    On tigerdirect it said "Availability: Ships within 24 hours" but I guess they lied.

    @CL60:
    I bought one last week. It certainly is a quality piece of hardware, I can see why people love it. I, personally find it a total bitch to get used to, if you've been using a fightpad for a full year. I can NOT pull off double quarter circles, and it's just frustrating me. I might get my money back and buy a wireless mouse and keyboard for my PC with the cash instead, or I might keep it around for Mortal Kombat, I'm not sure yet.

    Reminds me of that time where some arcade stick scammer almost stole my money and ran away with a lot of other peoples cash and only shipping 3 or 4 actual sticks: Electric-Trouble
     
    Being the cynical person I am, I immediately reported him to Paypal when there was but a small hint of trouble, but those who were more forgiving and trusting got their money stolen and haven't gotten it back.  That was a year ago.

    Yeah, I mean, I can do it sometimes against the computer, but not on command against human opponents. I'm just not seeing any advantages over my fightpad. Maybe I will sell it (for now) and buy whatever awesome model they put out along side MvC3.

    You are giving up to easily. Obviously it's going to be difficult if you've never used it.

    I don't know anywhere else in Canada to get it, other then Amazon.ca and screw that because it is 169.99 at amazon.ca. Everywhere else is American and the price will probably be more then that for me.

    @CL60: At this point in my life, I would rather have a wireless mouse and keyboard and play Starcraft on my HDTV, than play Street Fighter with an arcade stick. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, my budget is tight, and I think I may have made the wrong choice. I'll give it another try later on, when I've got this college semester paid off.
     
    Trust me, I didn't try it once, say 'fuck this' and give up. I've thought long and hard about it.

    @TooWalrus: People may think differently, but arcade sticks are really not the type of thing you get immediately if you're not experienced with arcade controllers in the past.  It actually takes a long while until you can play efficiently with them, and even then I'm not that good playing with one when it doesn't involve playing a charge character.  If you're fairly casual at the game, you should have stuck with a pad.  People can be really effective with pad controls, also.

    I think it might be cheaper, but takes longer, to buy a stick from Amazon.com instead of .ca. Since there's more sales on the .com site. But iduno, I have almost no experience shopping online and looking for "hidden fees".

    Nope. Still says "Not yet shipped" So I'm probably going to cancel it and find somewhere else. Because this is just ridiculous.

    It appears that way, even though their site said, and still says:

    Unless you want to press all three punch/kick buttons for ultras, I would recommend keep it intact.

    It comes back pretty fast, I had trouble at first too.  By the way, using the buttons for all 3 kicks/punches is kinda frowned upon and pointless as hitting all 3 at the same time is really easy with a stick.

    Alright. I play Dhalsim, and after an hour in training, I decided to hit up the online. And I kept jumping in at people and getting anti-aired whenever i tried to yoga fire :( And if I tried to teleport most of the time I would do a jab.

    I can't give any advise on SF really, I kinda suck.  I just kinda mashed buttons when I got my stick until I started getting the motions right and he was doing the moves I wanted.

    @CL60:  like Sim would say "Calm yourself".. Take your time stick in the lab for a bit, I would even suggest going into the trial modes and do them over for the sake of getting your chops up. There's an adjustment period. The 1 3xp or 3xk button I have seen people say it's cheating because it's kinda like macro, others who just don't care. I don't think it's cheating but I'm a bit of a purist so I removed them and have the traditional 6 button setup.

    It makes a HUGE difference. After playing with a stick you'll start to dedicate more time to playing. Also the stick is great for some XBLA/PSN games. I have a FightStick SE that I modded with high quality parts and new art. Since getting the stick I've completely rekindled my interest in fighting games and I've been playing more shmups. You might only buy it for one game, but you'll probably get way more play out of that game to make it worth it. If you use if for other stuff and it enhances the play on those games, then the cost is easily justified.

    Man oh man, the more I read about people getting a stick the more I want to buy one.  Just don't know if I will be committed enough to justify the purchase, I may purchase the SE just to get my feet wet.  Then at a later date upgrade the parts if I stick (lol pun) with it.

    Also, hooray for losing 12 matches in a row against some of the worst players I've ever encountered.

    @CL60:  Lol, I spent a solid two weeks in training mode before going online when I first got my stick and I still lost a good hundred matches because I was fumbly with it.
