Would have bought a different stick on Play-Asia; however, it was discontinued. :( I even had a coupon too. >:(

Not going on ebay or online either because the shiping is ridiculously expensive. :p

Kinda have a good feeling with the US Tatsunoko stick. Plus i have a Gamestop 1 min from my house (Which is where i preordered it. :p). If in the event the parts aren't Sanwa, no biggie. The stick still has Tekkaman Blade on it (In the link below). :D

Looking at some pics of the TvC joysticks, they appear to be the same quality as the SF4 joysticks that MadCatz also made for the PS3 and X360. The one thing that I am not able to tell is if it is the Sanwa parted Tourney Edition joystick, or the Semitsu parted Standard Edition.

My educated guess, judging by the pictures, is that it is the one that uses Sanwa parts. Which are far superior to the Hori, which uses Semitsu parts. However, if it does use Semitsu parts, then you're better off with the Hori's you already have. Unless you like the artwork. Anywho, I managed to find a pic of this TvC joystick that I used to base my opinion and guess on.

lol enk, the madcatz se sticks don't use seimitsu parts.it uses madcatz parts, which are cheap knockoffs (similar in quality to hori's current gen of parts), which are garbage quality compared to actual seimitsu parts, which , depending on preference, are of equal or better quality than sanwa parts.

madcatz te's and hrap sa's come with sanwa. they are the only 2 options for quality parts off the shelf- anything else is about equal in sub-par quality (as far as japanese style parts- i know you love your happs enk)

Bleh, by the looks of it, it is the crappy parted joystick as Godspu described. I was doing some looking around and saw pics of the standard edition SF4 joystick, and it looks exactly like the ones they are making for the Wii.

yeah the $80 stick is crap. Buttons feel like shit and the stick has that washer issue. Stick with the Hori or go all the way to the TE...ooor buy the $80 and but new parts.

Those aren't semeitsu buttons in the SF4 stick. I took out my SANWAs to put in semietsus, they're awesome...SANWAs are too sensitive imo. Lot of accidental hitting or not pulling off far enough with double clicks.
