I've hooked up a single button to two PCBs -- one on a Cthulhu by Toodles and the other on the EightArc Fusion -- to test out the reaction time performance of each stick. Both sticks are connected to the same system. Footage is then recorded and then played back in slow motion to see if there are any differences in the number of frames required for a move to start up. Two buttons are tested: Jab and Roundhouse.

I received some very interesting results. The EightArc actually performed either as well as the MC Cthulhu or even faster in some instances. In some cases, the EightArc and the MC Cthulhu (I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly) activated at the same time, and in some cases the EightArc activated slightly faster -- never the other way around. This shows promising results for the Fusion stick. Keep in mind that the video footage I shot was only at 30 FPS, so it's difficult to calculate the exact frame difference between the two, however, you can clearly tell that there is a difference. I will try to add a Mad Catz PS3 PCB in the near future as an update.

  • Yoooooon, I sincerely think there may be a problem with the install in your TE; it would explain the difficulties you were having comparing their speeds on 360. Please take a look over my response video about the tests I did, and get ahold of me to see if we can get your stick properly working. Hope to hear from you soon.

  • Look out, MadCatz, you got some pretty strong competition.

  • finally get to hear the genius behind the john choi lasagna story. keep doing your thing man

  • Sthulu.

  • Nice testing. If you have VF 5, you can run the training mode and see the difference by how many frames and the length of activation.

  • Looks like the Cthulu board has variable delay of 1-3F, which is pretty bad. I had heard about this before, good to see a test showing it in action - thanks for the video.

  • thanks for doing this, was thinking about buying an eightarc
