Is that you brother? I too am D West.
Jaguar? I thought I should've bought a Virtual Boy controller
WHAT WHERE YOU THIIIIIIINKING?
@@donaldwest9373 lmao
woolie talking about stick parts like hes tryin to build a damn armored core

He's barely scratching the surface imo.
We'll know we're in the right timeline when he's doing just that in 30 to 60 years

I sincerely appreciate Woolie trying to help people getting into fighting games and answering questions that could be kinda awkward to ask elsewhere. I've been eyeballing a SoulCal stick that's on display at a store I walk by on my way to school, but I feel it'd be wasteful, as I've been kind of out of the loop on that almost since Brawl came out.
BUT WHEN'S BACK IN THO? YOU CAN'T KEEP ESCAPING YOUR NINDO, WOOLIE.
If the stick you're looking at is the Madcatz SCV stick, I'd definitely say drop some cash down on that thing. I've had mine since it was originally released. I've used it for every fighting game since SCV and since I've switched to PC, it hasn't let me down yet. Still all original parts and everything. Absolutely worth the buy, as far as I'm concerned.
yea SCV used to be my main stick for years, never had a problem. It's a good mid level stick, not a tournament level stick like those $200+ sticks like the TE2+, but still not small and tiny and lightweight like some of the cheaper entry level ones. I love the mad catz versus stick, which im using as my daily driver stick, i love the wide surface and the 7+ lb weight, it feels nice and sturdy and never moves around.
Jesus christ woolie
Thats a dope crib you live in
Woolie traded in the Woolie Hole for the Woolie Den
Superbro64 be wary, it reeks of Funko Pops.
awsomesaucekirby I was sort of hoping when he first started panning around you would see one hidden in the rafters.
Like an actual crib? For babies...?
He's customised his house in the way I always want to customise my homes in Fallout and Skyrim.
Love how woolie lives the david cage apartment dream
Next thing you know his furniture is gonna start attacking him.
Oops, I make ze good apartment
Really dumb and taking itself way too seriously?
Honestly, the reason I love playing with an arcade stick is that there's something immensely satisfying about playing on one versus playing on a controller, and that for as couple games (like Tekken) it makes complicated button inputs a little easier
I was promised all these years that Woolie lives in a slimy hole in the ground that emanates "Comp noises".
I've been lied to, his place looks great!
His last joint was the place you see in the intro of fisticuffs. You could call that a slimy hole when compared to this palace.
Zagardal I was just making a totally original (not really original) Woolie Hole joke. But yeah, the new place is so much better. The other one looked so small.
The joke works even if you didn't know Woolie's old apartment, so I thought that you were actually surprised while making it.

"Here's x-23 theme at the beginning." Already off to a great start.
Spiritual successor to Fighterpedia. Which is strange because I thought the point of Fighterpedia was to get new people into fighting games
I'd say Fighterpedia is about getting new people into fighting games as a concept.
Where as Scrubguides is about how to actually get into them, like actually getting better.
AustinWritesAboutGames so a sequel to fighterpedia
SEASON 2!
Fighterpedia is Comin' Back........ eventually
Whats fighterpedia? Kappa
Got the Qanba Drone, loving it so much! Thanks for the advice, Woolie! Helped me learn Fighter Z and after Combo practice, I won my first Competitive match!
what stick do i need to lose to daigo in pools?
The rare 1-in-50 factory defect stick. You have it, you're chance of losing jumps from 75% to 95%. You don't have it, just forfeit.

Any
I just picked up the Mayflash f500 fightstick on Amazon, for my first fight stick and it selling for around 90$ I honestly couldn’t be happier. I bought it for dragon ball FighterZ due to my discomfort on the controller, I couldn’t get used to the dpad for my life, and I would mostly play with the analog stick because it was easier for me to make fluid motions, but it was still really awkward. After getting the fight stick I definitely feel like my movements are much more accurate, in button mashing much less, and combos are easier to perform due to your hand being laid out across the board instead of how it is on a controller. If you have the money and want to try it out I recommend the mayflash f500. It’s also fully moddable and it came with a octagon restrictor gate and as well as a Bluetooth plug in for the stick so you don’t need the controller plugged in. 10/10 recommended for retro lovers or those looking for a better way to play
Son-Cholo great stick due to the easy customization and compatibility with pc, PS4, Xbox, AND switch. Swapped out the stick and buttons with sanwa parts and I couldn’t be happier
I got one and it was awesome... And it won't work anymore... I was switching the buttons but for some reason it won't work on my ps4 anymore but it's connected in every correct way but it works great on my 360. I have no idea why... Got any hints?
I love mine! I switched the cheap 8 dollar stick inside with and LS brand stick, w sanwa buttons. Amazing
Cheto13 is densi parts or whatever the d name is on par with sanwa parts?
I have a Mayflash f300 elite and it's great.
Jesus Christ Woolie when's the next Apartment tour? The place looks slick. Also Sanwa ftw.
There was no set up for this by the way. Woolie is just pointing to the fightsticks resting in their natural habitat.
A tour of Woolie's crib while he tells me about fight sticks? Awesome, Very cool video.
I got a obsidian this Christmas and it is one of the best stick I've ever used.
Instead of a it should’ve been an, you were talking about the object and obtaining it.
Woolie always being a G. Its been a while since I’ve caught up but glad to see you’re just as helpful and knowledgeable as usual. Unless if its a David Cage thread, but that’s fine
Whelp now I just play every fighting game with a left joycon
YOU MONSTER
What?? How ???
@@its_tunezz It's like a pad, but with Bluetooth, a horrible analog stick, tiny buttons and no grip
@@PatrickMcCawFitnessOfficial are ya having fun???
@@its_tunezz ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I don't play fighting games so should I buy a arcade stick
Devon Palmer no not at all
diego bandy gotcha I'll buy ten
Up to you in the end, any game that doesn't require a right analog stick for something like camera control can usually be played easily. Any old time arcade games like pac-man and the like through emulators. I started playing project DIVA X with my HORI for the hell of it one day and came within 2000 points of my top score from pad after a couple runs. That said though it can be a niche accessory so like Woolie said, if you're not feeling it or can't justify spending money on something that may not get a lot of use don't.
Gotta get those spark turns in PAC somehow
There are a couple non-fighting game genres I like arcade stick for (many shmups, Windjammers, some puzzle games including Magical Drop) but unless you find yourself playing anything like that a lot, most other genres these days rely heavily on analog stick input, which arcade sticks are bad for.
decided to move to stick today cause my thumbs getting calluses from the d pad
Oh good God, that Terry Crews stick rofl! XD
As someone who doesn't play fighting games and has no interest in owning an arcade stick, I found this video pretty compelling.
I'll defend the Hori Fight Stick Mini with my life, that thing has been a work horse for me
The advantage of the elastic parts in the Korean joysticks is a faster and more precise return to neutral. This is of most value to a game like Tekken, with neutral blocking and lots of quick double-tap motions. Whereas for games with lots of twirling motions like Street Fighter, it adds more resistance, requiring more effort to complete movements and making the lighter cases more difficult to keep stable in your lap.
Never used a fighting stick before but my partner offered to help me build one from scratch so thanks so much for going in-depth on parts!
Huge thanks for this video, it’s my how-to. I’ve been thinking about buying for a long time, had a little extra cash and bought an Obsidian. Feels great, and I’m excited to revisit my favourite games in this fun, new, crazy new way.
Huh. The JoJo's Themed Stick @ 8:56 is mine. Recycled some part 3 manga that was damaged.
I don't like Jojo but I can appreciate the work that went into it bro, good job.
Thanks Woolz for another episode of Scrubguides and taking the time to reach out to new fighting game players or those with passing interests in them and not just leaving us to the shankrush pits. The joke gets made, but it's really hard to get into fighters and having someone give some base to intermediate level info that's easy to understand is super helpful.
Great Guide Woolie! There is one other major downside to playing on a stick that often gets ignored and that is SOUND. Arcade Sticks are NOISY, even the "silent buttons". This is for everyone that lives with other people, arcade sticks are noisy and other people might not enjoy the sound of pressing the buttons and the moving of the lever.
Yeah I didn’t really take that into consideration, trying to figure out some ways to make my button press is a bit more silent
Core-A Woolie
How exactly did the dragon break? I mean I can understand if like the jfl or the buttons gave out, but those could be easily fixed and from the way you discribe it, it sounds like the pcb just ate shit and gave out.
A stick like that should have a pretty robust warranty too, unless he went and voided it somehow...
A PCB can also be replaced. I don't get why anyone would let an expensive arcade controller die, even more so if they enjoyed playing with it.
I’m a passive fighting game fan but I must say, Woolie you’re doing God’s work with these videos!
I've been a keyboard warrior my whole life, so seeing that Hitbox stickless stick thing really made me curious..
Woolie low-key flexing to his subscribers with his kick-ass apartment.
Bakatyler those Dante and Virgil statues tho
UniCom THE EVERYTHING THO
Something to keep in mind for PC players - different games can be funky about using multiple controllers. SF4 works fine, but SF5 would refuse to acknowledge any additional controllers, meaning I'd have to unplug both my gamepad and stick, then plug my stick back in to get to work. I have a Qanba Q1, and due to that it's just collecting dust, since I switched full time to pad rather than waste time plugging stuff in and out.
did you try joy2key?
No, that might work for anyone reading this.
As a guy who just bought a stick and had to learn it all the hard way, this video is amazing. Its gonna be super helpful for anyone going forward! Thanks for all the great info and breaking it down for all us fighters out there!
Thanks for making this video. I'm actually getting my very first fight stick this Christmas so I'm excited to see how I like it
I have been buying crappy fight sticks for many years, thank you for this guide as I am now going to hopefully purchase the last fight stick I will need for a while
All this said about the low-end sticks, while you are getting what you pay for in the sub $100 range, the HORI fightstick mini is, in my experience, totally solid in terms of buttons and parts. None of mine have gotten stuck, and the stick itself is very responsive and sturdy. It's _tiny_, and it will move around a bit. Those of us with bigger hands will find there's a strain on your wrists and comfort after extended play than on a, for example, HORI RAP. But it's functionable and durable.
If you want to see if you like playing on a stick, personally, I feel like that's a great jumping in point. You'll spend more total when you get a really solid fightstick, but if you hate the experience, you'll only have sunk $50.
This is just my opinion, though! I like the mini, and think it's a great entry-level stick.
This! I'm a very casual fightgame player, but I've been pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy the Hori fightstick mini. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone on the fence.
Same deal here. Haven’t had it for a while but I am very much enjoying it. Would prefer an octagonal restrict instead of the square though.
"Use the cross"
WOOLIE AGAIN WITH THE RELIGIOUS ANECDOTES
As someone who used a pad for years, swapping to fightstick was an objective upgrade to my gameplay. Being able to use my entire hand for playing instead of for holding the controller felt so much more natural and strong for me.
Woolie with his David Cage apartment
I was really hoping he would find another funko pop while showing off his collection.
Woolie VS. is shit I've needed in my life for years. It's good to see someone who genuinely cares about helping people get into/understand fighting games while keeping things decidedly unintimidating. Fucking bless.
I agree 100% that it's all based on preferences, however that also goes for analog stick vs d-pad on the gamepad.
Whatever feels the MOST COMFORTABLE is what you should go for. Whenever I play Street Fighter games, I feel the most comfortable using the analog stick for all inputs. Whenever I play Tekken, I feel the most comfortable using the d-pad for all combos.
The video has a great deal of information and provides awesome advice. Just know that everything is based on preference, including choosing between the d-pad or analog stick.
Learning how to use a fightstick is like learning how to drive. Tricky but so much better than the alternative.
Sloavon Entertainment like driving a... stick shift than an automatic?
I think walking is what he's going for. Ironic, since none of the Zaibatsu drive (or have licenses that I know of.)
except it's not because all games are made for pad now... If you're going to 'upgrade' you should upgrade to a hitbox.
3:12 nice labo setup
I am late for the party, but I thank you so much for making this content you showcased to us, Woolie... sincerely. I appreciate it, very much.
As someone who's played on stick for a long ass time and modifies my own sticks, this is an amazing introduction video for people wanting to get into sticks. Also that White Drago Ranger in the background is SICK.
I guess I'm a weird monster because I only use a 360 controller and only use the stick :x feels way more natural to me than directional pad.
I feel pretty similarly about 360 pads. I typically use the stick since that's closer... and no way I'm using that D-pad, lol.
I use both d-pad and analogic stick. it just feels natural. I can't use an arcade stick for shit though. I use the analog for super jumping and 360 motions.
I use a 360 pad too.That's probably the only reason i use the stick: because the D-pad is a dumpsterfire
It's literally all preference (I use stick on pad for fighting games as well). He kind of loses focus of that when he goes over pad use.
I use the steam controller, and with the right settings, the stick is basically a less snappy than I'd like fight stick, but it works well. The d-pad on the steam controller when using it in haptic is great as well.
I tried an xbone controller and the stick wasn't great for me, I kept doing the wrong inputs.
I’m on my journey for making MY personal stick, and to those interested in GENERAL tips:
1 - Joysticks (the levers) are the priority. They are THE most important thing in the stick, as they dictate what will come out of your inputs.
If you have a low budget, focus on the lever.
2 - Buttons are the second most important thing, however, they depend on how hard you’d like to hit them, as even those on the cheaper side react accordingly if you get where and how to press them.
3 - The case/box/however you wanna callit, is dependant on what you like ( big, small, light, heavy, etc) and how you play ( lap or desk, force or lightness), however I do recommend a weighted bottom, as it helps stabilise your stick.
3.5 - CHEAP and EASY way of weighing your box? Any kind of children’s play dough.
4 - You can postpone buying a better PCB as the improvement you’ll feel isnt AS noticeable as with the other parts mentioned.
Cheers and good luck.
Outstanding video! Thank you so much for the input and guidance. I myself use a Qanba Obsidian. I love it. Glad to see other players taking a liking to it. Thanks again Woolie!
Good video, I started off in the cheapo bracket a while back with the mayflash f300 cause I was just really getting into fighting games and wanted the feel of a stick, I was happy for a bit with it however I found out quickly that one too many 236s and the ball top just popped right off. So I saved up some money and picked up the HORI RAP4 a week or so later and used that for quite a while, and intend to make that my travel stick. I do want to do some custom art work for it, but IMO the buttons are fine and I haven't tried out any other gate restrictor so I don't mind square stock. Finally not too long ago I picked up a dragon, and that thing feels like a beast, it has no give even on your lap. IMO though it's just a bit on the large and heavy side for travel. So going up each bracket I think you did a good job of describing the pros and cons of each bracket and how the feel changes when you spend a bit more. Worth mentioning too, your first time on stick isn't going to be as good if you've played on pad for a while, I dropped a lot of 236's at first because I was hitting the button before the stick came up enough to register the upward arc. Like any fighting game though you just gotta keep at it and get that muscle memory down.
short answer: No.
longer answer: Nooooooooooooo.
Actual answer: Maybe if you really care about it.
I use to think me having two-sticks was excessive...
I've been shown wrong.
It probably still is. The other is just more :^)
I watched this after I'd already ordered and received my stick, but this was still super informative and helpful. Thank you, Woolie!
These videos are excellent. This answered so many questions I've had. Thank you so much for making these Woolz.
What stick do I need for ULTIMATE TEKKEN BOWL?
Sharp eyed viewers might recognize the chun li stick from the Fightstick Etiquette episode of Fighterpedia!
Probably the best CZcams video on fight sticks!!
🕹
I'm new to fight sticks and I bought a Qanba drone to start trying out the feeling of playing with a fight stick. I really can't complain about it, I even love my drone. Feels and plays very decent for a relatively cheap purchase and now I'm thinking about getting a custom stick with sanwa parts to get the upgrade I'm craving.
I will now let my son play with the drone while I play with my better custom stick.
Nice video!
So, question of clarification. That Chun Li stick you made, that you were showing off at the end, you just wired arcade parts to a standard console controller? Like, gutted an xbox controller and wired it together? I just want to make sure I got that right, because my in-laws want to make a cabinet with an emulator so they can play all their old retro games, and I was thinking of doing this for them, but I wasn't 100% sure it would work.
yes. that is how you make modern builds of sticks. you use your spare controllers take heir inside parts away and wire it to the arcade case
Where can I get one that blows smoke at my face when I'm 2-0 against the CPU?
Or the one that summons a knife to be on my peripheral vision at all time?
Please, Woolie, answer me... I'm scared.
What
the qanba drone has been a great begginer stick for me, ive had mine for two years and its held up through many games of third strike and sf4.
Woole! I recently got a mayflash F500. Personally I think it's a pretty good stick. I got it mostly for a second player stick/customization. For $90 i think it's a good purchase.
For the Street Fighter 4 series, I recommend an arcade stick and not a regular controller.
great video woolie, although i disagree with your opinion on the hori products. i started on a hori rap iv kai so my opinion is a lil biased but i do have some research to back my claims. While the hori hyabusa stick may feel a little more loose than a sanwa, the quality build i think is far superior. the only issue on that is if you need an octogate only focus attack sells them unless you can Frankenstein a sanwa one on which people do. The sanwa stick is fine, but i got use to the Hori and with the 1.5lb spring and oversized acuator, it feels so much better. I even attached a jlf link so traveling would be easier and wouldnt require me to buy a special bag (moved from South Carolina to Las Vegas and was able to put it in my luggage with no issues. ) As for the buttons, Sanwa tend to break on me much faster than the Hyabusa buttons. Sanwas to me have a weird cheap feeling and I used them for almost a full year because the original Hori buttons, the Kuro were just god awful. When Arcadeshock got the hyabusa buttons I literally had to set a timer so I wouldnt miss the chance to purchase them. Best decision I made because Ive had these buttons since March of last year and I havent had to replace one yet, just clean the inside and corners with a little rubbing alcohol and it works like new again. Also the plastic feels more sturdy than the sanwa. When i use to order sanwa buttons i would almost get double what i need because I somehow always snap a side and now the button moves on the stick. Also the matte finish gives the button a certain grippy feeling. The only drawback to the Hyabusa's are they are limited in color, with no clear translucent option as of yet. All in all your information was correct and I'm glad you made a video to help new fighting game players make a decision. Sucks too about the Qanba dragon failing on you, such a nice stick to have something major fail on you. I use the Razer Panthera now, my favorite stick and will probably only buy Razer sticks because all my razer products have worked amazing over the years. A razer panthera with the hyabusa sitck and buttons are perfect for me. Also with Korean sticks, they have a rubber grommet and Ive heard that the rubber expands due to heat so that along with no option to use a jlf link made me stick with japanese sticks.
Thanks for this video Woolie. I’ve been a casual fighting game fan since ‘08 and have always wanted to get a stick. I used to have a chart for whenever I decided to get one, but now I have a more reliable and updated source. Thanks for the tips.
Ive been playing stick for half a decade but still decided to watch this video
Was anybody else on the look out for hidden Funko Pops?
Yes
Chad Connelly I was convinced there would be one in the rafters behind him but alas, my dreams are crushed.
Dont buy a cheap one
I moved on to an good one after 1 month of cancer
I agree with buying something decent, but I have to say some manufacturers are doing a real solid job. Check out the mayflash F500. Going to replace the buttons and stick on mine.
P W hori fight stick mini hurt my wrist, never going cheap again after that experience. $79.99 to me is an expensive stick
Depends on where you live. In my country, buying an used Mayflash F500, then changing the parts to Sanwa parts and changing the PCB was still cheaper than any of the "mid range" sticks (to give you an idea, just add 50/80 dollars to the price and you'll understand while I wasn't very excited about putting around 200 dollars in a Hori RAP).
I was about to buy a Hori Mini but decided to splurge for the Razer Panthera. Glad with my decision.
I'm not even particularly in the market for a fight stick but still found this to be super interesting. Great video Woolz!
Your Sunset is from Tekken tag tournament 2
My favorite Tekken 😍😍😍
MK11 Competition reveal..
Time to buy Arcade Stick :X
Edit: ordered Lioncast Arcade Fighting Stick
I hope its good atleast for start..
Edit: everyone suggest to mod
I hope its worth to try..
Does anyone else use their arcade sticks for other games besides fighters?
Disgaea 5 on stick is maximum comfy.
Personally, I really feel that the Mayflash F300 is a good starter stick. It's what I have and I like it quite a lot. There's also the Mayflash F300 Elite that costs a bit extra, but has those wonderful, beloved Sanwa parts!
I chuckled seeing the qanba drone, i had one and hadn't even used it for a month before it broke on me. Decided to get a hori fighting edge which Im waiting on. Im glad people made it very clear a stick wont make you better and sometimes youll play worse, but most people find it more pleasing on the hands so im looking forward to it.
holy shit why has nobody ever actually done a series for people knew to fighting games, like ffs, every fighting game youtuber always just assumes i have pre-existing knowledge of fighting games like button combinations and names for attacks and its why i havent played a fighting game since tekken 3 with my big brothers i hope this series continues
Just use training mode for an hour, it's not hard to get started.
you missed the point of my message entirely...training mode in fighting games is almost never as well defined or user friendly to newcomers as other genre of games tutorials, most fighting games refuse to bridge the gap between newcomers and novices. if I don't know universal fighting game terminology, no in game tutorial will ever teach me.
Christ man, how did you break a Dragon?! I swear I could hit a guy with mine, put it back down and keep playing with it...
Great video as always woolie! I actually just did my own research from scrap starting in mid January (didnt know anything about sticks but i have been playing fighting games for a while now) and from researching i also went for the obsidian!!! Watching this vid just really reassured me, thought of going for the crystal at first but seeing as i saw the online discussion about how top notch sanwa parts are ive decided to get rid of an extra 50$ to be pleased for the long run, should get it next week! SO HYPE! WE GOIN' IN!!!
KEEP UP THE HYPE WOOLIE!
if you guys want a cheap fightstick with quality parts, i recommend the mayflash arcade stick f300 elite. comes with sanwa parts and it works on literally everything. i've been using mine for years and it still feels good as new. it comes with a square gate tho, so if you dont like that you can just swap it with a different gate like i did (octagon gate rise up)
Damn, his flat though! 0_0
Why am i watching this? I own 3 sticks already!
Great video! Learned quite a few things. Can’t wait to see what other Scrubguides you put out!
I've been waiting for a video like this since the Scrublord days. Thank you Black Otaku Senpai. I hope someday you will decimate me online and I will do my best to not become a salt mine.
isn't this just fighterpedia?
Wooliepedia
Shhhhhhhh
What's fighterpedia?
TMcKeon408 its a series that woolie and matt did a few years ago on the main channel its pretty great you should check it out
I know what fighterpedia is, I'm just making fun of it.

Playing with an arcade stick is so much more engaging and it feels more like an active hobby than a static thing. And buying arcade sticks keep srcade history going. LS-32 and JLF are both from somewhere in the mid 80's. Sekmitsu is my thing and I own all models currently on the market. LS-40-01 and PS-14-GN and Hori VLX Premium are my favorite combination ever.
I bought a qanba drone and Sanwa JLF stick and The Buttons you recommended to mod it with. Thanks Woolie!
I have a Sega Saturn OEM arcade stick brand new, I have to get an adapter for it so I can play it on PC.
Wait, you mean to tell me that most people use the D-pad on the controller?
Yes
@@sirap8153 the fuck’s wrong with you guys
Yes
@@dralakba-dusk31 I’d rather play with a steering wheel than any D-Pad
I have been anticipating this for AGES ^^
I would also like a pad-guide video...
I love Woolie, Pat, Mat, and that guy without cookies!
Ever since for first fighting game I got and looked up on CZcams (Melty Blood), I've been a fan.
THIS IS AWESOME!
I've been looking forward to this video. Don't have a fight stick yet, I don't play fighters in competition, but I really enjoy them casually so I haven't made that jump to more serious hardware yet. This is a great guide for me and others like me that would like to make that jump eventually but don't know where to begin.
"It's really awkward and wired to do a quarter circle" **laughs in GameCube controller**
Using the dpad is the worst though
smokejaguar986 I have no idea how some people use the dpad
You get used to it.
smokejaguar986 not really, d pad is great with charge characters and is easier to time just frame inputs
Though as a whole stick is still better especially for button inputs
what
what
WHAT!!!
I can do backdash cancels in Tekken with a d-pad, however I can't do it with my Arcade Stick.
I picked up the SF IV stick you showed at the beginning of the video for $10 at a thrift store. It works great.
The Mayflash F500 is my suggestion to anyone who is new to sticks and wanting to get in. It's $80 depending on where you find it, but the parts it comes with are all Sanwa clones. The parts work well and if you need to, you can pay the $2ish/part to replace everything with Sanwa parts. It's also got plexi held down with magnets that let you easily replace the artwork and is compatible with everything. It also comes with both a square and octagonal gate so it lets people decide what they prefer.
It's one of the best sticks I've used and after swapping out parts for Sanwa it's the best investment I've made since I started in the FGC.
Been considering buying a stick for a while now. Perfect video. Thanks.
I’ve even used a thumb stick for fighting games. There’s also a good in-between in the form of a fight pad.
Great vid. The first option is the cheapest and gives you the most options if you're a casual player. Do a quick google search and you can find a decent stick that's easy to mod at a good price. Shop around bit more, and you should be able to find a Sanwa replacement stick and buttons at your door for under $30. I have a stick on my 360 that still works great.
i'm glad you made this video. it's a lot easier just to send this video than me explaining it to some one. well detailed. 10/10 very nice.
