@GuyMcpersonLol lmao i started typing my comment, saw yours, realized it was the exact same, and backspaced xD

[darkamascara]

i wanna buy an arcade fightstick like this one because of ur review but do u recomend this one or other ones cuz i wanna buy one but i don't know about fightsticks

[darkhero36]

Sanwa* Damn android auto correct

[fr1ngeTV]

@darkhero36 I turn auto correct off ^^

[darkhero36]

I think that the round 1 and round 2 edition have real Sanwa parts and then they have mass produced lower grade dames for their Super Street Fighter IV TE sticks. Or perhaps they had mass produced parts for all their TE sticks because reviers who have custom arcade says that the buttons real a little weird very similar but kinda weird.

[kasim521]

i want to buy this for ps3, but someone told me it will be useless for future consoles and that put me off from buying it. what do you guys think?

[fr1ngeTV]

@kasim521 Idk if it will compatible with obviously the XBOX 720 and PS4 but as of now it's compatible with current systems.

[Zico10101010]

@fr1ngeTV i confused betn these and street fighter x tekken fightstick,what do you think?

[DSkehan2004]

is this controller compatible with playing super street fighter iv?

[fr1ngeTV]

@DSkehan2004 lol it's compatible with all games on Xbox. You could even play Gears of War with a fight stick it just wouldn't work out to we'll.

[DSkehan2004]

@fr1ngeTV i'm getting this for PS3

[fr1ngeTV]

@DSkehan2004 Glad to hear that, hope you are happy with your choice :P.

[W3irdVids]

Thx for the good review, ordered mine today ^^ can't wait :D

[fr1ngeTV]

@W3irdVids Wicked. Please make a video response, I can't wait to see ^^

[mynameisvirdal]

Just bought my stick this morning cant wait :)

[buzsub03]

Thanks for the review! I wanna get one to go with my MK joystick. Thanks again!

[fr1ngeTV]

@buzsub03 Thanks for your interest in the video, glad you enjoyed it. :)

[shadowkid1993]

what's up with the gay music ?

[fr1ngeTV]

@shadowkid1993 Blocked!

[SuperSkitzzo]

@shadowkid1993 lol i have the first song on my ipod :D umad?

[781RELLIK]

what the difference between this and the the regular cheaper one? haha

[DragonBallPiece]

@781RELLIK well there is a major difference i'm not even joking like with some other ones the the input might not come out and the buttons might not respond.

[DDRFreak410]

Do you know what size the default buttons are suppose to be.

I wanna know because I plan modding my Round 2 stick to look like this:

t2.gstatic(dot)com/images?q=tb­n:ANd9GcT1_TxFa1n2n4myLR1f4Hzt­J0M_JdfXSii8O6mUH8HcxiXVDXiy

[fr1ngeTV]

The start and back button is around 18mm, and the default buttons are 30mm. I also used a 30mm ball top, that is orange. You won't see that in this video, so you are going have to go to my mod video to see that. For a website I recommend Lizard Lick, they are amazing and fast for shipping :) good luck and happy moding.

[DDRFreak410]

@fr1ngeTV Oh ok. I wasn't sure until now. Thank pal, you've been very helpful and save me time and money from buying the wrong buttons and having to get new ones. When I finally get my stick. I'm going to make a video response to one of yours and make a shout out you. Definite subscribed for sure!

[fr1ngeTV]

@DDRFreak410 I will be expecting the video response, I am always excited to see custom moded fight sticks :). Thanks for the sub as well, I very much appreciate it <3.

[DDRFreak410]

@fr1ngeTV No problem pal. I see that you play on Steam as well. Add me, Xecutar

[darkhanum]

I'm not sure if this has been answered already but can someone tell me if this is compatible with both PS3 and Xbox 360? (And PC)

If not, how could I get one high-end fightstick compatible with those 3?

[fr1ngeTV]

@darkhanum This fight stick in particular is Xbox 360 compatible only. You can how ever get the same one for PS3, but if you are looking for one that is compatible with all 3 then you would have to use something like a Qanba Q4 3-in-1 Real Arcade Fight stick. How ever there is a guy on Youtube that did a circuit board mod and made his own PS3, Xbox 360, and PC compatible fight stick.

[darkhanum]

@fr1ngeTV Thanks for everything! I'm going to search both options and decide. I'm not confident with my ability to mod anything but I'll look for it anyway ^^

[fr1ngeTV]

@darkhanum Np bro, thanks for stopping by the video ^_^

[Ivy65446565]

I know this is probably a stupid question but can you use this to play online with for fighting games?Like is it considered cheating?If you can is it against the rules to use the turbo online?I just bought an arcade stick to use for Blazblue and Street Fighter and it has turbo and I'm really worried I'll be banned and I just signed up for live like 3 days ago lol but anyways could you be banned for using it online with turbo? Or even without it?

:)

[fr1ngeTV]

@Ivy65446565 At tournaments, it's not allowed, but you can use it when ever you want other than that. ^_^

[gerherbel]

what is a turbo button for?

[fr1ngeTV]

@gerherbel The turbo button turbos the buttons, and make then some what rapid fire. I don't use this, and I don't recommend it, because it is an unfair feature.

[Brewskis4Broey]

can you put a larger mm ball top (like 35 or 45) on the stick?

[fr1ngeTV]

@Brewskis4Broey You can put what ever size you want on the fight stick bro :)

[Nemhyz]

Excellent showcase! you have a good voice for radio :P Subbed

[fr1ngeTV]

@Nemhyz aww why thank you, that was very flattering sir ^_^ I actually blushed a little... lol.

[Nemhyz]

@fr1ngeTV haha awww how cute. :P I actually bought one of these after watching your video. I will definitely be checking out the rest of your channel when I can! Hope we become good friends. :P

[randomduuuuude]

@fr1ngeTV in terms of cleaning the fightstick , how would you go about it? I mean, could you just use wet wipes or something, or would that mess up the stick?

[fr1ngeTV]

@randomduuuuude There is a thin piece of acrylic protecting the art work on the fight stick, so you could use any type of liquid wipes without a problem :)

[randomduuuuude]

@fr1ngeTV thanks for replying:) will the wipes affect the buttons at all though? I don't wanna end up with sticky buttons or buttons that jam.

[fr1ngeTV]

@randomduuuuude No it will be fine, just don't use acetone, it will melt plastic :) some alcohols have acetone in them, so be careful.

[fr1ngeTV]

@FIREFISTACE200 Np bro, glad you liked the video :)

[fr1ngeTV]

@FIREFISTACE200 Its compatible with any game on Xbox 360. You could even use this for Halo or Gears but it won't work out to well :)

[Capcom449]

Hey dude! I was wondering something. I just got this stick and I did not realize that it was "square gate" I think you said it was and I dont like it. Is there anything I can do to change it? I like the 8 corner thing you were talking about

[fr1ngeTV]

@Capcom449 Youtube won't let me post the link to Lizard Lick but its called a "Octagonal Restrictor Plate" It's really cheap and I think you'll find it enjoyable. Lizard Lick is the only place that I go to order arcade/fightstick parts. I'll send you a PM with the link to the item.

[kupowns]

Correct me if I'm wrong, the Lock button on the TE Round 2 and the first TE will only lock the Home Button, only in the S version it will also lock the Start Button.

[fr1ngeTV]

@kupowns It locks the Home Button and Turbo Buttons :)

[kupowns]

@fr1ngeTV oh, thanks : )

[fr1ngeTV]

@kupowns np, if you have anymore questions I will be glad to answer them :)

[wiskersthefif]

hmm, these fight sticks do not come with the plexi cover for art mod right?

[fr1ngeTV]

@wiskersthefif you would have to get one separately.

[sharpz44]

would this be any good for fight night champion

[fr1ngeTV]

@sharpz44 Never played that game, but this fight stick is compatible with most Xbox Fight Game Titles.

[snipes7054]

Only noobs use octos xD.

[fr1ngeTV]

@snipes7054 Noobs don't use fight sticks. I only use 6 of the buttons not all 8. You honestly only need 3 punches and 3 kicks for Street Fighter games.

[ClearVisionArts]

what is a turbo button what does it do plz answer

[fr1ngeTV]

@ClearVisionArts Turbo will let you spam move inputs by holding down on the button :)

[ClearVisionArts]

@fr1ngeTV thanks for that do you no where i could pick one of these up im from canada

[fr1ngeTV]

@ClearVisionArts I got mine from Ebay but you can also check Amazon since they sometimes have fightsticks for cheap. ^_^

[TibetArchive]

@fr1ngeTV How do you program or use the Turbo function? Do you still have to go through all the button combination to do the turbo or once you program it, you just press 1 button?

[fr1ngeTV]

@TibetArchive Press the "Turbo Button" and press which of the 8 buttons you want to Turbo. Turbo mode is illegal in Tournaments and imo completely useless.

[TibetArchive]

@fr1ngeTV you mean Press the Turbo button & one of the 8 buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY or After the Turbo button?

[fr1ngeTV]

@TibetArchive Press and hold the "Turbo Button" and then press what ever button you want to Turbo. To undo the Turbo feature on what ever button, just Press and hold the "Turbo Button and press what ever button you have the "Turbo" feature on twice.

[fr1ngeTV]

@ClearVisionArts The Turbo Button feature is like a rapid fire mode. I don't use it and I don't recommend it either.

[aquastyletouhouplayr]

Very helpful review! Can you find it in stores, or do u have to order it online?

[fr1ngeTV]

@aquastyletouhouplayr This is Round 2 so you can't get it in stores anymore. You can get the regular SE in stores like gamestop if you have one around. but for Round 1, Round 2 and the SSFIV fight sticks you have to either get them from amazon or find them on Ebay for cheap. Good Luck ^_^

[aquastyletouhouplayr]

@fr1ngeTV thnx and 1 more question. do u know about modding and if so are there things i should be careful with when modding?

[fr1ngeTV]

@aquastyletouhouplayr Go check the modding video on my channel... ^_^
