It's pretty ugly, but good for fighting fans I guess. I'd never buy it.

Holy...is that a switch to let you change between 360 or XBONE?
Am I viewing a cross gen compatible fightpad? If so then wouldn't it be able straight out the box to be used on PC if I flip it to 360 setting and go in on some stuff?
Oh God this is so good. Microswitch 6 button pad with dpad and a toggle!? YES!

D-Pad? 360/X1 cross-gen compatibility? Sweet, I'll sell my MadCatz fightpad and get this once it comes out, unless MadCatz has something up their sleeve (where is it MarkMan???)
He just mentioned they've been working on a cross-gen MS stick for a while and will have more to announce in the future.

If these pads are going for $20-40. I wouldn't complain at all. Thanks to pdp, we can now get FightSticks for these damn consoles at a much more affordable cost now.

Liking the new version, but its very weird they put that 360/one switch on the front, it looks like they placed the start/back (menu/view) buttons on the top so the main control area is nice and clear, then they put the switch right in the middle bottom of the pad?. Considering how often the switch would be used, wouldn't it look better on the top aswell or even on the back out of the way?.
its a minor complaint granted, but it just seems strange to put the buttons you'd use more (start/back) at the top out of the way, and then put the switch you'd use not very often at all (just when changing systems) right on the front.

I'm skeptical about that D-pad. It seems to be such an easy thing for companies to fuck up. For MK though it seems like a more logical choice than any sort of circle pad or NEOGEO style pad.
Just give me a way to make SNES pads work on new systems and I'd be set.

I used pads for ages, and yes. Something about the shoulder buttons for primary attacks in SF felt weird to me, still does.

Yeah SNES is great, but Japan Saturn/US Version 2 is the best fighting D-pad ever assembled. Imo

Nearly had a heart attack and thought they finally announced a fight stick. Last two games they announced them in December. I REALLY hope they go 3x2 button layout this time. I know the 5 button layout is a series staple, but please, leave it in the past. These fight pads aren't too bad though, especially as a cheaper alternative.

Haven't there been tons of similar controllers to these?

i actually prefer the SNES dpad. And call me crazy, but the 4 face button/2 shoulder button layout too. I guess I just got used to it from playing the shit out of Street Fighter and MK on the SNES. It works especially well for MK I think, because you have your four attack buttons and then block (and run if you're playing MK3) on the shoulders.
The old ones had microswitches, too, and I seem to recall they were poorly installed in a lot of the early pads.

The mold for that pelican "fightpad" getting put to use. It was pretty comfortable but companies should learn and just make copies of the Sega Saturn pad.

Still more prettier than every woman in a Netherealm designed game.

I'm team fightpad, it just feels more natural to me.

come in expecting this:
...left dissapointed as fuck
Those pads were really horrible.
Yup you're crazy.
Yep I'm the same way, but I'm near positive its because of the hundreds and hundreds of hours of Street Fighter 2 on SNES.
What is the advantage of this?

I had the Ryu one. Great controller, especially for 2D platformers

Pretty controllers are not always good. 360 controller looked like dogshit, but it was fantastic. Gamecube controller looked like something miyamoto designed while on acid, but it's still the most comfortable controller I've ever used.
XB1 controller is gorgeous, but the bumpers and analog sticks are a downgrade from the ugly 360 controller. Dualshock 4 looks hideous next to a dualshock 3, but performs much better.
I don't care how a controller looks when I have it in my hands, I just care about how well it works.

Looks like its using the xbone's official dpad? Thats not good if true

Slightly different. Hopefully doesn't use the clicky system the XB1 dpad has.

Wat? What's more accurate and responsive than a clicker on the board? Membranes are a gamble when it comes to these third parties.

If memory serves the vita dpad is pretty clicky, but it also moved around a bit under your thumb. The XB1 dpad is very rigid. Too rigid IMO.

neat to finally see cross-gen compatibility on the Xbox side.

That controller. Is so ugly. Holy shit.
Also why isn't it matte/textured?

There's a madcatz fight stick in the works that does this as well
What's so ugly about it other than it being glossy? It's relatively understated compared to some of the previous pads.

It's good that Madcatz sticks are getting feature parity with their PS3/PS4 releases like Ultra and GGXrd fightsitcks. Too bad they didn't have that out by KI launch.

means we can rip the innards out and install it within our existing Arcade Sticks ;D

You may not have to. See my post above

They should release a matte black model redesign for PS4.
Noisepurge

but the point is that we want to keep using our custom made sticks on new systems. And buying a cheap 3rd party pad that we can solder in easy is the best option as it seems we are not getting last gen controller support.
(and that Skullgirls driver has not been implemented in any other game unfortunately)

The is awesome news - that d pad looks a lot more durable than the Street Fighter 360 pads. I got too used to using those SF pads that I went thru literally 5-6 of them last gen. I couldnt play the game without it - but the material used for the dpad just broke down. Amazing that its cross gen too.
I know thats an older post but thanks. Purchased. Been looking for a good 6 button Ps3/4 pad. I literally cannot play 2d games with sony's shitty dpad.Hori now has a Fighting Commander 4 out now that's compatible with both PS3 and PS4

This can't be MS. Looks cheap, and the button layout....
