    Well... it's YouTube. I thought people knew by now that the YT comments section is not exactly a hotbed of reasoned discourse.

    There were problems with the washer which have been fixed in the new production batches. It's not exactly the best stick you'll ever use but it works fine and it is much better than a Hori. Asking the same question over and over isn't going to net you many different answers in the same thread mate!

    I highly recommend the TE stick, haven't tried the SE version but the TE was worth every cent.

    Buy that one on adverts already!! Pay the extra that he wants, then try to make up the difference by selling stuff on adverts.

    www.amazon.com or www.amazon.co.uk

    As far as I know amazon.com won't ship to Europe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭honru


    It looks like Amazon UK themselves have sold out of sticks and have switched to a different supplier ("findprice") which doesn't ship to Ireland.

    They may have them back in stock shortly, maybe drop them an email.

    I wouldn't think of it in those terms, dude (unless you're already very used to playing fighters on stick). Playing on a TE won't magically improve your game, in fact it'll probably set you back for a while as you make the adjustment from controller to stick - I'd say this would take a couple of weeks of play at the least. Just don't want you to get frustrated if you get your TE delivered and aren't instantly pulling off FADC ultra combos!

    That said they are great yokes, and fair play on getting one that isn't at a complete ripoff price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    My TE arrived on friday from amazon had a voucher so decided to contribute the rest in addition to this there was problems with my fightpad (issues with diagonal jumps after a period) so it needs returning.

    Have not had too much time to play so far with it,or in general for that matter. However what little ability I had is gone heh. It will defintely need some time to build back up and get used to the finger positions and such.

    Nice item though!

    Yep, if you're anything like me it'll be a while before you can even throw fireballs out consistently again (and if you're even more like me, you'll still have that problem and avoid most fireball characters entirely! :pac:)

    yep i know it will take a while but combos metc on pads are too difficult - the stick will help a lot i think as my friend has a hori and seems pretty happy with it! ill be building slowly til i rule the tourneys lol!

    and yes seems to be a great price so im delighted:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 362 ✭✭joconnell


    Yep getting used to the stick is odd - can see what shoto folks say about the square gate though the ducking shoryuken is great. Plus charge characters are viable for me now! I'm normally a ryu / akuma but since they're inconsistent for me at the minute I've been playing vega in g2 :D

    The se definitely feels a little loose alright - the button presses are very spongy feeling and I'm finding I play better on the right now instead of left. Fun!

    was in gamestop in the pavillions in swords, i was looking around and noticed a rockband kit on the wall, so i looked around the wall area and seen four hori sticks two xbox two ps3 for 55 quid

    i was planning on getting a stick anyway so i bought one for my xbox havent played with it yet as i got home late and its noisy as hell! but cant wait to try this out it looks nice and charge moves seem easy from messing with it on the bus.

    just thought i'd let people know in case they wanted to pick up one :)
