OFFICIAL STREET FIGHTER 4 TE FIGHTSTICK
Congratulations on your purchase of the official Street fighter IV Tournament Edition Fightstick.
To celebrate the ?memorable? launch of Street Fighter IV, the latese release is one of the world’s most
respected and popular fighting game franchises, Mad Catz Has worked tirelessly alongside Capcom
and the game’s legendary producer, Yoshinori Ono to create a controller which puts an authentic arcade
experience right in your lap.
The Tournament Edition FightStick uses genuine arcade parts from the highly-regarded component maker
Sanwa Denshi,™ the very same parts which are used in official Street Fighter arcade game cabinets.
On behalf of Mad Catz, Capcom and Yoshinori Ono, we wish you many hours of enjoyment with this
exceptional piece of Street FIghter history.
For those of you that ordered off of Gamestop.com, do most people still have the green ‘verifying’ status on their preorders?
will it ever switch to verified, so that I can relax? 
I could not preorder the Madcatz Pad from Gamestop. They were told to stop taking pre-orders on the pad as well. It didn’t even show up in their system. This surprised me. I ended up pre-ordering on gamestop.com instead.
Is my individual gamestop just goofy? Or have all ceased preorders for the Pad?
It looks like it says “momentous”.
I’ll be getting mine in March. Till then I’ll be using a pad…wooooo…woo…
Yeah I thought that too, eh anyways. i pre ordered mine at a local game stop in december im kinda contemplating getting a second one?? but i might just fix my already modded mas stick. also what sku numbers do you guys have?? mine is 802976 te stick for 360
Mine is 802977 for the PS3 TE stick. Everyone who has it reserved at GS should have those SKU numbers.
I would like to know this too. Can anyone confirm if its 3 or 4 meters?
MarkMan confirmed it was 4 meters.
I am getting a USB extender/repeater from monoprice.com because my TV is further away.
That has nothing to do with anything…
I’ve been here since before I was working for Mad Catz and still trying to provide the best info out to SRK members!
Completely unbiased here with EVERYTHING 
What! Markman works for Madcatz!? I feel so violated! that’s it, im buying an X-arcade goes to cancel preorder
Win:rofl:
I hope MarkMan has been cooking up a WRITEUP over at MadCatz:sweat:
I kid I kid lol. Please don’t eat me:confused:
Not my write up… but here is one for you guys to read through…
IGN Review - http://gear.ign.com/articles/947/947933p1.html
TE stick!
9.7, nice
Awesome review! I haven’t seen a product on IGN reviewed that high since the iPhone. Now I’m even more grateful that I preordered the stick before the whole CES conundrum. Again, thanks for bringing us a fantastic stick Markman (and the rest of Madcatz).
Agreed, luckily I as well pre-order before CES.
Very nice! Good job sir!:lol:
One part of the review I thought was a bit funny:
Does anyone do that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that.
I’m just gonna copy/paste what i replied to on the IGN review…
‘‘The scores seem to be pulled out of thin air. Ease of use a 9.8? What would get a 10,having a small Asian girl dressed as Sakura plug it in for you? And how can performance get a 9 when this thing is built with the best parts you can buy? Dunno,just seems so random to me.’’
I would definitely give that a 10.
