Are you happy with the Hori Stick?

I'm not incredibly happy with the EX2 either. Apparently, it does the job, but if you have a look at the training mode with the Display Input option on, you realise how loose it is. Diagonals are rubbish, the game seems to receive a button input even when you are actually releasing your finger. I reckon that's what you get for 40 GBP...

Can anyone compare the EX2 to the VSHG? I mean, people that own both or have one and have tried the other long enough.

cheers

The game is supposed to receive a button input when you release your fingers... it's called negative edge, and while it isn't used too much in VF, it's a feature of nearly all fighting games, and a very important technique in many of them.

I disagree about the diagonals too, but since I haven't tried too many other arcade sticks, I won't elaborate.

Some of these complaints seem directed at the design rather than the construction too. Ball top and square gate are just standard in japanese arcades. For people used to US arcades, yes it's different, and you might want to mod it... but that's an issue with lack of off the shelf competition with the EX2, to allow you buy those other styles, not really a flaw in the stick.

One complaint to the actuall design is that its not heavy enough nor is there enough space for my left hand to rest... it basically sits on the bottom left hand corner which can start to hurt after a while.

Well, 4 me-- I'm happy in the end to have bought the Hori. Haven't had a problem with the diagonals on the stick lately (had enough time to 'break it in'), the buttons respond well, and the beast moves nowhere as i keep it on my desk when i play. Uuunfortunately it doesn't change the fact i still suck at the game 4 now lol
