with sf4 coming soon i have been looking at getting a new stick, following the battering i have delt my rap(+magic box), but reaslly want to stay with a quality unit but there seesm to be a distinct lack of sticks about. i did some crawling about the web and there is some buzz about madcats doing a custom sf4 stick. i know the general thoughts about madcats but i was wondering if anyone knew anything about them, or any other stick for the 360, as i want to buy it right the first time round as i dont really have the funds to get it wrong.

Aye, I am also on the hunt for a decent arcade stick but for PS3. What do peeps on the forum recommend? What's all this stuff about mldding buttons I keep reading about? -
I read the madcatz one is being developed with input from capcom, so it may be good.
Think your options really are a Rap3 or VSHG, for PS3.Comment

I'm more than happy with my Hori EX2 on the 360.
Granted I only use it for Shikigami 3, Raiden Fighters Aces & Battle Fantasia so it doesnt get masses of stressful use but seems fine so far.
I will hopefully be picking up one of the Madcatz Street Fighter 4 Editions when they get released as well though...mainly just because I like the look of them

Sure I read that the Madcatz SF4 sticks are using the same layout + part setup as the Vewlix cabs, and if that is true then I am going to be all over that, especially seeing as the art on them looks lovely.
I've got a Hori EX2 currently and for the price it's excellent. I know Hori have another 360 stick out (RAP EX or something?) which has the standard RAP kinda shape, is a little weightier, and has Sanwa buttons, but it's a pricey beast and in my book if you're going the whole hog, a modded EX2 is a fraction of the cost and still a very nice piece of kit.Comment

The premium version of the SF4 is going have Sanwa buttons and a Sanwa stick. So it should be awesome.
The XO HRAP is great as well but hard to find. It has a Sanwa stick. The buttons aren't Sanwas but are pretty good. It should be easy to swap the buttons to Sanwas. I got my HRAP from akihabarashop.jp. I think they are sold out atm.Comment

if the sf4 stick is going to be sanwa then that is going to be the stick to chase down, unless hori do a rap for the 360.
IS the ex2 wireless or wired? i ask as i have a rabbit that free roams and has on occation chompped the odd cable, though she hasnt bitten any since she got the mains cable from the fridge.Comment

Glad it's not just me with roaming rabbit cable issues!
The Ex2 is wired mate - only drag it out when the bunny is asleep or eating - least that way I know she's not gonna sneak up ninja style for a sly nibble....Comment

and i though that i might be the only one.Originally posted by Brodie View Post
what are the chances of the madcats sf4 stick being a wireless one for the 360?
if wireless arent going to come it might be time to crack open a 360 wireless pad and stuff it in a hrap case.Comment
