What Stick/Controller Should I Buy? Read the Guide on Pg 1 Before Posting

They have a few different shipping options available.

Ahh ok

Whats up every one well ive decided to get my self a stick
i never used one before so im getting one of the cheap small ones
besides i dont have the money for an expansive one right now anyways
Ive already ordered my self a Hori Fighting stick mini 4 this one
http://stores.horiusa.com/fighting-stick-mini-4-for-playstation-4/
BUT i just heard about the Mad Catz SFV Alpha fightstick this one
http://store.madcatz.com/categories/fightsticks-category/Street-Fighter-5-Arcade-FightStick-Alpha-for-PS4-PS3.html
i dont think i can return my hori but my question is the hori is half the price of that mad catz one
would the hori do me good for now?? i know i should of bought the mad catz one? but its to late now
i will only use the hori temperarly untill i get the hang of it and got the money for an decent sanwa one
any ways are there any pros and cons between those 2 entry sticks?

Where do you see new orders shipping this Thursday? It says 3/3

the tes+ says shipping 2/25 (thursday). huh… actually it must’ve just updated and says shipping now http://store.madcatz.com/categories/fightsticks-category/Street-Fighter-5-Arcade-FightStick-Tournament-Edition-S-for-PS4-PS3.html. hope mine moves out today then (preordered yesterday while it still said shipping 2/25).

the te2+ is the one that is supposedly not shipping until 3/3 http://store.madcatz.com/categories/fightsticks-category/Street-Fighter-5-Arcade-FightStick-TE2-for-PS4-PS3.html

I purchased a TE2+ last week when it said 2/25. Im thinking that it says 3/3 now, because they ran out of the amount they could ship by the 25th. Ill be upset if mine doesnt get shipped til 3/3

i’ve got 3 TE2s so far. even the KI (oldest) of them feels pretty solid. the most recent one seems to feel the best and sit nearly perfectly flush, and i’ve heard the TE2+ is even better. to me, the wider stance of the TE2 feels better in the lap, as i have a few older TEs that i need to keep my legs closer together to keep it on my lap (will vary based on personal size).

Yeah, just got an email from Mad Catz minutes ago, informing me that my TE2+ Has shipped (label created). So they are pushing back the date based on what they have in stock. Purchase it now if you don’t want to continue to wait. Last I checked Newegg had a 2/28 date.

I just came here to post this same thing! LOL

It said “shipping 3/3/16” when I purchased it but I now have a tracking number. There aren’t any more TE2+ in stock but TES+ is in stock and shipping now.

Ok, I have browsed through this thread and seen the issue of the te2 making a creaking noise which doesnt seem to be as big as the plexi problems. I have Te2+ and and it creaks when I apply pressure to the top panel. It only does it near the front right of above where you press the button to open it up. Is this something normal or should I be getting in contact with amazon to maybe get a replacement? I just kind of find it annoying coming from a $250 piece of equipment.

yup. just got a label creation email from mcz. would be cool if it showed up by sat so i could get comfy w/my new fr stick. gotta toss in that tight spring and battop too

The fit and finish of the TE2 leave much to be desired. Both of my TE2s, Persona and Rivals, make some sort of creaking noise if I press on the panel in different areas.

So would the tes+ or hrap 4 kai be considered a better option? Not sure if you or any of the people that respond to my post has any experience with those particular sticks.

If you really hate the creaking, then sure, those are more solid because the top panel doesn’t open like the TE2. I wouldn’t necessarily consider them better options though. Every stick has its pros and cons.

Ordered the TES+ early this morning (11am). Still no shipping email sadly.

according to the mcz site orders received after 11am pst are shipped on the following bidness day. so hopefully tomorrow for you bud

My TE-2+ doesn’t creak.

fyi just refreshed my tracking #. standard shipping out of redlands, ca to atlanta has it arriving next tuesday. =\

If I import a stick like a Hori Pro.V Hayabusa v2 will it work on an American ps4? I feel like it should but I want to be 100% sure before I order it.

I am pretty sure controllers are never region locked. A lot of people imported the Hori FC fightpad from Play-Asia, which is Japanese.
