MAD CATZ - Combat FightStick: Ultimate Edition Replacement Panel for TE FightSticks!

You’ll all be something nice from me soon. :slight_smile:

sick. i didnt know that was yours, tim. good shit.

Hey MarkMan I emailed you could you hit me up when you get time thanks

It makes for a great excuse to hoard buttons!

I’m thinking about getting one for my BlazBlue stick.

PSN + demo is out now.

Any impressions from those who have these?

Saw a few people complaining about the 6 button layout with the MK9 demo calling it an “8 button game.”

L2 + R1 are not on the Mad Catz Combat FightStick control panel.

L2 is switch stance. If you hit both kick buttons, you’ll switch stance.
L2 + R2 is the XRAY move. So, to do the XRAY move, press both kick buttons + block.

R1 is throw, but I see on the Mad Catz panel R2 is in that position (Same for the PDP Mortal Kombat “fight stick” oddly enough). So, that would make the other “missing” button ‘tag’, which I assume there will be a combination for as well. That’s not in the demo though.

I knew there must be alternatives since the PDP “fight stick” only has 6 buttons as well.

On further contemplation, maybe the “Run” button is replaced by “Tag” instead of “Throw”? Because I also noticed that Front Punch + Block gives you a throw.

I dunno, the point of my post is to inform those who haven’t figured out those button combos and to let people know you can do everything with 6 buttons and you should get the Mad Catz panel. :wink:

^ Yep. :slight_smile:

Step by step, how to install it!

so is there eventually going to be a version of the fightstick that comes with the “ultimate panel”? Or is it strictly going to be sold as a separate panel?

Just as a panel.

Mark,

Slightly off-topic but just curious…how many MvC2 sticks were released for the PS3? Thx!

Good question, we made less for PS3. I don’t have the exact number with me though.

Ok, just curious since I read the MvC3 stick was limited to around 5000 units.

Felt pretty good. Had some SF playing it at our local game night, hopefully getting them hip to the panel.

Once you learn the macros, your gold. Good stuff.

Know your uber busy this weekend, Mark but any word on the template? whenever u got time bro. <3

I’ll check with arthong on the template.

Thanks for the feedback all. Any of you guys going to Final Round? I’ll be selling some there.

Hey Mark you came through thanks I will email you details of the project soon

Thank you so much for this, I knew it wasn’t that hard, but this makes me feel a lot more confident when the time comes.

Your welcome, glad I could help! Let me know if you have any questions.

Here is a picture of my TE with the Combat Panel installed.

I’ve played the MK9 Demo and MKvDC with this and I think it works fantastic. I have no problem reaching the buttons I want comfortably.

For MK9 on the Fightstick, you can do the R1 throw using Front Punch and Front Kick pressed together, and you can trigger the XRay by hitting Front Kick, Block, Back Kick together. You can also do the L2 flip stance by hitting both kicks. So yeah, the MK dev team definitely thought ahead for 6 button sticks.
