Street Fighter IV: Mad Catz Fightstick standard edition unboxing

The standard version of the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV fight stick. Though not of the same caliber as the Tournament Edition, the Standard Edition is no slouch either. Great for average fighting game enthusiasts, or die hard fighting fanatics who want a great stick that is easy to mod. Easily the best entry level arcade stick on the market. Xbox 360 version shown in the video.

Standard Fightstick package comes with: Xbox 360 headset adaptor for the headset port, Character move card for all SFIV characters (excluding Seth and other console version exclusive characters), and of course the stick itself.

Update: My fightstick has been working great up until last month. Start button has been working on and off, and the A button sometimes stops working for a few seconds. Sent it off for warranty repair on the 23rd. Hope everything turns out ok.

@Temjin99

So far so good, been working great with no buttons dying or anything. Heres looking forward to Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken.

Just posting a quick update: Day 3 of heated SFIV matches and no problems with the SE stick yet.

Also El Fuerte and Abel are awesome newcomers.

Just got my SE last night. The stick is loose and not as impressive as the TE. Definitely not Sanwa.

However veterans might be surprised by the sensiivity of the buttons themselves. The buttons are probably not going to be as durable as the Sanwa/Seimitsu's, however one cannot complain about their sensitivity.

Consider getting the SE, upgrading the stick to Sanwa/Seimitsu and possibly replacing the buttons down the road. I am very impressed with the SE stick.

I highly recommend it.

Yeah, not high quality as the TE, but its better than the stock hori fighting stick 3 or EX2 (PS3 or 360). Great for modding like you said as well. Hope that after the SE and TE stick release, other companies step up to the plate to offer great arcade sticks at decent prices.

I've heard a lot of things about how this stick breaks. Would anyone recommend picking this up to play MvC2? The tournament editions are too expensive to be an option.

Now you just need to deck it out with Sanwa ;)

I love this fightstick btw, better than the TE imo cuz it takes up a lot less room, and achieves everything it needs to - and with the Sanwa parts and 8 way restrictor even more so, plus it works like a champ with Mame on the pc ;

@franzken That sucks. What ever happened? Did you get it back? is it still working?
