Oh sales…
Haha yeah, unfortunately there is a red tape or buisness protocol that seemingly binds us all at some point or another.
You seem like good people MarkMan, as you gave me a hand when I had some difficulty with a newly purchased product about a year ago. I know you know what I’m saying design wise as I’ve seen posted pictures of your Arcade Stick collection! Most impressive.
Thanks for representing us gamers as much as you can anyway man!
Different color and new art and I bet it’ll be a badass stick. I know the Tekken aspect isn’t going away, but they could still ditch the red.
I saw the blurry pic that Ono tweeted after I got out bed first thing this morning and thought ‘hmm… I’m not so keen’, looked again later at the side on shot and thought ‘ooh - that’s not as bad as I thought!’ and looked at the pics and the comments from Markman and thought: “Yes, Markman is in charge - this will be good”.
I’m also thinking that when markman saw:
he laughed - since last time he put a stick out (MvC3), everyone went “Not another TE Stick!”. I feel sorry for you Markman - you’re dammed if you put out the 2 year old classic, and dammed if you try and innovate again. Here’s hoping you keep trying to bring the A game and manage to get past all the corporate types that are trying to stop you.
[edit to fix the quote]
I didn’t really mean it had to be another TE stick. Just another SF themed TE level stick. 
IMO, we should all wait until we get word from folks who’ve actually tried it. I recall actually not liking the TE when it was first announced (being an old school HRAP fanboy at the time), yet after buying one, it’s now one of my favorites.
Hmmm, the white under piece aside, it looks a lot like a Hori VX. Takin’ a little somethin’ back after Hori infringed upon your Vewlix layout territory, eh Madcatz?
Coming from a guy whose favorite stick is the SE, I am indeed waiting for this stick.
The PRO looks to be fixing the main things I didn’t like about the SE (should be wider) or the V3 (more wrist space, shallow decline).
I want one
It looks like a bigger, red, Standard Edition with the turbo and Home button area on the other side.
Looks really nice IMO. Wish I was there to [S]fondl[/S]playtest them and check out the stuff nobody seems to be talking about (features, build, etc) and take some better pics.
I bet people would like to see it in black or white too.
Dear MarkMan, please make sure the final product is available with a red base.
And has a slope.
kthnx
MarkMan, it looks good in red! Kinda like a variation on a HRAP V3-SA (specifically the angled wrist rest area). I know you can’t talk specifics but can you at least tell us what’s up with the interesting underside?!? Thx!
Just make sure to offer a version without Tekken on it and I’m sold
Please tell me this prototype is far from what the finished product will be. I am a big fan of the TE stick and this just looks disappointing.
I’ll stick with my sticks I have already. No point in shelling out another £150 for something I already have.
While this looks like a nice replacement for the SE.
I like where the turbo panel is placed.
I really would have been more hype for a red,smoke, or clear translucent TE.
Agreed
Don’t like the design on these, personally.
I’m excited to see how the stick’s design turns out after it’s finished.
Geez guys, give Mark a break.
