Seen quite a few Koreans with this stick (with a Fanta lever) at EVO for Tekken 7 this year. Looks nice, I just prefer modding older sticks. And yes, I've heard that latch becomes an issue for the Pantera.I got my Panthera yesterday and I’d love to give a more detailed review of me testing it out but in short, I love it. It feels much more fluid than my TE2+. That’s probably because my TE2+ has been beaten to a pulp and needs a new stick. I just replaced the buttons, but I think it’s the stick that needs the work. The Panthera’s buttons are a little more towards the top. The stick itself feels really durable, but the hinge that opens it kind of scares me. It’s a hydraulic pump that just reeks of issues in the future. Overall, I think it’s a fantastic stick and my inputs felt much cleaner compared to my TE2+. I’d love to have my TE2+ refurbished at some point. But if anyone is the market for a new stick, the Panthera is really nice. It also comes with a bat top free of charge!
TE2+ are super easy to mod. I've got an old HRAP3 that I'm about done with just waiting on some black ss screws to put the final touch.
