It is NOT easy. We had to solder and strip like 20 wires. If you have time, soldering ability, and 4 hands, its very very doable.

So far we have the half finished solution, where both the cthulhu board and the 360 board are powered, so two usb cables are required to function. The button wires go through the cthulhu to the 360 board, where the 360 board serial wires are soldered into the cthulhu. The stick goes from the 360 board, and you need to double solder the points and lead the wires to the cthulhu.

We can solder the 5v and ground into each board, then a singleUSB cable will power them each. OR we can add a switch and switch between PS3/PC and 360 on a single usb cable.

As for if it works on TE, id imagine it does if the insides dont differ from each other too much (type of buttons do not matter)

Cool, I have the EXP to do this, but I may wait to see if there is a PS3 game that I would want to do this for. Good work.

I have one of these

I want to mod to work with 360. Got any tips? That way I have the pelican and the hori doa iv stick to keep me until the se stick becomes available.

I know that modding is possible with those sticks, but that it's difficult. I asked the local stick modder once and he said it would be hard as hell, almost cheaper to get a custom. So I did.

Since I'm pretty much done with tournaments (my job makes it near impossible- I may do one a year after this year), I got it for the 360.

I go in to work at 12:30am tonight, (I got a half hour off in case of midnight launch), but I'm in no rush, since I'll sleep and SFIV will be there when I get up, or someone's eating Frog Punch. ^_^

DHL is terrible. About a year ago I was expecting a new cell phone to replace my damaged insured phone and the driver just threw the box at my front door. I heard "conk" noise and when I open the door the box is sideways on the ground and the guy was driving away in the DHL van.

word to the wise: never select DHL as shipping courier. they suck ass,
they may fast for flying it there. but not reliable by truck, their updates are half-asses and their drivers are morans, they don't even leave a notice at your door when they passed by.
garbage

I will probably get my US copy way before I ever get my Import copy if this keeps up

so, stay away from DHL.
I though EMS was bad, but this is worse
Click to expand...

EMS can't really be bad - it's just the government's post office courier service.

DHL sucks balls though. No wonder they're closing their US branches :lol

I'm just hoping Amazon ships the game tomorrow. I need this game by Wednesday! Not even C. Viper cosplay porn can keep me busy for 3 more days.

So custom ST for the PS3 version.. Nice.

I think the soundtrack for the game is pretty great as is but it will be cool to be able to listen to the SF3TS soundtrack if i get the urge...

C'mon it's Mario. While SF is a niche title... Fighters aren't that big in Japan (except for VF).

Just be happy, we're getting a new SF...and hope it continues to do well in Japanese arcades...sells okay on PS3 and does great overseas to justify 5.

I went to the arcade last night, at some guys were playing. I put my quarter up and was waiting to play. I never played before, so I picked beginner mode so I could test the waters. The super nerd playing on the machine next to me (he had a neckbeard and was wearing high socks w/ shorts) says, "CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE PLAYING-"

I just lost it and I yelled at the guy and told him NOT TO FUCK WITH ME. The key to playing street fighter at the arcade is to act like the craziest guy in the room.

Also my SE stick is broken. It gets stuck in forward and DF.

Got this (360 version) via friend who went to the launch party.

No complaints so far. Unlocked everyone last night aside from Gouken and Seth (I'll unlock them later today).

Now if only the TE stick would get here.

I really like the Challenge mode - but I wish that like Bionic Commando there was a way to see what I was executing rather than either the formal move name or the button inputs (maybe there is and I've not figured out how to do it).

Eurogamer's review is spot on.

Hey doesn't Bungie have a 3S cab?
How did you like 3rd Strike, and how would you compare it to this?

Fixed and the reason for that is the fact that they can play at arcades. :D

Yeah, we have a 3S cab. I like 3S, but I came on pretty late into that game. I think in terms of overall accessibility, which certainly seems to be a design goal for SF4, Capcom's done what they set out to do. Anyone with basic SF fundaments (calling up a Shoryuken on command) is going to find some success in the "regular player" mode of SF4.

I'm really not nearly a technical enough player to compare it with a level of a depth that this thread requires.

I love Street Fighter and I'm probably a scrubby shoto player.

I know I'm a bit late on this, but I am a bit surprised that the commemorative coin left out any and all mentions of SF3. I read it thrice just to make sure.
