Yay! now i can buy Injustice and not relearn on the controller! YAAAAY!
I'll do that anyway, but I hope that everybody won't have to. It's silly to need to buy new controllers to do exactly the same thing we've been doing when these consoles are all USB.

I definitely want a new stick for the the new console as well. But I'm glad to know that my previous 5 sticks still all work, including the VLX that I spent 300 smackers on.
But this is great news for tournaments that are held on PS4 in the future. I'll probably still be using my Qanba RAF4 even if I get a new stick.

This was posted in the Ultimate FAQ at the PS Blog
So apparently it's up to the game developers. Does this mean Mad Catz may strike a deal with companies making fighting games to block compatibility? MarkMan, what say you?

Ha, knew you would pop in. First thing I thought: Kadey will be happy!

I've said many times before. We WANT our sticks to work with next gen. We in NO way have the ability to "strike a deal" with first party to have them block our sticks.
Yes yes. So happy about this. I want Xbox One to do the same hopefully. I don't want to play Killer Instinct on a controller if I don't have to =(

It's already been looked into. Thankfully they are common ground.

LOL, sorry if I came off like a asshole. I wished I wouldn't have worded myself that way. But thanks again for your stance on this subject.
Quoted for emphasis.
Right then, change of subject. Pictures!
Very very very happy with it. I'm looking to get it a PS360+ fitted though I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on whether that would devalue it at all. I want to take this thing with me to the shops, I am sooooo attached to it. One thing to mention that I don't see so much of, compared to any other stick it is fucking loud! That metal frame really makes moving the stick echo like a mother. I really like the fact that it comes with both a fitted soft base and an optional hard base. I'm thinking about fitting the plugs but I might rock it with 3P and 3K for a bit. I can finally play Tekken Revolution with a stick.
So happy.

I'll hold out for one that's not chopped into pieces.
Well, we already know qualitly, build, and overall sexiness of the FE. Now just in white, with blue light accents.
White sticks are always better.

The idea of not having to shell out 180 bucks for another arcade stick is much more appealing to me than any new fightstick could ever be

White and Neon Blue color scheme. I'm remind of the Wii. I see that it's a PS3 stick, but if I didn't see the Home button I wouldn't put it past me to confuse this thing could have been a Wii U stick

Yeah, those color buttons look super goofy on the FE.

Gonna wait for that domestic USA release to save on import.
Looks the same as the black with all the proprietary buttons and stick.
And, ordered my KI TE2 this morning from Mad Catz! Next gen so, so close!

Yeah that was MS required, right? Kind of a bummer, so many nice custom sticks got their looks butchered by that requirement. Love that stick in general though, one of the best looking stock stick that I've ever seen. Might just be my personal bias though, as I used the same white / light blue color scheme for my custom stick.

I think it was a MS mandate on any 360 controller without a game branding it, which is why some of the TEs and HRAPs are exempt.
Mark said they released that mandate for XB1 controllers.
Thank god that the MC Namco stick was never released for the 360. The horror.

Does it say anything about the button remapping feature on 360? From what I hear the first FE actually didn't let you remap the colored buttons at all, unlike the PS3 version which lets you remap everything.

generally i think depends on what the general look/art/style of the stick is.. but imo the "xbox button colors" works ok for SE Hrap's though has that neogeo feel to it haha
seems like you guys won for the Korean SE's at least

Hey Guys.
I'm thinking about buying my first stick and transitioning from playing UMVC3 and AE on Pad to playing them on Stick.
My two cheapest options seems to be either:
This Soul Calibur Stick, which apparently has a different button layout than what is usually used for street fighter.
http://www.amazon.com/SoulCalibur-Arcade-FightStick-Edition-Playstation-3/dp/B006EJ38W8/ref=sr_1_3?srs=2529833011&ie=UTF8&qid=1383499184&sr=8-3&keywords=arcade+stick
Or this WWE Brawl Stick, which appears to be somewhat smaller and very ugly, but also dirt cheap. (~$42 Shipped from amazon right now)
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-WWE-Stars-Brawl-Stick-3/dp/B004M25NNQ/ref=sr_1_2?srs=2529833011&ie=UTF8&qid=1383499184&sr=8-2&keywords=arcade+stick
I don't want to get something thats junk, but I'm also not sure If i need a really high grade tournament level stick since I just play in my living room for the most part anyways.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
If I did end up getting the Soul Calibur Stick, I'm probably going to wait for madcatz to do a sale during a tournament weekend like they usually do.

Why didn't they make the dustwasher and panel as white color also on the new white FE? Would've been perfect or make the panel some sort of prismatic ceramic pattern heh instead of keeping it black.

The Soulcalibur stick is already $99. We're not dipping lower than that. It's a great value for Sanwa everything, noir layout. You can change the button mapping (physically) by swapping two wires or just change them manually in game.
Yeah, so don't expect a discount/sale on the SCV stick anytime soon.
I didn't think about physically swapping the two wires to change the layout, that's a good idea. But will that void the warranty?
The $99 pricepoint is good, I'll have to ask somebody if they can get it for me from Christmas.
Thanks Markman.

We still support it. Messing with the PCB or carelessly tinkering with the wiring would be voiding the warranty.
Ok cool. Thanks for the clarification.

Woah. That's some serious business.

HSS-0130 has crappy clone buttons, and they're soldered directly onto the PCB. Which is a shame because it really could have been the best retail stick ever.

At the time, there wasn't anyone releasing sticks with authentic arcade buttons (1996). They used the levers though. Shortly after some companies started finally using Seimitsu parts then eventually Sanwa.

Hyperstick was 1996 and full Seimitsu

Wait... So would this by proxy include sticks with PS360+ PCBs?
