My fightstick TE needs needs new internals :(

Anyone know of a reliable source in the UK?
I emailed gremlin last year and never heard back.

When you say internals do you mean the pcb? The TE had some common pcb problems.

Seeing as the madcatz sticks are easy to mod simply swapping it for a univrsal or console specific pcb will be easy.

nah i think its the actual joystick mechanism, its sticking from time to time and sometimes downblock gets mixed up with leftblock which is why I not played in weeks.

Gonna put in an octo gate and put into a new joystick as my own xmas present:/.

Octo, really? Why?! Such a mistake.

think he mains zangief. might be easier

Just wanna see if its more responsive. yeah I main gief, he has a lot of hard links which need to be combined with precise diagonals, so I think the octo will give me an edge and its what I was brought up on.

Ah, well if you were brought up on it then fair play. Plus, 'our sort' are tinkerers anyway so no harm in fucking around with things.

Would it kill them to make the stick a bit longer?

Is that not the point of Jap style sticks, low height?

What are advantages of using these type of devices in fighting games?

Most 2d fighting games requiring various 'circle' motions (half/quarter-circle-back/forward, 360/720) for special attacks and this is the controller most fighting games were designed for in a first place. I'd not say it's an advantage but more accurate input device for such games.

yepp, but i give the edge in accuracy to this keyboard-stick hybrid: http://www.youtube.com/user/HitBoxes#g/u

Yep, surprisingly 'keyboards' could work pretty good for 2d-fighters too.

Cept if your name is Vangief.

I used to think joysticks were an advantage over pads/keyboards and they probably are for the masses, but I have seen some keyboard/pad players do amazing things, same with toxic, if you saw that guys cfg you would choke, but no one doubts how effective he is.

in fact his robotic style of play might even be defined by his weird controls, and that can be an advantage. Same in SF, good keyboard/pad players are a bit like playing noobs, they do weird things at times that can trip you up because you expect a style of play stemmed from the masses.

for anything except 360 moves a keyboard is actually _MORE_ accurate.

i hope the price and quality are competitive with Hori and MadCatz, because Razer peripherals are more present in Europe.

it's quite a pain in the ass to order a stick from Hori for example :<

What's up with that button layout?

what do you mean?

B X Y LB
A LT RT RB
Just doesn't seem that logical to me.

didn't even notice :)
i guess it'll fuck up a lot of default configurations and you'd have to reconfigure. hopefully they heard this complaint already from the selected testers in the community and will change it to standard order

Found this. Seems easy enough to change it yourself if they don't.
