Pros:This stick has a sleek black finish on the surface. The styling of this stick blends well together.The stick is 100% Sanwa. The buttons are very responsive and accurate. If a move that wasn't intended came out, it's actually your fault this time. The woes felt from your controller are gone now. This stick allows you to perform combos, links, FADC with ease. This stick gives you total control of how you want to play.This works with Xbox as well as Pc. Im using it for pc and it works flawlessly. And, after manually mapping the controls, it works well with Cps3 emulator. I played SF3:3rd Strike with this stick and it performs well.The stick is heavy. Set it atop a table and try to move it... you can't. The table moves instead while the stick stays in place. You don't have to worry about the stick moving around during play because the large weight and rubber grips under the stick keep it in place.Compartment to hide VERY long USB cable. Good placement of the Start & Stop bu
Cons:The buttons are too sensitive. A small snow flake could easily trigger a motion. At the character pick screen, I accidentally chose the wrong character many times because the stick responded to a light touch from my fingers hovering over the buttons a bit too close.The fightstick isn't completely black. All black buttons or everything black would have been cooler. You must open the fightstick yourself and replace the buttons to suit your stylistic needs while voiding your warranty and potentially destroying your stick.The stick's artwork pales in comparison to the artwork seen on other people's customized SE/TE fightsticks. After witnessing them, you grow a sense of envy.Carry the stick with one hand and you will feel like you exercised for a many hours. Yeah, it's THAT heavy.Steep learning curve. This sticks a while to get used to but once you do, you'll never go back.
Mad Catz Official Street Fighter IV FightStick impressions. Posted 12 years ago by James Pikover. The FightStick is nearly identical to the Tournament Edition in terms of functionality. Street Fighter IV TE Fightstick Problem I've got an original Madcatz SFIVTE Fightstick, X360 version, and I cannot for the life of me make it work on this computer. On my old computer (Intel and Nvidia parts) it worked flat out plug and play, but I can't get the same results here.
Overall Review:Overall this is a great product. Using it gives you the sense of being in the arcade itself. You will experience Street Fighter the way it was meant to be played. The combos, link, FADC, etc, favor the joystick users and they can easily perform them consistently because of the convenience and precision the joystick provides. grab the TE and your game will reach levels you thought were impossible. So, what are you waiting for? Buy it now! Oh, and the reason I rated this 4 stars instead of five is because of the high sensitivity of the buttons. If I get pwned after choosing the wrong character again, im gonna explode.. And, this fightstick is the same as the original TE round 1 fightstick. the only difference between them is the artwork and overall looks. They, however, share the same high quality, too-darn-sensitive Sanwa parts.
