Is there a reason the black version of the SSF4 TE is cheaper than the white one?
I has questions.
Just made a thread about this and feel like a dummy now.
Anyway, I am planning on getting a stick. I just had a few questions, maybe by people who made the switch from pad to stick.
What control scheme should I use? How hard is it to make the switch? How long does it take to get back to my A-game? Is it worth it?

not really hard, but you will take losses. it depends on how much you play each day, but it usually takes about 2 weeks to get comfortable. probably a month or two to you’re about the same.
depends on you. is a stick worth $100? for me yea.
Ok, ordering my stick now.
Getting the MadCatz FightStick SE. I wanted to know if I should go ahead and buy new parts(buttons, stick, Gate) while I have the money and be broke for a few months, or just stick with the stock parts while I learn how to use it and just get the better parts later on.
I have absolutely no stick experience except for MvC2 at the arcade a couple times, I expect the process of learning to be painstaking and annoying, but I think it’ll be worth it in the long run.
Also, I know that Square and Octo gate is a matter of preference, but I wonder what would be better for my mains fighting style. I use T. Hawk mainly and I hear that the Octo gate is better for full rotations.
Well a stick(20ish) and 6(2 per button) together rounds up around 30-40ish. Dunno, you decide.
Also try sticking with a square for a while. Practice makes you get used to it.
I played in Japanese arcades for a few months learning to play fighting games. But now that I bought a Seimitsu stick (HRAP EX SE) when I go back to regular Sanwa sticks I can’t use them for crap! Since most arcades I have seen use Happ or Sanwa I am really out of luck, I have serious execution problems. I am considering buying a looser stick just because it’s unfortunately the norm.
However I prefer the buttons on this controller. They felt cheap at first but I really like them now
What is best to set the MadCatz TE stick to, LS or DP? Is there any difference in the way it registers inputs?
Set it to DP. LS has noticeable input delay.
is there a te quality stick that works with pc, xbox and with gravy on top ps3?
im using a tekken 6 stick which is great but i sort of want to go to the next level when i see it fo rthe right price 
Hey all, I’m looking upgrade my SE with Seimetsu buttons (i hear they have a clickier feel than sanwa) and a sanwa jlf. Went to lizardlick and there is a JLF promoted as a drop in replacement for the SE. But it disclaims “no wiring harness”… ummm is that something else i need to purchase?
Do I also need to purchase a ball top or will the one that came with the SE suffice?
also with the fightpads please set it to DP (at least on 360) - they are HORRIBLE on LS
Seimitsu buttons generally feel kind of cheap, at least the ones with HRAP EX SE. I love them but at first I wasn’t too keen on them.
should i get a fighstick if i’m only going to play SSIV online
It depends on how dedicated to Street Fighter, and subsesquent games, you’re thinking of being.
I took the leap of faith about a month and a half ago, and I’m probably at least twice as good as I was previously. It takes time, but it’s worth it if you’re willing to dedicate yourself to Street Fighter over other games. It’s your call, but a stick would help you dedicate yourself anyhow, with them costing so much, and feeling so cool.
If you do choose to go for a stick, go for any MadCatz Tournament Edition (Round 1, Round 2, S, MvC etc), they’re all the same essentially and are really well built using Sanwa buttons and sticks, which are godlike compared to the parts you’d get in cheaper sticks; they cost more in the short run, but in the long run you’ll save money, just do some research and try to find one at the cheapest price you can. You won’t regret it.
The only difference between the two is the aesthetic… so … I guess people like white more.
No you don’t need to purchase a “wiring harness” since it is already in the SE. It’s the wire that plugs to the stick.
The ball top that comes with the SE is fine unless you want another color ball top
The fact that they said no probably means it won’t. Plus if the TE doesn’t work on PS2 games, it also may mean it doesn’t work on PS1 games. Do you already have a TE?
Frustrating…
Hello! im new one at teh forums and i bought arcade stick.And i strated with Ryu with Ps3 controller and i was able to do sum level 16-20 trials wit him… Now i have been playing for about 2 weeks and i cant pull of even trial where you need to pull cr.mp,cr.mp,cr.hk 
so do just practice like hell or is there sumthing frong with me(combos like cr.lpx3,cr.mk,tatsu etc are hard as hell to pull)
I just tried, it works fine. I have a 40GB fat ps3(don’t know the model/serial, not gonna check) and a TE stick and I was able to play castlevania SOTN as long as the switch was set to directional pad… Seemed oddly laggy though, but I only tried it for like 5-10 seconds, just long enough to check every button. shrug ymmv
