I recently picked up an arcade stick and man I stink with it! haha. Still a lot of fun though. Thanks for all the vendor sites and recommendations. And hey I dig the retro cardinals jersey. I'm from STL myself.
Oh dope man you are already family lol bro stick with the stick for about 3 months and you will start getting really good with it. The time invest is the time you will get out.
recently converted to leverless (Snackbox Micro) and I'm so glad I took the leap of faith, was pretty worried I dropped almost $300 to not like it (never tried leverless before). Once accustomed to the layout, this easily beats out the fightstick and pad for me. Less wrist fatigue that a fightstick and less dropped inputs than a dpad, a win-win for me! I would've tried the Kitsune if it had Xbox compatibility also
Enjoyed the video. I've never had a fighting stick, and have been looking into getting something for solo play. I'm interested in something that could hopefully work on all the 7th Gen consoles. Also a bit of haresy, I want something wireless. Any suggestions within that narrow scope? So far the closest I've found is the Tekken 6 stick.
Funny enough the cheap sticks on Amazon are Bluetooth they might be what you could look into or go the DIY route. There is a brook PCB that allows you to go wireless.
Thanks for the rundown. Me personally although I enjoy my Victrix pro fs5. My biggest gripe is that my stick came with a loose joystick and that it will sometimes not register df on 2p side. I know all I have to do is replace the joystick to l fix it but for 400$ I’d rather just play on my pearl that I modded and still feels great and runs on all the games I play. Sorry for the rant just needed to get it out of my system 😅
Also I'm gonna shout out the mayflash f500.... yes, yes you gotta plug it into a controller, but you get a great entry level stick that is highly moddable for the low, low of $80.. or, shit, the elites (all sanwa parts) for $150
the F300 sits at roughly 49 - 59 dollars. You can't be mad at that price. It really is a good deal. but that dang controller part is so annoying man lol
For the 250 it cost is there anything else you would recommend over it if you was spending that type of money. First time buyer but don’t want something too cheap. I want something right out the box that’s great and as I start to learn more about the stick I can mod it. So for that 250 price range do you think that’s a good way to go. I appreciate your help
Simple answer is get the Hori Alpha. Razor is focused on their new devices and unless you are getting it used from Amazon or eBay you aren’t going to get your hands on a panthera. Lastly I would say just get what your gut tells you both are easy to mod you are probably not going to keep any of the original parts anyway. The parts are practically the same. You are buying most premium arcade sticks for the case not the parts.
okay nice :) been searching for a new stick for a while, have a TES+ Tournament edition but kinda getting ghost inputs on it. really looking forward playing tekken 8 on this one @@MDSoulTV
@@MDSoulTV haha nah, they are cool, i just get the old skool house party vibes lol, good times. Keep up the good content bro, and plz review a f700 elite when you're able to.
@@MDSoulTV it’s a behemoth for sure lol. My first arcade stick was a Street Fighter Anniversary Collection stick by NubyTech which I had modded with Happ parts and dual PCBs (PS1/X360). Hardly a small stick itself. The Dragon is well described as the Cadillac of arcade sticks, speaking to its girth and high-end nature. It’s a lot more than I need, but I’m proud to own it. I did end up installing a round gate to better replicate that Happ movement I’ve always loved. Great video! I’ll be mashing these buttons, too
Just bought a 4TW enclosure for the leverless I'm building. Glad to see the mention.
Yeah I know Jony personally he is a great dude
So many questions answered and needed information, great vid overall, looking forward to more vids like this indeed.
It’s the break downs that are needed you think?
@@MDSoulTV yes indeed , very helpful

Hey that’s more than fair and I respect that stance. I think I just feel like a kid at the arcade lol 😂 so I stick to levered. Thanks for watching!!!

LOL its ok to let it out. It be like that some time and thanks for sharing! Yes for 400 big one it better work right out of bock no issues
Hori fighting edge. Straight brushed silver. My favorite stick
Oh yeah absolutely!!! It’s a great stick!! It’s hard to come by now and it’s a shame. On eBay it’s going for almost 500 dollars.
Best arcade stick video I’ve seen on Al gores internet
Well thanks you lol 😂
I got two DIY arcade stick cases from two different countries but I do it for the modding hobby and not for the competitive nature.
I completely understand!! It is so much fun! Competing isn’t for everyone. Instead of being a sneaker head I feel like I am an arcade stick head lol
Good look!
Appreciate it
I own the Razer Kitsune Chun Li Edition. I LOOOVE how the optical switches feels. It is very responsive.
Dope! Do you have other leverless controllers?
@MDSoulTV yes I own the Victrix FS12. That one feels more comfortable and better for the lap.
@@edco2012 Oh it doesnt slide off at all? NICE!!!

What you guys think about the nacon Daija arcade stick
Oh that one is nice! It reminds me a lot of the razor arcade stick that they had on the PS4

@@miltona891 qanba obsidian or the one version right below that. They have really good arcade sticks.
Hey mate !
Can you give me pros and cons between Hori alpha SF6 edition vs Razer panthera OG
I got confused to choose which is better fo me to buy
Simple answer is get the Hori Alpha. Razor is focused on their new devices and unless you are getting it used from Amazon or eBay you aren’t going to get your hands on a panthera.

i just orderd a Qamba Pearl is it good? have not recieved it yet
They are very nice in my opinion. Really solid go to arcade stick.
okay nice :) been searching for a new stick for a while, have a TES+ Tournament edition but kinda getting ghost inputs on it. really looking forward playing tekken 8 on this one @@MDSoulTV
@@Ludde00 the TEs shouldn’t work at all most of those PS4 sticks shouldn’t work unless you have a brook wingmen.
forreal? im playing on pc so that might be why? idk@@MDSoulTV
Yes PC is will do it all
You're like a cross between Play off house party and Shawn Wayans off Scary Movie.
@@Xbot4Life thanks I guess lol 😂 I not take that as an insult lol 😂
@@MDSoulTV haha nah, they are cool, i just get the old skool house party vibes lol, good times. Keep up the good content bro, and plz review a f700 elite when you're able to.
@@Xbot4Life I did! Check the video and pretty recent at that.
@@MDSoulTV oh rlly, I'll check that out. Thanks
@@MDSoulTV hold on, was it the f700 or f700 elite?
I got a Qanba Dragon a couple Christmases ago, and boi…
It’s a monster of a controller right!?!?! If I can find one for the low I am going to get it. I think they are running pretty high right now.
