Official Street Fighter IV FightSticks & FightPad Thread (More on the way!)

no… its because someone else is looking over their shoulders

Someone else at Capcom. Named Seth.

Killian.

Well I have not gotten my mitts on the sticks in person yet but and I am looking forward to the TE , ST, and pad

Seeing inside the TE, ST sticks (being a DIY) person makes me feel like I can mod them or keep at stock looks like HQ stuff to me. Makes me excited to get the ST stick, to try my first mod.

After seeing all the options for the TE easily surpasses the VSHG and HRAP3 in layout size and is mod friendly +

I?m sure the more experienced people here will chime in.

btw:American style arcade stick will be in collection if you make it! lol

I hope that every stick you guys make are as easy to mod as these two.

I’m with you on this. Easily moddable sticks are the future.

Where can I check out the inside of the standard edition fightstick?
Edit: found it

I can’t wait for mine to come in. Thanks for keeping us updated, MarkMan. =p

I think you guys couldn’t have possibly done a better job. When I (and many others no doubt) was just getting into joysticks and all that I’d buy garbage ones thinking that’s fine, around the same price you can get a SF FightStick and if someone ever does get more into it, it’s a nice surprise that it can be modded. I honestly think you’ve done an amazing job and if MadCatz decides to give you a Mercedes as a bonus for a job well done, I’d say you should get two. MadCatz I think will play a big part in getting fighting games recognized again, and I’m excited for that.

What what!

Actually Madcatz have stepped up their products as of late, look at their Rock Band stuff. Its not just joysticks they are making all kinds of actually good peripherals.

Don’t know if it has been posted yet, but this video is definitely worth to be watched (SF IV, TE and FS inside).
Enjoy

its been posted in the sf4 section man thanks anyways

A friend of mine wanted to get a stick to play on the computer. Hes not too hardcore but wants a good stick to play and hates it to no end when the controller is the reason he cant pull off his moves. After playing SFIIHDR on the 360 pad, the guy almost swore off the xbox forever. >_<

Would you guys recommend the PS3 HRAP3 or the MadCatz regular FightStick?

I wanted to recommend the HRAP to him but I dont know if its plug and play for the PC. If it isnt, is it hard to setup? Is it just drivers to install? He likes the HRAP too since he wants something bigger and a bit better than the Fightstick but hes a bit computer inept.

2009 is the year Madcatz is going wild, they should just spend their time making sticks from now on.

You guys NEED to make more sticks :lovin: Personally I love bigger arcade sticks than the smaller ones such as the Hori FS3. Why bigger? Because it’ll be heavier and no sticks are going to be flying as I try to pull off some moves.

You guys had restored my interest in Mad Catz again :wgrin:

for all the guys in the U.K game has a preorder code on the tills in store but i dont know about the stock situation or whether they are guarenteed.
at the moment there is no charge to order you just need to be a reward card holder.
might be worth ordering one and see how it goes as there is no obligation to collect it if you dont want it.

tks for the heads up!

I knew it! The SFIV are just a prototype for building the “next big thing” at MadCatz!

Therefore, they will not focus on making more SFIV TE’s but on the upgrade!
I kid, I kid…actually, I hope, lol

I own a PS3. Why can’t an arcade stick have bluetooth technology?

I’ll buy one! But wouldn’t it just be the TE stick. But with the iL Eurojoystick Tear Drop Handle P-E2 and Horizontal Convex Push Button PSL-L-CV with Cherry D44 microswitches and .187" terminals? And a different button layout.

Yeh…I’m curious as to why the sticks can’t be wireless. Lag? Production costs?

Okay WTF. I’m getting sick of seller dishonesty.

From alternativedvd.com:

Will ship on or after 2/22/2009
Billing will not occur until item is shipped.

FALSE. They took payment from my card today.

At least they’re listed as out of stock now - unlike VGC.
