Two new previews of the Street Fighter 4 Mad Catz sticks have made their way online.Other cool features: the start and pause buttons have been moved from the top of the box to the front -- to avoid accidently hitting them while pulling off multi-button maneuvers. There's a storage area for the cord in the back. The top plate unscrews from the unit allowing modders to change out buttons and do those things that modders likes to do. Of course, that will render the warranty invalid, but that's the tinkerer's curse, right?
The Street Fighter stick is also designed to work with other fighting games -- a switch on the bottom of the box allows you to change the functionality of the joystick -- you can have it serve as a directional pad (a must for SFIV) or you can have it perform like a left-hand stick or right-hand stick on a regular game controller.
Lastly, word on Capcom-Unity is that Alex Valle tried out the Tournament Edition stick and said it's the best stick ever on the market.
From everything I've been hearing, these sticks should end up being excellent.
