Hello! I'm a very avid Blazblue fan and I would like to say it's the first fighter I've taken seriously. By recommendation of a friend, they said if I truly wished to step my game up that I would need to get an arcade stick. I bought a Hori for my 360 for CT and well...I basically bought a $90 dust collector. After researching on the forums last night I bit the bullet and dipped into my wallet. Here's what I ordered:
1x Mad Catz SE (The Street Fighter IV one, I'm still getting used to the shorthand)
6x OBSF-30-W Sanwa buttons
And apparently Lizardlick is down until Aug. 9th, but I plan on purchasing:
1x Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable
1x Sanwa GT-Y Octagonal Restrictor Plate
and a white balltop to go with it.
And well, this is my first time going this deep into commitment for a fighter. I was hoping to get some opinions or advice on what I am getting. Will this be sufficient for a beginner such as myself or should I start with something else? I'm pretty much working within my budget seeing as it'll set me back a little under $130. Also if anyone knows, does LizardLick have a moderately fast shipping rate? In terms of the octogonal gate and JTF, most of the retailers I find online are shipping from Hong Kong or Europe.
Any and all information and help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
