yeah mines going back today. two days of playing and one of the buttons is already jamming up. da fuq? lol
can't decide if i'm going to go for the hrap4 or fc4. i'm pretty much 50/50 on pad v. stick. i prefer pad as i feel that its easier to get the motions out consistently on both sides (on stick i kind of have issues doing srk motions on p1 side) but pad is annoying when using characters that require ppp or kkk. so i prefer stick for that.
what are your guys thoughts about the latter? is it easy to use the triggers on the fc4? i plan on trying to main dhalsim and being able to do the tiger knee teleports seem even more important due to his redesign

Finally got my TE2+. I gotta say I expected more...I don't really like the feeling of the buttons. I guess I prefer more "clicky" ones, if that makes sense.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good stick but for that price I guess I expected more. I'm still getting used to it and learning how to use it in SFV has been fun so far.
Hope I get better quickly!

Anyone preorder a te2+ from newegg? Says it's supposed to ship 2/28, hope that is the case.
Also does newegg charge hour card immediately or when it ships?

You can buy clicking buttons that you like and put them in. But as for anything in this world, you should always try those before you buy them. youre using SANWA buttons and in a game like SF..you don't wanna clucky buttons that have a slower response. You're using arguably highest quality parts Right now.

I'm really liking my TES+. It certainly is a fingerprint magnet, though.
I plan on getting some of the new Sanwa metallic gold buttons to cap off L1 and L2.

I think I'm gonna join the FC4 train.
I'm a dirty newb who doesn't want to spend a lot so this looks perfect for me.
Hopefully it improves my game, I need all the help I can get!

Hi guys, I'm a fighting noob who is interested in getting a stick and making a serious effort towards learning how to play fighting games.
Could you guys recommend which of the following two would be a better option?

Is the Street Fighter x Tekken PS3 Mad Catz fightpad compatible with this game on PS4?
Anyone knows?
Anyone knows?
There is a newer revision of the first stick (TE+) that adds a touchpad and some other small improvements like better art cover. However that one is more expensive.
The second stick has the same internal components and touchpad as the revised TE+. It comes in a smaller/lighter form factor that many people prefer.
Personally, I'd go with the second stick. I feel like the TE and TE+ are a little bit too big even for a big guy like me. The second stick is also newest revision and has all the features for next gen platforms. Touchpad can be used in cool ways and in some fighting games can allow you to control which side you are on in training mode, among other things. There are other options than those two, but I don't know what's available to you in Australia.
I would get a Hori from amazon, those prices are ridiculous.

I think he's in Australia...thus the insane prices.

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, it's pretty slim pickings in Oz. Besides those, there's the new Mad Catz one with Ryu on it, which I presume is the revised TE+, the entry level Mad Catz SFV stick and some dodgy looking one they sell at EB Games which I've heard is a pile of crap.
Is that relative to US or Australian prices? Everything costs an arm and a leg here.
Eh... so finally got home to try it. It doesn't creak during gameplay, but does creak slightly when moving it (e.g. picking it up and putting it down).
It's a good stick though. I'm happy with my purchase overall.
Who is that?
Mine works
They are. My first gen SFIV Fightpad worked...kinda. After some time of playing it will disconnect. I don't know if this is an issue with the pad (haven't used it in a long, long time) or a bug in the implementation of legacy controllers.
Anyway, you should have no trouble getting the pad recognized by the PS4.
...then why say it was good?
I'm in Australia and got one shipped for 170 AUD when the dollar was better.
Even if it's 220aud its better than 300 plus
i saw that snake eyez was using the sfxt pad at WNF so he likely didn't want to change to the new pad either. the pc version allows him to use his old 360 pad so he doesn't have to change or use a converter which is a plus.

Been using the Qanba Q4 RAF 3-in-1. Disappointed it doesn't work out of the box, but a quick fix with x360ce does the job. It's strange that some xinput controllers don't work natively.

The Fighting Commander 4? Or a previous or new iteration?
Just switch it to 360 mode man.
I'd recommend popping in some Seimitsu PS-14-G buttons in if you're not happy with the Sanwa buttons. They have a really responsive and satisfying press.
That being said, I will basically reiterate what the other poster said, the included Sanwa buttons are high quality and they are considered the gold standard so I would try them and see if your opinion changes after you use them a bit.
If you want to go with something else (and I won't blame you Sanwa is good but it's not my preference) it's not difficult or expensive to swap the buttons out. Just look for the part you press in on the ends of the wires that go into the buttons.
They are largely the same stick but the first is easier to customize and the second has a touch pad and some extra buttons.
I would go for the second one, particularly if you're leaving it stock. I am not sure why it's more expensive though. I don't know much about the video game market in Australia (Other than that you guys get hosed on just about everything, my condolences) but I am pretty sure those two sticks cost the same in the US.
I would shop around and see if you can find a better price. Also maybe consider the TE2+ if it's in your price range and you think you're going to open it up a lot.
Yeah I don't think the Kuros were bad but I definitely like the Seimitsu and Sanwa buttons a lot more. I did notice after I swapped the ones on my HRAP out the ones that got more use in Xrd had worn considerably and comparing them to stock Seimitsu parts was like a night and day comparison.
Anyway anyone who has those buttons may want to swap them out sooner than later or at least keep a close eye on them as they seem way less durable than buttons from the other manufacturers.
The buttons should be exactly the same as your old stick if I read between the lines properly that you had a TE.
I actually had custom art for my stick and due to the suggestion of the person who did the art I swapped the top plexi out almost immediately with one from art's hobbys. If you don't like the one on top maybe replace it. As far as sturdiness goes maybe tighten the screws for the bezel, I haven't noticed anything like that myself but I modded it almost immediately and rescrewed all that stuff in tightly.
Sanwa buttons are considered the standard but I don't think there's anything that inherently makes them better than Seimitsu, they are definitely high quality but I think it's really a matter of preference.

My TE2+ arrived from Amazon.ca.
I'll wait a bit to give a proper review. But off the bat some things feel super high quality and other things do not. I'm not sure about some of the design choices.
Can anyone confirm that there is only 90 day limited warranty on the TE2+?
I read the little booklet that comes with it and it says limited 90 day warranty. For a $350 product noone else has mentioned this, wanna make sure I got this right. I believe other TE2s have 2 years. If my info is correct that is concerning.

For those using pads without headphone jack, the Logitech H540 USB headset is working natively, plug and pay on the PS4.
It's not the best high end product, but for the price, it gets the job done.

No shit.
I took a quick look on Google and found a Reddit post by MarkMan23 in regards to this:
"For licensed products in North America, the warranty is 90 days (due to license obligations with both Sony/Capcom).
In Europe, by law, the warranty period is 2 years.
However, in any instance I want you to know that we support our products and will support it as long as we still make it/have parts for it. You can always contact our support team at support.madcatz.com. It's always good to have proof of purchase too (as our team always asks for it)."
So it depends where you are located but they'll probably try to take care of you regardless.
The Fightpad Pro V is definitely garbage. Mine seems to have trouble registering any down left motions. Thought maybe it just needed some breaking in but after 2 days it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Ugh. 60 bucks wasted.
Welp, least I still have the FC4 to fall back on. I really like that chun li finish on the Fightpad pro v though :/

What is the best way to grip a fight pad? I had a TE stick but on 360 and don't really know if I want to invest another 200 bucks on a stick. Do you just use your thumb over the 6 buttons and if so is it difficult to pull off ex moves reliably? Or is the best way to use your fingers the same way you would on a stick? Is there enough room for that method?

This is artistic. lol
The size is a bit different, the layout of the touchpad and other extra buttons is different and the TE2+ opens from the top with a single button press.
