Still reading? You must not be interested. These bad boys go fast ... but are they built to last?

Not that new, many stores have them restocked since last month. I got me one from a local gamestop over a month ago. They do go fast though.

Got mine yesterday and it rocks...... Unless ur one of those who can't play on a square gate....pussies

I really wish these were a bit cheaper. They look sweet and I want to buy two of them for some sweet home tourney parties.

Temidien @ Jun 24th 2009 2:58PM

Why do they have to be restocked the month I am completely broke?? WHHYYYYY????!?!!!

j0e @ Jun 24th 2009 3:01PM

Just got mine at a local GameStop. At first I wasn't really into the square gate, but as I pretty much only play charge characters I quickly got used to it. I can see where an octagonal gate would be much better for certain characters though. Luckily you can get them for about $10 shipped on eBay and switching them out is pretty easy.

They're not goin anywhere lol they've been restocked here in the UK for like a month now and no one seems to be buying any plus on ebay the TE can go as low as 60...

JT @ Jun 24th 2009 3:41PM

Thanks Joystiq... been waiting months for this. Now I can play the game at long last.

Why isn't there a bluetooth pad?

First, I've NEVER been a fan of MadCatz products, I've never had much success with them, from their flimsy carry cases, to their el cheapo pads (the fury.., from the early PS2 days..).

Plus, this whole half ass compatibility scares me. Why can't we get a real pad, working on bluetooth?

Is this some licensing issue?

Nael M. @ Jun 24th 2009 5:40PM

Price issue, apparently. It's cheaper to do RF than Bluetooth on PS3.

Heh, I ordered one of these when they were first announced with some coupon for $130. That was like 6 months ago, and I completely forgot about it and it shipped like 3 days ago. Of course, I no longer need it anymore. Go figure.

Nitsua @ Jun 25th 2009 12:02AM

The fight pads are available on MadCatz's website though, don't know why they say they are still out of stock.

Kogen @ Jun 24th 2009 4:09PM

... Why does the 360 one cost more?

HamalSharatan @ Jun 24th 2009 8:00PM

I think it's because MS requires third party to make jacks for their headsets.

jam @ Jun 24th 2009 4:26PM

360 stick 10 bucks more???? AAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS HOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLEEEEES!

Garvey @ Jun 24th 2009 4:26PM

I was at one of the Best Buys in Miami this past weekend, and i saw the fight pads for the 360 there. I saw Ryu and Chun Li. Just thought I'd put it out there for those that are still searching.

Stormsurge @ Jun 24th 2009 4:55PM

I ordered a Fightpad from Amazon yesterday and I'll have it today. Hopefully it will allow me to actually play the game. Using the Xbox 360 controller on this game is unbearable. Why is it that I'm able to play all other fighting games but Street Fighter without issue?

jimmygotsmack @ Jun 24th 2009 5:06PM

Why do these things have to cost well over 50 dollars? 150 dollars! Just for prestige? Holy crap.

Nael M. @ Jun 24th 2009 5:41PM

Top-of-the-line Japanese arcade parts aren't exactly cheap, you know.

HamalSharatan @ Jun 24th 2009 7:59PM

Just so everybody knows, the fightsticks aren't fully compatible with PC. Some work, some don't. Apparently, if your USB port has the proper chip, it works. Look on shoryuken forums for more info.

RonaldoMoon @ Jun 24th 2009 8:10PM

That's one good thing about living in Arkansas, there's rarely a high demand for anything gaming related. I've been able to pick up two fightpads on separate occasions at the local Best Buy. At least there's one good thing...

#RiG @ GameSurge @ Jun 25th 2009 3:54AM

Just stopped by the Sherman Oaks Bestbuy(to pickup The Conduit :D) and they had one Ryu Fightpad left, gogogo!

#RiG @ GameSurge @ Jun 25th 2009 3:55AM

For 360 that is.

Rop @ Jun 25th 2009 9:59PM

These are ridiculously over priced, coupled with the fact that I have to pay for the exuberant postal and shipping fee which is more than the stick itself from some online stores. For the price of the ordinary stick plus the shipping it's way over the price of the Championship Edition stick without the postage.

A dilemma, really. :(

I've been waiting for local ones to hit the shelves in my country, but none have so far...

About now, my 360 D-pad has worn off nicely to cater to my playing stile, and it serves it's purpose. However crap it used to be. While I still can't do all of the moves, especially combos, it'll have to do for now.

I don't want to pick up the fighting pad, because of the bad reviews I've been reading and for a pad with just a bit of rubber and plastic, it's an extravagant price to cough up on those reasons alone.

RonaldoMoon @ Jun 28th 2009 5:54PM

I have two 360 fightpads and have no complaints. You may want to consider that some people might give lower scores to the pads just because they are not as "l33t" as the sticks.
