Hori occasionally does limited runs on their HRAP series sticks. the regular HRAP's mostly use a sanwa JLF + hori stock buttons

SA = Sanwa, meaning the whole stick is fitted with all sanwa parts
SE = Seimitsu, meaning the stick is fitted with all seimitsu parts

In short the SA/SE just has better buttons

Is an SE stick even worth it? I've heard they break over just a couple of weeks. Is this complete bull? Also with SF4 I've been getting used to an 8-button layout, one for 3P and one for focus, which is REALLY handy when doing focus-cancles and whatnot. I'd hate to not have this feature. Guess I'm going to have to cash out for a TE. Sigh.

Edit: Official ones that is.

FYI, tournaments often forbid stick users from mapping buttons to things like 3P or focus. You're restricted to just the 6 attack buttons, and moves that require 2 or 3 buttons must be executed by pressing 2 or 3 buttons, just like in an arcade setup.

Pad users, since it's nearly impossible for them to hit 2 or 3 buttons consistently, can almost always have buttons like 3P and 3K.

I ended up getting an SE stick $99, and swapping the parts for $65. Not really too bad considering TE sticks were $180 then and no one had any stock. I prefer the form factor of the SE as well, less bulky. My friend got an SE at the same time and didn't swap the parts, the buttons are becoming noticeably shittier.

Hey guys I'm a a total fighting game noobie and I'm thinking of purchasing SF4 for pc.

After reading a couple of pages in this thread it seems it's pretty necessary to purchase an arcade stick. Is this true? Does someone using an arcade stick have an advantage over someone who uses a standard controller pad?

Thanks.

I think a pad is fine, especially in a game like SF4. I guess it's going to be tough doing 720s on a pad but I think only one character needs that.

For me the main advantage is it's more fun and no stress on the thumb joints.
No I'm never serious.

a pad player got top 5 in marvel of all games at east coast throwdown. I know a local gg player learned it on pad for a long while. Not necessary in the least

There actually was a keyboard player at the last 3s tournament I went to. had found a way to hook a keyboard up to a ps2 to play o.o

A stick is something you get because youve been playing fighters for a while and want to be able to play on arcade setups and any system without losing 95% of your execution.

And theyre amazingly more comfortable to play on once you get used to em. I recently played through final fantasy 8 on stick purely because I find regular controllers uncomfortable now >.>

Long story short: save your money. Buy it when youve invested the time to make it worthwhile.

Keyboard is GREAT aslong as you play QCF characters, I think I'd go as far as to say you can execute moves faster than with a stick tbh. Also I'm pretty pissed that none of the stores got the game on release. Now I have to fucking wait 4 more days. GRRRRRR.

Faster. Much faster. (That's not me or anything, but keyboards are generally faster. Double tapping is also a hell of a lot easier on keyboard.)

No, it is not necessary to purchase an arcade stick.

It's generally agreed that a stick is better than a pad and MUCH better than a keyboard for execution, HOWEVER it takes practice to learn to use a stick better than a pad or a keyboard. After all, you probably have experience already playing with pads and pressing keys, but not with using a joystick, so you need to overcome that gap first before a stick becomes superior.

Downloaded pirated version to see if it worked on my laptop; Runs smooth! Took a while to configure the PS3 controller on WIN7 but I got everything to work. Pre-ordered! 35$ is a hell of a price

i guess we should start to add each other to steam :D

wtf?

How is it easier to double-tap a tiny key, surrounded by other tiny keys, than it is to double-tap a giant joystick button surrounded by open space?

Not to mention joystick buttons are built to be tapped rapidly. Keyboard keys are not.

Maybe if you've never used a stick before in your life, then it's easier. (Or perhaps you're using the Madcatz SE which is a jokestick.)

Please do us a favour and stop commenting on the merits of keyboards vs joysticks. -_-

Double tapping directional keys that is. Compared to tapping the actual stick.

Seriously, think about it: Joysticks are built for playing games, and these games were made to be played using joysticks. Keyboards are built for typing. Even if someone can play well on a keyboard, that doesn't make it the better input device.
