Nice pads. Has a classic console look to them.

It's really really fluid. No clicking or anything. I don't imagine it will cause much strain on your thumb. Gonna hook it up to my arcade in a bit and try it on some Third Strike.

I definitely don't have any trouble with F,D,DF motions. D,DB,B motions were a little weird...but its probably just me...something I could definitely get used to. I can definitely see how doing it too much could cause some carpal tunnel...but for a D-Pad on the 360 its the best you are going to get. I'm a little worried about doing focus attacks, considering those will be the buttons in the middle, and unless I map the shoulders to 3P and 3K I probably wouldn't be able to do Ultras easily...but again...probably won't be a problem with practice.

How far do you sit from your console? I don't think I've ever actually needed a wireless controller. They're great, but they didn't change my life.

Come on Funky, you of all people should know that hardcore fighting gamers demand nothing but the best. And the best means 100% perfect button reaction time with no possible chances of delays.

Even on low batteries, 360 controllers do not lag. Ever. Anyone who bitches about that is a crappy player. |

That's pushing it. The players could be within a decent range of the console while the others watch from behind/sides. I've simply never seen players that far from a console, not even in public tournies.

They pretty much are right now. Busted 360 and Wii.
Thanks for that sad reminder that I won't be getting to play SF4 for a while. |

If you wouldn't control your games from across town they wouldn't be busted.

Doing a double 360 on a pad just seems impossible to me without jumping. I couldn't see any Zangief player using one.

That command, and the Tiger Knee motion, is just stupid. I like what HD Remix did for those commands and I wish they would just use them in 4.

Think i'll snag this for pc when it comes out along with one of those pads. 360's dpad is beyond pathetic for just about anything.

Just picked up the arcade fight stick from my buddys store. Didn't have a reservation on it but since I used to be an area manager with Gamestop they saved one for me anyway. I love my old store managers. 25% off too

I would have gotten a standard edition fight stick instead of the fight pad, but Best Buy isn't selling them. I mean the fight pad is alright, but the game is still made better for a stick.
-edit- I mean how can you sell the Fightpad and the High-end Tournament Edition stick but not the one in between? I just don't get it. Last edited by Boomer; 02-14-2009 at 04:57 PM. |

That doesn't make sense to me honestly. You sell two out of three new controller products you might as well sell the third. The Tournament Edition sticks sold out everywhere, why not give people a worthy alternative since stock is so low. I mean you only need enough stock for the release really. People will buy them. Large scale vendors sell ridiculous amounts of guitar and drum controllers and Best Buy sells the friggin' Ion Drum Kit (which I've personally rung up three times). I just don't see a good reason. The only thing that is a real telltale sign is that the TE sticks were online-only...but they are still selling them.

They are a giant corporation. If they could, they'd just club you with a blackjack and take your money.

People will pay for it because Monster has the THX stamp of approval, not that it means much.
BTW, I got monster cables on my TV, but I paid a whoping $10 because I have connections. |

If I got my hands on a TE I'd probably eBay it right now too. Demand is ridiculous.

I just dropped a hundred on PSP games, $120 on a new 1TB hard drive and $130 on an NDS emulation set up. Thursday I drop $80 on SF4: CE and probably $35 on the new Fire Emblem for DS (EVEN THOUGH i JUST GOT THE CYCLO DS EVO, FUCK).
My wallet hurts. |

If I was actually making more money right now I would consider padhacking and making my own stick with the TE's parts. Need a good soldering project to work on ATM.

I did that same shit. I went on an eBay spree and bought 8 DS games, only to buy a Cyclo before the games even arrived. And it's not like I could even return them. |
