(Now with double the Awesome--you can't tell, but I have a custom arrow dust-washer)

Yesterday, I was playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the PS2 with my huge Happ Arcade stick (the Street Fighter 15th Anniversary Stick modded with Happ parts--see below), and I remembered some advantages of the American style sticks. First off, the sticks are a lot bigger (my hands are huge). Second, and last, the sticks have a lot more spring to them and require more force to move (I'm 3 times as strong as the average Japanese person--just cause). Nothing can be done about the size (the Japanese bat tops aren't the same), but I added a second spring to the stick to make it stiffer and springier. This was an amazing idea. I can do my ultras, supers, and FADCs a lot easier now. I should have done this a lot sooner. When Super Street Fighter IV comes out, I'm going to whomp on so many nerds it's not even funny.
