    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Fight Stick!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    This is my first fight stick purchase. I have been playing fighting games for years and I finally decided to shell out the money and get one. I have visited many message boards figuring out which fighting sticks were the best and most affordable. I discovered that this one( Mad Catz) and the Hori fighting sticks were the best for affordability and performance. I picked the Mad Catz one because it has a storage device for the 12ft wire right in the back of the base, and also the nice art work on it.

    The performance is spectacular. I have always used the d-pad on a controller for fighting games so i was skeptical switching to a analog stick and 2 rows of 8 buttons, plus the fact that I would have to spend $130 to find out if i liked it or not. It did take time getting used to. I spent a good 2 days getting used to the button layout.Other than adapting to the button layout I am not disappointed at all. This stick is worth all $130.

    The cable length is perfect and more than enough. The fight stick itself is light and I usually just place it on my lap. The buttons are really responsive. I mean I barely touch the buttons and I can perform a move. The analog stick is great. The stick is really responsive as well. All I can say is that the fight stick screams precision. Every move, combo, can be pulled off with precision with little to no error. I play Street Fighter for ours and my hands dont get tired or start hurting. When using the PS3 controller my hands would get cramped. No cramping has occurred when using the fight stick, and I have had it since March 12.Arcade sticks can be fully customized and Mad Catz Fight sticks are one of the most fully customizable when it comes to replacing parts and the artwork.

    I fully recommend this Fight Stick for first time buyers like me who are looking into buying one. Put all worries aside. This stick is great for upping your game. This Fight stick will make you play better period. Its so much more responsive than a normal controller and now I can see this is how fighting games were meant to be played. Worth every penny.

    If you play with this for some time, you will hate it for the plexiglass edge is exposed, not polished nor covered, it will hurt your forearm badly and you just wish to stop after just a short few games.

    either don't buy this, get the regular tournament edition, or cover it with masking tape and your forearm will thank you.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentally Flawed - Square Gate Issues
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I just don't understand these reviews. This stick has a square gate, making fluid fireballs, dragon punches IMPOSSIBLE to pull off. I understand that Street Fighter 4 makes good use of a square gate (and thus has changed the way the dragon punch is input to accommodate this) - but it's still flawed. Pulling off anything with circular motion is counter-intuitive. The corners of the gate prevent any fluid motion whatsoever. It literally feels like you're battling the controller and not your opponent.

    Yes, you can change the gate. Guess what? There are only octagonal gates available. No fully smooth circular gates for this Sanwa stick.

    The product itself is well made. Turbo works great. The buttons feel very high quality. The stick feels high quality, too, with a nice smooth motion.

    Unfortunately, since the design of it is fundamentally flawed, I cannot give this a good rating.

    --------

    Update:

    After having used the stick for 2 weeks with Super Street Fighter 4 (with the stock square gate), I have found that I am getting used to the different gate. With a few exceptions, moves have gotten easier to execute, but nowhere near the ease of a fluid circular gate.

    I find that fireballs are especially difficult to pull off. They require you to almost completely ignore the sides of the joystick, so your stick never touches the sides. It's especially difficult with combos that requiring a standing punch/kick (and not crouching punch/kick), as it requires you to do the fireball motion quickly after doing the initial move. With a circular gate, you can start doing the fireball move as you press the punch/kick. Yet another instance where players are forced to relearn how to do simple time-tested combos.

    On a related note, my previous review was based on Street Fighter 4. After using the stick with Super Street Fighter 4 it feels like Capcom has made it easier to execute moves overall (confirmed after some light research). Of course, that positively affects this sticks performance.

    Therefore, I have increased my initial product rating. However, what still prevents me from a glowing rating is:
    - Both Madcatz and Capcom have hidden the square gate detail from the product description.
    - Madcatz have purposely made it difficult to customize the stick in terms of violating your warranty.
    - This stick does not work right for previous versions of Street Fighter such as Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix, and Alpha 1 and 2 (both available on PSN). These games weren't designed for square gates. Pressing forward then fireball motion is very difficult with the square gate.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Arcade Stick with a ridiculous design flaw
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    This is my first professional grade Arcade Stick. I currently own the poorly made Tekken 5 Arcade stick as well as the Xbox360 wireless Tekken 6 stick. They are very good for beginners, but until I owned this particular device, I never knew what I was missing. The buttons are perfect, never sticky, and are extremely sensitive to the touch which allows for much better execution. The stick is very fluid, and, while it took alot of practice to be able to perform moves, once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go back to standard controllers for fighting games.

    With that said, the most mind boggling thing about this product is the sharp edge. Who thought that this would be a good idea? I am not a wimp by any means, but after a few hours of playing, you can definitely feel the edge rubbing against your wrist. The best way to remedy this is to have perfect posture and make sure you're sitting above the stick with your wrists raised off of the device, however, Mad Catz should have thought this one through more.

    Because of this one design flaw, I cannot give it a full five stars. However, I still recommend this product, as it will lift your game to new heights with the proper practice.
