Determining just how much of a competitive edge the Tournament Edition Arcade FightStick gives users will have to wait until we can perform a full review. The Tournament Edition did, however, have a notable competitive edge granted by its 30mm Action Buttons. Both seemed very responsive and the buttons were sturdy and loosely padded. We'll have to wait for our full evaluation to get an extended play session with each, however, we can definitely see how the larger surface of the Tournament Edition might come in handy during prolonged use.Īs far as playability is concerned, both sticks are incredibly fun to virtually pummel each other with. While the Tournament Edition gives users a significant amount of space to rest their arms on, we found that both were quite comfortable during use. The standard FighStick is a little boxier and compact for improved storability. Both feature pretty wicked, officially licensed art on the top plate, however, we were definitely fonder of the Tournament Edition simply because it had more room to show it off.Īs the product images show, the Tournament Edition has a significantly wider body that tapers off on the edges. To further prevent gamplay interruption, Mad Catz has placed the Start/Select (or Start/Back for 360) buttons on the backside of the sticks. Similarly, both sticks feature an Xbox 360 Dashboard/PS3 Home button located in the upper left corner, along with a corresponding locking switch that disables them to prevent unwanted disruption during extreme bouts of button mashing.

Both FightSticks arrange the buttons in typical arcade-fighter fashion-two rows of four with the joystick close at hand with only about an inch and a half between them. While component grade and design varies between the two, the core button layout is the same. We got throw down in Street Fighter IV using both sticks and get an early taste of what the FightSticks will be offering consumers next month. We were given an opportunity to check out Mad Catz's Street Fighter IV accessories at their exclusive suite in Las Vegas. Both sticks feature 8 button configurations and will be available in February for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The Tournament Edition FightStick is bulky and built for serious competitive play, while the somewhat more subdued variation, the Arcade FightStick, is smaller and better suited for in-home use. The Official Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick: Tournament Edition is aimed toward Street Fighter purists and uses the same components as the renowned Japanese arcade manufacturer, Sanwa Denshi. While both sticks are geared toward fighting game enthusiasts, one is aimed toward the hardcore audience and the other to more casual players. Click here to see more of the Mad Catz FightSticks.
