Some of you may know that Mad Catz have the licencing to make the Street Fighter 4 controllers. At first this was a great disappointment to a lot of people as Mad Catz have a very bad reputation for their low budget controllers with no real priority given to competitive players. Then there was hope, S-Kill and Markman are two people who know arcade sticks very well and both were working with Mad Catz on the design.
There will be two arcade sticks offered, a premium one featuring the same sanwa parts used in the real arcade cabinet and a standard one for the more casual player (still the same layout) as well as a pad with an interesting d-pad. There will also be changeable faceplates for the sticks and pads.
At the recent GameStop convention the peripherals were on display, take a look!
