I have always preferred playing in american sticks because of how stiff they are, and also coz Im used to do my motions and shortcuts on them. I bought a madcatz TE stick not so long ago, and I have to sell it cheaper on craigslist because I just couldnt adapt to the looseness of them. I just kept jumping forward or backward when I tapped a direction or when I did a dp motion. So I switched back to IL sticks but changed the buttons to sanwa, and all have been fine until the last couple of days.
I play only ssf4 on my ps3, and whenever Im required to do inputs and motions fast, thats when I start to get frustrated. I cant let the stick go to neutral position by itself because the actuator will bounce like crazy and 50% of the time I will either get a dash forward/backward, or a random jump. I used to think my problem was my execution, but now I tested it on training mode, and I came to the conclusion that thats the HORRIBLE part of playing in american sticks ( dunno about perfect 360s ). Now the only thing I can do about it, its to manually return the stick to neutral ( not just letting the stick go ), but that reduces my ability to react faster to fast jumpings and also doing quick dps. So now I just wanna know what kind of stick is best for me that feels pretty close to a happ/il stick. Or what can I do about this problem ( changing something inside the actuator, dunno ).
Do I need a sanwa bit a bat top and a stiffer spring?
What about hori or seimitsu?
I dont use charge characters at all, and I use diagonals a lot ... another problem with IL/happ sticks that dont register the latter inputs well, and one that has costed A LOT of losses.
Thx.
