this stick is excellent in fighters where diagonals are really important, such as virtua fighter and doa, but in sf4 there can be some problems with inputting commands correctly, this is because of the 4-way or square plate that the joystick is on... my suggestion is that you get a 8-way (octagonal) plate (goes for around 6-8 pounds) and just replace the stock one, the stick and buttons are great(in my opinion) and don't need changing. Also if you are new to stick, like i am take some time to get accustomed with it, at first it might seem like the controller is way better than it, but as time goes by (for me about 5 hours of messing with it) you notice that you can not only input things faster and more precise, but also buffer moves with ease. by the way, this stick has 6 button instead of 8 like madcatz ones so you should consider if you would have a problem pressing 3 punches or 3 kicks instead of just 1 button for ultras.Read full review
This is a very japanese stick first off. If you don't like sqaure gates this thing will give you problems at first. Rotational movements feel like they get stuck in the corners if your not used to it. The amount of space between the stick and the microswitches seems a little big to me but I'm new to this sort of thing so maybe it's just me. The buttons are convex (which I prefer,) and very responsive. I've been putting it through quite a bit of abuse and I would say it's held up nicely these last few weeks. If your looking to mod this stick, it'll be a pain. The PCB is soldered to some of the buttons and theres a another board soldered to the rest. Not to mention the small size of the stick makes the inside very cramped. Replacing the square gate with a octogonal one is pretty easy however. Just drill four holes in your new gate, bolt it on and youur good to go, takes like 15 min. One other downside to the stick is that it is a little light and doesn't work well sitting in your lap as it'll be thrown around. As this writing SFIV has been out about two months and a good arcade stick is still impossible to find for under $100, I don't quite know if this stick is worth that unless you REALLY REALLY need one, but I would wait until summer for prices to (hopefully) level off a bit.Read full review
As many of you will know playing any decent fighting game on the 360 can be a bit of a mess using the analogue sticks and damn near impossible using the poor excuse for a D-pad. Try doing a dragon punch using it and your more likely to just punch fresh air or even throw a fireball instead. With a Hori fighting stick not only do you get a proper stick with microswitch's to detect that correct dragon punch motion but all the buttons are laid out old school arcade style so it really does feel like your back in the arcade but with the benefit of it not being a dank, smoke filled place for drug dealers to peddle their wares(unless that's what your house is like, hey i'm not judging you). Before i got this stick my record at SF2HDR was abysmal but after it arrived i've shot up the leaderboard and regularly hand out beatings to all challengers. not that the stick makes you a fighting game god but it certainly raises your chances of the game actually doing what you want by 100%. For anyone with a love of the beat-em up and with SF4 just around the corner this product is an essential purchase. But just remember that the official ones that Mad Catz are bring out are going to be very expensive so shop around and if you seeone for a good price snap it up. I'm glad i did.

It is a good arcade stick for beginners like me. The joystick feels pretty solid, but the buttons are a little on the cheap side (does not affect my play very much at all). I like the feel of it, and would definitely recommend it to my friends. One thing that is (somewhat) frustrating is the fact that the LB and RB buttons are on the top of the controller as opposed to on the row with the others. I mostly play street fighter 2 where this does not affect it at all, and street fighter 4 where it affects the play minimally. Overall it is a great stick seems like it is more reliable (so far) than the mad catz (cheaper version) because of the sticking gate issue.
The Hori EX2 stick is a great stick for any figher that utilizes 6 button style such as SF4, SC4 and VF5. The buttons although not Sanwa or Semitsu they are responsive and accurate. The stick itself is Sanwa and works great. The gate is a square which can make certain actions difficult but can easily be modded into an octagon. The stick can be easily modded with your own buttons, stick tops and decals (just search google). Overall I feel this is a great stick for anyone who doesn't want to drop $150 plus on a custom or pro stick.
