Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightStick - Tournament Edition

I am officially taking back everything I said about this stick. I got a great deal on eBay for this, for a mere $100 with free shipping. I must say, this is THE BEST stick I've ever used. I will finish making my custom sticks, but I will have to make this my primary, and install a Cthulhu with an Imp switch to dual mod it for the PS3.

Update: I decided to use a hardware DPDT switch instead of the Cthulhu because its cheaper and lets you keep system compatibility set - eliminating the need to hold down a button each time you connect to the secondary system. (Say, if I ever need to leave the stick hooked up to my PS3 while the 360 is away for its 5th RROD repair...)

Ultra Combo Finish!

I just replaced the punch buttons on my BD stick with Seimitsu PS-14-GN 30mm Pushbuttons. These buttons improved the likelihood of an Ultra Combo coming out! So, I guess the Sanwas were too sensitive, after all... I must admit that it was a very quick test, so I'll have to see how it is once I've played some matches, but overall I'm very pleased with the new buttons!
