: Hey everyone. I just played tekken tag tournament the other day at an arcade for the first time. I loved the feel of the joysticks that are used. They didn't seem to click so I'm guessing that they are leaf-style. Also the buttons were rounded on top and not concave like most. I'm wondering what type of joysticks are used for the game. Anyone know? I'm about to order new ones and I'm just getting some ideas on which ones to get. So far I'm planning on Supers but I'm thinking that I might want leaf style.
The pushbuttons you describe sound alot like the Happ Controls Competition Pushbuttons found at http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/pushbutts/5896xxl.htm.
The joysticks could very well be Perfect 360 joysticks (http://www.happcontrols.com/amusement/joysticks/50608300.htm) as those wouldn't make a click sound. One thing you might want to keep in mind is that once your joysticks are mounted in the cabinet and there is some noise around you (game/people sounds) it's rather hard to hear the clicking. The Perfect 360 sticks do cost quite a bit and add to the complexity of the wiring.
Happ also makes a Perfect 360 button which I would imagine has a very smooth feel and they seem to have a convex top to them.
