Your 360 is going to redring in a few minutes.
That fucking sucks.
I preordered the TE stick, and really want the pad too. With all of these complaints, seems like the new Madcatz = the old Madcatz.
Also, I now need new pants because of your blog header. It's that awesome!
Ha, thanks that's what I get stuck doing when all I have is paint.
I'm probably just going to return it tomorrow and force myself to play with the regular 360 d-pad until I know I can find a reliable means of playing fighters.
Ouch, that sucks. If you DO get a fully functioning one they are pretty nice. The dpad is much nicer of course, and I like the button layout.
I am really not looking forward to ponying up for a stick as I really want to enjoy this game, but hate the 360 pad.
How much is a cheap one?
$79.99 is the cheapest one of the Street Fighter sticks I think the Hori one is like $40 is you can still find them.
@FitzLik3AlG0r3,
I actually cancelled my Madcatz TE preorder, walked down the street to the local mom and pop game store and bought a Hori Real Arcade 360 Pro EX.
Amazon Link
Sorry Madcatz, I don't have time for your crap!
Best Buy carries the fight pads also.
My local one had dozens of them (Ryu and Chun-li flavors).
@Casualweaponry,
I'd love to get that but I'm pretty strapped for cash.. that stick looks amazing though. When I get some more money I'll probably invest in that.
@Jamnontheone,
Cool, I may go there and check it out. I really wanted a Ken one but with the fact that it doesn't work I'm willing to get any character at this point.
If you cant move around with the d-pad, it could be that it need to be switched to act as the left analogue stick. there's a switch somewhere on the pad that does this I think.
@Remo,
Already toggled that switch, controller just doesn't read into the system. Nothing works including the d-pad.
I got mine last week (Ryu, go figure). I really love it. I'm sorry that yours isn't working. When you get a working one back, though, it will totally be worth it. I really just wanted a decent pad for my 360. But, I'm so sold on it that I can't wait until the PS3 versions hit the stores.
Not only that, but it's a dream for many XBLA titles. It's going to be well worth waiting a month, if need-be to get a working one. Or check out a Best Buy or two.
I hope it works out for you. I'm really sorry. That totally sucks.
Guess I'll whore out:

In the comments I have a video of a closeup on it and how it looks.
Also watch out for the cheaper Madcatz arcade stick (the 79.99) the joystick gets stuck because of a washer near the stick gets stuck in there which causes the stick to get stuck on a certain angle, I still can't believe that Capcom chose MadCatz of all companies.
That's depressing.
I just bought this flippin controller today and I'm not liking it. returning it tomorrow :( It's only saving grace is the d-pad! everything else feels so cheap...oh great now my X button is squeeking...mad cats wtf.
I actually got lucky and the Game Crazy I bought it from had an extra Ryu controller that works. Thank God. ha It's so much better then the 360's d-pad it's pretty heavenly. Now I've gotta get used to playing Street Fighter on a pad I can actually use. No idea why my other one didn't work though, sad I can't have my Ken one but a working one is just as awesome.
that's cool. though i still prefer arcade sticks over sega saturn style controllers.
and for that, I fucking enjoy my tournament edition stick.
