Mad Catz SFIV stick is “sticky,” says hardcore
According to this Destructoid piece, the Street Fighter hardcore are complaining that the apparently brilliant Mad Catz SFIV stick… sticks.
Members of the Shoryuken message board are complaining the joystick sticks in its former diagonal position instead of snapping back to the neutral zone.
This is all about the lower cost stick, for the record. There’s a beefier version which is apparently “perfect,” as we’ve just been told.
There’s no geek like a Street Fighter geek. Full thing through there.

Concerning… was going to get that version because the tournament edition is ludicrously priced.

If you’re going to get a stick you’ve really got to go the whole hog IMHO. If you can’t justify it to yourself then you probably don’t play SF relentlessly enough anyway.
This is almost certainly a good thing.

Seriously… £150? You’re right, I wouldn’t being playing it enough. I wouldn’t pay £150 for a keyboard and mouse and I use them all day every day.

I have a hard time justifying £150 for a console!

What I need is a 360 controller with a proper D-pad.
Anyone know if such a thing exists?

Well… there are the fightpads which Mad Catz are making too. No doubt there will be a story along soon about how they teach your kids foul language whilst your back is turned or something.

Cool, thanks.
An 8.7 from IGN Gear suggests that they might be worth investing in.

Saying that… the standard fightsticks have been getting high review scores everywhere too.
