Post by: Smooth Groove on September 12, 2008, 02:01:43 PM: So that's the official SF4 joystick? :-\

I've no faith in Madcatz. Guess I'm just gonna have to get a PS3/360 stick from arcadeinabox.

Those fighting pads will change, those ones at the show are not reflective of the final design.

Post by: cool breeze on September 12, 2008, 05:55:46 PM: I like the Saturn/Genesis D-pad more, but it is still a great pad for fighting games. It is basically the middle ground between an analog stick and d-pad.

Post by: Jansen on September 12, 2008, 06:12:05 PM: sucks that the 360 pad is wired but since i use a wired pad 70% of the time i'm okay with it.

now i just need to know when they are available for preorder.

markman said that the dpad design is not final.

Post by: UnoIllNino on September 12, 2008, 08:06:22 PM: What exactly is "premium" about the premium sticks aside from having better art? Its the same shitty "ball-on-a-stick" and the same outtie buttons. No HAPP controls? No sale.

The premium sticks supposedly use real arcade parts like the HRAPs and Virtua Stick. Depending on the reviews, I might just buy two premium stick for the 360 and PS3. An arcadeinabox PS3/360 stick would cost the same. It's better to have two sticks for the same price.

Post by: Robo on September 12, 2008, 08:29:21 PM: I can tell just from looking at it that the standard stick is complete garbage. The "premium" stick looks to be exactly like the ~$60 VF5 stick.

$130 for that is a joke.
