    I really want to get the stick for SFIV but I don't have much fate in Madcatz from past experience of their products breaking easily. I hope this is worth the money I'm going to inevitably throw down on it.

    @-MasterDex-: If you are laking faith, wait until some reviews are out. I am pretty sure you will not regret purchasing the TE Arcade Stick, if you end up purchasing it.

    @oldskuel: Th TE is waay out of my price range for a controller. I will get the regular edition if the reviews are good for it though, last thing I want is to be stuck with the 360 controllers shitty D-Pad.

    Except for the "z" in skinZ, they seem to have everything in order don't they? The arcade stick aesthetic seems to be alright.


    Does anyone else think the turbo button toggle will cause problems online? That's a big disadvantage for the non-stick players...

    I consider myself a massive 2D fighter fan but I cant play with an arcade stick to save my life. No matter how effortlessly I can pull of moves with a d-pad, I feel like less of a man...

    @Superspecs: If you're getting SFIV on the 360 then a stick is a must. The 360 controller has the worst Dpad for 2D fighters, I can't imagine trying to play SFIV using it.

    Pics showing the difference between the versions? :P To know how much money I should blow on one.

    Am I the only one who thinks that this kind of controller would only make it harder to play?

    @Christoph: Admittedly not being that familiar with the advanced controls of Street Fighter IV, I will say that for most fighting games, anyone playing with a stick will absolutely wipe the floor with anyone using a standard controller. The main reason being that it's much easier to press multiple buttons simultaneously with a stick, as most fighting games require for the more advanced moves. Circular controller motions are also a lot easier with a stick than with a controller. (Though most cheap sticks these days have a square "hole" for the controller, so it's a little harder to do these motions than on a better stick.)

    As I said before, I hope that Street Fighter Arcade Stick is worth the impulse buy that's eventually going to happen.

    @Tha-Militant: @Tha-Militant: Agreed. This controller looks really good but I hope I can hold off on it until some reviews come in. If not then my wife will just be getting my dick in a box.

    I think you just convinced the entire community of Kotaku singles to stay single.


    Hey, editors, you need to make another post about your extremely adorable children to counteract this.
