Anyone using it? I have no room for a fighstick so the pad is best for my setup. Does it work with other games or will i be switching back and forth? I'm really just looking for some feedback from people who use it and weather or not its good. Jeff likes his and i've heard it compared to a sega saturn controller(any truth to that?)
Thanks for your opinions
Street Fighter IV
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 18, 2008
After nearly a decade in hiatus, Capcom's signature mainline fighting game series resurfaces with its fourth main installment, combining the traditional 2D gameplay with modern fully-3D graphics.
Madcatz Fightpad
It has no analog sticks so it definitely will not work with any game that requires those. But for any D-Pad focused games, like I don't know... fighting games, it should work just fine. Other than analog sticks, the controller has every other button found on a normal 360 pad, but rearranged differently.
This one I'm looking at more than the fightstick, mainly just because the stick is so much money.
Personally, though, I'm a little leary to change since I've been playing with the traditional 360 controller so much, it might throw off my game to switch now.
I love mine.
Special moves are much easier to pull off than the 360 controller and the pad feels fine to me, though some have complained its too light.
I lose about 60% of the matches i play online...player or ranked.
I am not good at this game and have little desire to put the time in..but for my casual hop on, pick Dan, have fun style it works great

Hey, my win percentage is only about 40% as well, but I still have fun regardless and feel every match, win or lose, I'm getting a little better.
Nice thanks everyone. It does look like the old Saturn controller which means awesome for fighters. Now i have to hunt one down.

I couldnt give a shit less if I win or lose...to me its just a joy to play the game.
I agree it's a joy. But any tips for someone like me... I'm at about an 18 percent win rate. Everyone just says practice practice practice, but every time I'm pitted with someone who "matches my skill" they're always about 2000 BP higher than me and wipe the floor with me. Where can I practice if i can't even move hahah?

I'd say play Player Matches, find a guy who you can stand toe to toe with, and just play match after match after match against them. Try out different guys until you figure out who you're decently competent with and play multiple matches with them. Don't be afraid to bail out in a few matches if the guy is utterly kicking your ass.
Trying out Trials and going through Arcade on a bit of a more difficult level than you're used to can also help you to understand your fav character better and can help you astoundingly in online.
