Yup, that was my thought. I like this one, its Sanwa modded and if I can get it for my super tight arse bid then great. Minor tweaks. If not I’ll go all in.
…or wait to see about PS3 compatibility.
Haha, too many choices. I just wouldn’t mind playing stick on the beta
Well, the last thing said was that they were looking into PS3 Arcade Stick compatibility for SF5. I’ve seen both Combofiend and Matt Dahlgren say they know it’s something many fans are requesting and that they’ll “be revealing more about that soon”. I take that as a good sign. My guess is that this feature will likely be available for the retail release or a later beta once they get around to fully implementing it. That would be cool.
So a new Mayflash is supposed to be coming out around the end of Oct that supports ps3/4 and xbox360/one. I’ll certainly be waiting on the verdict for it. If its easily moddable and has no siginificant problems for a good price then i might get it. But being in the UK the venom is still a solid choice if the mayflash ends up too expensive for some reason or problems arise.
I’m used to Madcatz and really want a TE2, but who the fuck knows when they are coming back out. The price for that stick isn’t bad at all and I really don’t want to play the next beta on pad again.
Best stick and currently available for 150 dollars on amazon is the hori rap v4 kai. Got it recently and it is really good. I thought I would want to change the buttons to sanwa but the Kuro buttons do their job just fine.
yeah, works on an 8-minute restriction, which is pretty fine for a fighting gaming tbh. it does a bluetooth check every 8 minutes, at which point it will stop working. you can just reset the stick at any point via stick inputs (select+HK to turn off, then select to reactivate) which takes like ~1.5 seconds. at first you’ll probably forget and disconnect during games a lot, but I’ve just gotten into the habit of resetting between matches, so it’s not even much of an inconvenience anymore. works flawlessly in PS4 mode besides that hitch, pretty glad I don’t have to buy a new stick for PS4.
Nice. I read a little about it. The 8-minute restriction is only for games that don’t support PS3 sticks right? Like you don’t have to do that for Skullgirls or USF4?
I can’t comment on that stick but I was in a similar boat. I went with the PS3/PS4 venom stick. I wanted something cheap that was easily modded when I was done with the stock parts. Hasn’t disappointed yet. Although I think the price went up a bit since I purchased, I got it for like 115 shipped from the UK to the states.
Of course you can’t go wrong with a TE2 ever I heard.
