MAdacatz Te quality control c*R*a*p rant/question

Tech Talk
21

Shoot my TE is showing some problems of late too. My punches are kicks sometimes and vice versa… but today I got a win cause of it. Fake hadouken (with punch button coming out as kick) and then a quick dragon punch to seal the deal. Not too bad…

If you hear squeaks, just swap it out with another SANWA from Aki shop. If you got PCB problems, just get a toodles board. If you own an xbox then pad hack a 360 controller and still get a toodles multi console board.

Got cosmetic issues? Just settle it with a arthong with new PIC. It would be a shame to hang around this forum and not customize.

Even if you bought it new like mine, with bit of wear and tear you knew it was going out soon and needed refine your repair skills. LoL

yeah was looking into cutom building my own stick later on. Never did anything like that so gonna be awhile till i get confident enough to pull that off. Pick up the TE stick cause I was sick of not being able to pull off link combo and all with the other sticks i had. Nope not the case even with an expensive stick i suck just as much as before!LOL

An expensive controller does not make you a better player.

24

There is somewhat of a truth to getting expensive controller makes you a little better. Before sanwa parts, I couldn’t even do a fireball. With Sanwa parts, not only can I do special moves, but pull them out consistently. Like slagcoin mentions the japanese jewel of arcade parts were really made for precision.

If you got a SANWA, its more expensive than the $30 stick. Won’t make you the ultimate warrior of fighting games but better controls will cultivate you into a better player than you were before. :woot:

By the way, I suck too… you see that tag under my name? registered noob? yea that…

25

I think what networking meant is that better equipment doesn’t make you a better player in the absolute sense. But it certainly helps if you can’t hit corners on a piece of crap stick but you hit them easily on a JLF or such.

26

YES. Execution is the key, regardless of any arcade parts you use to play with.

27

true, an expensive controller doesnt not make you a better player…

however, a BETTER controller DOES make you a better player

28

No fool. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Practicing will make you a better player.

29

On a bad Arcade Stick, I still play same as with quality Arcade Stick.
And I don’t even play with Sanwa or Seimitsu.

But how can I beat people who use expensive and better Arcade Sticks.
That is because like networkingyuppy said, I practice.

Back in the arcade days, the controls would be messed up too.
But even High-level Competitors play on it; arcades were their only source of practice.

if your button lags or is unresponsive then practicing is useless

31

That’s a broken controller dumbass.

32

lol Oh man, this page is the best. Shits funny as hell!

33

My TE had the accessories taped to the faceplate, left a mark when i removed it

34

Equipment only takes you so far, You need talent.

Give a veteran artist a a lump of coal and cardboard and they will be still be able to make a nice drawing.

Give a someone who just started a $400 set of painting supplies, they probably draw something really fugly.

If I had to play with one of those $30 sticks against a noob, and the stick isn’t broken, I think I’d still be winning plenty of matches using a character who doesn’t rely on tough execution with fundamentals.

35

it a madcatz controller

36

which proves my point, a BETTER controller makes you a better player.

a broken controller will make you a worst player, thus the controller matters

37

:rofl: sleeve is just trolling now

38

lol
networkingyuppy calls me a dumbass yet im the troll?

^ so if these guys practiced with their first controller, they could be just as good as people with perfect working controllers?

“STOP THE FIGHTIN’!!” as mr hanky would say.
