Probably the best stick I've ever used, to be fair. I'd prefer AnimaX's but the physical body is a bit too light for a chargey-wrenchy-sticky player.

Would agree with you on that. (Chopper hated it though.) Would you not do the same with your doom-stick?

Hold on, what did I hate?

PPCs stick just looks like a modded TE to me. I have no problem using them, but prefer my Hori.

It's the button layout of HRAP 2 and onwards Hori sticks I don't like.

Doom why have you not posted images of the modding you've done to your stick? I mean it has a sticker!

WRONG.

The best stick EVAR is the majesty that is the DooMstick.

You ready for it?



As you can see it's been extensively modified, in the most important way.

Oh yeah and then there's DooMstick beta:



I need to sort some custom art for the SE there, the acid green doesn't really go.

pfffft

Was reminded of this when I first saw this post. (OK, they're not pink but there's more than enough pink on the rest of the stick to last a lifetime.)

Its easily done Doomy!

I just resize the file to the SE standard size, I'll send it to you as a JPG or a PSD (Photoshop file) and you bring it in to Reads and they'll print it for ya.

Now I dont know if they can do laminate printing or if you want to go down the plexi route!!

K.O.Kiki

Reads will easily laminate that; just make sure they print it the right size first!

My modded Hori EX2


Added sanwa buttons, cherry microswitches, seimetsu spring, sanwa octogate and sanwa balltop.

The movelist is very useful coz I can look down at it in the middle of a fight, in case I forget ryu's moves :P

You should change the artwork and just put in huge letters TIGER! :P

Seriously, class stick. I remember you brought it to one of the meets and loved the artwork. Has Stephen gone ahead with his site btw? I remember he said he wanted some feedback but never got any emails from him.

haha, maybe i'll do that for my next stick! Hey, were you at the meet on saturday? I had to miss it. Are you coming down next time?

Stephen had a bit of a setback with his custom sticks after ordering buttons that turned out to be fake :mad:
At the moment he is on holiday in asia so I haven't spoke with him. But he has a lot of cases made so I'm sure he'll pick it back up when he comes back. How are you getting on with your stick plans?!

I've been working on a bit of artwork in case I get a new stick. Something like this:

with a ghostly (dead) gouken in the background, or just


I like the shoto character storyline which is why I have those chars in there (and no sagat!). Problem is, i'm not sure if the different art styles mix very well. What do you lads think?

Holes are easy -- after you stick the artwork on, you cut them from below with a craft knife.

@Animax: 1st one is better, but IMO I'd leave Gouken out altogether

Ah right, sorry to hear about the setbacks as he seemed like a sound lad.

Honestly, about the templates, they're nice but personally, I'd go for different pics of Akuma and Ken. Just my opinion ofcourse

I'm still looking into the stick as I'm having to overlook the costs again. I'll make a few templates while I wait for the parts to arrive . I'm pretty handy with the graphics programs so I hope to make something mad. I was thinking along the lines of the shotos myself.

About the cases Stephen's got, is there any chance I could buy one off him? As I don't where to look to get one :S.

I'd have to say they don't really mix, it looks tacky (just to be blunt)

Leprekaun

Can someone here extract the colouring layer or actual print out layer for me from the PSD and make it into a PNG image with the holes and background transparent? As I'm a lot more familiar with PSP, PSDs (well, any PSD from PS5 don't work with PSP because of some dispute) aren't compatible.

I also asked him could I buy a case off him but he wasn't too keen on the idea. I guess his whole business model (and thus profit margin) is based around selling a full package. But he also has cthulhu pcbs (for ps3) so if you're still looking for a dual mod you could try to buy a case + cthulhu + maybe sticks and buttons from him. Send me a pm and I'll give you his email or whatever.

What I really wanted was just the picture of ryu with his 3rd strike background. Problem is, the image isn't very high res and if I blow it up bigger it looks pixelated. Does anyone know if you can convert a pixel image to a vector graphic so that it can scale up well?

Leprekaun

Ah right, no worries then. I'll sort something out.

I think if you increase the print resolution, it allows for a larger size image without pixelation. I might be talking complete bollocks though

Can't take credit for these lads, there from the SRK stick graphic thread.

Leprekaun

Would anyone here know someone or some place where I can get a case made or buy one? Would there be any TE edition replicates?

Ah right, yeah I'd just watch out for mixing up different art styles.

btw on the subject of stages, I remember coming across these images, I dunno if someone could so something with them for a stick or not though :
