Hori Fighting Stick Alpha not that good?

[AnMaXX]

Hi everyone, I just bought the Hori Fighting Stick Alpha but, if some of you has this same arcade stick, do you even find it not precise and unreliable with special moves, especially Super Arts? I even have fear of pulling out Super Arts because majority of the times, it does a normal special move or just something other I didn't intend to do, so I prefer going for a move that almost surely should be correctly registered by the stick.

If some of you have this same stick, can you please give me some advice if to you it is fine? I feel a bit of buyer's remorse after noticing that the stick isn't that precise or at least to me it isn't.

Learning stick is hard. If you're having trouble building the muscle memory for supers, you might consider replacing the square joystick gate for an octagonal one. I did that, and supers started coming out much more easily. Downside is that it becomes a bit harder to block and do charge moves.

sand small curved notches into each face of the octogate and you can still ride the gate for qcs and also have a bit of tactile feedback into the cardinal directions.
ensure you have a spare octogate in case you dislike it tho.

I actually like the hyabusa parts, the stick feels great in my opinion and the buttons are great. Don't think you need to replace them unless they break, they're good parts.

Checkout focusattack.com most everything you need part while will be there. I just recently changed my spring to make my stick a little less loose and picked up a wider actuator. I got as bullet top for my stick off amazon. I have to agree with not using octo gates in sf i tried it and blocking in crouch was miserable as well as having to hit any diagonal.

I'm surely giving more time to learn the stick, that's for sure, I don't want to think that a Hori stick at this price is a bad quality one, I suppose Hori put thought and quality on this stick both because of their experience and even because of the price it is sold at. I'll take my time and see if things change. :)

Thanks for the website, I was searching for this one since I saw a youtube video where they bought a Fighting Stick Alpha and modded it. Hope they ship in Italy too.

heyyyy i'm glad u'r giving joystick another chance before moving on haha

if u like, modding the bat top / ball top is one of the easiest mod to do,
although a longer lever usually means longer throw and slower input on reaction,
i think korean/tekken heads run bat top coz they constantly double tap up with the thumb for side step

So no Korean lever... :)
