no comment @ sf2 stick being the best lets just say I disagree after using it for a while. Looks nice and all a dat but its not really all that great for competition (waits for baego to come babble )

Arcade Sticks ain't cheap you get what you pay for. To get a GOOD stick you can pay upward of 100US (without shipping I might add). It comes down to what kind of stick you want American or Japanese ball top. Personally I prefer the latter because my stick uses it and when it comes to console fighters I use my stick because I suck donkey balls on pad... anyways

A few links for you to check

good choices.

both the xarcade and streetfighter anniversary edition got mediocre reviews but that doesn't mean they won't fit your arcade fighting bill.

Not too long ago, we had a celebrity player from the states wtfpwn ALL competition on the island using the street fighter anniversary stick. I mean total and utter domination of the competition.

So even though the reviews say it isn't perfect, the stick can do the job.

Personally, I like the japanese style (hori) for street fighter and the american style for Tekken.

A good pad is a cheap substitute for both and easier to carry around. Resigned myself to that for the time being.

My current weapons.

Capcom StreetFighter type games: Sega Playstation 6 button gamepad
SNK KOF / Namco Tekken/Soul Calibur type games: Sony Playstation 4 button gamepad.
