New wave of SF controllers coming?

[Diek Stiekem]

When I look at www.streetfightercontroller.com , I see more character silhouttes (besides Ryu, Ken, etc.) like Guile, Bison & Sagat.

Does Udon plan to release these and if so when?

[nortlee]

Is it me or do I see two Ryu's there? Evil Ryu? If so, cool I would get that one.

[Diek Stiekem]

Here's what i think (taking over roster form site)

Ryu, Guile, Ken, Vega, (I think long haired person) Evil Ryu (must be)
Sagat (bald guy can't miss), Chun Li, Sakura (guess), Bison (YEAH!), Akuma.

[nortlee]

Here's what I can see from left to right, first row and then second (These are all character boxes from Super Street Fighter 2):
Guile, possibly Vega, Ryu again, Sagat, Cammy (Definite) and Bison.

[Diek Stiekem]

Cammy would be sooooo much better than Sakura ;)

[nortlee]

I don't know, I prefer Sakura really, but that was definitely Cammy's character icon image.

[KentDog]

I have to agree with nortlee's guesses. I want to see the Evil Ryu controller.

I've been meaning to get these.. anyone have any reviews of them? $25+, want to make sure they're worth it.

i think that the silouhette of ryu from street fighter 2 the new challenger

geez, i feel bad for whoever buys these pieces of shit. These controlers are really some of the crappiest controlers you could buy and totaly not worth the money.

Do you actually own one of them? And you have the SF Anniversary game, too right? If so, would you say they are noticably worse than the PS2 controller? I'm already used to playing on the PS2 controller and thought these controllers would be a cool novelty, but only if they work well.

Thanks for any info. Other people feel free to post reviews as well.

Loose is the best way to describe them. Parrying anything with these things ads some randomness to whether you've "rolled" the d-pad instead of tapping it.

The most tradgic failure of these things is the button layout. You have to adjust every SF game to fit these things. They could have just mapped them in a sensable way.

Oh, btw, the start button is right on top of the FP button, so don't play them in tournies, unless you like getting dq-ed.

Looks like Guile, Bison, Sagat, Cammy, Evil Ryu and possibly Fei Long?

[nortlee]

Fei Long is my 2nd guess, its a tough one between Vega and Fei-Long to me as they both would leave a similar kind of shadow imo.

I dunno, that one confuses me.

[dialupsucky]

I have 3 of them..... unfortnatly

Or well basicly both me and my brother bought them. Mine litteraly broke after 10 plays through. I bought a new one same thing. My brothers still kinda works. This controlers are horrible. I do not recomend then to anyone. The buttons are absolutley shit. after just a few times of playing the buttons started sticking and they always negative edge no matter what.

The pad is horrible to, SPDs are next to impossible.

The only good thing i can see is well, even though the buttons do suck it is 6 buttons which is nice. And it also "feels" nice. However even with that said as nice as it feels, it isnt as comfertable as a regular pad to play on.

PS. although the start button is at a gay place. It shouldnt be to bad. (a horrible place to put them in no doubt, but it coulda been worse im sure)

Anyway so yea 6 buttons are nice, and it "feels" nice. Everythign else is more or less shit. use this controlers are a last resort if you dont have money for a arcade stick but need 6 buttons to play sf.

From left to right I think the blanks are:
Sagat
M.Bison
Sakura
Alex (top)
Guile(bottom)
Evil Ryu (boo! hiss!)

The next wave is coming out on xbox, i dont think i can find the link, but it was definitly sagat and cammy....think it was maybe bison and guile aswell...anyway, there was four of them , and they were due for xbox round about february..which probably means may ;)

and yeah, they do kinda suck, only just better than a ps2 pad, but u are so much better off with a converter and a jap saturn pad, those things rock. I will buy some more of the sf pads though, coz the packaging is soo feckin sahweeeet!

Aw man why aren't people getting it? That blank is DEFINITELY Cammy's icon, not Sakura's, the arms should tell that much. Every one of those icons are from Super Street Fighter 2.

[ExplodingFist]

New ones i know of are Akuma, Sagat, Guile and Cammy. I dont know what ones are following them.

[wakasashe]

I think the quality is decent. THey work fine. However, it really is the design and novelty that makes you want to get one. They look great and even the packaging is awesome. I just hope, REALLY hope that the joystick rocks.

[iamtrung]

Awesome looking with great packaging, but the start button placement is kinda annoying for me. I just tend to press on it by accident from time to time.

[Jahnli]

i picked the Chun Li one up if only because I never get SF#1 with the holo cover lol. Nice that the box has it - well part of it.

This controller isn't very form fitting - it's not comfortable to grip, i actually end up only gripping it with the pad side and the button side i hover my fingers over it - what can i say, i'm used to not just using a thumb, i want a damn arcade stick someday when i can afford it.

of course holding the controller this way results in my thumb getting "NES" disease after an hour - i swear my fingernail was going to pull off the flesh.

on the other hand, my button memory is coming back and the 6-button config is really necessary, so i like this controller just for that reason.

all in all for the money not a bad purchase.

[Taichi]

the first series has been reduced to $14.99 at Gamestop

[KentDog]

Thanks for the heads up, Taichi. By the way, I remember someone mentioning that the Akuma controllers were no longer going to be just Blockbuster exclusive. I checked on Gamestop.com and could not find them there. Anyone know where else they are available? Hopefully not just Blockbuster because I believe they are $25 there. -Kent

[Taichi]

not sure about that one, I have the Ryu one (though I like the colors on the Chun Li one better), not sure about Akuma....

personally, I like it cuz it feels like a Sega 6-Button Genesis controller, and I'm all about the oldschool......

sure, eventually I'm gonna build a stick, but until I can, the pad will do.....
