HORI Fighting Stick Alpha Tekken 8 Edition

Been thinking of buying a arcade stick for a while for fighting games, after buying Tekken 8 it was a no brainer, this looks awesome, only tried it for a hour but Tekken 8 is great on it and tried capcom classics on it ghost and goblins is great with the stick, takes me back to my childhood in the old 80s arcades, very happy with the purchase and a good price too 😊

Solid entry stick. Nice weight, easy to mod if you want and a good size. This is my third alpha, I have the SF6 edition and the Xbox SX edition. I got this one because Tekken is my favorite fighting game. So I’m using this as a display to go along with my Jin statue. I don’t plan on opening it. If you can find these for under $200, close to the sub $150 range then you’ll be happy.

Pros: Best part of this stick is its direct plug and play with the PS5. The buttons feel responsive and have been standing up to use. Super easy to change the buttons, joystick and artwork. The 3.5mm headset adapter located on the side works great and the tournament lockout switch works amazing. Cons: The first big con is going to be the price. I got an absolute bargain at $161 for this stick. If I was to pay $280 I would be probably be a lot more judgemental about it. The Lollipop style joystick which I changed to the “Bat top” style, just personal preference. The actual joystick itself has a larger dead zone than a Sanwa JLF. My final gripe is based on the colour way of this particular version of the stick. The Tekken 8 stripes on either side do not come off easily and the lower portion of the stick is pink, this is 100% personal and if you already like how the stick looks, it will not be a setback to you. Final thoughts, On sale, dollar for dollar this is one of the best deals on an in home arcade experience. The ability to change out to higher quality parts later and with ease is for sure a selling point because everything breaks sooner or later.

It was delivered earlier as expected. I am very happy with this product! The button and joystick are functioning very well. Thank you!!

Antes tenía un stick de gama más baja para empezar y cuando se rompió decidí cambiar y probar algo mejor y la verdad que estoy encantado y el cambio se nota mucho, además de mi saga de fighting games favorita
