Hey Markman, I’m VERY interested in this “S” series stick. I gotta get one. Please let us know ahead of time, when this stick will be available.
Yeah, definitely let us know when and where we can pre-order. Thanks!
yes plz let us know asap
When preorders go up, I’ll let you guys know.
will i have to wait 3 months after release if i pre-order this one?
that’s a good question lol. when the very first TE came out, we had so much shipment and back order problems. will it happen again for this? or is madcatz better prepared this time around.
in cicada i believe markman said they are prepared this time and there wont be backorder problems like the te stick
i highly doubt it, only reason is most of the people that wanted a stick already have the original TE, i don’t see THAT many people re-buying, if anything i’d re-buy the old ones for “cheaper” 
Also, if anyone cares, some TE “S” comparison photos with the original TE.
Thanks for the comparison shots Markman. This was the convincing factor to wait for the new one as a back up stick. What is the material on the face? It looks too thin to be plexi and doesn’t appear to be metal (of course that could just be the lighting).
really nice stick! is it true that they made some changes to improve the pcb?
Weird, it really doesn’t seem to be that much thinner as I was expecting. I was expecting it to be 1/2 inch thinner than the original. It’s definitely not as wide.
What about weight, Markman? Does it feel significantly lighter?
how much will it cost to preorder one of these. D=
probably 50 bucks
Hrm. I better cop another TE before that type of case goes out of production. I personally like the sides better on the OG TE.
Thats a Beautiful piece of fighting game machinery :love: thanks for the pics! can you show some upfront pictures of the black one when you have the time?
hey mark do you have a upclose pic of the all black one?
I do, been waitin’ for said photos.
Looks awesome, put me down for at least one. 
xnammerx - why not preorder on amazon.com, the capcom store, or gameshark/madcatz store? Something seems shady about putting down actual money for something early. With such a short time period, it’s not a big deal, but think of all the interest places like GameStop make off YOUR money when like 20,000 people put down $5 for something they won’t even get for 2-3 months!
Can someone clue me in, are the color choices platform specific or can you get black or white in PS3 OR Xbox 360? Has that even been detailed?

thanks for the comparison pics - i really don’t see much of a diff at all.
as they say a picture is worth a thousands words.
meh, it’s cool and all but i’ll stick with my rnd2 stick.
so are these coming with the dark hai buttons with white on the far buttons? and do these come with a nice little mini stick/alan wrench?
