you're looking to save money, go with it. No real faults besides its light weight, which probably makes it feel cheap.
I think I'm gonna go with the $80 MadCatz.
