This is great !!!



How much does it go for ?

Arcade sticks don't have much of a use anymore especially with all these 3D envirnoment games and such, but I can think of several games that I could use with this. I'm kind of iffy on it though because many of the arcade sticks made for home consoles aren't worth a crap. The Shadowblade arcade stick for the PS2, and the Alloy Stick for the Dreamcast were the worst I've ever used. I hope this one is an "Arcade Quality" arcade stick that has the exact feel as if you were playing an actual arcade. You know, arcade buttons, and the same joystick that arcade fighting games use. Something that can take a beating in frantic situations like when you lose because of a cheap combo and then you smash the buttons with your fist as many people have a habit of doing.

I think we know what that acronym stands for now:



XCM: Xtra Cheating Machine



What's the point of playing a fighting game if you're going to use this? I'm certainly not the most adept combo-user of the bunch (though not terrible). I may never see all of the fanciest moves that the characters can pull off.



That doesn't mean that I want to 'cheat at will' in order to see them.

I always played fighting games in the arcade and I didn't feel too bad losing to somebody who was skilled enough to pull these combos off manually, but the combo memory feature of this really takes away from all the fun of playing. What's the point when all you have to do is push a few buttons to win? Besides, when you learn to play one fighting game, you carry on the gameplay fundamentals of that game onto another.
