Topic started by hungrynun called "Pad to Stick transition." was nice. However, I'm opening this one up because I'm interested in getting a fightstick to play MW2. :P In all seriousness though, I've been trying to find a review by fellow GBers and I haven't really found one. The extent of my arcade stick experience is playing the Simpsons arcade game. The street fighter cab was either always crowded or their was some form of  bodily fluid on the sticks that most likely had some new strain of hepatitis implanted on it. I'm playing on the 360 version. Thanks all.

Also, if someone has a SNES controller that's been converted to work on the 360 for street fighter.......

You want to play Modern Warfare 2 with an arcade stick?  "

It was a joke. It's for SSFIV.

if youre going to convert any controller it should be the sega saturn one

even if sega decides to not make consoles, they should still be selling pads... they were the kings

Get a Madcatz Fightstick TE. There's your review.

" Get a Madcatz Fightstick TE. There's your review. "

madcatz TE, they're solid.  SE's are cheap if you wanna use one to start out.  Customs are expensive if you wanna go fancy.  
 
I've build dozens of sticks, played on a TE, SE, Hori, and a few others.  Used just about all manufacturers of parts, different buttons, layouts, joystick tops & gates, etc etc.  IMO, the TE is the best "bang for your buck".  Followed by any custom stick made just how you want from a good builder.  And followed by the SE which gets extra points because they're so damn cheap right now.  
 
EG: TE stick is like 100 bucks.  We did a custom amboyna burl stick, dual board (PS3 & 360) using a rocker switch, all sanwa parts, custom art supplied by the customer, it was like 500 bucks to him IIRC.  A friend of mine just bought a SE for 35 bucks off amazon as his beater stick.  My personal custom stick was about 75 total in parts (ignoring labor, cost of tools, etc) single 360 board sanwa stick, seimitsu buttons, maple case, plexi, etc.  really any of those options is very good and you wont be dissapointed.  :)

yeah no review necessary, just get a TE stick. shell out the cash!

Seriously considering buying a SE and modding it with Sanwa parts. Would this result in a better stick than the stock TE?

I also recommend the DSP reviews that StaticFalconer posted. 
 
The TE stick is really good but I feel that the Sanwa stick is slightly too stiff for me and the buttons too loose. My other stick has full Seimitsu and I like it better. All about personal preference, you just need to try them out if you can.

Anyone looking to sell a fight stick? I'd be interested.

Don't listen to StaticFalconar, he's trying to fill your brain with insipid poisons. I have used the Hori sticks and they are poop. Of course that's just my biased opinion.
