Ultra Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick TE2 revealed (X360 - PS3/PS4 with toggle)
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
I thought it was just a fun ad just for the sake of it. Like celebrating PS4 launch with fun nostalgic stuff.
Not derail the thread, but are you saying I am to make something out of this too?

Good, PS4 becoming the default next gen fighter console.

So does this confirm that ps3 sticks won't work on ps4?
Even though its usb and it makes no sense for them not to work??

The first version of the TE fightstick for PS3 don't work on PC either unless you have a very rare chip set... despite being USB. It's fucking lame.
I thought it just didn't work on AMD boards?
"No USF4 for Xbox One"
I know all hints have been as subtle as a brick to the face but it's nice to have more of them until Capcom officially announces the PS4 version.
Fixed.

I'm working on a licensed arcade stick also that's PS3/4 also because it was an option Sony provided for us. There's no conspiracy.
Can you swap the side panels? I would like to make the stick all black and remove the blue sides.
Thank you.
I figured as much though, that it was a case of why not.
Still, Microsoft needs to understand that cross-play is important for the FG community.
EDIT: Actually I do have a question, the Stick I got is the Sako Hori Fighting Edge, but honestly it doesn't quite cut it for me as the sticks in the USF4 Arcades in Tokyo felt closer to what I am used to. If I grab this stick, will I see the same change in comfort?
...yet

yes, the TE2 is a pretty robust beast when it comes to customization.
Awesome! Can't wait to get it!

So you guys made a USF4 stick so people could play Injustice? Riiiiighht 
(I'm being difficult, I know it's a good idea for the consumer)

The Fighting Edge lever is the 'Hayabusa' and is a bit different in feel from Japanese arcades. If you want to replicate the Japanese arcade experience, you'd want to go with something with Sanwa parts (most high end arcade sticks have em'), this one also has Sanwa parts.
But yeah, some people can't tell, but I can. The Fighting Edge parts VS Sanwa is such a clear difference for me.
Common ground?
I'm buying it just by virtue of being a stick which can be used on the PS4. It should also serve me well for a couple of FG which I have on my PS3 such as Skullgirls encore, SF III 3rd strike, GG accent core + R, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually see a PS4 port of Ultra (I hope that it wouldn't have 2 frames of delay like the PS3 version does).
Thanks.
I had read quite a bit before I replaced my wrongly donated TE with the Fighting Edge, but it wasn't until I went back to the Arcade did I notice how much different it was. Though, I know Arcade/PC SF4 feels different from console so I thought that was why.
If it is a clear difference to you, I'll take your word and look into the KI sticks rather than a converter.
The only question left is how I should donate the Fighting Edge...

PS3/PS4 dual modded stick right out the gate is an unexpected treat. Fantastic.

Yeah, with good reason. We offer a lot more than that stick has to offer.

That blue color on the PS3 stick is so delicious.
Because it's good to have forward compatibility on a peripheral for a device that has a successor out? Good enough reason in my eyes, whether or not a PS4 USFIV ever hits (would be nice for console 1080p and perhaps ensuring there's never any FPS drops, though I don't vividly recall any on PS3.)
EDIT: Oh, and Injustice is out now, Mortal Kombat X will hit, and maybe it's useful in Towerfall Acension. Unless I'm missing something on the NetherRealm front you've got reasons to want this on PS4.
EDIT 2: And Guilty Gear! And maybe you just like the artwork come on it's not that hard to figure out.

How long is the cord on the PS3/4 version?
Is there a wireless option?
Are the black buttons up top a fully functional trackpad like on the PS4 controller or just buttons?
Are there any lights on these?
Anything less than constant 60fps for a fighter would be seriously laughed at by the FG community and never taken seriously. Maybe a 3D fighter could get away with it potentially, but 2D fighters have recently been constant and always will be...
To play the better fighting game Guilty Gear Xrd
Just kidding btw, I love SF and Guilty Gear
There's lots of drops in SF4 on ps3, some on 360. There's a reason tourneys only choose training stage. UMvC3 is terrible on ps3 because of the frame skipping.
Some of Decapre's moves in Ultra seem to cause frame drops. Her super ball ultra especially.
Since I was only an online warrior with SF4, I thought it would only slowdown due to lag. I didn't know that it has framerate issues outside of that, damn.
Assuming from Markman's posts on this thread, it is just a lot more trouble making it work for Xbone, getting it to work with drivers and all other dumb as shit requirements Microsoft has. I mean, you have to buy an "official" converter to get a headset to work.

So the OG TE won't work with my PS4?
No. That's a Sony thing.
Which post? I'm just curious if it's something MS doesn't want hardware makers to do or if it's actually a tech reason that they think isn't worth working through.
By "posts" I really meant him stating "because we can" and also him not talking about the Xbone. It is pretty common knowledge that MS has all sorts of requirements for third-party hardware. It doesn't just affect sticks, it affects wheels, headsets, standard controllers and flight sticks w/e...
If they weren't so proprietary with their drivers and shit we would have 360 stuff running on Xbone or Xbone stuff running on PC. Less money for them right?
I imagine they were infrequent and easily missed, kind of like how MGR apparently ISN'T a consistent 60 fps but it's hard to remember the drops.
Though that's probably enough reason (outside of the 1080p and not needing to keep the PS3 around JUST for that obviously) for a PS4 version.
I imagine Microsoft was either very short sighted, greedy, or both when planning out the XB1. 360 historically was its own island when it came to accessories while a lot of stuff could be PS3/PC compatible, and even with Sony breaking compatibility for DS3 with PS4 you still get accessories like this out and things like the Skylanders portal are cross gen (and even PC/Wii/Wii U compatible.) Meanwhile you need separate portals for Skylanders on 360 and XB1, and if Microsoft licensing is a pain then I can see that switch thing falling apart despite the fact it'd make the stick a better investment at this point in time.
