    Fighting game Joystick for PS2

    So I found out yesterday I really really suck at SF Alpha 2 & 3 when I use a gamepad. Anyone have a recommendation of a good fighting game joystick for ps2? I had a great one for the psx that I got when I bought Soul Edge, but yea, doesn't do me much good now.

    make one yourself to be honest. i did it for my dreamcast when i had it and MvC2.

    just make a wide heavy box, buy the buttons and arcade joystick and plenty of wire and get to splicing lol.

    you sir have to be smoking some major crack. analog is so much better then digital on a fighting game, and i can't deal with just using the thumb sized analog stick. I need something to grip.

    Well that goes back to the other topic when we discussed Virtua Fighter 5... if I had an arcade-type controller, i'm sure it would be way more fun and will last a lot longer if I had a controller for it heh.

    I don't think PS3 currently has one ... the 360 should though, so I might just wait for it to be released.

    As for the PS2 ones, i'm sure there are some around, try gamestop.

    Or you can use the old school Ascii/Hori Arcade Joysticks, which is what i have been using.

    Of course there is always this, if you could find it :D

    Yeah, the Tekken 5 Anniversary stick is really good. I use that for all my fighting games.

    The make one suggestion was the best so far, but if you can track down one of the Hori Soul Calibur 2 JP sticks, I'd recommend that. I've had mine since JP SC2 came out and it's made it through tons of practice, traveling, and tournaments. I don't like SC games, but that stick works well for me for GG, CvS2, 3S, A2, and VF.

    If you are really serious about fighters, buy a custom stick. You can get some recommendations and specify which parts too. Try http://www.shoryuken.com forums to see some guys that will do it. A good custom stick will usually run you about 100 dollars or so. You can probably save about 50 if you do it yourself, but its a lot of hassle.

    My friend has this stick and it works pretty well. The stick and the buttons just feel good. If you need the name to look for it, it's the "Street Fighter Anniversary Edition Arcade Stick".

    I, along with Merona, played a lot of competitive Guilty Gear XX back in the day before I got into FFXI. I travelled a lot to tournaments and stuff to play for money. So, I definitely suggest getting a stick if you are serious about fighters.

    That being said, what kind of stick do you want? American or Japanese style? You prefer your stick to be tight or loose? What kind of buttons do you want? Convex or Concave? If you want an American Style, I'd either buy a MAS or get one custom made since you said you don't want to make one yourself. You definitely don't want to buy a stock American stick cuz they all suck.

    If you want a Japanese style stick, the Tekken stick is also nice. I can also recommend a few others if you're interested, but a lot of the good ones aren't made anymore. Keep in mind a good stick will cost you around 100$.

    Here's a pic of my stick. It was made by Finkle on SRK.

    Made into a link since it's kinda big.

    Not in my opinion. The big clunky arcade joystick is alright, but the smaller one is better. Plus, I do have troubles with the Dragon Punch motion on some arcade machines, particularly the Third Strike machine at my arcade (although the joysticks on those could be somewhat broken).

    I'd spend a lot of money to buy a Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 PS2 version. If I could find it.
