Good for some games....

I bought this controller last week and have been using it for MK 9 since. At first I was amazed because it seemed way better than the standard 360 controller. Then little by little it started to show its true colors. When it comes to entering in left inputs (like down to left or left down diagonal) it seemed very hit or miss because of the contour of the stick. You have to be very deliberate with inputs to the right also. If you go to fast your thumb, it is likely to slip and push up. And sometimes for some reason it just doesn't take the inputs. Then tonight I decided to play MvC3. Wow. Good luck. I went back to using the standard controller. Any move that would require a diagonal input doesn't even want to take. I thought maybe I was just slipping but with the standard controller my inputs took. I think it has to do with the shape of the stick itself. And I am starting to notice after a week the micro switches are starting to get loose. I wish I opted to order the Blazblue stick instead of not wanting to wait and buy this controller because it was in stock at the store. You have to be so so so deliberate with your inputs and when you are in the thick of a match you aren't going to be looking down taking what feels like an eternity to put your commands in. I believe that the biggest flaw is with the contour of the stick itself. I wish it was just a tad bit bigger because if it was I don't think there would be these problems.

Fighting game veteran gives it wonderful praise

I was in need of a new controller for the new Street Fighter update and my past arcade sticks were trashed and I'm currently on all sorts of poverty so I can't afford another Madcatz TE right now, and I remember Marn, who is one of the top Marvel and Street Fighter players around had said he was able to pull off certain combos with this controller that he couldn't even do on an arcade stick. I went out and bought it this morning and have been using it for the past 7-8 hours and it has completely exceeded my expectations. As soon as I opened it and turned Street Fighter on I could feel everything coming back to me with just as much ease as my arcade sticks. If you can buy a Madcatz TE stick, do it. If you're thinking about getting a cheaper stick, don't, just get this. I also want to mention that thing is SO light. Easily the lightest controller I've ever held, and the buttons are so sensitive which is really nice. Basically, I'm very happy with my purchase and I feel better now with my gameplay than I did with my arcade sticks. PDP has truly made a fighting game-exclusive piece of magic with this pad. It's beyond wonderful. Also, this is much much much better than the Madcatz Street Fighter Fight Pads that came out in '09.
