Before devoting herself to songwriting, Daija has been a dancer and a professional soccer player, and travelled all around the world. As an urban artist inspired mostly by the New York scene of the 1990s (funk, hip-hop, r'n'b, acid jazz and lounge, but also, more occasionally, shoegaze and trip-hop), her music was a mix of these influences and could result either in catchy, flirtatious songs with a funky beat, smooth love ballads with a 90s r'n'b feel or unusually sad, melancholic dream pop songs with existential, surrealistic or esoteric lyrics.
One of her characteristics was to use whispered, sensual vocals instead of regular soul-inspired singing. Sometimes world elements were incorporated, such as sitar in the song "To the Unseen Ground".
Daija released one EP titled "Aphrodisiac" (媚薬) in 2000, and one album titled "Chaos" in 2001. Later on, she changed her style to contemporary folk and jazz, and released new music, this time under her real name.

Got myself a a Mayflash F500 and my brother a F300 since they where a good price. Swapped out the buttons and and Sticks with Sanwa parts. Both are sturdy, and still work after 2 or 3 years of use. Nice that it works with everything even if you feel a bit silly plugging another controller into the stick.

I’m using the Mayflash f500 and I love it personally. Now that the new age of fighting games are coming out I am looking to get a new stick. I’ve had this one for about 5-6 years and it’s done me so much justice as my first stick. From the price to the customizable options I had a lot of fun with this stick and definitely recommend to first time buyers.

I got a Mayflash F300 as my first stick, and upgraded the buttons/lever to Sanwa stuff, and it's been more than good enough for me! Though I have a 3D printer, and I'm trying to design a modular version of the Snackbox, with different button-layout and keyswitch options and whatnot.

I bought the 8bitdo, opened it up and replaced the stick with an OdinV2 directional pad.
After looking at the internals (and all the empty space), I plan on moving the parts to an empty junk food arcade box with a sleeker design. The odinV2 will also fit (I did my measurements haha)

The F500 Elite has been my first official fight stick. I had a friend turn an Xbox 360 remote into one, used that for a minute.
Unlearned quite a bit of habits from playing controller (playstation remotes) and really began to understand mechanics a lot more over the few years since the beginning of the pandemic

The original MadCatz TE stick is hands down, one of the most versatile joystick I've ever owned. Have a stock one, another modded for leverless layout and another converted from PS3 only to multi-console with Sega P1 layout panel.

So both the Mayflash have an "Elite" version that ships directly with Sanwa parts (around 100$ or less) I've been using the Mayflash F300 Elite since 2020 and I still love it. Best value option by far I think.

My elite f300 with the sanwas is awesome. Customizable, works with everything, and for a smaller guy the size is perfect. Im sure the more expebsive ones are better, but i really have no issues at all woth mine

I've got a collection of 8+ sticks (Hori FIghting Edge, Razer Panthera, multiple Hori RAPs, Qanba Obsidian, etc..) and I use my Mayflash F500 Elite the most, by a decent margin. It's just the perfect size/form factor, easy as hell to put custom art, works with everything (I primarily use PC, but still nice to have), and is overall a great daily driver.

I love arcade stick videos. Hope you guys do more of these. I'm much more of a small arcade stick guy. I dont move my hands much so it doesn't really shift much. Got a Mad Catz Fight Stick Alpha for 50 bucks, had a friend mod it with Sanwa stick and Hayabusa buttons. After that put in a looser spring and good to go. Love it

i got the f300 relatively recently and it's a great beginner stick imo. It is a little too small for me but since i'm still starting out it gets the job done and is super customizable.

Got myself a Snackbox Micro with the heavy metal plate and it's my very first fight "stick". I try not to look into the tech that you can do on a Hitbox, because that's not the reason why I got this thing. The thing I love about it is that it feels comfortable and brings me back to the days when I played Mugen on keyboard. The other extra cool thing about it is that I also play Tetris, so it makes me so much faster. The problem I have with it at the moment is that one of my buttons flies off if I go too ham with it. Strangely enough, it only happens when I play Tetris. Ha ha!

Main fighting games I play on it are: Melty Blood: Type Lumina, Street Fighter 6, and Killer Instinct.

The snackbox looks like a cool as hell piece of kit, but I just can't justify that price point any time soon.

I bought the Mayflash f300 on Amazon last year, my first arcade stick. The stock parts lasted me until a month ago (I was abusing that mf lol) and I swapped everything out for Sanwa parts last week. I don't really have a great frame of reference because this is really the only stick I played on but I think it is great for the price, it works on pretty much anything and its a good place to start getting into doing your own customization/modding. My only complaints are that it is kinda small for my hands, there is no mic plug in (I should have went for the f500 in hindsight) and you have to plug your ps4, ps5 or xbox controller into it to use it on those consoles. A shame that Jwong got burned by a secondhand stick but I think it's unfair to call it a trash stick as a whole because of that.

Dad Rising

It is great, just keep the firmware up to datw for max compatability and improved input lag (its only downside, but its still more than ok, to me as a more casual fighting and shmup player.)
Nothing works on nearly as many devices ❤

I was looking into the mpress currently and the price jumped about $100 from the last time I looked at it. And the snackbox rose ~$80.

The Mayflash isn't bad, so long as you know what to expect. Its the best starter stick for people that're willing to spend a little. Still use mine for my PC and Switch (I have an F500)

TheXosh10

I'm on the mayflash F500 easy to switch out parts perfect for PC and switch gaming, works well on other platforms but you do have to plug in a controller for that platform into the stick so it can be a pain I give it an 8/10 for the price and how well it is

Jose Gonzalez

The launch TE2 died on me in months and when I tried to replace a button, the quick disconnects came off the cable. A shame because up to that point, I always wanted a MadCatz stick and there were no options at the time of very early Killer Instinct until Hori released some HRAPs

As a Mad Catz fanboy I like that Kizzie put the EGO in A. Solid agree. Very sturdy, feels great to use, often on sale, perfect for PC play. if not for the controller dongle, it'd be S tier for me .

Mayflash as a budget stick I had wasn't great. The stick felt super loose and the buttons were a hare trigger, but the quanba drone as a travel stick and starter was great. Was better that I got it on prime day, so payed 35-40 at the time. was the thing I recommend to the water treaters, and it was the stick I lend people if they want to really have a arcadestick. Have the gen 1 panthera still primary stick. Great stick good gear inside (at this point I ship of Theseus'd it) I wish the cover art was swappable. But fantastic for hot swapping gear. I would like to get a new stick, but it hasn't failed me after these years. But the stick I have and love was the Tekken 5 anniversary stick. May not be amazing, but the feel of it kind of dug in all these years. Same with the Dreamcast stick

I'm definitely in love with my Madcatz SFIV Arcade Fightstick. It's probably not the best stick out there but playing USFIV with it just feels very meant to be played like that.

I had the f300 for my first stick, loved it, but it had a pretty bad input delay when I plugged in a controller for console. PC was fine though. Homies got the f500 and absolutely loved it. I upgraded a while ago to the first panthera and haven't looked back

I started off with the Qanba Drone. Then i got the Hori Rap 4 but i felt like it was too big and wanted something a bit more compact so i got the Mayflash f500 and upgraded it. After that i wanted to try an all button layout so i got a snackbox v2. And now im on the snackbox micro. I actually like the form factor and feel of the F500 so much that i bought the elite version just to have in the collection as a backup.

@marcusmeins1839 Yeah, Mayflash simply has one of the best cases on the market for the price. It has metal top and bottom plates for added weight and sturdiness, an acrylic top panel for custom artwork, fully customizable buttons and joystick, and it works across all consoles as long as you have a controller for the console you're trying to play. To take customization a step further, you can always remove the stock pcb and add in a Brooks Universal fighting board to make it work on all consoles without the need for a controller or adapter.

The mayflash 300 is awesome. i got mine on sale for $35 during black friday. For what it does and what it CAN do is 100% worth the price.
Great stick to learn on and upgrade with high end sanwa parts. Can't beat it

tim collins jr.

I have 2 custom f300s and an old 8bitdo that is built from an f300 chassis. They're great universal, small size sticks. The stock parts are fine for the price but I always swap to Sanwa right out the box. I also have a MadCatz TE1 and TE2. The TE has thousands of hours of use, 2 stick and multiple button swaps. Both of the TEs blister my right wrist pretty bad but other than that they are big sturdy reliable sticks. Honestly I'd take any one of these into battle with confidence. Mayflash f300 is a perfect starting point, by the time you get to your second stick it's a full-on lifestyle, so make your first one something relatively inexpensive and versitile. I also highly suggest putting some custom art or button/stick colors to really make it yours.

Bought a Hitbox and on the 1st day I was like "nah, it's impossible to adapt with this strange directional layout" played a couple arcade runs and got the basics of it and after some online humiliation I've put it down for a week and now after 3 straight days of training I wouldn't change the Hitbox for any type of controller the precision of this thing is out of this world I've even tried the Zangief 720 and I gotta say it's not as complicated as I thought it would be.

I'm currently using the Mayflash F300 and I'm loving it. It's my first Arcade Stick so it took time getting used to it, but after while I got the hang of it and now I can't play fighting games without it.
So far I don't have it modded yet, but I do play on doing that in the near future.

My first stick was the MF F500. Tons of hours playing SF5 on my PS4 and a ton of arcade games on my PC. Good weight and decent components with easy swap and customization.

Now I own a Panthera Evo and a Victrix FS Pro. Worth every penny.

I genuinely recommend the 8BitDo Arcade Stick, it's a good solid stick and is easily moddable. The only thing is it comes with a square gate, which I changed out for an octagonal, but it's pretty good for the price.

Turtlebird

46w↑2

Had the opposite experience unfortunately. The unit I had was an absolute nightmare to mod and the screws were basically fused to the board so I couldn't change the stick. Insides also felt a bit cramped, but probably not an issue if you're using snap in buttons instead of the screwins that I was trying to install.

Those issues aside though (and in fairness some were likely just me getting a bad unit, it happens) I do genuinely really like the stick. Out of all the budget arcade sticks I think it's the best out of the box experience by far, and it offers features you don't even see on high end sticks like bluetooth and the included 2.4ghz wireless adapter.

Cisco Rey

I own 14 sticks, including the Victrix Pro and Qanba Dragon. My two favorite sticks are still, 'til this day, my Hori RAP Premium VLXs. Yes, they're big. Yes, they're expensive. And yes, they're hard to find. That stated, nothing else compares to how they feel/perform.

inFamousVIC

44w↑1

Between the Dragon and the Victrix, which would you keep? I’m wondering which one to get atm, and the weight/travel size/pcb is not an issue for me. I’m leaning on the dragon due to customizations sake and aesthetics

Cisco Rey

44w↑1

@inFamousVIC The Dragon is definitely more customizable and considerably heavier, if you appreciate that aspect. That said, for me at least, the Victrix feels like it performs better. It's a little hard to describe what I mean by this but inputs just feel easier/more accurate. Also, the Victrix top has an angled area at the palms—the flat panel of the Dragon is probably my biggest complaint for it because after hours of play, its edge will feel like it's digging at your palms. So if forced to choose, I'd take the Victrix just for performance and comfort. Honestly, the only gripe I have with the Victrix is where the USB cable plugs into the top. It's not quite as snug as I would expect it to be for a $400 stick.

Honestly, you really can't lose with either stick though; they're both built like tanks. Good luck!

inFamousVIC

44w

@Cisco Rey damn. I wish I could know more about that performance aspect aside from the PCB. The palm deal I did see and I’m glad for that ease of use for people.

Cisco Rey

44w

@inFamousVIC Yeah, it's hard to describe. Even if you're using the same JLF levers on all your sticks (I try to fit all my sticks with Sanwa), it's like the hole in the body that's cut out for the lever affects the way it feels. I noticed this right away with my friend's Mayflash F500 Elite. The throw of the stick felt very very different and I suspect it has something to do with the height (and possible width of the hole) of where the plexiglass sits.

To be perfectly honest, if I'm choosing in order based off of performance, I'm going RAP Premium VLX > RAP Pro Kai (with Sanwa parts) > Victrix > Dragon. Yes, it's crazy to know that I'd rather play with a $150 Kai over a Victrix.

I am surprised you don't have custom sticks on the list or discussed doing upgrades on a bunch of the sticks to give it more features and still keep it under the price of some other stick. You were missing the Fighting Edge and/or the Hori Rap n as well as a few others but I know this is primarily a fighting game channel not an arcade stick channel.

Also the Panthera Evo doesn't have an easy disconnect cord. I think kizzy was thinking of the Razer Panthera which has the clam shell design.

I'm sure they wanted to keep it simple for the tier list. That's how content creators tend to think about things.

@Liberty Prime I understand the custom aspect but they missed the Fighting Edge which is Hori's nicest stick, the Rap N was the model they based a lot of last generation's sticks on. I believe they used the same molds.

Im going through a stick crisis since I lost my old stick. I had a MadCatz TE2+ SF5 edition and it was perfect for a newb like me because changing gates and tops was so easy. I grew up in American arcades and prefer an octagonal or circular gate with battop.

Not sure which one I should get or which route I should go or if I even need one. I've been debating just sticking with pad but for SF6 I'm wondering how to set up the buttons being there are so many times you will be doing two button presses for drive gauge usage. Curious how pad players are setting up their pads.

my first proper fighting game controller was an arcade stick, but that started hurting my hand if i played for prolonged periods of time. i looked into getting a different controller back in 2021, and Got my Self a Snackbox before then in 2023 upgrading to a Hitbox. while the system at first for them can be unintuitive, i cannot recommend lever-less controllers enough. i can play for 4-5 hours at a time without any pain in my hands, when before i would start to feel pain 2.5 hours in with my Arcade stick.

Started with the F300 and upgraded to the Qanba Pearl. I recommend starting off with a cheaper stick so you can mod and appreciate the upgrade when the time comes.

The mayflash 300 elite checks all the boxes. Matte finish with Sanwa buttons for 100 bucks. Can't beat it.

My Crystal got an A from both of you?? I'll take it man, I've never had an issue with this stick (aside from the metal bottom rusting a little bit, but I'm sure that's more my fault than the stick lmao)

A bit light on the features. Im looking for a solid arcade stick that can take punishment and work with my SF6 on series x.

that mayflash was the upgrade. The original was 50 bucks on amazon back in like 2014. I remember, I had to mod the shit out of it because it was so much cheaper to do that than getting a madcatz at the time which was like 200-300 bucks. Thank god for 3D printers because I've designed like 6 different sticks since then. But god damn, that brought back some memories.

Just wanna defend the mayflash sticks. If you're looking for an affordable entry level stick definitely go mayflash over qanba drone. The upgradability is just not comparable. Get the f300 for 60 and when you get some more cash just get some sanwa parts in ther and you're set. Honestly. The same thing cannot be said about the drone. And even the oarts that come with the mayflash are already better than what comes with the drone, not to mention compatibilty. The mayflash will play ln anything

I always wonder if I should pickup a stick or hitbox but, then I see people like Punk, Idom, Smug or Sonicfox wreck people on pad.

The mixbox has a slanted arrow keys version, I own that one and it works amazing, especially as someone who grew up more on keyboard than controller or stick

That's a controller I'm looking into getting next. Which one did you get? Cuz, the ones I've been seeing don't have the slant.

You know I’m kinda shocked there’s no official SF6 sticks releasing. They did with Sf4 and SF5 at launch. Weird.

Hori fighting edge is the best stick I’ve owned.

I've always been a pad player but one day I might give the stick a try, does anyone know any recommended arcade sticks for beginners?

DarukaEon

I forget... but I think they have pads with 6 face buttons. I think by... MadCatz?

got the mayflash f300 elite and they come with sanwa stick and buttons. 100% recommend. Literally stop watching when they based it on a purchase on a yard sale. Tarded way to rate really.

The Victrix is like buying several different types of cars. It's like buying a Lamborghini because it's expensive but you get what you pay for. You aren't just looking for any car to get you from point A to B, you want the best possible car for performance and just owning one is flexing on motherfuckers and it's sleek and stylish when it gets to you but you don't have a ton of options on customization. On the other hand, it's like buying a luxury car where everything is ergonomic and comfortable and you've got all that leg room; something built with comfort in mind. Lastly, it's like buying a huge pickup truck in the sense that this thing was designed to LAST. It's like that old pickup truck that just won't die. You take good care of it and it will take care of you.

I gotta disagree about the panthera evo, as a modder. It was my first stick and it was hell modding it. Plastic internals are so fragile, so many screws, and some plastic ridges make it impossible to mount a korean lever. Credit to the silhouette though as it has he most comfortable wrist area with that slant.
