The first is the introduction of Super Combos, a feature inspired by the Super Special Moves featured in other fighting games, and a mainstay in the Street Fighter since then. In addition to speeding gameplay up substantially from the original Super (and providing the player with the option to choose the speed after selecting a character), there are two important changes to the game. If you want the actual original sticks then buy IL sticks.Super Street Fighter II Turbo (known in Japan as Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge, hereafter referred to as Super Turbo or SSF2T) was the fifth and final updated arcade of the Street Fighter II games, following Super Street Fighter II (not counting the later Hyper Street Fighter II). If you want the "Happ" Name then buy Happ Sticks I attribute that mostly to the actuator and cherry switches. I chalked it up to me just not being good, but then started reading up on the IL/Happ situation, so I swapped to IL sticks and my execution rate went to 100% and I was able to 1CC on my first play through with the new sticks despite not quite ever making it before then. I'd have certain moves with complex joystick inputs that wouldn't execute sometimes. None of these are things a casual player will ever notice, however when building my MK and KI cabinets I original had new Happ equipment and I was attempting to get good enough to 1CC both games. the switches they use now are also a bit less sensitive and less consistent in their actuation distance. They also used cheaper materials, most notably the nylon actuator (which is made out of nylon to help to glide and spin smoothly while having excellent wear resistance) was replaced with an ABS one that is not as smooth and prone to binding.

The molds seem inconsistant, and the tolerances are off, this causes the sticks to sometimes bind, or motions might have sticking point, and two sticks side by side might bind/stick in different ways/different places. What makes the China made Happ sticks not as good? the only differences is they're sold as "IL Euro" sticks and not "Happ Competition" sticks. However IL continues to make the original Competition sticks with the original design and the original molds in the original quality with the original Cherry Microswitches. Sometime around 2008 Happ stopped using IL and moved production to China, and the quality of the parts dropped, at this time they also switched from using Cherry brand micro switches (very good) to Zippy or E-Switch brand switches (not as good). I'ts my understanding that Happ used to contract out the manufacture of these sticks to a company called IL (Industrias Lorenzo). "Happ Competition" sticks are the ones that went into classic USA SF and MK cabs.

If you plan to use this with a supergun you should be good but you might want to add a credit button? If you are going to use this with consoles you might want a select (option) button as well as a home (xbox/ps) button.

I would do straight across, because that was the standard on us woody cabinets. IL would be fine as well though.Īnother more important aspect is the actual layout. For those I would still get the happ buttons I think. especially if you plan to play mvc2 at all. I think that red, white, blue concave buttons were standard on SF control panels from back in the day? But you might want to go convex. I don't know the exact history but people were saying happ used to contract with them? iirc there was something about the happ sticks no longer being as good as they used to be so people started using these iL ones? But that was back like in 2009. There's also those IL sticks? industrias lorenzo or whatever.
