Simple as can be.

Also I plan on getting this book...

Right, I told him there were guides on the Pelican stick in aim, didn't know YOU made one... I had to drill because I used the old Red Octane Xbox stick to do it (they were $23 on clearance a while back).

Wow, it seems like you took the most difficult route possible to make your sick happen.

You know, you can go and look at the book at this thing called a "store". You can also buy it there too, I think.

I picked up SFAC on my lunch break & tried 3S out a bit at the store. It looks fine (from what I could tell on the Shitty EB TV) & it really does feel a little better than the DC version. I was actually parrying as well, or better than I normally do on the standard PS2 pad.

Can't wait to get home & really get into it.

Seriously. I hate the power they have over me.

PS2 still has more 2D in the US than Xbox.

On topic, I'm waiting for the xbox version, and might get the guide then. I'd probably lose it under a pile of junk if I bought it now.

With the exception of guilty gear isuka (i'm getting xbox's reload) the 2d strat games and skygunner are the only ps2 games i own.

I've always played GG with a pad (generally the god-awful PS2 d-pad) and by and large I have no problem. I have to start learning stick for it because I can't progress with Millia without it, like how doing her 2369+P is impossible for me with a pad. I practiced doing that for a couple hours a day for about four days straight and could still only pull it off maybe once a day, and while I'm sure someone out there can do it just fine with a pad I'll never be able to get it consistant.

Thing is, even when I did get it it was generally high, about another character height or so up from Millia's head. Getting it so it was an immediate attack was more fluke then anything else.

I haven't pull it apart yet but the screws seem to be a hair off, enough that if I use the already-drilled holes I'll probably have to put in the screws at a angle. But honestly, wouldn't it be easier (and the same amount of soldering work) if I just relaced the switches with the Cherry ones off the Competition Stick? Or does the stick itself differ in some noticable way?

As for the buttons, I don't think I'll replace them. The extras ones I have are great but I have no problems whatsoever with the pre-installed set. Sure, they're a bit looser but it doesn't affect my game at all and that's a lot of work for something that won't change anything.

As you might have noticed from earlier comments, they're the same thing.
