That Guy

New to the fight stick and loving it.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2014

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

I recently have purchased and received this fight stick after reading up on it and seeing the great reviews. Being new to the fight stick scene, I will admit that I pretty much suck with the stick. I wasn't terrible, but not all that accurate with it, but with how great the stick is, I'm more than happy to practice with it and improve my fighting game skills.

Points:

- Sanwa Parts. Now, being new to fight sticks as I mentioned, I wasn't sure how impressive the sanwa parts would be and can only compare it to a fight stick I had for the first xbox when I was younger. That particular stick had very stiff buttons and the stick took some effort to move. Compared to that and my expectations, the sanwa parts are smooth, easily pressed and yet feel solid enough to "slap around" a little.

- Weight. The weight is good. While the size doesn't allow it fit on my lap very well (I tend to sit indian style) to stay there for long, it didn't budge much while it was on sitting there. Didn't budge much at all when I laid it on the floor later either.

- Chord. The chord is plenty long for me and even has it's own little area to store it in when it's not in use. However, I'll have to figure out the proper way to put it back as thus far, the panel is sort of part open due to improper bundling I'm sure.

- Start and Select placement. The start and select buttons are at the front of the stick instead of on top, which for me works just fine. I didn't find it all too hard to get used to using it there and it's better than having it somewhere it could get slapped during the middle of a game.

IN THE END: I've still got a lot to learn in order to get good with any stick, but I feel that this stick will make that process enjoyable. I offer this review to those new to the fight stick scene and say that if you can get it for around what I did (about 92.00 like new, used) it is most definitely worth it. I got this stick because it seemed like it'd be fun to learn and use and because I want to get a little more serious about my skill in fighting games (stick doesn't make you better, but it's a solid tool to help) and this stick, in my opinion at least, fits that role well.

Works with ANY fighting game that doesn't need analog

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2012

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

I love this fighting stick. I used to play SF like crazy growing up, and bought this stick so my friends and I could go head to head arcade style at home. It's great to have a stick because everyone's buttons are default to the arcade so it speeds things up. It's made from quality Sanwa parts, and comes in an awesome looking packaging. I wish they would make the elongated sticks rather than the round balls though. That's my personal preference and what I was used to growing up. The cord is very long, and can be tucked away when not in use.

The only other stick I can compare this to is the Hori Soul Calibur stick. Both sticks feel sturdy, and both use Sanwa parts. I don't have a preference for either one, but I have owned this one longer. It did take some getting used when I first got it to as I couldn't pull off combos with it as quick as I could with the controller. I think I'm getting old!

I highly recommend this fighting stick. SHORYUKEN!

Excellent high-end stick for the serious fighting game enthusiast

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2010

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

This is a high end stick for the serious player. After doing a lot of research, I settled on this stick and am not disappointed. It is the equivalent of going to an arcade, chopping off the control panel, and bringing it home. Yes, it's that good. High quality Sanwa parts, joystick ball rotates, short throw square gate, convex buttons, nice and heavy so it stays put, super sensitive buttons and joystick inputs, metal construction, and very durable. I often times smash down on the pad when I get frustrated and it hasn't broken yet! This is awesome for SF, MK, MVC, and really any other fighting games out there. Replaceable buttons and gate (can get octagonal and circular for under ten bucks) make it very customizable. This stick is so worth the extra money vs. the cheaper models that lead to constant frustration and never-ending plans for how to upgrade them. Just get this and you won't ever need to upgrade since it's perfect right out of the box.

Excellent Stick, not perfect, but very close

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2010

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

This Fight Stick is Excellent. I've had a Hori Fighting Stick 2 for PS2 for a number of years and this is way superior to that and the Fighting Stick 3. I bought this because my ps2 to ps3 converter wouldn't work anymore after the 3.5 update. I've had it for a few weeks already.

Pros:
- It's very large, and quite heavy, which great as it wont move around if you place it on your table.
- The Rubber feet are really nice and grippy and will prevent sliding (wipe them before putting them on the surface)
- Real Sanwa buttons and Stick, feels just like the arcade stuff because it is the arcade stuff
- Really long cable! with cable storage
- Works with my macbook in either OSX or Windows XP bootcamp using MAME Tunes
- Extremely good build quality (except for the compartment cover), Madcatz surprised me here.

Cons:
- Cheap cable compartment cover, it's made from really thin plastic, and i'm always scared of breaking it off.

Bottom Line:
Really expensive for the casual gamer, DON'T get it unless you find it for less than $100, it's not worth the occasional gaming session. But if you want a high quality arcade stick, this is one of the great ones to get, you won't regret it.

The arcade stick that popularised Sanwa

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2015

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

Sanwa Denshi, the venerable Japanese company responsible for the ultra-sensitive components found in Japanese arcade cabinets, has always been the gold standard for quality parts that other manufacturers could only jealously imitate at best. There was a time when the only way to get quality components was to buy them piecemeal and assemble a stick yourself, or go through clandestine import channels.

Then this stick came along. The logo may say Mad Catz, but the components are unmistakably Sanwa. Riding on the back of the explosive rebirth of the fighting genre ignited by Street Fighter IV this stick was the easiest way for those in the west to get their hands on a quality stick en masse. I can safely assert this one stick alone is responsible for turning more people onto playing stick than any other that came before or after.

And it's down to a few key points:

1) Again, the parts are pure Sanwa. 100% identical to those used in arcades.

2) The construction of the box itself: It's a heavy, bulky slab of a button-housing. The housing itself may well be the only aspect of the sticks' design that Mad Catz themselves are responsible for, but its calibre stands aside that of the Sanwa parts it houses.

3) Modability: Removing the screws on the top (you will require a non-standard screwdriver!) allows the user to access the inside of the stick, making swapping out the artwork plate, buttons or the stick relatively painless - all without voiding the warranty.

If nothing else the ease of modability also extends the lifespan of the stick, allowing the user to cheaply replace failing components if and when necessary.

To put this purchase into perspective: Back when I bought this stick I was a poor student for whom £80 for a novelty videogame controller was no small investment. And I don't regret a penny I spent on it. The quality and responsiveness in comparison to cheap £30-40 sticks is night and day. This is the real deal.

Very good controller with sanwa components, be aware PC gamers for compatibility

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2011

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

The controller is very good. Has turbo configurable on the 8 buttons,ps button and let you select what the stick simulate (left analog,right analogh,or directional button). For pc gamers: The ps3 version is only compatible with some USB controller. If you want full compatibility buy the microsoft version that has Drivers on PC. Fortunately on my asrock vision i had a USB 3.0 port on the back that is compatible with the controller (the only ports on the 8 i have...). I gave 4 stars for the PC issue, but if i remember correctly on the box they doesn't claim pc compatibility,so let's say it's not their fault but it's a problem anyway...

Loved it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2018

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

Great arcade fightstick. I used it alot with my PS3 playing SF4. I wasn't a great SF4 player by any means, but I definatily played better with this than with the controllers. Combos were just easier to execute.
I haven't been using it in the past few years but it still works.

Great arcade stick

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2015

Platform: PLAYSTATION 3Edition: TournamentVerified Purchase

Great arcade stick, quality sanwa parts, very easy to change buttons or the stick itself if you want to go for a different look. For use on a PC, you need a usb port with a VIA chipset. Works flawlessly on both PS3 and PC. Review is somewhat late but doesn't take away from how good it is.
