I know MarkMan has shown support for the movement but it would kill potential sales for Madcatz me thinks..if we look at it from a business perspective they do have a deal in place.

From what I know the new sticks have the same improvements the Chun stick has but they also added the touch pad and extra buttons. The Chun stick is the same price as the new ones as well.
Some games have the TouchPad for reset in training and don't have the ability to remap it.
It's a convenience thing.

yeah, of course that would be the real reason, I just want to see what nonsense excuse they would use, especially after already doing it for USFIV
That's not a TE, a TE-S, or a VS case. There are pictures of the sticks we're talking about in this thread.
There were occasional deals.

That "Namco" stick is still the best looking one they've ever done.
So the ones with madcatz art are going to be cheaper?

is the touchpad mapped right above TE+ and TE2+ ?
since that is the flaw of the previous TE models which lack of the PS4 select button (ps4 touchpad click)

Prices are ridiculous. Glad I'm going w/ the PC version this time around.

I'd rather just use my Saturn USB pad like I did in the PS3, Capcom,but my PS3 fight stick TEs will work on the PS4, right?

That's the Tekken Vs SF TE stick from Madcatz
So yes it's a TE for 80$ with a Cronus adapter too?
Damn, that's an insane deal. lol.
Okay, so they are very rarely on sale, but saying they dropped to half price after a couple years is incorrect. TE cases became collectible and have held their price over the years. The Fightstick Pro line is always on sale, but they're a cheaper build of stick.
But thanks for that, I hadn't ever seen a TE cheaper than 100. I stand corrected.
I'm obviously talking about The TE we're speaking of in this thread, not the fightstick pro line.

If the Alpha is moddable, I'm in.
The FC4 is good and durable?
Might consider getting it then when SFV hits.

I've had the previous model and newest one and haven't had any issues. Used the newest one on the last beta and it felt really good.

exciting times when an arcade stick thread provides good convos! man i hope SFV have tournament like lobbies like in vanilla SF4 but revamped.
I love mine. I use it for MAME games and when I'm too lazy to play on a stick.
Nope, the FC4 is not durable, I don't even use mine anymore, all fightpads suck
What I use is the Sega Playstation PS2 controller with the Brook PS2 to PS4 adapter.

seriously
the GOAT right there
Got mine for $75 back in the day using a buy one get one free. Definitely the GOAT.
Awesome, thanks guys!
I'll be fine with something that is easier to get and has 4 collar buttons

Dem prices. Another reason to stick with PC version. Just get the Horis, the Hayabusa is much better.
Yeah, I preordered the Chun Li one and preferred it's aesthetics but the lack of the touch screen is a strike against it. I'll think it over but I'll probably end up going for the new design.
It's too bad you got stuck with that one though, I've been in that situation a few times before and it always sucks.
Awesome, thanks guys!

Might as well stick with the DualShock 4. The rubber holding the dpad on the FC4 is very fragile. I'd only suggest you to get one if you can find it for cheap.
There's also this model available
Not too sure about the Hayabusa, it has a nasty habit to sporadically spring back to neutral (bad for 3S use).
I bought a PS4 on Monday and haven't received it yet but was considering getting something for fighting games because of people saying that the DS4 has crappy build quality.
The reviews and impressions seem to be very positive for the FC4 from what I've looked up.
(I will be playing a ton of SFV and KOFXIV)
How does something sporadically spring back to neutral? You'd have to let go of the stick for that to happen.
I have a Hayabusa in almost every stick I own. I much prefer it to Sanwa and Seimitsu, especially with a heavier spring (I put 2lb in all of mine).

I play Gief, I use the dpad for movement and srk motions, I barely use it for spd, if ever. I use my analog stick for SPD and 720's (ultra's). In essence, this is the perfect pad concept for me, had they left the other analog stick, perhaps I could have used it to play an occasional shooter or action game too, but they removed it entirely.
Funny that they kept the triggers in a fight pad, but removed the rightstick which you need for shooters and other genre's. I'd say, these guys are confused as to what they really wanted for this pad.
I've tested this with multiple Hori sticks. Basically I lightly graze the ball-top with my finger to the right to simulate a back-dash, it did the sporadic return. This is specifically an issue with Third Strike whenever I use Urien.
You mean the 4 collar buttons? Those are very useful for shortcuts in fighting games for multiple button presses.

This man speaks the truth.
On topic. Glad I remembered to cancel my Chun TE2. Will most likely pick up the TE2+. I would prefer to get the TES+ but $200 is too high for what it is, although would bite if it was $150ish.
Well, you're right about the DualShock 4 being garbage, it's just not meant to be used for fighting games.
I'm very confused. If you lightly graze the stick, of course it returns to neutral. You're not applying pressure to the stick. Neutral is where it wants to be.
I must not be understanding what you're saying.

Honestly it's a bummer but it's more of a convenience thing with the touch pad.I'll deal. I'm gonna mod the Chun stick anyways cause the case and button colors work for what I want. At least I'll have something more unique.

At this rate they are going to surpass console's prices.

agreed, too much but i'll bite the outer heaven stick.
I never thought I'd say this before the XOne and PS4 came out, but the XOne D-Pad is more capable then the DS4 D-pad... It feels very mushy compared to the DS3 D-pad... In my opinion of course.

for fighting games definitely.
