Hands-On with the Mad Catz Arcade Fightstick Street Fighter IV - WATCH IN HD!

[UnlimitedXDX]

can it be used for an xbox 360 too? anybody reply plz.

[oRusty00]

@UnlimitedXDX yes brah.

[mikeking087]

noob you dont know how to hold the stick

[HappyGamerMan]

@mikeking087 There are many ways to hold a fighting stick, clearly you don't what your talking about.

[TheGlowingKnight]

Agreed, these ones break easily.

TE is so much better. Plus, they come with Sanwa.

[3102485]

Get a te everyone the se is so ass

[carlkarlssontv98]

no 480 p WTF ! :O

[5onlyu]

someone please tell me how to do a shoryuken

[cedricgabionza]

what are the 2 extra black buttons for

[IslamIstheWayforMe]

@cedricgabionza

so you can set for example 3 punches = one button u just have to press....so u can do ur ultra and only hit one button or your EX and only hit one button...get it?

[ghost3yame]

would this be good for MK9?

[rabbitmickey82]

Why are wearing a shirt to play at home..... hmmm cute

[QU1NTO]

this was back in 09, and if you were to review the arcade stick to me like on this video.. id buy the game and stick together XD

[KrsnaBhakta]

God this is such a GOOD review, just made me order one, its my birthday and I am buying an xbox, joy stick, and the game today OMG can't wait.

[M3sslah]

Hey great vid man, may I ask what game you are playing at 3:06? It looks kinda like a Vectrex game, I miss that old machine sometimes. But maybe it's something else, love the sparkle feel of that game in your vid though.

[XPERTOWNER]

@M3sslah its called geometry wars,its xbox only,kinda gay.

[781RELLIK]

is this stick any good, or should my money for a T.E. stick?

trying to step my game up in street fighter haha

[TouhouGaijin]

Is there one for PC? or does this one work on pc?

[escapethemasacre]

you better not hurt my baby (Crimson Viper).

[garybruh1408]

[TheMightySinnerHD]

I need one of these.

[shagraz]

@TheMightySinnerHD i am selling a cutom 1

[TheMightySinnerHD]

[urmomishot45]

[aceattorney]

@urmomishot45 Of course it'll work.

[rsxzx6r]

@urmomishot45 u idiot...a joystick is a joystick...just has SSF4 stickers on it

[sharpz44]

OK,Could anyone tell if these fightsticks work well with fight night champion,,,,,thanks

[DJAntm4n]

@sharpz44 loloolololol

i doubt it

[Mastergurt]

I can see you have great input lag on your screen

[whONeEDZNaDeZ]

How much use do you think i can get out of it before i need to replace the parts because it will be my first fight stick and I just want to try it out and if i like it replace it with sanwa parts

[Blahdabbadoo]

Get out of your work clothes!

[MrFohfuable]

@Blahdabbadoo I like it. It makes him look professional ;-D

[snipes7054]

not to loose not to tight just how i like it ;)

[HyPeR0HaSHI]

Whenever I try to use mine, the joystick is stuck in the scrolling down position, without me even moving it, can I fix this?

[bludika]

@HyPeR0HaSHI replace the crappy stock stick and the buttons

[HyPeR0HaSHI]

@bludika Their Sanwa :(

Do you know what causes it?

[bludika]

@HyPeR0HaSHI the STOCK stick and buttons for the SE stick aren't sanwa.. only the TE sticks come with Sanwa original parts

[quintet95]

there is actually a little delay that I can notice. I guess that is the LCD issue.

[mrndy007]

je cherche le nom du jeux dans l espace presenté dans cette video a 3:00MINUTE.

MERCI

[mrndy007]

the name video 3:00MN PLEASE?GAME IN THE SPACE

SORRY I M FRENCH.PLEASE THE NAME. THANK YOU

[EviLTunG]

lawl, such a waste to use that joystick on oldschool games like pacman =.=

[XZ1PB]

wht kind of speakers do u have

[xISOmaniac]

looks like a great stick should be getting mine soon now all i need is that little table you have lol...

[Xeerochild]

The montage at the end was brilliant lol. *liked*

[thomasmovesinc]

I need one for mortal Kombat what should I go with

[snitches2442]

@thomasmovesinc any TE fightstick should work great.

[RznSk8er]

Play CoD with it LOL

[xGAM3Rxx]

picked mine up today for mvc3 it's great

[nub3100]

@xGAM3Rxx does it have great response?

im thinking of getting it for mvc3 too.

[baglepants]

So, exactly what is the advantage of this, and why would it be better than a video game controller (like the ps3 controller) (probably better than than the XBOX 360 controller)

[Deathofblades]

This stick is inferior compared to the new tournament round 2 mad catz sticks.

[randomduuuuude]

@Deathofblades please explain the difference between a TE stick and a TE round 2 stick? i would like to know, thx^^

[MrFohfuable]

@randomduuuuude The TE Stick and Round 2 TE stick have no differences. Everything is the same. Just a full Black color, different artwork, and having a Round 2 name slapped on it.

[raito666x]

dude its a square gate?? don`t you feel awkward?

[llDeaTHhIMseLFll]

@raito666x not if your a charge character player. I can even play ryu or ken really well with a square gate, but if you really wanna change it you can mod it and buy an octagonal gate.

[Maclein22]

Actually, the stick lasted 3 weeks...then it broke...really bad quality.

I had to buy a new Sanwa Stick and buttons (the buttons didn't break, just being causeous).

But from the moment I opened it, the Stick had some loose move that ended up breaking, so overall, it's a bad move to buy it...save some more and buy the TE, lasts forever...

[shtml54]

You should work for Madcatz

[farisofwall]

Is possible play dead nation ps3 with control???

[icamp4kicks]

I know it was made for street fighter IV but can you use it for marvel vs capcom 2??

[ninjaboy737]

@icamp4kicks Yes, any fighting game

[TionGoliat]

can you still buy this?

[ninjaboy737]

@TionGoliat yes

[darknight2ca]

i guess i like it because its basic... XD

[Zimathy911]

dude thats a chump stick get a te

[TheExprima]

@Zimathy911 Or be a man and mod it.

[Zimathy911]

@TheExprima

its still too small inless your a 13 year old girl

[TheExprima]

@Zimathy911 That depends. Not everyone has huge basketball hands. Most people would have hands about the same size as the guy in the video, which the size of the SE should accommodate just right. Could care less, though. I have a modded HRAP3 and am looking to buy a TE-S.

[Zimathy911]

@TheExprima

yeah well i am 6 4" but still even if you mod it it wont be as good as a te so whats the point (i have a te an a teS)

[TheExprima]

@Zimathy911 I have a Wii SE (The TvC one) modded and the buttons actually feel better than the TE's. I feel like the TEs "Sanwa" buttons aren't as comfortable as the ones you could buy from LizardLick... then again I'm a Seimitsu guy.

[darknight2ca]

i still say the xbox 360 Tekken 6 Fight stick that comes in the bundle is the best..

[MegaHello12345]

@darknight2ca It's hori, it's a nightmare to mod and it doesn't have sanwa parts, no it's not the best.

[TranceCore3]

The T6 hori is far from the best. I upgraded to a TE from one of those. The buttons are utter trash. The stick misfires like it's in a nervous army, and it will cost you a shit ton more to mod it, than it would to just go out and buy a TE.

[proof4real]

i need to mod mine cuz its shit

[elexafm]

nice entretainement center you got there

[yapalli83]

i got the same stick.

the buttons dont respond quikly.

the stick is verry bad. but the weight is great. (2kilo)

i mod it with sanwa buttons and stick. now its great.

[TheGamer32121]

did it ever break or hv any problems

[Episaudron]

@TheGamer32121

the te of a friend is broken. randomly pauses the game and hk + kkk don´t work. when u plug the cable off the box it works again. seems like a known problem with the ground conecction. trying to fix the stick on the weekend.

all other 3 sticks are working perfectly.

[yapalli83]

@TheGamer32121 the mine never brokes.

but the buttons and the stick are not soo good.

i ve moded with sanwa parts.

now its fuckinggg great

[MicrosoftFails]

Hmm, if you did some FADC combos into ultras consistently, along with a few juggles I would be more persuaded. I'm playing with the 360 controller, using the joystick, and doing one single ultra is not a problem. It's FADC's, dashing, and juggling that's holding me back with the controller, and I would like to know if this fightstick is worth buying or if the TE is the one to buy. Not enough complexity to tell in this video

[MegaPrinnyDood]

i dont have money for this :(

but i have the money for the blaze arcade stick for the ps3

is it any good?

plzz answer

[Wrath102]

@MegaPrinnyDood yes... ive got the blaze pro for ps3, its decent, and very accurate, but its very light, so its not the kind of stick you would use for the tourneys, but yes, it is a perfect travelling joystick, so if you just want to bring it with you, just for fun, or just to practice at a friends house, its the perfect stick to bring with you... im gonna make a review soon about it... be sure to check it out...

[anthonyianryanshane]

how the heck do you connect a wii controller with street fighter iv (ps3, 360)

[pspcow]

I'm a casual SF player. Is this good enough for me? I ain't paying more than a hundred for a fightstick.

[MLGcinamin53]

@pspcow it depends on what you want, this stick is said to be decent but its not amazing. for example the more expensive fightsticks use higher quality parts. for example sanwa parts are what are used on the TE sticks and are much more responisve, but you can modify all that yourself. but if you want this stick go for it, but i would mod it to get a sanwa stick and sanwa buttons so the stick performs better.

[ghosttaker]

i'm calling you bullshit dude

[andrewjpx]

Does anyone know if the ball at the top of the joystick is suppose to spin? If i hold the shaft stationery it will still spin. Is that how its suppose to be?

[370046Byakuya]

fire balls?dragon punches? did ken not say hadouken and shoryuken?

[MrDAVEness]

@370046Byakuya Who gives a shit

[370046Byakuya]

@MrDAVEness i do..

[lilphill13]

if anyone wants to donate an arcade stick to an up and coming street fighter player plzzzzzzz msg me!!!!!!1

[isiah2die4]

the d pad suck on xbox 360 ps3 d pad is great! sticks is for the pros

[Zawicki1]

Is that the SFIV controller or the Tatsunoko Vs Capcom controller just using it on SFIV?

[370046Byakuya]

@Zawicki1 sf4! cuz the tatsunoko vs capcom is for the wii

[pjmac88]

is that the TE or SE?

[aznboylol09]

@pjmac88 SE

[tom11zz884]

The Sony PS3 dual shock controller will work just fine thank you

[aznboylol09]

@tom11zz884 YEAH!! since the dpad has a really high quality specialy the buton.

[SLRMC93]

My friend has one of these and I'm not going to buy SSF4 until I buy one of these the xbox controller sucks on this game

P.S I also hope that this works with Marvel vs Capcom 3 or I'll be pissed! >:(

[DirtyRat88]

@SLRMC93 yea it will work..lol I play fps games drunk for fun with my fightstick..

[whinemax]

@DirtyRat88 you cant...

[DirtyRat88]

@whinemax Yea you can..switch the button from DP to left stick..just cant use the right stick but when drunk who cares..

[123shaheer123]

does it only work with SF4, will it work with other fighting games such as tekken 6 ?

[ballerbros]

@123shaheer123 every fightin game

[Leetard179]

@123shaheer123

it works with any game.... its a controller

you just wouldnt play halo with the stick

[b7ray32]

i wish people would stop trashing the standard edition fight stick i just bought one and it works perfectly when i mess up a move its MY FAULT if other people would stop using the stick as an excuse of why they screwed maybe everyone wouldn't think the standard edition stick is terrible because its not i pull of the move i want with this stick 99 percent of the time now i just refuse to pay 150 bucks for a stick

[72u7H]

@b7ray32

The STD ed is a piece of crap. NO one in tourney's play with that stick. The std edition is cheaply made. The TE is got some heft to it, and performs like magic. I build my own sticks, but I couldn't build one better than the TE stick. $150 bucks, Its elevated my game big time.

[b7ray32]

@72u7H well first off i dont play in tournaments but if i did i would do just fine with my standard fightstick i have over 7000 battle points with it and i kick the shit out of everyone at my best but tournament in which some people had the coveted tournament edition stick its the skills a player has not some overly expensive fightstick

[soft383]

what is your button layout

[arjay2002ph]

what the hell was that right character doing? moving her hands to her left side to front?

[massive0random]

remove or glue down the washer inside the joystick itself. or the washer will rub against the pc board and ruin the buttons so you'll have to send it back after a day

[Lvl99Sephiroth]

@massive0random Do you still have to do that ? Its been over a year, they still havent fixed the problem if i go buy a brand new one now ?

[massive0random]

@Lvl99Sephiroth not too sure. i wouldnt want to take the risk though >.>

either buy the SE stick and take the washer out. or replace the joystick itself.

OR

just buy the TE stick :L

[pierc31]

Well im this is my first time playing street fighter and I'm using the xbox controller and Im getting my butt wooped everytime i play the computer..will the fight stick help out any?

[mchristie12]

I heard that the buttons on this stick die out on you pretty fast and best to mod it and put sanwa butoons on it. I would love to pick up this stick and do some modification but I dont know where to find sanwa buttons and i can mod things for shit. For me, its ether buy the stick now and give it a shot or save up for a TE stick which i heard from many are beautiful.

[Gioxtream]

Is this street fighter 4 for Xbox 360 ,ps3 or pc??? What version you playing???

[IDeadPooLZ]

the buttons are shit you need sanwa buttons and a 8 box joystick

[SonOfSparda3]

btw. is it square gate? orrr.

[SonOfSparda3]

mannn. thanks for the info, it helps alot. the dragon uppercuts, you did like 5 in a row? without messing up. when I try with the controller on the 360 or ps3 its horrible sometimes. it responds like to 2 uppercuts before I do something totally different.

[Acrobatic17]

nicee im thinking of buying one......just dont noe if its gunna die on meh?

[riotinthecity]

How long did this fightstick last you? I just bought one and I'm very gentle. I just want to know if it was worth it before it arrives in 3 days.

[msns57]

modded xbox?? yeah right?

[vince4680]

good vidz... but fuck mad catz

[TXShowboat]

DONT buy the SE edition. Save your money for the tournament edition (unlike me)

[kuunami]

@TXShowboat (

what's' the difference between the two?

[Mixwizzard35]

Perhaps I'll be able to pull off the better Special Moves with this, instead of the controller.

[mycoolgoodvideos]

stop fucking talking and get on with the vid

[antzenpro3]

Lol the stick wont be sensitive soon. Madcatz se stick is dirt crap i have the te and the se and my te has been working like a charm while my se...ill leave it to the forums and people in youtube

[artixazn]

There's no official way to hold a stick.

>_>

[Episaudron]

@artixazn

my brother again... sry!

[Episaudron]

@artixazn

my brother again... sry!

[gcon92]

rockin the retro!!!

[trogdor1oh1]

What if I get a preowned SE stick that has the stick and all the buttons replaced with Sanwa parts? I'm really a casual player but I want to kick ass harder than I have with the Xbox controller.

[wandereragro]

As long as it's in good condition, that's even better. Sanwa parts are some of the best you can get. If it's cheap enough snap it up.

[TPHxItachi]

plz resonpe anyone , is there a difference between tournement edition and regular edition(white) when it comes to the joystick and buttons? to be more specific the inputs and sensitivity are both same right?

[trogdor1oh1]

Someone told me that the TE is Sanwa'd.

[bls123pop]

training to be a scrub lol

[idjoemama]

id like to use it on UMK3 bu the xbla version does not let u map buttons damnit

[79crusader]

great video.

[dicka999]

can u use it with other games and if so what with

[VeniasHD]

Yes, you can, because it just has all the default button on a controller. You can use it fine with other fighting games such as Tekken 6, Soul Calibur IV and BlazBlue.

[Bakahashiyo]

I'd love to get this but I just don't have that kind of money to spend on a gaming accessory, so I got the fightpad, which also had positive reviews. And I'm hoping it will be good to play in games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe etc.

[Suksess1]

cool, i'll hopefully get this sooner rather than later

[andy7666]

Get modding!!! My SE had a duff button straight away but I was expecting that (I collect sticks and got a TE before this). Replacing the stick and buttons with SANWA or Seimetsu is really easy, no soldering needed, just a screwdriver - I'd recommend it!

[TONYLOVESU]

You say it performs beautifully, but you've only done basic moves... An ultra combo is the easiest thing to pull off!  Try doing some character specific juggles/combo's with it and we can see how it performs.

[RRReviews]

@TONYLOVESU he probably has no clue what your talking about

[evilwizardaku]

cooool, you got the KEF 'eggs' surround speakers. Mucho Kudos.

[reaper578]

can i use this in marvel vs capcom 2?? or waht would you recommend/

[Calvers06]

TE>SE

[BIuejoker18]

@Calvers06 obviously

[zomfgpaNic]

@Calvers06 Thanks Captain Obvious, why would they charge so much more if it's not better.

[4evil2me]

@Calvers06 Thanks Captain Obvious! TE S > TE

[SoloFatty911]

thks

[sexyman1225]

do you recomend this to a s-g player

[ChiChiRodriguez1]

anyone know where i can get sf4 ringtones specifically mbison teleport sound and dhalsims teleport sound?

[monkeyman212]

Im G-1 Too!!!! :DDD

[teabagiddi1994]

1: do you recomend this to a G1 player that uses the Ps3 d-pad?

2: has it ever broken or somthing happend that is'nt good?

[Nothing13lue]

i just got this thing about 2 hours ago and out of the box i say the buttons are good and the joy stick feels good BUT the square gate on the joystick messes it all up on trying to do fire balls or any thing like that ... but for 5$ + shipping u can fix that . iv read some stuff saying that the buttons quit on u after a few month but i say that just on how hard u push them....for around 30$+shipping u can buy the circle gate and the buttons of any color and have a very nice stick

[enditend]

what's the name of the song?

[wh0racle3]

Should've shown some combos. Also I heard these sticks crap out quickly. I bought the TE one instead, extra cost but whatever you'll have to pay the same amount to mod the SE with sanwa parts anyways, plus the TE looks nicer.

[overheatedpc]

nice review , very nice ; gonna buy it because of ur review !

[GeothermalDuck]

Do better research than one vid.

These things die real quick.

There's a washer in the stick that scratches the pcb and stops working after a few hours of gameplay.

I paid $70+ on repairing mine with new parts.

[GReeeeNCREW]

what about the tournament edition?

[GeothermalDuck]

I hear good things.

you can try it, i only got one SE

[andy7666]

The TE is beautiful, I love it - sturdy and elegant.

The SE is ok, if your lucky it will work fine out of the box but its designed to be really easy to mod - pay $30 - $40 for new buttons and a stick and your laughing.. Its a cheaper option but ok. Better than most sticks you will see, the Hori sticks are superior however.

I'd say the TE is on a par with the best Hori and they are getting cheaper - they were £150 in the UK, now £100 in my local shop, may be hard to find though.

[souldja666]

man nice review

[teuf67]

the song is journey??

[LHWowLH]

Would I Be Able To Play fifa , Cod, UFC ?????

[ArmAndHammer219]

does this fight stick work on downloaded content and other fightin games

[Tutdude]

Yes

[OneLoveJK]

Finally, a decent review showing it in action...although I'd be curious to see if "aceattorney" still feels the same about the stick months later (chances are, something has broken or failed on him).

[deryell]

yeah no kidding, chances are the washer on the joystick fucked the PCB up

[GameingNews]

idk i love it its so good

[yoduh1112]

Stock buttons are crap, you should mod it.

[mastamojo33]

I have a question. I've only played street fighter 4 on the xbox with the analog stick and ive done like all the trials with a good amount of the characters. Do you think I'll have a hard time getting used to the arcade stick?

[ThePopoMaster]

It's going to take a few weeks to get used to it.
