Gamepads look awesome. Finally analog sticks! Now they won't be useless outside of fighting games.

New Madcatz Arcade Stick & GamePad for SFV
- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
Let's just hope that the triggers are decent. If so, I may bite.

I couldn't imagine using a controller like that, you'd need rest the right half on a knee or something surely?
None of the construction on that stick says easy swap. No accessible screws by the looks of it and no faceplate, NTM the thing is seemingly all plastic. The housing itself doesn't even look deep enough for standard stick buttons unless they REALLY jammed them in there.
I was about to say.. I'm holding out on buying the TE2 to see how the SFV sticks turn out.
He could swap out the buttons with Sanwas and it would still be cheaper than a TE2.

Wonder if the Alpha will have Sanwa or knockoff parts

I don't know because I really enjoy Mad Catz's products for long time. I don't really see myself stop buying Mad Catz unless they chose not to restock those fightstick I wanted then I probably would give up on waiting for Mad Catz.
That's fair.
The Street Fighter V stick is most likely gonna be the TE2 with SFV-specific art.

I really hope that stick is easy to mod
The PCB will probably be easy to mod into other sticks. Not sure about actually replacing things like the buttons or the joystick, though.

Fuck that shit. Where are the overpriced T.E.2 SFV branded sticks?
Based on just the lack of face screws i can almost guarantee it isn't.

Why would you buy a stick just for the PCB? There's no way it's cheaper than a controller

MarkMan left MadCatz?
He is leaving early next year.
And it probably has to do more with Mad Catz being in dire financial straits and banking everything on Rock Band 4 to turn the company around. They're taking loans to produce the new instrument controllers.

The budget stick looks great
Well that explains everything.

That looks amazing! I hope they make an Xbox One version of that controller as well.
Yes, I know the game is not hitting the One, no I am not port begging for the game, but it's not uncommon to see variants of the same controller for different systems. I love the angles on this pad.

Better not be, needs mic support for one thing. Touchpad for another.

I love the stick. It looks really convenient.

because a PCB with wires already coming off of it is far easier to slap into a different controller than legitimately padhacking a PCB. Not to mention cheaper if you dont already have all the modding tools necessary for a padhack (barring the actual difference in cost between the stick and a pad)

Hope there's an eventual TE stick variant like there was with SF4 when it first came out. That stick looks like shit, but I'll wait for impressions before passing any further judgement.
I could be really tempted by that pad if the d-pads still decent, can't tell from those images. Being able to use it for more then just fighting games as well since it has analog sticks would be a cool bonus too. Love having 6 face buttons.
On the other hand, I'll probably still end up wanting to go back to my old faithful Saturn controller.

Kinda reminds me of the Tekken 4 stick...in a small way.

I would definitely take the game pad. I don't use arcade sticks but that doesn't look to great.

So they put a right analog stick on the controllers this time. Either they're for other fighting games....or there's some hidden right analog stick feature in the game!

As long as the stick is half decent and works fine on pc I'm in. Anything that's not super expensive and doesn't kill my fingers like d-pad is ok in my book.
