Questions & Answers

Could this be used for pc games made with mame?

The answer is yes. PCs can be used with it

In the event that all parts need to be replaced, what size should you order?

Each part of the machine can be replaced. It would be helpful if you were more specific about the size. Describe your question in terms of buttons and sticks. When compared with Hori parts, they tend to be the same size. You might want to consider Sanwa if your budget allows.

The USB connection would make it likely to be able to work with the newer fighting games (SF5 and Tekken 7, and I would think it should since it uses the usb port). ?

On the PS4 versions of those games, only legacy controls are available.

Selected User Reviews For Mad Catz SoulCalibur V Arcade FightStick SOUL Edition for Xbox 360

A perfect hold even today, 5 years after its inception
5/5

Fighting stick made of solid materials. It's a fantastic version of the Mad Catz TES+ which I've used for about 5 years now. I regularly use it for Street Fighter 4, SF5, Tekken, Skullgirls, Guilty Gear, KoF and Soul Calibur 5. I am still 100% satisfied with how everything works. As soon as I got it, I modded a couple things. Instead of having the layout for soul calibur as the default, I rearranged the buttons on the fightstick to match street fighter's. The pcb inside the xbox360 fightstick became obsolete when I upgraded to next console generations, so I decided to replace it with a universal pcb that works on all consoles and PC platforms, instead of buying a new fightstick. Since the face plate is made of a single piece of metal, there is no way to customize the artwork. However, for the price, this is not a major complaint. In the time since I bought this stick, I have used a few more sticks and still prefer the way this one feels compared to other brands like Hori and Qanba. This stick is still the best to start with if you are looking for your first stick, or the Hori Pro 4 Kai.

This is a damn good stick
5/5

I am going to get to the bottom of this. As a Christmas gift from my wife, she bought me this stick because she was frustrated with what I was using for the Xbox 360 controller. I had been ranting about this pad for years, and she finally ordered me a stick to reduce my shouting. Growing up, I spent a lot of time playing American arcade games The gate does not have a restrictor gate, concave buttons, or bats It was impossible for the top joysticks to spin As a result, I had a lot of trouble adjusting to this thing. It was my hope that it would be It used to be possible to purchase single tanks sticks, but they no longer do so. Thanks for sending this one my way. of the greatest gifts I've ever received. Plays MAME games with no problems. It's smooth as silk in Street Fighter IV This is a HUGE improvement over the shoddy old D-style The cover. Needless to say, this would be the perfect music for Soul Calibur. The pros are I-*- *- Response time
- * Durable - A noticeable amount of heft - It's a nice piece of artwork. I am engrossed in the long cable
The quality of the overall release was good For the Mad Catz, in particular In order to function as either right or left analog stick, the joystick must have two buttons
Cons I-*- *- The layout of the buttons is somewhat awkward. For those who have never played on a Japanese stick before, take these factors I-*- *- A ball top is attached to the actual stick and it can be rotated freely like a knob*- Currently, there is a 4-week trial period The stick can only travel within a square area within the housing of the unit, i. e. it is restricted by this constraint-- If you move the stick in any direction, you'll feel a light, tactile click, and that 'click' is needed for the stick to register the movement. There's a double-edged sword here. There is a natural movement to touching like on a Mortal Kombat machine but there is not the same subtlety. It is a great product. I would recommend it to those who are partial to Japanese sticks or those who are willing to adjust their style of playing to accommodate.

How Can a Stick That Costs $100 Be of Tournament Quality? We'd love to have you! Let's forget this is a SoulCalibur stick for a moment
5/5

You may enjoy SoulCalibur if it's a game you play Everything is set for you now. This is a perfectly functional fightstick that is compatible with just about any other game, so you don't have to play SC. Quality Sanwa parts were used to make this, and it shows. The build quality is simply incredible for the price. There are four buttons on the joystick There are 8 directions in the gate, and it records them all. The layout used here is a Namco layout, so if you don't play SC, you'll have to remap the buttons in whatever fighting game you play, or you can open it up and change some connections, but that's not necessary for it to work as intended. My final judgment would be 5/5 for this one. This is a sturdy item. For the price, it is a steal. It has a comfortable layout and is fairly priced.

This is an excellent weapon for fighters
5/5

The group of friends I play fighting games with are huge UMvC3 fans. Then again, we play 20 matches before breaking its hold over us, so these things have been in action for a few weeks now. In spite of this, they've held up phenomenally, since they are built like Simply the heft of the bag makes this feel like a heavy duty one The piece of equipment is solid. The feel of the stick and buttons has taken us a little while to get used to because we're used to normal controllers, but there's no doubt that the button action and stick makes fighting games so exciting. I'd only ding the design for the lack of a notch or groove in the cardinal directions to identify the position for sure, as the corners do. To my knowledge, it doesn't hinder my playing, however, I need to be aware of it if I want to avoid slipping from a forward to an up-side Submitted input in the wrong direction. tl dr The adulation that followed led me to buy two of these.

My concern was that the quality of the build would deviate from the There's no need to worry about the weight of this thing
5/5

It feels like the item is made of one fifth inch plastic or at least that is what it seems to be. In other words, it is very sturdy, heavy, and could probably be used as a weapon without breaking, so the housing is very solid. The buttons on the back are very nice, too. I've been using it while playing other games and it's great. I got it yesterday, it's good. It's my first one and a lot of people said it's a very good one to get for your first one. Many use it in tournaments and like.

5/5

In this fightstick there is a sanwa part that is identical to the components used in a Mad Catz TE stick. This is what I've experienced, as my friend has an MC TE stick and it feels similar, although his is older and therefore more broken-in than mine. Having your own hado wars is great. The FADC Ultra game is fantastic as well. I do not know why the button scheme is different Ikd why it just cannot be applied. The only problem is the lack of parking. It's a great quality, but I still get bodied but this is my fault. The price is considerably less than a Hori and its worth it much more. I would suggest this as a fighting game stick for those who like them.

Controller of the highest quality
5/5

Throughout my gaming career, it has been my go-to controller. It is very easy for your hands to get hurt if you use the standard controller for a long period of time. In my opinion, this is the best solution, and it works perfectly with.

There was a need for a new one
5/5

Unfortunately, my SSFIV fight stick just died on me, and I'm not yet ready to jump to Xbox One since they only have Killer Instance as a good fighting game.
