Do any of you use a stick outside instead of a controller? I never have outside of an arcade.
I play every game that is feasible to do so with an arcade stick, as it is my preferred input type. My personal set-up is -Original Seimitsu LS-32 with Matsushita Switches-Seimitsu PS-14-G 30mm pushbuttons-Qanba Crystal modded with above partsI also have several other arcade sticks modded with other parts but the above is my default controller.
>>12626660Fighting game guys do, I'm sure some shmup guys do as well. I have a couple I got cheap at funcoland back in the day but none are great. The snes one was pretty solid but outside of the typical arcade genres they're not that useful. Like I might use it for r type, tmnt or sf2 but I wouldn't use it for mega man or zelda. I made a couple sticks using some usb encoder and button kits off Amazon that are ok and I use it for mame.
>>12626660i kinda want one for Dreamcast and PS2 because the controllers are only 4 face buttons. otherwise controllers are fine
>>12626665btw this lever and button combo is the stock combination used on Capcom's official arcade cabinets.
I play everything with an arcade stick. mostly NES and SNES games. the lever is just more accurate and more fun than a d-pad.
>>12627973I also have this same arcade stick and it's good enough to the point I'm not sure what I'm missing out on with the Sanwa and Seimitsu hardware.
>>12626660Oh hey, that's how I map the buttons to my keyboard.Anon called me a weirdo for doing it like that.
>>12627980I replaced both the lever and buttons with Sanwa because of the memes. the original buttons are better. the sanwa buttons feel just slightly smoother than the original 8bitdo buttons, but the activation force is annoyingly low on the Sanwa buttons so you will accidentally activate them just resting your finger on them. the Sanwa lever has a bit less travel which is better, but I also put in an oversized actuator and that really made a difference, the diagonals are a lot more natural to hit and the lever is "faster" in general. this is mostly useful for shmups or other 8-way direction games. however, the original lever is a Sanwa clone so you don't need to replace it to mod it with Sanwa parts.
>>12626675I prefer seimitsu lever and sanwa buttons>>12626660love sticks but I'm nomadic and they're too big. in terms of performance they're identical to pad imo but they're just so fun
>>12628007Thanks anon. I might consider a different lever at most then
>>12626675this is wrong, capcom cabinets use sanwa parts
>>12628026That is incorrect. Capcom has never used Sanwa parts on any of their own in-house manufactured cabinets. Please do not spread misinformation about this matte.
>>12628051capcom literally always used sanwas aside from US cabsweird thing to lie to people about, are you okay mate?
>>12628193No, they did not. You are an idiot who doesn't know anything about this subject. Here is the inside of a NOS Street Fighter II control panel. LS-32 and PS-14-E buttons.
>>12627992well it's kinda weird but to each their own(prolly depends on the game)
>>12628212why are there rainbow licorice laces in your cabinet anon?
>>12628279Those are wires you stupid motherfucker
>>12628279I'm sorry I didn't mean to say this >>12628281 I have no idea what came over me, please forgive me
>>12628285i forgive you. i didn't take it badly it made me laugh
>>12626660>Do any of you use a stick outsideNo. Like you, my mommies won't let me go outside or play with sticks.
>>12626660I use a seimitsu ls-58 stick with sanwa buttons for all shmups and rarely some fighting games
>>12628212those are sanwa parts bro
>>12626660I bought a nice arcade stick for 6th generation that had PS2, XBOX, and Game Cube connectors. It was from a company named Pelican which I’m not sure still exists. It also had a batstick instead of ball. Suck it weebs.
>>12626660The only one I've got is the 3 button Mega Drive stick but it's the UK version so it's got the shitey rubber dome stick contacts instead of the switched one the japanese got. I still enjoy it well enough though. One of these days I'll get one of the grey japanese Saturn sticks to match the early JP Saturn I have.
>>12628221Name of movie/show? Context?
>>12629937Don't remember the name of the show but IIRC the guy spent some time in a correctional (?) or similar and he was trying to recover the feeling of a childhood stolen from him. At least that's what I recall from other anons.
>>12630130Interesting. That's only slightly less depressing of my original thought that the guy's [current] life wasn't very good, and he was trying to relive part of his childhood. And failing. No I'm not projecting, you're projecting.
>>12629937don't listen to the other guy. he's crying at how good the game is, despite playing it with the wrong device and on an emulator
Only arcade games. Home console games were designed with d-pads in mind, right, so some platformer with precision demands would probably suck on a stick due to its larger throw.Check out this beauty! This one's for Tekken. For shmups and 2D fighters I have others.
>>12630337>playing it with the wrong deviceIt's an official sega joystick, and Sonic had an arcade release.
>>12630381it's been designed to be played with a controller.by your metric, a touch screen is a proper way to play Sonic
>>12630391It's an acceptable method, yes.
>>12630398'ate touch screensluv me buttonssimple as
>>12630354The dpad only exists because of economic efficiency. A dpad costs like $.02 and a quality arcade lever is like $8 at least. All consoles have arcade stick controllers for them, especially the old school ones like nes and genesis
>>12627992The reverse is also a common mapping for six button games on a 4 button controller.
>>12627980Don't get FOMO. I have this (as well as its Xbox brother), and multiple Sanwa sticks. Due to the size it's not as mod-friendly and not very comfy on your lap, but all in all a great product. 8BitDo makes good shit.
>>12627980The sense I get is the 8bitdo arcade stick is good enough for "casual" arcade use, but not fighting game use. I don't own one though,
>>12626660For fighting games and beating them ups, sometimes
>>12626660I do almost all my retro gaming on my arcade stick; I find it much more ergonomic than any pad I've ever used.
