For sticks, Sanwa and Seimitsu are "standard" depending on what arcade you go to. 3D games almost exclusively use Sanwas, 2D games are more whatever the arcade owner decides- though Seimitsus are fairly popular for Street Fighter and some other 2D games. In terms of quality, they're both pretty similar. Some people say Sanwa feels like a better quality stick but it's pretty subjective. Boils down to preference, really. My HRAP2 is modded with a Seimitsu LS-32-01 and I like it more than the Sanwa JLF, though I can play on a JLF more or less (kinda have to since fubarduck rekindled his love for Sanwas sometime after he convinced me into getting a Seimitsu and most of aUFO's cabinets have Sanwas as a result T_T ) For buttons, though... Sanwas are more of the standard. They're really easy to press and have good response (and people in Japan don't pound buttons as hard as people do in the States). I like Seimitsu buttons (button doesn't activate just by brushing over it, so you get fewer accidental inputs) but yeah, most Japanese and Japanese-style arcades I've been to use Sanwa buttons regardless of what stick brand they are using. It should be noted that the Korean Tekken players got to play on Korean sticks for SBO... forget which brand of Fanta stick they used, maybe Taeyoung Fantas? Don't think they put in Crown buttons though, probably just swapped sticks and left the Sanwa buttons in. (It's actually pretty inexpensive to get Korean parts for a stick! A Saulabi is cheaper than a HRAP for the most part... though both use crappy imitation buttons and it's easier to mod a HRAP's buttons than a Saulabi's) | ||

Good luck to anyone here who's going.  About Sanwa vs Seimitsu: I think Seimitsu sticks have a smaller deadzone than Sanwas? I've also read that Seimitsu sticks are preferred for shoot-em-ups for this very reason. | ||

Wow @ Ryan Hart. Hope he feels better tomorrow. In CvS2, I know BAS and Ricky both use A-groove gayness. I wouldn't be surprised if John Choi and Tokido are also using A-groove. Capcom really needs to stop making custom combos overpowered.  Did any other Japanese players enter 3s or CvS2? | ||

John Choi plays C Groove and has pretty much been playing C (someone)/Ken/Sagat for years now. Tokido originally played N Groove, then switched to A Groove, then switched back to N Groove a while back, don't think he's switched back to A recently. Combofiend plays K Groove mostly, though he plays his wacky A Groove characters (Rolento, Rock, Eagle, Cammy, etc.) pretty well. Buktooth plays N Groove Iori/Morrigan/Hibiki, order/ratio depending on matchup, every game. | ||

 Sometimes he picks Chun Li instead of Morrigan for certain matchups, although I don't understand why. His Morrigan always seemed a lot better. | ||
