Our very own local scene for PS3 fighting games (specifically for SFIV) is growing by the day. All of a sudden, everyone's a Street Fighter again. And as a fighter, everyone has their own weapon of choice aka joysticks or joypads. Some purchase it of retail shops, some ordered thru the web and some build/mod their own. Here's a chance for you to "share-off" (a cross breed between "show off" and sharing") your sticks! I'll start with my own.

I own 2 sticks right now. One of them is the Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 US-edition (PS3) and another is an immitation Hori Tekken 5 Stick (PS2).

I have yet to take the REAL photo but they look somewhat like this:





The HRAP3 is still in it's original condition (still virgin). While the fake Hori has been dismantled and ready for some plastic surgery. Gonna turn it into a PS3 wireless joystick with custom art.

Now it's your turn. Show me yours.

*unzip pants*

I love mine too

I hope you dont share-off your stick here...

Just kidding la.

finally !!!! operation STICK !!!!

pardon the bad picture quality (phone cam) but just want to share my excitement with you guys on my operation STICK These pictures are taken a few days back and i'll re update them when i have better pictures. The current ones just doesn't do enough justice haha

here are some pics

The back of the buttons , as you can see (hopefully) HRAP3 are blessed with quick disconnects


Although the wires are somewhat organised but it still looks messy for me ... something needs to be done


So, i group them together group 1 = start/select, group 2 = punches, group 3 = kicks , looks much much neater at least to me. Next time i open it up for button change my job would be simpler


and ... the completed product , ladies n gentlemen Here i present to you my chun li STICK


Total damage for this project = rm35 + some Teh O ais limau for my friend

Feel free to comment especially those that have seen it real life ( hatred___, rawfish, peter, kodanshi , theonejin, eddy, kenneth n freddy)

darn i was looking at the stick and i got a hype on your signature...

till now am yet to find Region 1 PS3 Street Fighter IV or Collector's Edition in KL/PJ ... HORI Real Arcade Pro Stick 3 & HORI Street Fighter IV Fighting Stick out of stock also

Bro aaron5829, still remember me? (long lost PS3 kaki + region 1 collector)

mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

Yours is definitely one of the very first few PIMPED HRAP3 in town. Very good workmanship and also excellent choice of artwork. Playing on this HRAP3 always make me wet. SWEATING from the excitement! Not something else! Don't otak senget! Once again, one fine looking HRAP3!

Wait for my Wireless Stick project to complete. Then I'll join you in the PIMPED Stick Club!

Thanks bro...am went to this shop last week...didn't see it there

would you mind telling me where can i buy those button and sticks parts? I want to create my own sticks too...just dono where to buy the parts...

hi there,

Mine are not (yet) custom parts. Those are stock HRAP3 buttons n sticks. Most of the parts can be bought online cuz i also dunno where its available in malaysia. However, we are getting some parts in for ourself in the very near future (end of this month). See if you would like to join our bulk order and save on the shipping cost

The discussion about the purchase is in http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/856283/+1520 . The bulk organiser is bro rawfish. You can either PM him or leave him a msg in that thread

Errm.... the only crazy rich guy who collects only R1 that i remember was "clngu"

Huh? How come discuss about SFIV R1, R2 and R3 and also someone's PRIVATE STICK????

DON'T HIJACK PLEASE.

Not worry
Mad catz TE and Normal will reach local soon

Nice and simple. Very clean looking stick. I like the look of it.

bingo!!! am back into PS3 world ... changed hobby to DSLR camera previously

forgot my previous ID's password, so created a new ID loh ... my new PSN ID is D_Penalty-7 ...do add me ok

just upgraded my 60GB PS3 to 500GB ... and last week bought 14 games ... now playing RE5

Bro alexwlh, Mad Catz FightStick Tournament Edition good or not?! compare to Hori Real Arcade Pro.3

A friend of ours, <name deleted>, has very special taste indeed. While all of us are pursuing either HRAP3 (various editions) and Madcatz TE. He's eyeing on another joystick released by Hori itself. It's called Sugoi! Arcana Heart Stick by Hori. I really don't know how to describe it. But a picture tells a million words. It sure did for me on this one. Check it out.

i like the last one XD

actually. i felt like to mod my HRAP3 from time to time... but i lack the knowledge nor the guts to do it myself.

tks..it was very easy to just change the buttons/balltop...the hard part was getting the buttons/balltop.....can't get it locally....malaysia boleh!!
