MC SFIV sticks/pads preorder

anyone else considering buying the pad? i like the new dpad/analog stick but I'm not too fussed with the normal 360 pad atm.

 

I'm considering buying the pad. I just need to save up enough money for it XP

 

One thing I don't get is, why would they have the turbo button feature thing?

 

A better question is, For people who already have the VSHG, what is the point to buying the Tournament Edition stick. I mean, all I can think of is a sticking cord, two extra buttons inline with the other 6 (which isn't always a good thing), start and select buttons out of the way, the ability for the stick to serve as an analog stick both right and left, and turbo. some majority of these features are completely useless in its primary intended use.

So, will someone answer that for me. Am I missing something??

 

I intend to buy the pad. I'm extremely excited for a pad that plays similarly to the one that was released in tandem with Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, but without the poor durability.

 

hey so I just pre-ordered mine from videogamecentral.com
Did anyone else pre-order from this site? And if you have do you live in Canada? And lastly what shipping method did you use? I wanted to use UPS ground but it wouldn't let me. any other Canadians have that problem?

 

I have the VF4 and both the Red and Blue VF4EVO sticks for the PS2. The Tekken 5 stick and another blank RAP2 for the PS2. I pre ordered two TE sticks and two regular FS, one stick type for each system, so four total. And I own two VSHG but they are the first wave models with button issues and I rarely use them.

The TE sticks are really the only sticks out of the box that are 100% solid so I can keep them around unmodified and never violate the warranty. Everything else I've modded or replaced parts galore.

I collect sticks. But I also use them. The TE sticks are like the ultimate collectible and usable stick.

 

Same here. I have a custom stick from Arcade-in-a-box for X360 but its very large and its difficult to travel around with. With the TE stick I will have something that is similar in size to the VSHG. I also have a EX2 but I don't like using it at all.

 

You can't ship UPS ground into Canada due to duty purposes, even if you claim zero value.

 

I have a VSHG and just sent it to 001 to be modded. In my older age I think that graphics on my sticks look a little imature. I used to think they were AMAZING though and I still see some that look really cool but the SF4 TE isn't really one of them. None of my ex g/f's ever agreed. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif That's prob one of many reasons y they're exes now tho hahahaha.

All and all...I might get one just for collector's sake.

Awesome stick!!! Intimate designs which make people comfortable to build his own stick~
I thought VSHG was the best stick before but it seems turn out that SFIV stick is much cooler!!! However, the price isn't interesting I guess....

Hope everyone that wants one is able to get one eventually /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

Looks like video game central still have some available. Hopefully everyone gets one :-D

I am glad because I am not capable of modding and buying the tools to mod cost quite much.

I suggest reading this and contacting VGC before pre-ordering from them atm.

 

Double post sorry, but I guess it's important.
Capcom put up a few more TE Sticks for sale on their store.

Yeah, he's right, the site has too many bad reviews. I just called my bank to stop payment for 30 dollars. I think I'll give up on the sticks now /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
