Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the TE stick is based off of the Japanese arcade unit which supposedly has a square gate. I'm not exactly sure though.
Not sure on the gate... It has a Japanese ball stick and kind of a mixed button set so you can pick if you want the Japanese angled button layout or the straight American layout.
I HATE Zangief!!! He grabs all the time at WILL! How do you stop him! I hate how they made these lame characters have these unguardable moves...
the ps3 actually loads just as fast if not faster if you install it in the options menu. i just assigned throw to a button in the control config.
I played this game from 5 pm when i bought for the last 7 hours... addicting. the first thing I did was play arcade with ryu and it took me about 6 tries to beat freaking zangief and that was on medium. haha people kept challenging me online after every match so I had to turn it off so I could go about unlocking all the characters. I'll get into getting my ass beat on xbox live tomorrow. my thumb is raw from the r****ded xbox d-pad but I'm hesitant to plunk down 40 bucks on a controller specifically for one game.
yeah, i haven't unlocked all the players but i unlocked most by playing on easiest to get through it quicker. seth is so cheap.
You can watch a guy take apart the Tournament Edition of the stick here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=BDEC0E72AC5926C6
Yea it does and so does the $70 dollar version.. I have the $70 dollar one and it's great. My buddy bought the $150 and he say's they both feel the same. What's wrong with the Square gate? as matter of fact the top 10 players in the US and Japan use Square gate except maybe 1? I'm not good at SF IV (yet) but I'm trying lol I hang around a bunch of guys who go to competition in the US and Japan.. They totally kick my butt but have very good info on how to become better. I'll tell you what if you want to become good you have to buy a fighting stick. It's the only way to pull off some of the combos. Combos I can't do yet Have you guys seen the Hard Challenges? I can't even complete a whole set yet but my buddies have done all of them I SUCK.
I guess its just preference. I see more advantages with a round gate compared to a square gate I guess with the circular motions. I had little trouble pulling off the moves with the square gate but I just didn't think it was optimum unless you were using a charge character like guile, blanka, e.honda. I figured a round gate would be good for fighters like ryu, ken, zangief, cammy, fei long.
Alright, so I just made it to this point. The first fight I thought "hey this isn't so bad." The second fight... WOW this is hard.
I was playing on medium. Took me an hour to finally beat him. Ended up spamming shoryukens and got lucky.
I will say that I have had minimal problems with Seth. That is until I'm going through the game with Crimson Viper. Wow. I was this close to throwing my controller. Is there a way to make a fighting game boss difficult without making him cheap? I mean it gets to the point that it's not fun. I'm not going to set it lower than medium just to beat him..... yet.
