Street Fighter IV FightStick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wasn't going to leave a review, but seeing as how the first guy to review it doesn't even own one and gave it 1 star for the most retarded reason ever (because people are paying 400 on ebay?), I thought I should give some balance as someone who does actually own one.

I have to say- I was not expecting this stick to be as nice as all the hype built it up to be, but I have to eat my words and admit I was wrong.I got the lucky opportunity to pick one of these up for not much more than retail even though I never pre-ordered it, so I did because I wanted to see what the fuss was about and get a good comparison to the HRAP 3 SA.So far, it's been a great playing experience.It's got some really good weight to it, and obviously the sanwa components are top quality.Feels good on your lap, and very easy to play with in general.I'm not a huge fan of the start/select buttons all the way on the back of the stick...maybe on the right side would have been more convenient IMO, but that's the only complaint I can come up with...

I originally said that I didn't think this stick would be better than the HRAP3 SA, and I still stand by that though.I don't think it's better, BUT I don't think it's worse either.Both sticks have a solid arcade feel to them, and both use genuine sanwa parts.The color scheme of this one is growing on me more, but I might end up doing some kind of art mod later...

Anyway- I'm eating my words, Mad Catz actually made a good controller for once, haha.The fact that Mad Catz made something on par with what I consider the best arcade stick hori has to offer is absolutely crazy to me, but it seems to be true.Don't know how this stick came out so well and the SE version is so full of issues....
