Super "NeoGAF Arcade Stick Thread" II TURBO

MarkMan said:
USF4 is slated for this week. The only reason it was a big delay as it was, due to it being Thanksgiving week as well. So yeah, hope we can ship preorders/orders out by end of this week for the USF4 PS4/PS3 sticks!

For Guilty Gear, it is still on schedule :) won't know more until it's getting closer to arriving.

For the love of God please get those sticks on Amazon.
 
MarkMan said:
Sorry, they won't be on Amazon at this time. Hopefully they'll take future ones though!

That really hurts anyone outside of the US and Europe. It's very hard to get Mad Catz products at any sort of reasonable price, especially shipping. I hope you guys are aware of that.

Amazon is reliable and has good shipping fees. At the moment the TE2 is something like $120 more expensive than the RAP V4 because the only option is to use an expensive forwarding service.

I'm aware, unfortunately we don't have the ability to sell the PS4/PS3 sticks directly to EU at this time, otherwise we'd have them available for order there as well. We're working on it still.
 
Ugh... They waited a week and a half to tell me this:

Thank you very much for your order to Mad Catz shop in Japan. I am sorry for your waiting however we finally found that it is difficult to ship FightStick to abroad.

Please place an order to madcatz.com so that they could shiip goods in domestic.

We are deeply sorry for your inconvenience once again. We will process cancellation after this email.

I even inquired after a week and they were all "please understand." So I guess my only options now are the ugly TE2s in the US, which I have zero interest in so I'm stick-less and I may as well throw these Hayabusa sticks in the trash now. Frustrated beyond belief.

Meanwhile, the Princess Kaguya Blu-Ray that came out in Japan yesterday? Currently out for delivery.

If you need assistance proxying a stick from Japan I know a few people who could help. You could even try asking some people on GAF who are already in Japan like colinp.

Just ordered my XB1 R.A.P stick a few days ago and it should be here by saturday. Just wondering, what's that gap at the bottom have under it? None of the pictures online show what the groove at the bottom of the casing contains.
 
Is there any repository for stick art PSDs, specifically formatted for the TE2? I'll hopefully get the USF4 PS4 TE2 next week and I'm thinking about modding it.

Its not exactly awesome for people in the EU at the moment as the new PS4 compatible sticks are only available on the US store. Going to grap a HRAP I think as I want something to play GG with and dont fancy paying around twice the price to get one reshipped.
 
Haha, I asked them to clarify and got this BS excuse:

I am sorry for poor explanation. The reason why we could not ship this product to abroad is that this particular product is not allowed to sell to outside of Japan. Please understand that this is licensed product.

So what are my next-gen stick prospects for the future now? I don't like what's currently available on the market.

I couldn't ask someone to do me a favor lime that. Plus I shouldn't have to "proxy" anything anyway. I ordered through Amazon.co.jp and I should've just gotten it like any other item I've ordered from there.

I don't want to have to pay $200+ for a product only to still have to modify it to look presentable. I also kind of don't want to give Madcatz my business after this.
 
Hello arcade stick GAF. I know nothing about arcade sticks. But I love arcade fighting games. I was thinking of building an arcade setup and dropping my PS4 in there. I want to know if there is a twin stick setup for the PS4 or if I have to buy 2 single stick controls?

Ideas and advice are greatly appreciated.

MarkMan, from your posts I see you're going to be at the Playstation Experience. Will you be there as an attendee or representing MadCatz in any fashion?
 
Skilletor said:
So, it's Thursday...any word on the SF4 TE2s shipping, like, tomorrow? lol
Click to expand...

Hoping they arrive either today or tomorrow. They will ship asap. I'll keep everyone informed.

Yes, I'll be attending. I always represent. What's up?
 
Question for anyone who modded a TE2: Can you simply replace the artwork without having to buy a custom plexi?

Also, if so, will the top still stay flush with the case? That raised edge kinda drove me crazy after replacing the art on the original TE.

I believe you just lift up the plexi and overlay your own artwork. The stick artwork is placed on with adhesive.
 
Regarding Ultra Street Fighter IV PS3/PS4 TE2 FightSticks from Mad Catz:

Due to delays at the port, our shipment of PS3/PS4 USFIV FightSticks won't ship until next week. We apologize for the inconvenience.We will keep everyone updated on when we expect them to ship next week. Unfortunately customs clearance is beyond our control.

NOTE: I work for Mad Catz.

Can I get an arcade stick that isn't 20 inches in length?

My custom art is ready :)! Can't wait to get the new TE! Hope the guilty gear sticks ships soon!!
Click to expand...

Nice artwork! Did you do that yourself or did you commission someone to do it?

Also, does anyone know if you can mod a stick yet to be PS3/PS4/PC compatible? I have a Guilty Gear stick on pre-order as well, but I'd like to mod my original TE to also work with PS4.

You'd need to padhack a ps4 pcb, but that would work.

Guilty Gear is still on track, however if the union strike/delays at the port pile up more this week and next, it could spell trouble. But as of right now it has not been flagged to be delayed at all. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Thank you for the info MarkMan, I'll keep my fingers crossed :)!
 
Skilletor said:
Yes it would because you can use a DS4 on ps3. :)
Click to expand...

Thanks! Had no idea the DS4 was backwards compatible. Makes me wonder why there is a switch at all on the TE2.

Now just have to do my research on this mod as this will be a first for me. I have until SF V comes out so plenty of time to figure it out.
 
Is anyone else hopeful, after today's confirmation about crossplay between PS4/PC Streetfighter, that PS4 SFV might support PS3 sticks?


I would rather buy on the PS4, but if I can easily play with friends using PC version and my old PS3 TE stick then that's the route I'll be taking.
 
They have plenty of time to add that driver support to both Ultra and V, I'd imagine. But with Sony assisting in development I'm skeptical.
 
I'm looking to sell my BlazBlue Continuum Shift limited edition (#540 of 1500) fightstick for the PS3. I've haven't received any offers yet and am curious if that's because I only have it done as "make an offer" instead of just putting out a price. I'm hoping you guys may be able to let me know what a fair price would be. I figure it's gonna be fairly expense to ship, but I'm also willing to throw in 3 PS3 fighting games.

Is $125 shipped too much? Too little?

As you can see it is in mint condition with original packaging.

Thanks
 
Any word when we'll get info on what the Capcom Cup TE2 bonus will be? hoping to figure out what to do about pre-ordering shortly.
