The Mad Catz Street Fighter X Tekken fighter stick is awesome, during my short use during our hands-on, I found it easy to navigate and access buttons, the controller didn’t feel stiff or rigged but rather was ease to use. Granted I am completely horrible at using fighting stick, I can tell you this are awesome form my short use. Due for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, the new range of fighting game controllers includes the Street Fighter X Tekken FightPad SD, the Street Fighter X Tekken Arcade FightStick PRO and the flagship Street Fighter X Tekken Arcade FightStick V.S.
