Shazay Posted August 3, 2006 Posted August 3, 2006 Well if you have to choose b/t the mas stick and the x-arcade, which one would you choose? An X-Arcade stick with stock parts is pretty bad, on the other hand mas is all quality parts. Your cheapest alternative would be a Street Fighter stick and mod it with happ parts yourself or just buy a modded one.
Lazreal Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 ... looks like mine exept my sticks are falling apart

Alphakami Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 I'm currently working on my masterwork stick. Carbon Fiber face, polished aluminum case, open on mini-hydrulics, super clean install with everything made into a wiring harness (Think of the Honda S2000 as a joystick.) Can't decide if I'm sticking with Happ P360 and Comp buttons or going Sanwa. I'll be sure to post up pics of that one when it's completed plus all the ones I'm making for the Kentucky GG crew. Lots of nice work in this thread. So many fine peices of ass-whoop.
disc0 Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Not the best stick in the world, but it works. I am considering doing some small mods to it, like new buttons, and art.
reaVer Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 looser spring:P Man those sammy sticks have tough springs:P
SiLeNcE Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Hey~! I was thinking of buying an arcade stick (so i can practice my I-No at home xD). Is there any specific types you guys could recommend?
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I have a MAS and a HRAP2 and I need to fix the MAS (actuators acting up or so I've been told) and I'm thinking of modding the HRAP2... Either way I want artwork on 'em haha. SiLeNcE: American stick- Best to go custom but that'll set you back a bundle. MAS is good for a stock stick if you have no intent to mod, I have a p360 with hard spring and convex buttons and I like it a lot. If you are gonna mod, might as well get something cheap (SFAC stick, Pelican) or build your own lol. Japanese sticks... for non-modding, HRAP or HRAP2 and you're pretty much set. If you are going to mod... the Agetec DC stick and the T5 Hori are good 'cuz they go for cheap. Of course you could mod a HRAP or HRAP2 as well. And of course customs. What area are you in? There might be a custom stick builder in your region and that could save on shipping.
EvlBowlOfCereal Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I just feel this one needs to be posted just because I think its so awesome and I haven't seen anyone else mention it. http://byrdo.org/images/Arcade%20Stiks/Dizzy.jpg I just wish that stick hadn't sold out cuz I actully kinda wanted that Ya I know this topic is for YOUR stick but I felt that needed to be posted and I need to get my hands on a new stick once EVO is over.
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 To all the custom builders and modders- How would I put artwork on my HRAP2 and/or MAS? I'd like to get some artwork done for my HRAP2 before I go back to school at the very least.
Master Chibi Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Easiest way is to get vinyl stickers or whatever the hell they're called. Just cut and stick that shit right on there.
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Easiest way is to get vinyl stickers or whatever the hell they're called. Just cut and stick that shit right on there. Does it look good?
Master Chibi Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Yes, Snaaaaake (on SRK) did this to his stick (also replaced the balltop with a bat) I'm having the same done to mine, but keeping the ball. http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116863 He didn't even plug the buttons, just pasted the art right over it. Looks great. ;D
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 mm that's a bit more modding than I'm comfortable with at the moment =P I don't particularly like the turbo switches or extra buttons but eh maybe I can come up with some simple, clean artwork for it... empty space might look kinda awkward, but I dunno if having a bunch of buttons taking up half the pic looks any better lol.
Master Chibi Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Oh no no, that's just what he did to it. You can just get the template and have it printed out properly is all. ;D
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Yeah I'm just saying is all. I'll figure out my art stuff soon, dunno what to do with it haha. Also do we need to remove anything or open up the stick at all, or can we literally just paste it on top of the stick as is?
Master Chibi Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 I believe you have to put the stick aside (and possibly the bolts) but I'll get confirmation on that ;O!
SiLeNcE Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 What area are you in? There might be a custom stick builder in your region and that could save on shipping. Yeah....i live in New Zealand lol xD So modding an arcade board might be a little difficullt for me to find here >< Too bad there arent shops on the net that can custom make them for you >_> But anyway, apart from custom made boards, what are the best ones you can get hold of?
CrimsonDisaster Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 mm New Zealand... shipping is going to be a killer from any US or European custom builder. Your best bet is probably to get a HRAP/HRAP2 in that case. Or you could get a bunch of parts and build your own stick, haha.
