Ideal for gamers favoring a traditional console controller without wishing to compromise on features, the Street Fighter IV FightPad features an enlarged circular eight-way floating D-Pad and arcade style six-button configuration. An integrated D-Pad switch allows gamers to alternate between D-Pad and Analog Sticks and combined with official artwork featuring an assortment of famous Street Fighter® characters, the Street Fighter IV FightPad is destined to be the controller of choice for discerning fans and those seeking a competitive advantage.
For street fighters in training. If you are too entrenched with playing your fighting games on a pad to change then this is the pad for you.
Honestly, this is a no brainer. With a great d-pad and 6 face buttons, it blows the ps3 and 360 standard controllers out of the water.
If you're willing to go up a notch, then have a look at some of the great Hori sticks Play-Asia is selling. Otherwise you have no choice - get this pad or be forever average at fighting games! :)
My Street Fighter IV gameplay has improved! Ever since I received Street Fighter IV on the Xbox 360, I have been suffering with the rigid D-pad on the default Xbox 360 controller. But after getting this from Play-Asia, my gameplay has gotten a lot better.
The down-up, and half-circle motions get a lot easier in capcom fighting games, making them a lot more fun. I have also discovered that the Fightpad works very well with the old-school games re-released on Xbox Live.
That said, if you're more of a Tekken, or Soulcalibur fan, the Fightpad may not have much t offer you.

Thank you Play-Asia! Thank you staff of the Play-Asia, the service was again perfect and has arrived in my Pad Chun Li, I now have two Fight Pad and no longer suffer with the joysticks 360 hehe.
Fightpad for Street Fighter IV Definitely the best street fighter controller out there but it's not without its flaws. Button rebound needs to be stiffer/faster for precision response especially when doing fast repetitive presses. The switch on the back also sometime has issues causing the D-Pad to no respond as expected. (the switch makes the d-pad act as the Right or left analogue sticks when selected). Also the D-pad need to be tighter, its "Float" sometimes makes it difficult to be precise. But all in all, if you like street fighter, then you really should get this pad, or an arcade stick.
This is The Best Pad For Capcom Fighting games. Work Great!

Perfect Joystick!!! This joystick has helped me too, the joy of the Xbox 360 is horrible for fighting games, facilitated my life to fight pad SFIV. Now for the complaints of my friends quit, I have to buy a fight pad SFIV. Thanks Play-Asia for the great service.
A good pad from MadCatz?? Well, the name MadCatz its not a good one when we talk about pads, but the quality of this one is way better than any other MadCatz pad in the past. The buttons are solid and you can smash them without any problem and very quickly (and if you are lazy, you have a turbo option).
The pad responds very good if you use Hadoken-type movements, but when we try to do charge based movements (hold 2s back, then front, for example) the pad is not very acurate, and sometimes it seems that is a 4 direction pad instead of an 8 one.
Resume: If you are a Shotokan player (Ryu, Ken, etc...) go for it, but if you use charged-based characters (Balrog Boxer, MBison Dictator, etc...) then you could be disapointed, so think twice.
The best pad for SF 4 It was so long, but now I have it !!
For me it's THE perfect pad to play SF4.
Really perfect, I have the original Xbox360 pad and for SF4 it was really not good.
When I've received and tried this pad with SF4, waoooo !! It was like day and night, this pad is fantastic. I hope it will last a long time. On top it will probably be perfect for KOF XII.
