Well, to begin with, I have to go into the details. The box is huge, beautiful, colourful, and crafted very carefully to make a perfect presentation (Just like the 15th aniversary controllers).
Now, I'll talk of the most important thing, the controller.
It's construction is very sturdy, heavy, strong, good looking. You'll smash the whole thing and it barely moves.
The joystick is perfect and accurate. I'm just not so used to japanese style ballpoint sticks, I'm more comfortable with "bat" american joysticks but the pros out there like Daigo or Justing Wong use the japanese style so I guess there must be a reason for it. From my own point of view I guess that the japanese style is shorter, so you will need less movement to make the twists to release a hadou (therefore other moves as well), and less movement also to use charge partitioned characters like guile or vega.
This thing comes with a square gate (the hollow in wich the joystick moves).
You can change the square gate to an octo gate but... why!??! the pros use square and I think it's just fine. The real Street Fighter arcades are square gates so this is the nearest to a real arcade machine. It's worth the price all the way.
This is what they call "the best that money can buy".
Both the stick and the buttons are sanwa denshi, the best parts along with seimitsu and, like the real arcades, the buttons are hyper responsive and sensitive, they will never get stuck unless you pour a glass of coke on it (a little joke.
All the parts are also replaceable if they get worn in the future. Stay away of the cheaper 50 bucks version unless you wish to spend some money to change to sanwa denshi parts. (it will end costing almost the same, with a smaller and less sturdy frame).
Well, don't know what else to say. After a lot of crappy controllers Mad Catz made it this time.
The only bad thing about the controller is that you cannot use an xbox mad catz in a ps3 and backwards. A real pity considering that they could make them work for both consoles if they wished so. So if you want to play with a friend that has a different console, bad luck. The only solution is to buy another one. What a pity (again).
You can't go wrong with this piece of art.
