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....

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition S - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Certainly this stick is a little pricey but in the end it is worth it.The design is heavy duty and will last for a TON of fights.It is also modable which makes it an even better value.Most Hori sticks will run you about the same amount of money or more and won't be as durable or have as responsive buttons.Best stick I've ever owned and Madcatz will be my source for all my future fightstick purchases.

Street Fighter IV FightStick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this item in anticipation of the release of Street Fighter 4 and with the knowledge that the stick would be the very best stick ever released.Mad Katz--who has not historically been known for high-quality peripherals--did not fail to deliver on that promise.

As an owner of an Hori Real Arcade Pro 3 stick, I must say this stick is clearly superior out of the box. The buttons are of substantially higher grade, the panel is easily changeable (for custom art), the stick is ported directly from the arcade Street Fighter 4 cab.

The stick also features amenities that show it was made with a lot of love by people who play with arcade sticks.The housing for the USB cord is convenient, discrete and useful.The internals are easy to get to (simple removal of 6 screws on the top plate, allowing direct access to all parts), which is significantly faster than my HRAP3 (which requires removal of the bottom panel and a socket wrench to remove nuts inside the device in order to open the top panel.The top panel itself is large enough to allow for hands to rest comfortably. Turbos are cool.

There is more than can be said about how good this stick is, but the bottom line is this: For those looking for a stick that is by virtually all accounts PERFECT out of the box, your choice is clear.

If you can find this stick, don't hesitate.
