Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPad Review: I'm Going to Kill You So, So Bad

Let's get this much out of the way: Shoryuken for shoryuken, the Mad Catz Street Fighter IV FightPad is a vastly superior instrument of destruction compared to the standard Xbox 360 controller.

for the PS3 anyway, I found the Dualshock to perform better personally.

onomix5904d ago

Dumbest post I have ever read.

PotNoodle5904d ago

Why is it dumb, he prefers the dualshock? Good for him.

Blasphemy5904d ago

It's not dumb. I had that same exact controller for the PS3 and I too returned it. It is much easier to pull off moves using the analog sticks. I now have me a Street Fighter 4 Madkatz stick and I must say: anyone who is using a controller in this game is at an unfair advantge. It is so much easier to pull off moves using the Fight stick.

Bnet3435904d ago

It doesn't matter what controller you use, arcade stick is the way to go.

Perjoss5904d ago

@ Kigmal

agreed, I managed to grab a tournament stick, yeah it was expensive but its pure awesomeness. I will not only be using it for SF though, I also like the occasional game of soul caliber, Ikaruga, and lets not forget the next installment of king of fighters :)

If you have an Xbox 360 Controller, throw it out for fighting games. Actually throw out the whole thing, it sucks.

Sin-CityGamer5904d ago (Edited 5904d ago )

Playing on a controller pad other than an arcade stick = fail

...but then again... its a matter of preferability...

II Necroplasm II5904d ago

I really want the arcade stick... but damn alot of money for it.

SmokingMonkey5904d ago

a genesis controller?!

Information Minister5904d ago (Edited 5904d ago )

... is that a Saturn controller?

Because the original controller for the Genesis only had three buttons. Sega actually released the six button controller because of Street Fighter 2. It's ironic that a decade later history repeats itself.

BTW I agree with your opinion that SF Alpha 3 is the best in the franchise.

SmokingMonkey5904d ago

that is ironic that i would bring that up then?!
good info, about the six buttons

but i always preferred the snes/playstation shoulder button layout to the six button face agree's?

SmokingMonkey5904d ago (Edited 5904d ago )

but ill fill this post up with some info...

at my gamestop we have been sold out of the arcade sticks since the day SF4 came out and we get 5+ people asking for it daily. Madcrapz could be making a lot of money....KZ2 midnight release

Sin-CityGamer5904d ago

...hai monkey =) which gamestop you work at? I havent gotten SF4 yet which I prolly should already have but KZ2 is around the corner and I know I'm not gona have time to play SF4.. I'm not that good anyway altho I do enjoy the game. I'm more of a Tekken player...

SmokingMonkey5904d ago

yeah, i feel like SF4 is going to get thrown under the bus...the KZ2 bus so i really only have a few days to play SF4

i can say that i still prefer streetfighter alpha 3 the best of all SF's just because this one feels slower, moves come in delayed it seems, still street fighter still accepting challenges online till midnight 12:01am feb 27th

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde676d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12676d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde676d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B675d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B676d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h676d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

gold_drake676d ago (Edited 676d ago )

eyyy max xD

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

GhostScholar675d ago

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

gamer78042007d ago

they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.

King92007d ago (Edited 2007d ago )

Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.

Teflon022007d ago

SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways

gamer78042007d ago

botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.

Enigma_20992007d ago

Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.

King92007d ago

Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.

PhoenixUp2007d ago

You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC

NapalmSanctuary2007d ago (Edited 2007d ago )

Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.

rainslacker2007d ago

That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?

Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.

Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.

If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
