 Excellent Stick |
| Review Date: March 23, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Elliott Cooper-Balis, DC |
| While the internals are the same as the previous TE sticks, the smaller form factor (yet same weight) makes it far more manageable for players who keep their sticks in the lap. If you don't have a stick yet, this is the way to go. |
Great stick but for serious gamer

| Very good stick very responsive, you barely even have to touch a button for it to engage. well balanced doesn't move around alot, if at all. Will take some time getting use to if you are converting from a game pad. I recommend the stick to a serious gamer, if your just having fun and not serious about street fighter or any fighter this isn't the route for you!! but if you are you will be completely satisfied!! |
Awesome Stick

First off, this is an amazing arcade stick with great packaging. You can also mod this stick. There are quite a few resources on the net about this. do a search for Art's Hobbies and Joystick in google to find out.
If you're reading this review, and wondering, is this stick worth the price, the answer is yes. It's a really expensive stick, that's for sure, but you get what you pay for. If you're a retrogamer like me and you spend hours playing not only fighting games but Pac-Man CE, Afterburner Climax, Final Fight DI, etc for the latest consoles, then you owe it to yourself to pick up one.
The Sanwa buttons aren't concave like how you remember most US arcade machines, they are japanese styled, but this actually makes them faster to use, and you won't regret it after using it. They're very light and sensitive. It does take some getting used to to convert from a pad to this stick, but you'll be happy you did.
As far as the square gate goes, it didn't really give me any problems with QCF/QCB type moves. You just have to give it a bit to get used to it. The sticks look really great in your house when you have friends over, and if you're enterprising you can toss the artwork and get artwork in there that is done custom (will probably void warranty tho). I imagine all kinds of players might want a PacMan, Robotron, Afterburner, Outrun, or even Taito Viewlix designs on there.
You can get really nice custom sticks out there for around 200 dollars, so if price isn't a concern you might want to support your community instead of a corporation, but on the other hand you have it all right here. The price and availability does seem to fluctuate alot, so waiting might get you a cheaper stick.
To sum up, if you want quality but can't afford it, put 20 dollars a week aside and in a little over a month you can invest in this stick which will last a long time, and will surely be worth it if you are into playing games the way they were meant to be played and not with the abomination of modern console pads. |
Great Stick!

| This is an excellent stick! If you are serious about playing fighting games you really need this. Official Sanwa parts so it is sturdy and well constructed. It comes with the square gate but I swapped it out for an octagon gate(my personal preference)...yes it is pricey but worth every penny! |
Great fight stick

| For my first purchase of an arcade fightstick I couldn't be more pleased. My roommate has a modded madcatz SE with sanwa stick and buttons that I played with before I bought this but I really like the space the TE "S" gives you for your hands to rest while playing and the sleek black design is perfect for me. The only gripe that I would have and its almost pointless to say but I feel like these controllers/sticks should be universal to any gaming system some how some way! Or at least for all the major ones. Its silly to think that I would have to buy another stick for the PS3 just because my stick is XboX compatible only!?? I know they gotta make their money but damn theyre all under Mad Catz anyway! |
