An In-Depth with the Mad Catz FightStick TE

Posted by ShinJN On February - 9 - 2009

So you have seen our panel review of the Mad Catz FightStick Tournament Edition. Now it is time to see a side that is not often covered in product reviews. Join me as I dissect and explore the technical side of this lovely joystick. Allow me to void my warranty so you, the viewers, won’t have to. Learn a thing or two and enjoy this tech review series.

    This is awesome! I’m going to have to try and get a hold of one of these sticks if they eventually do a second production run!

    I wasn’t expecting so many installments on the YouTube page. ShinJN must really go into some great detail. I can’t wait to watch them all!

    Nice narration, too :)

    just finished to watch all the videos.
    Didn’t know Happ stick and buttons doesn’t fit in, but you can always change the ball top for a bat, it should feel similar to a happ stick.
    Thanks for the videos! everyday you learn something new =)

    Is there any soldering required to swap out the stick, or is it a standard kind of connector on Japanese sticks?

    @Gunstar

    There will be no soldering required if you are simply swapping out parts.

    It’s a shame that for all the modability and customization potential that Mad Catz included in this stick, they chose not to make it possible to swap in Happ parts would extensively modifying the case. :(

    Were you sad that T. Hawk and Dee Jay were not included into Street Fighter IV, well so are the developers and apparently if the fans make enough noise they just might include them after all. So what are you waiting for Sign the Petition already!!!

    MAN! If did not see video first I would have opened it from the bottom first. Plus it very detailed down to the tools you need. I’m pretty sure I don’t have a hex key. Awsome review.
