Best Arcade Stick for Soul Calibur 4?

[epicvandal]

So i'm looking for a good arcade stick for my 360 to play SC4 with, anyone have any suggestions?

I've been out of the fighting game scene for quite some time and have no idea where to start looking for reviews of sticks... anyone able to help me outs?

The only one I've ever really heard of is the Hori EX2. Reviews have always been very positive from what I've seen. Its wired, if that matters.

They have a Standard one (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox360-Fighting-Stick-EX-2/dp/B000V02P6Q/ref=pd_cp_vg_1?pf_rd_p=413862701&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000E0S0OO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0VV1D3NWWNWB7GS9D82T), and then a "Soul Calibur 4 Limited Edition (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox360-Fighting-Stick-EX-Calibur/dp/B0018OCJ5Q/ref=pd_cp_vg_0?pf_rd_p=413862701&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000E0S0OO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0VV1D3NWWNWB7GS9D82T)" that just has a SC4 graphic in place of the generic white and green one. Each usually costs the same. Amazon seems to have the SC4 one for $6 dollars off right now.

I think I'm gonna get the SC4 one. :)

BTW - In case anyone is interested, Hori also offers a PS3 arcade stick in a Standard (http://www.amazon.com/Hori-UHP3-01-PS3-Fighting-Stick/dp/B000MWE3BI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1217629779&sr=1-1) and Soul Calibur 4 edition (http://www.amazon.com/Playstation-Soul-Caliber-Arcade-Stick/dp/B0018OCJ60/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1217629779&sr=1-4). I don't own a PS3 so I haven't really checked out any reviews for it.

I have a SlikStik Classic (2 player) usb controller for the PC that I'd love to get working properly with the ps3/360. I tried hooking it up to the ps3 and it worked fine for navigating the cross-media bar but didn't register within SC4. SlikStik went out of business so I don't think there is any hope of getting it fully working with anything other than the pc.

I have the Hori stick for PS3 and it works great. Nice build quality and responsive. The only issue I have with the smaller joysticks is they tend to move around during use.

I'd hope there was a converter for PS2 -> 360 and use a standard HRAP (with sweet, sweet Sanwa buttons sent down from heaven, for ultimate responsiveness) or something.

If not that, I heard the stick Hori released with VF5 was OK (cheap so you can replace it/parts whenever it breaks down); straight 360 connector.

I'd stay away from those if I were you. I've heard some pretty terrible things about them.

Like what? Do they eat babies and vomit on the poor?

That the quality of everything in it is piss poor. Buy a HRAP (Hori Real Arcade Pro) or something, put some Sanwa buttons in it and enjoy a good stick with the most sensitive and awesome buttons you can find in it instead.

Buy it here (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rrr.html) and read this (http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/pro-arcade-sticks~mas~hori~/hori-s-real-arcade-pro-3-hrap-3-for-sony-ps3-pre-order-hrap3-accessories-detail.htm) very short but sufficient introduction to it.
