Stickei!!!

Hmm… referring to my previous post, I’m sorry to say that I have lost to the power of splurging temptation. I’ve been having a lot of problems with my shit stick lately, making this new purchase more or less feasible when it comes to fighting game goodness. Out of respect, I would like to post a pic of Shitstick to celebrate the life (and death) of one of the most crappiest sticks in the world.“REST IN PEACE SHITSTICK”

 

Anyway.. here goes! TADA!

 

HRAP3 Tekken 6 stickies! The packaging is quite nice but a bit hollow at some point. I mean the Blazblue stick gave us posters and stickers to go with the 5k stick, although I doubt I’d want to have a Kazuya or Jin sticker anytime soon. 

First of all, the stick does look nice. Clagged in black, the layout, one look and you’d know this piece of shit isn’t your average shitstick. The stick is Sanwa while the buttons are your average Hori ones making it quite similar to the Blazblue stick (really comfy to use). Technically the only difference between the two is that the Blazblue stick comes with stickers and posters while the Tekken stick’s stick is an inch farther than the buttons.

Useless feature: Both Horis seem to have this really stupid feature of letting the players program the stick to the controller’s left or right analog stick. Now who the fuck cares about that feature? it’s not like people can perform Hadoukens better with the right stick right? I’m not sure what forced Hori to do this but I guess they just have to add enough stuff to make this look more……. expensive?

There’s also a turbo option which is ideal for playing bullethell shooters like Ikaruga etc but its not like we have a lot of those games comin to our nextgen consoles right (maybe for the Wii)?

All in all, it was a great deal. The stick did function 150% better than the late Shitstick so I guess that’s that.
