    This is just so much fun, even girls will play this. Everyone who plays fighting games, especially Street Fighter games, should own an arcade stick. If you want to get to the next level or just have plain old fun,then get this. The joystick and buttons work well and can take a good beating, i would know because i use Ken, and do alot of shoryuken uppercuts! It can easily be set on a table with its bottom rubber grips, or light enough for your lap. The design and feel is awesome, it has the old school feel of it without all the quarters! Punches on top, kicks on the bottom,(light to heavy) or you can customize it on the control settings screen. It will definitely make you better especially if you use someone like Blanka, Bison, Zangief or others who use charging moves as you will have and edge while holding the joystick diagonally and performing the moves flawlessly! Great product overall and you cant beat this price.

    This is the second stick I've got, but both of the ones I own I received in January, so I can't help but compare the SF4 stick to the PS3 Fighting Stick 3. The differences between the two are pretty drastic - the Hori stick was a really good first choice for me because it has stock parts that are decent for first-timers and really got me into playing fighting games again, but because it requires soldering and dremels to properly mod, and because its case is just too small to easily fit Sanwa's JLF and Seimitsu's LS sticks, I didn't feel comfortable opening it up.

    I got the SF4 stick and immediately fell in love with the case - the pictures online don't do it justice. Maybe it's because I was playing with the FS3 for so long and its sticker was starting to bubble and it is lightweight and thin, but the SF4 stick has good weight to it and the art, aside from looking good, really feels like it's protected well from oil and grime from your hands. However, even though I only just ordered it last week, THE WASHER PROBLEM DOES STILL EXIST. While MadCatz may have fixed the problem in sticks just produced, there's no guarantee that your fight stick won't be one that was on the shelf for months with a faulty washer.

    Luckily it's a great stick for modding. I just completed my first ever mod tonight using a Sanwa JLF and OBSN-30 buttons. Unlike the FS3, which has a huge PCB with the buttons directly soldered to it, the buttons in the SF4 stick have quick disconnects and are easily accessed as soon as you open the stick. It's a quick change for the buttons and if you use the proper JLF stick, even quicker there. You almost have to do this - you don't want to be in a position where your joystick is scratching its PCB every time you move, and even if you plan on replacing the stick eventually the washer does impede movements in certain directions every now and then. Sure, you can open the stick up and glue it down, but if you're going to do that and void the warranty, you may as well just put a quality part in there instead. The stock buttons get mushy pretty quickly, too, but aren't as vital as the stick when it comes to exchanging parts.

    If you've never modded before and want a user-friendly stick to start, go with this one! Art templates are found all over online and with all the colors that OBSN-30 and Seimitsu's PN buttons come in, you can really make it your own. Don't be duped into thinking that you need to pay more than retail price anymore, or even duped into believing you need to pay equal to retail price. Amazon's price for the stick fluctuates every day - keep an eye on it and jump when you get the chance.

    From being a pad warrior to a stick warrior is no easy transition! You will get owned by the competition so bad when you first move to a stick from using a pad, it will be really frustrating. Although we all started playing Street Fighter II in the arcade, when it made its way onto the Super NES, most of us became pad warriors. We all learned to beat the computer really easily with a pad, and beat all of our friends most of the time. That being said, I can't really say how inferior/superior this is to a true arcade stick. Coming from a pad, it feels like an arcade stick, it plays like an arcade stick, and it even sounds like an arcade stick.

    To my understanding it is using replica Sanwa parts, rather than real ones, but you can easily mod it to have the real ones (or shell out the extra $70 for the Tournament Edition stick which uses real Sanwa parts). Once again, coming from a pad, I can't really tell.

    If you're coming from a pad as well, there is a pretty tight learning curve to movements, and execution that you may not be used to. I'm still not getting the most basic QCF, QCB + Attack motions perfectly. Thankfully, go into Training Mode and put your inputs on screen to see what you're doing wrong. I've learned on the stick, I'm pressing an attack button before going all the way to forward/back. So, you can learn to correct your mistakes.

    However, there are more things you can do on a stick than you ever could on a pad. Challenge Mode is a good example. There are just things that are so much easier to do on a stick than a pad. The easiest example I can think of is Guile's Ultra/Super. DB (hold) to DF, back to DB to UF + Kick. You can do this so much easier on a stick. I can say I can do it nearly 100% of the time with the stick. With the pad, I had to resort to the analog stick, and hold DB, then spin it 720 degrees and hope luck would get it out (maybe about 50% of the time). C. Viper is easier to use with a stick, for example her High Jump execution is much easier.

    Short cut commands work on a stick that I couldn't get out on a pad. Shoryuken shortcut DF, DF + Punch works every time on a stick. I couldn't once get that to work on a pad.

    The start/select buttons are on the back of the stick, away from you. It's a bit of an annoyance to have to reach over there, but given the size of the thing, I understand the spacing. The Home button is in the upper left corner, along with switches to lock something (never used), and a Turbo setting (never used). Not sure where Turbo would help, since so much of the combos now are timing based; just mashing won't work so Turbo kick, or punch won't help either!

    My girlfriend doesn't really like the stick. The buttons chatter and are noisy. She says it sounds like a sewing machine. Everything seems solid, I don't think I could break it from playing with it. If anything did wear out, just be aware that you can replace parts with true Sanwa parts (maybe it makes a difference) rather than by a new stick.

    After using this fight stick for not even a week multiple buttons lagged in response time and the others completely stopped working!! Spend a couple more bucks on something more durable in my opinion!

    いろいろ悩みましたが猫FSにしました(RAPは音がマジうるさそう・・・TEは高すぎるのでこのあたりで)
    スティックの操作性に関してはナナメの認識範囲が少し広く感じる程度。(操作が粗いほうなので左右がシビアに感じる)
    ボタンはパチパチと歯切れよく良好です。配置等はアーケードと同じで満足してます。音も気になりません。
    しばらくしてスティックとボタンは三和パーツに換装しました。粗い操作でも正しく入力できるようになり大満足です(なんかキャラの反応良くなって落ち着いて操作できるようになった・・・)
    自分なりの評価は三和パーツに換装して☆☆☆☆☆です。本体の重量感はちょうど良く天板のどっしり感は鋼板を使用してるのでブレがなくて大満足。
    RAPのほうも捨てがたいですが三和で換装した猫FSはTEに比べて安価だしアーケードそのままだと思います。
