Stick looks awful. And it seems to be wireless too? :\

 

[hwy_61]

That's quite the shape for a controller.

 

[KingBroly]

Thanks but no thanks.

 

[Producer]

What is up with that stick

Budget variant?

 

[Superblatt]

Wireless stick? I suppose it's for the casual crowd.

 

[Cody_D165]

 

[FluxWaveZ]

That's pretty ugly.

Edit: The arcade stick. The pad looks fine to me.

 

[SpiceMelange]

I'll stick with my original madcatz TE

?? I see wires coming off both the pad and the stick.

 

[Drilbit777]

WTF is up with that stick? Looks awful.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

yeah that looks budget.

and Wi-fi?


nah.

 

[AAK]

That red thing looks like a wireless receiver dongle. which, if that's the case, no thanks.

EDIT Yes I know it's the bottom of the stick now, please stop quoting this post

 

[HardRojo]

I'm guessing this is the "cheap" version. Kind of what the SE was to the TE when SFIV came out? What a horrible stick.

 

[toastyToast]

That's quite the shape for a controller.

I think the idea is left side is business as usual but on the right you've got the wider grip to allow you rest the heel of your palm so you can hit the buttons in the same way you would on a stick.

 

[Neoxon]

The pad looks interesting, but the budget stick....eh. I'll just go with the TE2.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Residual effects of rockband? Maybe this is the SE version.

 

[Laws00]

god damn those looks i dont even know.... april fools is still months away

 

[MRORANGE]

Arcade Stick seems to be competing agisnt the Hori Mini range:

The gamepad looks sweet though.

 

[HardRojo]

I thought that was just the back of the stick.

 

[Zukuu]

There is a cable coming out of the stick on the small picture of the backside...

 

[Luigi87]

That stick... reminds me of like a gen 3 or 4 peripheral...
Nice gamepad though.

...wonder how moddable taking its PCB out into a stick would be.

It's the stick upside down?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

it's the bottom of the stick. It's the show off the padding.

Ah I thought that was a wireless receiver. Still looks like trash.

 

[BiggNife]

I thought that was just the back of the stick.

oh, maybe it is? The fact that it's so much smaller than the main pic threw me off.

Now that you mention it, the budget stick may be a blessing in disguise for modders.

 

[Veal]

That's clearly the bottom of the stick. Looks like some kind of gripping material for the legs?

 

[hwy_61]

I think the idea is left side is business as usual but on the right you've got the wider grip to allow you rest the heel of your palm so you can hit the buttons in the same way you would on a stick.

Makes sense if that's the case.

 

[jbug617]

the stick is probably the budget stick.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Kill it with fire.

 

[Naite]

I'd need a closer look at the d-pad but it looks like that gamepad has everything I want for fighting games while being able to use it for other games as well. I assume the extra set of shoulder buttons work on a toggle like the Hori Fighting Commanders.

Not feeling the arcade stick but depending on the price I might get one as a spare.

 

[KTO]

That's the underside of the stick, the same as the controller pic. I'm interested in the price on both of these. Although i've never been interested in a fightpad before, I think the wrist setup for this is kind of cool. The alpha might make an awesome 2p stick and I would definitely pick one up if the price is right.

 

[Stallion Dan]

Dislike the pad, how would hit all 3 P/K buttons at once? I don't use pads but thumb for Square/Triangle and a finger for R1 works easy for PPP, likewise X and O and R2 for KKK, though DS3/DS4 R2 sucks for fighters not being just a simple button like R1.

 

[Kaako]

Uugh at that stick. Patiently waiting on PS3 stick support in SF5! Kako plz.

 

[Koyuga]

That's the bottom of the controller, pretty sure.

 

[BiggNife]

I will say that while I don't like the look of the stick, I'm glad a budget option exists for this gen because we've sorely needed one for a while now. The only other "budget" stick is the Venom and it's not officially sold in the US.

I'm assuming it'll have a retail price of $80 and have easily swappable parts like the SF4 Standard Edition stick did.

Also, yes, I know it's the bottom of the stick now, no need to keep posting that.

 

[Kintaro]

I'll pick up a Fightpad for my girl. =D Going to keep an eagle eye out for that new Chunners TE2 Stick. =D

 

[Neoxon]

Uugh at that stick. Patiently waiting on PS3 stick support in SF5! Kako plz.

I'm also hoping for PS3 stick support, but there's always the TE2.

 

[IntelliHeath]

It look terrible.

I'm still waiting for Mad Catz to restock their PS4 Arcade FightStick. I would love to have Ultra Street Fighter 4 PS3/PS4 Fightstick. I wonder if they would have any plan to do that. I'm getting frustrated with Street Fighter V because I made a lot of dumb mistakes with d-pad.

 

[ponpo]

The Fightpad Pro is a traditional six-button controller that is similar to the old Street Fighter 4 line of fightpads with the addition of two analog sticks. The Fightstick Alpha is meant to be an entry level arcade stick that comes in a more compact design than the TE2 and has six buttons instead of eight.

The corners of the stick are ugly but I love smaller sticks. Exaprize 4 life.

And people acting like the TE2 and stuff aren't already ugly.

 

[Alchemist]

This isn't going to be the equivalent to the SF4 TE sticks, are they..?

 

[BiggNife]

I'm still waiting for Mad Catz to restock their PS4 Arcade FightStick. I would love to have Ultra Street Fighter 4 PS3/PS4 Fightstick @_@

I think it's intended to be used with a claw grip. Hold the controller with your left hand and put your index/middle/ring finger on square/triangle/R1.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Looks like a Cyberpower tower took a shit

 

[Stallion Dan]

Everyone had this wrong, the red things are actually foot pedals!

 

[HappehLemons]

that pad looks sweet but i had a bad feeling about those triggers

 

[Kaako]

I'm also hoping for PS3 stick support, but there's always the TE2.

But ain't nobody trying to pay another $200 when you know you have a perfectly functioning TE stick. :/

 

[Neoxon]

This isn't going to be the equivalent to the SF4 TE sticks, are they..?

Nope, it's just the budget stick. Depending on the price, it may serve as a great sacrificial lamb for modders.
