^ Yep, or you can use a pair of blunt nose pliers to snap it off in one clean motion.
Thanks guys! It seems simple enough. I just have to wait for the parts now.
They were really difficult to get out, weren’t they? I don’t think I’ve had that amount of trouble before!
Seriously, I think I even bruised my thumbs getting them out lol.

Just ordered mine, than god it lasted till tues cause thats when i get paid >.<
Does anybody know if the SFxT VS fits in a Madcatz Fight stick back pack?

It does not fit in the backpack. It fits in the messenger bag, however.
Thanks for for the heads up. Yeah I tested it in the messenger bag from a friend, but it was too tight a fit around it.
Looks like I might be having to order the official capcom bag.
ordered mine last week, waiting for it to come in! i previously had a brawlstick and was looking at a TE or HORI for awhile but when my buddy told me about the $60 off deal i had to get it. top of the line!
I think besides the FightStick Pro, right now the only alternative to the SC V I’d consider would be a V.S. FightStick…
… and I STILL want to get at least one V.S.! I definitely think it’s one of the best two new designs (the other is the SC V) released this year.
I can’t decide if I should take the ECT discount and buy this right now, or wait for the EVO fightstick.
I really wish that the EVO stick gets the same size as the V.S, but there’s no info available about that
Can we have at least a hint about it Markman :sad: :sad:
Would I be sorry if I run out of money to buy Madcatz stuff at EVO?
The ‘in shadow’ image they posted when they announced the evo edition was pretty clearly a ‘Pro’ style stick.
In my opinion, the VS version is WAY nicer than the Pro version. The Pro version is a thinner lighter stick, while the VS is solid and heavy, and very customizable.
IMHO, get a VS for your everyday use, and if you have the money, get an Evo stick there for collecting.
I was considering a Pro as well, but a friend of mine told me that in order to open it from the top like a TE, you actually need to rip off the artwork or something.
I don’t know if this is true or not, but none of the reviews I found online mentions anything about how to open it, and I can’t see any visible screws nearby the buttons on the videos. I also hear that it is lighter than regular TEs too, and I didn’t enjoy the light weight of the UMVC3 Hori Stick.
If the EVO fightstick is pro-sized, I will most likely get a V.S.
