Custom arcade stick

Conor · Nov 2008

I've been playing a lot of Street Fighter 4 on my lunchbreaks, so in preparation for it coming out on console next year I decided to pimp out my arcade stick. Everyone does fighting game art on arcade sticks though, so I decided to be different...

More photos and complete build instructions here.

Anyone else got a custom stick?

You could also go for a simple palin color aswell, might look nice. PINK I'd say!

BTW I just dremeled the Sanwa square gate on mine to make it a smooth regular circle gate stick. Much much more enjoyable than square in my opinion!

I just picked up a 360 DoA4 stick (and a PS3 Fighting Stick 3) for the cave ports coming in the next few months. Replaced the normal shaft with a JLF-FP. Just need to cut down the lowest plastic block so it moves freely.

The default stick is good enough but I need at least a sanwa balltop. Don't like the hori ones.

I'll probably end up putting a DDP or new astro overlay on it.

That stick looks great Pior! I can't imagine why you'd want a circle gate though! I'm so used to the square gate from playing in arcades I can't switch. A lot of the SF 3 players here like the octagonal gate, but I've more experience with Virtua Fighter and DOA so I really need the square gate.

Bort - post pics when it's done!

Will do. It's taken me long enough to knock up a DDP Instruction sheet (still a lot to do) so getting round to doing the overlay after the easy mod will probably take a while.
