I've been recommending (and probably always will) the MadCatz WWE Brawl Stick to anyone looking for a cheaper stick. As of time of this comment, its $45 on Amazon with free shipping if you use Prime. Its WWE branded, which isn't really that popular, I guess, so they're a little cheaper than the exact same (mechanically) Street Fighter IV stick.

The actual stick isn't perfect, and the buttons are a little iffy. Everything on it is standard, however, meaning you can drop the money a month or two down the road to upgrade the hardware to something a bit higher quality (Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons and Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK stick come to mind).

Edit: PS3 version is what I'm using. Works on PC with no third-party drivers or hacks. PC simply sees it as a generic USB controller.

Buying a cheap stick is not always a bad idea. Usually what sucks about cheap sticks is the actual buttons and joystick parts - these are fairly easily replaceable with high quality parts. You used to be able to buy buttons from lizardlick.com but apparently they've gone out of business so you'd need to use something like Focus Attack.

So you can buy a cheap stick, order some Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons and joystick, and spend less for basically the same quality stick as the high end ones. It does take the effort of ordering and changing out the parts though (really not too hard) so the savings will have to justify the effort for you. It does let you customize your stick more though, and it will give you some experience if you want to mess with the stick in the future to deck it out or change out parts.

You can also dual mod them yourself or pay people to. Haven't looked into this so not sure if it would be cheaper to get a cheap stick + high quality parts + dual mod than just buying an already dual modded high end stick.

For example, my friend did all of this with this stick as a start. And yet he still hasn't changed the panel art...

u/idkmybffjoe · 4 pointsr/PS3

It would likely be this one. I don't own one myself, and it's no MadCatz TE, but they make decent products in general, and if you're down to do an art mod, it could easily be a solid casual stick. It all depends on how seriously you want to take it-- no sense dropping $150+ on a stick if you're just going to play online at home for six months and then drop the game forever. If you're looking into playing competitively at tournaments? I'd recommend just saving up for a bit longer and buying the best stick you can. Most tournament players use either Hori or (most commonly) the MadCatz TE, but it's your call. Some even use pad successfully (see: Fanatiq). Good luck!

Great for modding and starting. I bought mine today, should be here in two days.

u/AfroMH · 3 pointsr/Games

A few good places to look for information:

  1. SRK is a good place to go to see all the latest news; there are forums there and one is called the Newbie Saikyo Dojo made specifically for new players to learn stuff about the genre. SRK also has a lot of resources on finding people near you to play games with. Online play is a good way to practice, but there's nothing like playing against someone in person when it comes to getting better.

  2. As another person suggested, the David Sirlin tutorials for Super Turbo focus on fundamentals that you can apply in most any fighting game.

  3. Eventhubs also has a lot of good information as well.

  4. If you're looking to buy a stick, but don't know if you want to make a heavy initial investment, look for the WWE All-Stars Brawl Stick. It's cheaper than buying a TE, and easily moddable if you want to upgrade the parts in it. Once you're ready for a bigger investment (especially if you decide to get into tournaments), the MadCatz TEs are really good, but I would suggest (especially if you don't have a modder in your area) getting a Qanba or an Eightarc stick, because they work on both 360 and PS3 and are quality products.

    As for a game, Super Street Fighter IV AE would probably be your best bet. Find a character (I usually recommend Ryu to new players because you can learn all the basics like footsies, zoning, anti-airing, spacing, and so on and so forth) and play around a little bit. If you decide to step into the online arena, you're going to lose. A lot. Stick with it.

    If you want to try out UMvC3, go for it. It is easy to learn, yet hard to master, and not as hard as it looks. To beginners, the game looks and seems extremely fast, but the game slows down as you get used to it.
u/Brodusa · 3 pointsr/Fighters

You can start on this one






It's not the best thing out there but it's not bad either, buddy of mine got this stick changed the artwork on it and replaced the stick with a balltop quicklink and the buttons with Crown buttons. (he wanted to try them out)







It will get the job done for getting used to using a fight stick and will last long enough for you to save up money for something better.

u/Dropkick715 · 2 pointsr/PS3

If you are not sure if playing games with a stick is something you are going to like, an okay choice for a starter stick would be the WWE Brawl Stick. If you decide to become more serious about fighting games these sticks are fully compatible to swap in Sanwa brand stick and buttons no soldering required, which are what most players prefer and the same parts most expensive sticks use.

The arcade stick on the left is custom made and is compatible with 360, PS3, and PC. I got that one used on eBay for $80 shipped. So it is possible to get a good stick with full Sanwa parts used. These parts were designed for use in arcades and they can take some real abuse.

The second one is limited out of 300 and I got that for $150 with a book bag carrying case. It looks like Amazon has this model for $137 right now. Usually when there is a major fighting game tournament going on these sticks get discounted even more on the official Madcatz store.

u/elentrepreneur · 2 pointsr/Skullgirls

When I was researching sticks, I attempted to calculated out how much money and effort was required to build my own stick, compared to buying a TE, or other premade. When you talk about buttons being roughly $25, joystick being around the same, and PCB's ranging from $30-$60, it does add up quickly. On top of the wiring/soldering you have to do, it was more than worthwhile to purchase an arcade stick from a company that specializes in that very thing.

There are cheaper options, though. The Mayflash USB Arcade Fight Stick and the WWE All-Stars Brawl Stick are both decent sticks in the $30-$40 price range.

u/DaymanMaster0fKarate · 2 pointsr/SF4

Don't spend your money on that.

If you play on PC or PS3 get this, it's $40 right now. thats the best stick you can get that's not Sanwa or Semitsu parts.

Otherwise get this pad.

u/natiahs · 2 pointsr/WWEGames

I still have a couple of the arcade sticks! https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ

(Just to clarify, I mean in my personal collection. The ones on Amazon are not mine.)

u/qspec02 · 2 pointsr/Fighters

It depends on your use case, but I find the place I am most likely to spend money first is on the board. I want/need something that easily plays all modern consoles.

That said, I think starting cheap can be perfectly viable. My first stick was this monstrosity. Which over time turned into this little cutie. I ended up paying an art commission, upgrading to Seimitsu parts, and though I've since moved on, I loved that thing.

I'd make sure the one you want has room in the case as not all fightsticks are easily moddable, but yeah... start cheap if you want and build up over a few months or so.

u/RelentlessNoodle · 1 pointr/gamingsuggestions

That kind of control scheme sounds pretty awkward to me, but if it works why not go with it? The reason people buy those controllers I linked you is because they can't stand the D-Pad/analogue stick of the xbox controller, and $20 is a pretty cheap investment.

The cheapest stick I could find is this:http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ/ref=sr_sp-btf_title_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1367640078&sr=8-11&keywords=fightstick

You could always replace the faceplate to make it more appealing. That's essentially the same one I bought when I started, but a newer version (and with WWE art instead of street fighter). Make sure to do some research and make sure that it works on PC before you pull the trigger.

u/rockstarfruitpunch · 1 pointr/Games

I've got both a 360 and a PS3 Madcatz stick, and both work fine on my PC's. They're standard USB connections that windows recognises straight away. Hell, my Raspberry Pi recognised my PS3 stick straight away!

The reason why you're no longer seeing cheap SE sticks is because they are no longer manufactured, making them rare items.

Cheap SE sticks that can still be found for cheap (unless people have caught on) are the WWE Brawl sticks. Same as the Street Fighter SE sticks, but with WWE branding.

There is a difference between TE and SE sticks. SE sticks do not come with Sanwa parts by default - you will have to swap them out (easy to do, thank god!). TE sticks are bigger, heavier and come with the quality Sanwa parts. Saying that, it took a year for my SE stick buttons to die - your mileage may vary as I racked up about 300 hours on SF4 by then.

Qanba also do great sticks.

Also, whenever there is a big tournament happening, there will usually be a discount code advertised on the streams for cheaper sticks.

Here's the PS3 Brawl stick I have (I'm assuming you're american - I'm british):

http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ

Notice the PS3 one is cheaper - if you're only playing on PC, get the PS3 version.
Also do a google on the WWE Brawl stick, and see what the folks on youtube and shoryuken.com are saying about it. (ignore the folk who don't know that it's a better SF4 SE Stick).

If you do go for the stick, I would recommend swapping out the buttons for Sanwa parts.

Apparently some older PC's/Laptops might need motioninjoy for ps3 sticks to work. If you're using windows xp, and you get the 360 version, you will need to download the xbox 360 controller drivers. Windows Vista and up, you're fine.

u/Tierehl · 1 pointr/Fighters

Your other option is what I did, buy a MadCatz Brawlstick, and swap it Sanwa buttons and a joystick from FocusAttack and it will end up costing you around $80 depending on what system you buy it for and when you buy it (I assumed for PS3) and you will have a tournament ready fightstick.
PS: I changed the artwork for it, I didn't want The Rock and Triple H looking at me when I'm trying to mash DPs.

u/AmuseDeath · 1 pointr/SF4

And you can get an even cheaper deal on certain sticks as well.

http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ

The point here is that yes, you can dual mod, but there are factors to look at: cost of the mod, knowing how to do it, having soldering equipment, time, etc. Or you can probably pay less to get a simple stick or some more to get a quality one.

u/Ozymil · 1 pointr/Games

If you're looking for a reliable, cheap fightstick check out this stick on Amazon. It's $45 if you've got Prime. A decent stick for a good price, and you can change the faceplate.

u/Yarcofin · 1 pointr/Skullgirls

Most people say anything under $60 isn't worth considering because some component will break within the first couple months. The only exception is the WWE All Stars Brawl stick (I don't know what makes it different and it doesn't seem to have Sanwa parts, which is the main thing you're looking for in a stick.)

If you can't drop $100 on a fightstick or not sure if you will be playing fighting games in a month or two, I would stick with a wired Xbox 360 controller. I upgraded from an Xbox controller to a fightstick 2 weeks ago and honestly it hasn't upped my game or made anything easier, in fact I am probably still a bit worse.

u/Liquid_Otacon · 1 pointr/FLCL

What kind of fight stick do you have? I was doing the same thing not too long ago and found some templates for sticks. I still have the raw templates saved for this one. I gutted the stock parts and replaced them all with Sanwas

u/hardmodethardus · 1 pointr/Skullgirls

I spent $40 on a bottom of the line Madcatz stick and then I hit up Paradise Arcade for a Seimitsu stick and buttons for about $60. It was super easy to put together and I ended up with the rough equivalent of a TE with custom colors for the same price.

u/Feckless · -1 pointsr/StreetFighter

I was able to get a stick for cheap ( https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ?th=1 ) and added sanwa parts to it (and new artwork https://imgur.com/a/1jp2c ). Kinda happy with it, even though I was not able to do it perfectly. But man, cheap and works well. Obviously I'm back at playing with a fightpad now.

u/Captain_Spicy · -2 pointsr/SF4

The madcatz Brawlstick would be a great choice for about 70$
