It's not a great stick, probably one of the worst to be honest.
Look for a Hori stick.

I can only speak from experience, and the one I have is horrible cheap rubbish, but you never know you might get a later iteration that's a little better...

Once again i'd like to ask you about a question about arcade sticks. The thing is that i have a possibility to buy 2 arcade sticks HSS-0104 imported from Japan. Are they worth getting for 35$ (for both) ? I'd like to play Street Fighter with them, instead of a standard model 2 pad. Will the experience of the gameplay be better when using this sticks ? I heard that their quality is not as good as hss-0136 but they seem to be quite cheap alternative for pad.

yeah i know the 2nd generation virtua stick HSS-0136 only released in Japan is better than HSS-0104 (grey japan version) but I've asked about HSS-0104 because i have a possibility to buy them cheap locally without paying for shipping. Thats why i wonder if they are worth it anyway. I've never played on arcade sticks before, will HSS-0104 be a good thing to start with ?

I have a esclipse stick and I think it isn't bad but I use it more with shumps as I am not the biggest fighting game fan. Those look like pretty cool stick controller though although they would probably be overkill for me.

Thx haightc. I've decided to give these HSS-0104 a try. I ordered two. Nice surprise from my local supplier - one of this arcade sticks is new, boxed with manual I'll inform you guys how it plays with this thing. Street Fighter Alpha is going to be a first game to learn to play with stick.

One thing I will say is these are much softer than you tradition arcade stick. It doesn't have the hard spring back that you maybe used to with traditional arcade sticks. Depending on how you play that maybe a good or a bad thing, IMO $35 for two sticks isn't bad if one if at least one of this sticks are new. You'll probably notice a solid different in between a brand new stick and used one as at least mine softened quite a bit. Which is fine for me because stiff sticks cam seem a little twitchy to me.

This week i've obtained HSS-0104 japanese virtua sticks and what i need to say is: 1) the joystick is quite small comparing to my friend's seimitsu one, but despite it, it gives quite a quality control because it uses micro switches 2) buttons are not as cool as joystick, they dont use micro switches but nevertheless they give me a possibility to hit some combinations better than playing with a standard model2 pad 3) the whole arcade stick seems to be solid thing. For this price i think it was worth it. Plays quite cool with Street Fighter. For me - a guy who starts his adventure with arcade sticks - it is a good and cheap way to start.

I want the hori fight stick I know just by looking at it, that it has amazing performance. Also can someone shed some light on how are the hori controllers there cheap and look like they may work also.

It's definitly worth a buy if you can find a brand new one. I wouldn't trust 2nd hand ones though as the connecters seem a bit flimsy which is a problem I'm experiencing with my one atm.

So I just got that Hori ss fighting stick, how does it compare to the ASCII stick? That's similar to a street fighter 2 joystick. The ASCII was cheaper and looked good, looks are deceiving tho. Also does Hori fight stick feel, or almost identical to a Neogeo stick? Ultimately what I want. I've adjusted to the short knob type over the longer ones.
