Yeah, heard about that.
Hoping it'll settle or at least not be too frequent.
Do we know if it's a deliberate act on their part or just a consequence of various updates?

Yeah not sure if it's deliberate on their part or not, something tells me that it is. Either way Brooks has been really good at keeping the firmware updated so that's at least a good thing.

Your options are either these Madcatz pads or the Hori Fighting Commander.

I know the test above was for the PS4, but does anyone know whether the PS4 VLX is laggy on PC too?
Hearing only good things about this one, would have been what I got if I didn't come across a good deal for a stick.

I have one and like it a lot. I'm considering picking up a Madcatz pad if I can find one for cheap and see which one does better on the durability test.
I was really disappointed by the Madcatz SF4 pads back in '09 or so. Two friends and I each bought one and all of them fell apart in a matter of months.

Yeah, the "Hori Fighting Commander 4" is actually an older model, but it has a couple more features IIRC.

Yes, their is a squared gate on the FightPad D-Pad so you can actually feel diagonals/corners. I can show you tomorrow.
Amazon will get their product shortly after Mad Catz gets theirs. I'm not sure on their shipping logistics so I don't know how long it will take them to process orders/send it out to customers. I can't speak on their behalf. I just know if you preorder from Mad Catz, you'll have yours by launch.
My Fighting Commander 4's d-pad has been really mushy lately.
I don't know if I have a defective one or not, but the d-pad just doesn't feel as responsive as it should be. At first I thought I'd need to break it in a little, but it's still doing it. Like, even navigating around menus feels a little slow.

That more entry-level Alpha controller is really interesting. Seems a good way for people to try a fight stick without having to get the full scale one right away.
Might just get one myself actually.

It actually has an authentic scaled arcade button/stick layout. It's just the base/casing that is smaller than the norm.
I have two that I'm using right now with Sanwa parts (one of them is silent) and they're great!

This may be a silly question but i do not know the difference between TE2+ and TE S+.
I guess i am trying to find out if the TE S+ is the same size as original SF4 Stick because i do not want some small BS.
The original SF4 stick was great and served me well.

How are the stock parts?
I believe the case of the 2+ is more easily modable.

Well I went ahead and ordered both off of amazon. I'll see which one will ship on time, hopefully one does.
Quick question, what was the name of the mod that just became available that lets you use your Xbox 360 stick on PS3 and ps4?

Damn, that's very unfortunate.

even now? because the store has an addendum about any new preorders not shipping until March
The 2's have added buttons (the touchpad and I believe L3 and R3?). And the + vs the regular comes down to the type of case. The +'s you can just press a button and open up the case for very easy parts switching. The regulars are a little bit more difficult.
Simple and concise. Thank you for clearing things up.

That's only for the TE2+ and TE-S+ FightSticks. The Alpha and FightPad you should be okay if you preorder now.

Preordered a fightpad from Amazon. Can't wait to try it out. In the meantime I'm stuck with the DS4 for the beta. Surprisingly I'm doing pretty decent. Can't really use EX moves but it's whatever.

The madcatz sfiv dpad gave my thumb blisters after 10 min playing. Will the new one do the same?
I don't think they can officially say it's supported by the PC. Their wording on previous products seem to suggest this.
I don't think anyone can answer this question.

I'm not keeping mum about anything. I've tweeted this previously too.
ALL of our SFV products work with PC (d-input) as do all PS4 controllers, since we use the same IC solution that licensed PS4 products use.
However, Capcom's Street Fighter V on PC only supports x-input at this time -- it is being updated (from what I've been told), but at this moment, only x-input will work.
What does this mean? Capcom addressed it on their Steam FAQ: http://steamcommunity.com/app/310950/discussions/0/483368526574345402/
We are also working on firmware updates to our products to allow an x-input mode. However, I don't have a solid date on when that will be ready.

Anyone know how good the Dpad is on the hori fight pad?
Yep, Hori new sticks/controllers are PS4/PS3/Xinput.
So the touch pad will have a use for training it seems, able to quickly reset characters positions to left, middle or right side of screen with a quick tap, seems like a cool idea.
Saw it in the new Game Modes Trailer.

Another alternative, the new Fighting Commander, it doesn't have the rotating dpad and the left shoulder buttons can be changed to L3 and R3. That's currently what I use. I did pre-order the Mad Catz Fight Pro though.
This is sexy. Import only for now, right? Gonna check Play Asia.

At this point, yes unless you wanna buy one of those adapters.

Yes, import only for now. You might find the controller a bit small if you got big hands, but I got used to it after a few days. It is actually much better than the FC4, the dpad doesn't rotate on its own.
Dang. That's different than the original image:
Still keeping my preorder, but a little disappointed.
I wonder if it's possible to get a flathead screw that would be more flush for the bottom center one.
Fuuuuuuuck. Now I don't know whether to just nab a chun li te2 or wait for this.
