Well, not all. But it does have some shortcut buttons that you can load up with complex combos and retrigger at a touch.
Check out the video above of the XCM Dominator Joystick for PS3, from TotalConsole. It shows how easy it is to tap in a combo, save it to one of the memory buttons, and then retrigger it. Of course, you'll get no respect using this in a fighting game tourney, but I could see how it would be fun to have four preloaded hard-to-do moves set up, ready to go.
They joystick also has independent button rapid fire fuction, too. Oh, and it lights up at its base. It looks like the joystick will run for $79.99.

I have a Soul Calibur 2 stick with a program function that I never got to work properly. Actually that stick is kind of ass and I never use it, I should sell it.
just saying. Also think it's funny they show VF of all games. But yea. This crap won't go far in a tournament scene seeing you aren't allowed to do said crap.
Those auto combo buttons are way to small in my opinion, i can easily see myself slipping my fingers on to the wrong one, especially as you need to be looking at the screen while your doing it.
Plus i think this looks kinda tacky with the lights on it, in a sort of Pimp my ride we just replaced your handbrake with a neon strobe light sorta way.
yea the buttons are rather small. The Lights IMO are cool but would be better off on the buttons. I've seen some pretty cool customs with good placements of lights. I just think having them at the base is rather pointless.
This thing is terrible.
Dont get me wrong, if done right lights can really set a joystick off, like backlit buttons as you said. This however just looks like something soulja boy would have in his game room. I can hear him now
" Yo i gots the pimp ass joystick mo fo, got neons and all that shit. Its so sick i just press one button and it does all the work fo me, soulja boy tell em"
You hear me, guy who mapped Ivy's combos to shoulder buttons?! A CRUTCH!
