It's Called Poor Impulse Control. (Got The New TE Stick S)

By NinjaHunter 6 Comments

So, during PAX Madcatz had a special promotion for the new fightsticks where you could get 20% off the normal price at the gameshark online store. I immediately filled out an order. About a week later I received it and yeah... here's some pictures
 

 For comparison.
 For comparison.
When I opened the packaging and took the box out I noticed that it was smaller than the original box. I also noticed that neither the 3rd strike characters nor Hakan were featured on the box art. So I guess they finalized the packaging before they revealed those characters. But anyways the actual stick is basically the same as the original just with the sides chopped off and sexier art. So Now I have two high quality sticks for when friends come over to throw down. 
 
I'm thinking about modding it but I'll probably just get a new ball top because I like the overall look of the stick and I'm still trying to decide on art for my original stick but since I changed the buttons and ball top as well as the shaft cover on that one I might just leave it.

Looks sexy.  If I had the money, I would like to get on as well so I can have two sticks.  Maybe I'll get one this summer.

Looks awesome.  I'll probably end up getting an older TE as they will more than likely start dropping in price.

One thing I've noticed about the stick is that the plate that the art sits on, sticks out a little bit. On the original TE the there was that red plastic border around the art so that it would be smooth around the edges but nothing like that exists on the new stick and it's been scratching my left forearm a bit.

Isn't that just a plexi cover over art? I believe that's for ease of customization. just unscrew the plexi, change art, put plexi back on. 
 
Doh, never mind. Apparently that's not actually plexi, but is all a big hunk of artwork. Guess we have to wait for art's hobbies to come up with the TE-S plexi+art combo.

That sounds really dumb, why would they do that.
