Designed for the serious Street Fighter enthusiast, nothing brings the arcade experience closer to home than the Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick: Tournament Edition. Overseen by Capcom and legendary producer Yoshinori Ono, the Tournament Edition features an unparalleled level of detail and uses arcade quality components. Sourced directly from arcade manufacturer Sanwa Denshi™, the FightStick: Tournament Edition uses the same Japanese style ball-handled joystick and 30mm Action Buttons found in the official Street Fighter IV Vewlix™ arcade cabinet, marking the first time such components have been used for a commercial product outside of Japan. With the D-Pad control switch, dual Turbo functionality for each button, and exact button layout matching the Vewlix Street Fighter IV arcade panel, the FightStick: Tournament Edition delivers an experience unlike any other arcade styled controller. Complete with detailed touches such as screw on rubber feet for solid surface play, unobtrusive placement of the Start and Select/Back Buttons along with a locking mechanism preventing accidental activation of Turbo settings for tournament play, the FightStick: Tournament Edition represents the best possible choice for the hardcore and dedicated Street Fighter fan.
Madcatz Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition After much debate I finally decided to drop lots of money on this stick. I must say that I'm very impressed with it's performance (my performance, sadly, is still quite poor).
Initially purchased for SF4, this stick also works beautifully on other fighting games (BlazBlue, Marvel v Capcom, etc).
The buttons and stick are incredibly sensity and take a while getting used to, but they are consistant and not faulting.
Highly recommened if you are a fan of the fighting genre, and even if you aren't.
Madcatz Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition You have doubt or put off purchasing this product because of its price, but one thing I can say is that this product is worth every dollar~ Their attention to detail amazing and it is the best stick you would of have ever used~
First stick, no regrets! Was having doubts at first because of the costs but you'll be wrong. This stick feels NOTHING like the ones at the arcades(xmen vs sf etc) and is loose/sensitive. It'll take a week or 2 to adapt but its well worth it because its being used pretty much everyday for both PC/PS3 games.
You can easily play this on your lap and it wont even budge an inch. Placing it on your lap is a good practice for the arcades as well because thats where the stick is usually located.
Thank you play-asia for the great stick, arrived in approximately 3 business days with ups.
Awesome! Great,great,great stick!!!It's like playing on the arcade cabinet,simply the best arcade stick ever...can't be any better than this!!!Thanx a lot Play-Asia!!!!
Great Stick! I also own the XCM Rumble Stick and it is night and day these two. The joystick on this one even though it isn't octagonal is so smooth and the grooves aren't deep to the point where you will get stuck or lost in them. The sanwa parts really show.
The buttons are great, they don't click which is awesome, responsive.
The presentation is great, the unit is big and heavy enough that you won't push it around (another problem I had with the XCM Rumble) when playing hard.
It is definitely worth the price compared to other units.
