Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 General

I'm guessing I want a stick from around 70-150$. I'll have to read up on modding though, since my first thought was just to slap a decal/new plate on a bland cheap one and call it good. When I have time, I'll look in that thread for some more ideas.

Also, don't have to worry about friends interfering with my controller signals....

I think right now, the best option for an all Sanwa PS3 stick would be http://eightarc.com/ps3-ebony this stick. I haven't actually used an eightarc stick yet (since they're fairly new), but I've heard a lot of good about them.They're also made by the same company that makes Qanbas though, which are pretty nice. 110$ for a full Sanwa stick is pretty unheard of now (it's the cheapest I've seen a full Sanwa stick since I bought mine for 100$ back in early 2010). I have no idea how long the sale's going to last on them though.

If you aren't entirely sure about putting the money forward right now, you can get the WWE Brawl stick for 50$. It's the exact same thing as a regular Madcatz TE, just with WWE crap on it. You can then mod it later when the buttons inevitably die, and Madcatz sticks are arguably the easiest to mod. You would just need to buy a Sanwa JLF joystick and replacement buttons, open the stick, remove the old ones and pop in the new ones. A Sanwa joystick runs 24$ on Lizardlick, and buttons are 3$ a pop, so it would be roughly 100$ plus shipping to get a complete stick (with WWE art) that way.
