look at the Hori Real Arcade Pro line for PS4.

Don't think it's similar quality to the TE, personally, but it's the best stick you're going to get on PS4 for the price.

It has 6 face buttons. That's mostly it I believe, but that's an important pro.

The TES+ is the way to go imo if you prefer sanwa like me. I suck with modding if i was good at it, i would buy a hori and switch everything out for sawna.
whats the difference between this and the rap5? outside from the art

That fightpad looks weird. These sticks are off the hook though.
Yeah, the best deal I've ever seen for a TE was when they occasionally had them $50 off when sponsoring a tournament. It's been like two years or something since that last happened though.

Just that if I wanted to play on a controller like I did on stick, I'd get a stick.........
Even their original design had two analogs and they took the right analog away too....
This imo would be the perfect pad.....and I though that is what Madcatz was bringing to the table...

Yup, that's the main reason one would buy a fightpad in the first place I believe. Or they want a different D-pad than their standard controller.
Oh right lol.
See the problem is though Amazon isn't allowing you to pick colors for it at the moment. Just the white. I think that's why I was confused.
It's literally just removing some wires and putting in the new buttons. The kuros are even more solidly built than sanwa, so you don't have to worry about damaging the tabs when you remove the buttons. It is super easy. But if you're talking about buying buttons and sticks, that 150 gets close to 200 anyway, so may as well buy the TES+.
Right. The TE Pro line, which I think is comparable to the Hori Rap sticks, were constantly on sale, but those sticks felt more cheaply made than a TE/S, VS. The TE is one of the most solid sticks ever. I've still got both of mine from SF4 launch and they're still in great shape. Just swap out the sticks and buttons which wear from use and you're good.

Until I hear more things about the Alpha and Fightpad pro Ill just stick with my FC4, personally.

I'm probably just gonna stick with hori fight pad. It's durable and was cheaper in price than this pad.

Do they have headphone jacks?
I was a huge fan of MCZ's small form factor. You know, the one they used first for the SFIV FightStick, then the TvC sticks for Wii, and finally the WWE BrawlStick. Super-easy to mod, super-portable, no compromises. Definitely one of my favorites.
So I'm kind of excited to see that they're releasing another small stick. But it's hard for me to judge exactly how large or small this one is just based on those pictures. My guess is that IF (and only if) they're using standard-sized 30mm buttons again, they ought to be moddable just like before.
Also: the MSRP on the BrawlSticks was $80 as well. Then, there were deep discounts around the time of major tournaments and/or holidays. Finally, they dropped to $30-40 when on clearance. So if you're curious about it, but not curious enough to pre-order, I'd expect that history will repeat itself. These might be good sticks to take on the road, or for the occasional Player 2.

I thought I was gonna get one of these but with those prices and the fact I've already got a Kai with Sanwas I think I'll pass.
Hori's comparable line to the TE series is definitely going to be 200+, since it already is on PS3/360.

They made some changes, just not the right ones......triggers had to go, handles had to be equal length, they needed a better dpad. Instead they decided to move the right analog stick and not give us a Vita like DPAD.
Adding L3/R3 costs $15 each.
But yeah, those price hikes. Double so for the original TE layout just with PS4 features. Whooooo, MadCatz tax.

Honestly, not feeling these at all. The pads look super cheap and not sure about that dpad. If it's really good I could probably get me to look over the design. I wish they would just make a new nice looking saturn pad.
The sticks look okay, but what is up with the art. You pay for the license and use the same ass Ryu cover that people have already printed out. Then you just use the logos and some symbols on the other products. Why not work with capcom and get some original art.
I'll prob just wait for a hori fighting edge. I like the sleeker design and less blocky look.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll probably try out the default hori buttons and put in my old sanwa buttons if I don't like them.
AKA the best plastic stick. Can't wait to see it. Hope they have one in blue.

I think the reason, I don't know I didn't make these, they are this much money this time around is because they work on 2 platforms, 3 counting the PC, right out of the gate without modding.
However, my argument is immediately shot down because Hori has a 150 dollar PS3/PS4 stick.
So yeah, Madcatz Tax.
That and buttons are cheaper than the TE S+ which is sad to be honest.

That alpha looks a like a great choice for people who want to try out arcade sticks. I might even get one, if my Eightarc Fusion isn't compatible with SFV.

I really like the circle dpad on the Xbox elite controller I wonder if I should grab a pad.

i have a sneaking feeling that the ps3 stick support campaign wont come to fruition due to deals involved.
the artwork agreed.

That's not a TE, a TE-S, or a VS case. There are pictures of the sticks we're talking about in this thread.
And maybe finally they added a headphone jack and the touch pad... all the stuff that should of been there. Terrible sticks

That's how most fightpad players play though. Why would you even need an analogue stick at all for fighting games? I think it's a decent design tbh, but I'm a stick player so doesn't really matter to me too much.

which one you bought?

i really want to know what capcom's excuse will be if they don't allow ps3 stick compatibility
Crazy prices on the TE2 sticks themselves aside, I feel like they've significantly dropped the ball on not having at least the pads and smaller stick out already. I got a Hori FC4 pad months ago for $10 cheaper than what they're offering here (granted there's no touchpad on the FC4), and Hori has a comparable mini arcade stick out this month for $39.99, half of what they're charging for their mini stick.
I have no idea if the way higher prices are partially due to Capcom licensing or whatever, but it's crazy. So glad I didn't hold out for either the pad or mini-stick like I was originally intending to.

That fight pad has a wwrid shape but it looks neat. I hope I can use that on PC as well.
The licensing is part of why the TE2 is more expensive according to Markman.
