Hori Real Acade Pro 3

I just bought an Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 (HRAP3) arcade stick as an upgrade for my Playstation Fighting Stick 3. Main reason is my Fighting Stick 3 isn't responding well enough for the 7 and 9 hopping direction (Fighting game lover will know wat 7 and 9 means as for those tat dont it is the direction of the stick similar to the numpad).

Why HRAP3 instead of better stick like the MadCatz TE stick, reason is it cost a bomb with all all those Sanwa parts in it... and the HRAP3 is only half the price of it and if i upgrade the buttons and stick of my HRAP3 to Sanwa parts it will as same as the TE stick and still RM300+- cheaper than it.

Comparison of size between the 2 sticks

Why not upgrade my Fighting Stick 3 to Sanwa parts... reason is it really troublesome to do so, the button and the joystick are soldered on to the board and the size of the parts does not really fit in the small body of FS3 forcing you to mold the housing.

Seal back into its box and ready to be frozen up

This coming few months are fighting games heaven... first we get BlazBlue early this month (or was it previous) then end of this month we get Kings Of Fighter XII (KOF12) then later this year Tekken 6.

Now sticking with Blazblue which proof to be one revolutionary 2D fighter game from the developers of Guilty Gear.

Ok now i am still awaiting for my paypal funds... need to top up some more to purchase the Sanwa parts i need frm Arcade Spare Parts. Still training on how to used Taokaka Air Combo more fluently.
